Speaking of Board Meetings

The Board of Directors of Friends of the Lower Suwannee & Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges will be looking for up to 3 new directors this fall for a two-year term to begin with the Annual Meeting on March 4, 2017. All Friends members are eligible to serve on the Friends all-volunteer Board.

Board members actively and creatively help to support the Refuges through the design and implementation of programs and communications that provide advocacy and outreach for the Refuges' mission and goals.

During this round of Board recruitment, Friends especially need individuals with experience and/or interest in the following areas: 

• Field sciences
• Non-profit board experience
• Management skills
• Event organization
• Web tools and social media

The Board of Directors meets monthly, except in August and sometimes December.

Board members support the goals of the organization with their time and talent. This is a working board in which members serve as chairs and/or members of committees of the board, involving often daily work.

If you can envision yourself playing a role in the future of Friends of Refuges and would be willing to serve on the Board, please contact Maria Sgambati, the current president, at friends@friendsofrefuges.org
