Election for ECBA Board of Directors

Monday November 7, 2022

Home » ECBA News » Election for ECAS Board of Directors

We are approaching the end of another year and it’s time to elect new Board members to fill vacancies created by those who are leaving the Board. Both Amanda Accamando and myself will be vacating our Board positions at the end of 2022.

There will be three ECBA members on the ballot running for the first time as well as one current Board member, our Treasurer Gordon Wetzel, who will be running for a second 3-year term.

We will be emailing ballots to our current active members around December 8. The ballots will need to be returned to ECBA one week after mailing which should be December 15. We hope you will vote and return the ballots as a way of letting us know that you are interested in how this orgnaization functions.

Jan Rising, ECBA Vice-president.

The Pinyon Jay

Here in Central Oregon, for over 10 years, ECBA volunteer Kevin Smith has invested his time and inspired others to report sitings of Pinyon Jays, and over the last 5 years Ken Hashagen, together with Kevin, have helped provide banding data to ODFW and the USGS Birding Lab. Now ECBA volunteers and the USFWS have an exciting opportunity to work together to study these birds in a brand new way! Photo courtesy of Abbott Schindler
