MCAS Board of Directors

Committee Chairs 2025-26

The Board of Directors for the Mendocino Coast Audubon Society met on July 29 for our annual Planning and Budgeting meeting. Our first item of business was to welcome our new Board member, Karen Wilkinson, who came all the way up from Gualala. She brings prior experience with nonprofits, as well as a keen interest in local birds, and we are really excited about working with her. Thanks Karen!
