At the March 2023 DBC meeting, long-time member Joe Suchecki was awarded the Distinguished Achievement Award in recognition of his exceptional service to the DuPage Birding Club.
Joe has served on the Board in many capacities, including President and most recently Corresponding Secretary. In addition to these important roles, Joe has lent his creative and organizational talents in several other capacities, including DBC Education Channel contributions and a Beginning Birder course, managing the Spring Bird Count, championing a collaboration between the DBC and the DuPage Forest Preserve to restore a woodland understory, and orchestrating the sale of donated decoys on behalf of the Club. A well-deserved congratulations to Joe!
