Speaking of volunteers, as fall weather arrives, we turn to the future and planning for 2025. Do you have a few extra hours a month to give back to the DBC? Our continued success depends on volunteers who are willing to serve. Holding a Board position or chairing a committee is fun, stimulating and social. Why not give it a try? We have openings for the following volunteer positions:

• Vice President: Arranges for presenters for member meetings. Becomes President the following year. This is a most critical role to ensure the club's continuity as an organization.
• Treasurer: Oversees the club's finances, makes donations, pays bills and speakers, and provides monthly financial reports. Managing the club's money is obviously very important!
• Corresponding Secretary: Sends new members greeting letters. Publicizes meeting speakers and field trips in various news outlets. Help us welcome new members and spread the good word on our programs.
• Director: Provides valuable input to the Exec Committee and assists with various DBC functions. This is your chance to act as the voice for all club members.
• Outreach Coordinator: Works with the Outreach Committee to coordinate programs in response to requests from local organizations. Engage with the community to educate and share our love of birds.
• Field Trip Coordinator: Contacts potential field trip leaders and assembles monthly calendar of field trips. This vital role is shared with another volunteer. Field trips are among our strongest benefits to members.
• Webmaster: Applies monthly updates to website and handles incoming email from general DBC mailbox. This role is shared with another volunteer. NOTE: No prior website management experience required; training is provided. Learn a new skill and keep our excellent website current.
• Audiovisual Coordinator: Ensures that hybrid meetings relying on Zoom and in-person
  presentation work smoothly. Put your tech skills to work.
