Are you interested in getting more involved in Oregon’s chapter of the Wildlife Society? Or do you know someone who may have interest in a leadership position with ORTWS? By running for the ORTWS board you not only expand your networking opportunities but you also can contribute to one of the oldest wildlife professional organizations in America. For all these reasons and more you should consider becoming a board member!
ORTWS had three officer positions and three board member positions open for the 2020 elections:
- Secretary
- President-elect
- Vice President-elect
- Three board members at large
The Board meets once every other month throughout the year to plan the annual meeting, plan workshops, provide input on pressing conservation issues, consider grant requests, and in general serve the interests of the Chapter and Oregon’s wildlife. You can learn more about each of these positions in the ORTWS operations manual or feel free to contact any of the current board members and we will be happy to share our experiences with you.
Please send your nominations (you are allowed to nominate yourself!), along with a brief description of the candidate to Michael O’Casey (michaelocasey@ortws.org) by January 3rd. Elections will occur February 5-7 at our 2020 Annual Meeting in Eugene, Oregon.
