Board of Directors
The Minnesota Companion Bird
Association was founded in 1977. We are governed by a ten-member Board
of Directors consisting of a President, Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer (one-year terms), and six Directors (staggered two-year
terms). Elections are held every November to determine the four
executive positions and three of the six Directors. In addition,
Committee Chairpersons are appointed by the Board to head our many
specialized committees. The Board meets the first Wednesday of each
month at 7:00 p.m. All members are welcome to attend Board meetings.
Members are asked to reserve agenda time in advance if they would like
to address the Board.

Volunteer Opportunities
The MCBA is run entirely by the
volunteer efforts of our members. Since everyone has something special
to offer the bird club, all members are encouraged to run for office or
volunteer for committees and events. If you have some spare time and/or
a special skill you'd like to share with your club, leave your name and
phone number with a Board member at a meeting.
Feedback
All complaints regarding
meetings, newsletter
content, or decisions made by committees or the Board of Directors
should be made in writing to a member of the Board. The Board is happy
to take up any complaint when it is made in writing, but cannot
formally review oral complaints. Home addresses are published in the
MCBA Roster, or you can hand-deliver your letter to a Board member at a
meeting. The Board also is more than happy to receive any praise you
care to offer—in writing or otherwise!
