WOS Conference Committee

The Board is looking for members who would like to be involved with putting on the annual conference. The over-all planning of the event includes research and recommendations of possible sites, arranging for facilities and service providers, managing registration, and assisting the Treasurer with detailed accounts of all expenses and revenues. This committee will be overseen by the Board, to which it reports. A fair understanding of the birds of Washington and their distribution is helpful, but not required. Contact Patricia Lott if interested.

Staff the WOS Table at Birding Festivals and Fairs

This is an enjoyable service that only requires a few hours and puts you right into fun and educational bird activities across the state. A love of birds and of WOS, plus a willingness to answer questions or find a resource for people’s questions over two-four hour time slots are all that is required.  Partners can ‘spell’ each other and we can take several teams per day at the Othello Sandhill Crane Festival and other birding festivals and fairs across the state (Grays Harbor, Leavenworth, etc).  It can be surprising who you will meet and what great local birding you find out about while working the WOS booth.  Please contact Patricia Lott.
