- The Board decided to proceed with honoring BHAS and community volunteers by resuming our yearly awards. We will advertise for nominations in the January Echo.
- The decision was made to purchase bird field guides in Spanish and donate them to the Timberland Library system. This will help with our continuing effort to become a more inclusive organization.
- In a similar note, Mary Birchem will be leading a BHAS field trip on October 24th especially for differently-abled people. The walk will be on the boardwalks and roads of Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually NWR.
- The Ad Hoc Leadership Committee will be reaching out to Board members and our leadership team to fill upcoming officer and Board member positions.
- The Board finalized our Major Project vetting procedure. Both the guidelines and the checklist will be posted on our website for access by our members.
- It was decided to continue using the COVID-19 protocols for field trips through our next Board meeting. Since we are not requiring proof of vaccination, we will continue to require masks.
