Our volunteer Board of Directors includes a group of highly committed volunteers and members who are critical to our mission.
Each year Directors are elected at the Annual Member Meeting, Potluck & Awards, typically held each June.

Members who wish to propose themselves or another member for election to serve on the Board of Directors shall express interest to the Executive Director or President, as well as fill out an interest form. Please contact the Director or Board President with any questions.

Our board and staff work closely with an advisory committee focused on our environmental work in general. Our work is also expanded through our advisory committees focused specifically on Duxbury Docents, our annual Point Reyes Birding and Nature Festival, and development. For interest in our development, Bird Festival, or Advisory Committee, please fill out an interest form. For interest in our Duxbury Docents advisory committee, please contact Leslie Adler-Ivanbrook.

Advisory Committee (Land, Water & Biodiversity)

Our Advisory Committee (board, staff, and other stakeholders) provides expertise and advice on the complicated issues facing our lands, waters, and biodiversity in coastal Marin. Their feedback and recommendations help broaden our view and scope when making decisions involving:

• Land-use and planning

• Protecting public lands (federal, state, and county),

• Impacts of climate change, including sea level rise planning and resilience,

• Safeguarding our coast and oceans, including our local freshwater watershed

• Protection of habitat and species, pesticide use, and pollution.
