Agenda Items: Ron’s Replacement. Yes, I have decided that my work commitments are increasing and making it harder for me to fulfill all my obligations. Unfortunately, this is the one that I am having to drop. I have very much enjoyed being the California Coordinator and have learned tons of stuff about habitat conservation. I intend to remain active with our partners and to continue with our mutual goals to protect and enhance bird habitats. If you know of someone who could do a good job in this role, please let me know, and even better come to the meeting to help us strategize on the future needs of the California partners."
