The Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival operates under the auspices of the Morro Coast Audubon Society and is overseen by a Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for short- and long-range planning, all financial decisions, and personnel matters. Almost all of the Board members are unpaid volunteers, as are nearly all of the field trip and work shop presenters as well as the people who work during the Festival. In all, over 120 volunteers are involved in making the Festival a success.
This past year, our friend Joanna Frawley passed away, one of our most active volunteers and supporters. Joanna was a past Chair and driving force behind the MBWBF. We miss her.
