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. All of the voting 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. Four part-time paid staff members (Coordinator, Registrar, Brochure Design, and Transportation Coordinator) are nonvoting Board members.
