Monthly Chapter Meeting

Please join us for this month’s chapter meeting to hear from our very own Audubon star, Kim Brand. Kim will speak to the link between our local efforts and National Audubon priorities. Kim started her bird advocacy journey right here in Winston-Salem with Forsyth Audubon, serving as vice president and secretary. She then spent nine years at North Carolina Audubon before joining the National Audubon staff as Vice President of Conservation Action, Chapters, a position she has held for the past two years. Kim earned a bachelor’s degree in public relations from the University of Florida and a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of South Florida. She earned her MS in Zoology from the University of South Florida.

Kim helped lead several new projects and partnerships while serving on the Forsyth Audubon board from 2008 to 2014, including co-founding the Lights Out program, coordinating the Wood Thrush geolocator tagging project with National Audubon Society and the Smithsonian Institution (as well as serving as an executive producer on The Wood Thrush Connection film released in 2016), and growing a native-plants-landscaping partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County.
