NEW NAME – SAME MISSION:
Hello Saint Paul Audubon Society members and friends! We are pleased to announce our new name: Saint Paul Bird Alliance.
After many months of ongoing discussions, input gathering, and options exploration, the board voted on October 7 to change the name of our chapter to Saint Paul Bird Alliance. We appreciate all of you who provided feedback during this process.
Your thoughtful comments confirmed the importance of everyone’s cooperation in protecting the birds, who need us now more than ever.
The “Bird Alliance” name aligns us with many chapters nationwide that have removed Audubon from their names. For example, the Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis is joining us today in adopting a new name: Land of Lakes Bird Alliance. The Duluth Audubon Society has just announced its new name, Northeastern Minnesota Bird Alliance.
We will transition to our new name over the next few months. Please read today’s news release and FAQ document for more background and details about the name change.
It is exciting to have a new name. Still, we continue with the same mission: To engage a diverse community in enjoying, understanding, and protecting birds and the habitats all living beings need to thrive.
