: Dec 2: Board Meeting

We have a new name!

Appreciation goes to all of the chapter members and friends who contacted us about the Board's proposal to change our chapter name and to the members who expressed their opinion through voting.

We held this election in a 2-week window in early May, with 70% of voting chapter members supporting our proposal to adopt a new name: Bird Alliance of Southwestern New Mexico.

We’re proud to share the “Bird Alliance” name with chapters across New Mexico and the country. We believe that this new name is both welcoming and more descriptive of who we are.

Please bear with us as our volunteer Board works over the next several months to officially change our name, logo, web site, and communications.

Birds need us now more than ever. Thank you for being a part of our bird alliance!

Thank You for Your Support

Give Grandly is a fundraiser sponsored by the Grant County Community Foundation that benefits many local non-profits. Held in May since 2014, this was the first time the Southwestern New Mexico Audubon chapter had participated for a number of years. Thanks to a number of match fund donors, every organization that raised $500 on its own had that amount matched. What an amazing gift!

Thank you to all who supported SWNMA during the Give Grandly fundraiser. We raised $2197, which was $197 over the amount we had hoped for.
