The Management Board is the guiding body of the SJV. It provides vision and guidance to pursue our mission. The Management Board is a multinational team from across the SJV region in the U.S. and Mexico. Board Members include representatives from federal and state agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, universities, as well as private citizens interested in the conservation of birds and their habitats within the boundaries of the SJV.
Contact Jennie Duberstein to learn more about the board or how to become involved.
