Governance

The MB-CNPS chapter is governed by a Board of Directors composed of 4 elected members of the executive committee, plus 2-8 appointed committee chairpersons or members-at-large. A Chapter Council Representative attends the quarterly state-wide chapter council meetings to represent the chapter’s interests, activities and issues, and to report back to the chapter on issues and activities of the other CNPS chapters, CNPS Chapter Council, CNPS Board of Directors, and CNPS staff.

Our people

The MB-CNPS chapter is run by numerous volunteers who are committed to increasing the understanding, appreciation, enjoyment, and preservation of California native plants. Chapter board members and committee chairs donate hundreds of hours of their personal time using their personal expertise to organize scientific activities, education programs, conservation activities, and stewardship programs.
