Hello Friend,

We are very excited to announce that Tyler Harms has been appointed by our Board of Directors to the position of Executive Director of Iowa Young Birders.  Tyler has been serving as Associate Director since December 2014. 

Later this summer, my wife and I are moving to Colorado where our daughter and son-in-law live.  I will be continuing to assist Tyler as needed and will remain as a board member and also hope to come back to help out on field trips from time to time.

Tyler is planning an exciting schedule of young birder events which will be added soon to our website at www.iowayoungbirders.org/events.

Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, friends, volunteers and, especially, the young birders who have all helped to make the first three years of Iowa Young Birders so successful and gratifying!

I can assure you that Iowa Young Birders is in the very best of hands and our commitment to encouraging and developing the next generation of Iowa's birding and conservation community leaders is as strong as ever.

Sincerely,

Carl Bendorf
Iowa Young Birders
