ABOUT OUR BOARD

Willets, Oliver Slater

Lake County Audubon Society is guided by a board of dedicated volunteers who bring a wide range of experience, knowledge, and passion for conservation. Their leadership ensures that our programs remain strong, our advocacy effective, and our mission rooted in the needs of both people and wildlife. By lending their time and diverse perspectives, these volunteer leaders help connect our community with birds and the natural world in Lake County.
