For the members and supporters of Mass Audubon

a n n ua l r e port 2013 Dear Members and Friends, This year we have had the privilege of stepping forward to lead Mass Audubon Our People 2-3 into the future as its new President and Board Chair. In keeping with Future Leaders Mass Audubon’s enduring commitment to results-driven collaboration, the Extraordinary Volunteers leadership transition has gone smoothly. For this we express our gratitude Enviro Mentors to our Board, staff, members, supporters, and friends, as well as former President Laura Johnson and previous Board Chair Jonathan Panek, who served as patient mentors and trusted sounding boards.

One of the themes of our first year on the job has been “Fresh Eyes.” Inspired Our Places 4-5 by the comprehensive orientation that Henry received into the multifaceted A Place for Everyone work of Mass Audubon during his first five months as President, he presented A Place for Growth a “Fresh Eyes Report” to the Board in June. Two of his observations are A Place for Wilderness particularly gratifying and reassuring. The first is that Mass Audubon is in fundamentally sound condition; we have been and remain a vibrant, dynamic, and well-run organization—something you’ll see reflected in the stories about Our People, Our Places, and Our Progress in the pages of this Annual Report. The second is that Mass Audubon’s three-part mission of Conservation, Our Progress 6-7 Education, and Advocacy remains entirely appropriate and uniquely positions Protecting Through Partnership us to address the challenges and opportunities that Massachusetts faces in the Shaping the Future 21st century. Henry and the Board also endorsed an energetic effort to “pivot Connecting Through Technology out,” engaging even more people in our mission, successes, and aspirations for the future, and addressing the very real impacts of climate change. Land Protection Summary 8-9 Taking the helm of Mass Audubon has been an exhilarating and humbling Meeting the Challenge experience. We are so profoundly grateful to all of you for the myriad ways of Climate Change 10 you support this organization, from providing financial support, to volunteering thousands of hours at our sanctuaries across the Commonwealth, to simply Treasurer’s Report 11 being enthusiastic about the need to protect our natural heritage.

You are the heart and soul of Mass Audubon, and we are committed to working Supporters 12-17 tirelessly to meet your expectations.
