We, the SCB Chapters Committee, designed these fora to facilitate communication among the Chapters Committee and chapters around the world. We hope you will use the Finance Forum to discuss ideas and pose questions around fundraising for your chapter activities and other financial issues. The Policy Forum is designed for a space to discuss Chapter policy work and to announce events and news items relevant to conservation policy. We will also provide relevant information from the new SCB Chapters blog, where you'll also be able to find the SCB Chapters Newsletter. Be sure to check it out!

We hope you find these fora informative and helpful! Please direct any comments or questions to Adam Zeilinger, arzeilinger@gmail.com.
