The Fine Print

The Midlands Nature and Bird Alliance (MNBA) exists for the purposes of supporting wildlife conservation with an emphasis on birds and habitat suitable for birds. MNBA is a member led organization and depends on members to uphold and share our values within the community.

Individuals may affiliate with MNBA by becoming an Associate or Member.

• Invitation to outings (field trips, service projects, etc)

• Other privileges that may be added with approval from the MNBA Board

Full Memberships can be renewed annually (all memberships expire on December 31 of each year and can be subsequently renewed for the next calendar year). To become a Full Member during the calendar year requires full payment of annual dues. 

Should you choose to allow your Membership to lapse, you will automatically be retained as an Associate until you request your name be removed or the MNBA Board performs a purge of the membership roll. You may reinstate your Member status by remitting the annual dues.

Associate and Membership may be revoked by a simple majority vote of the MNBA Board with cause, as determined at the discretion of the MNBA Board. Any event or meeting may be designated as a "Member Only Event".

Affiliation with MNBA as an Associate or Member does not automatically enroll you as a member of Audubon South Carolina or the National Audubon Society nor does it entitle you to any benefits of those organizations (magazine subscription, etc).
