Message From John Flicker, Audubon CEO

Dear Audubon Family:

In the days ahead, there will be much uncertainty and concern as the war in Iraq unfolds. Please take time for yourself and your family, when needed, and time to talk with your friends and fellow employees about your thoughts and feelings.

Remember, too, that what you do at Audubon is important. People turn to nature in times of difficulty for comfort and healing. America is a beautiful place and our work to ensure that we may all enjoy that beauty is essential and admirable.

Yesterday, for the second time in two years, the Senate voted against opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. Success on this issue is a tribute to the dedication of the entire Audubon Family at the local, state and national levels.

Audubon’s mission is one of hopefulness. “Protecting Our Great Natural Heritage” is at the heart and soul of what we do.

Thank you for all you do each and every day to help us realize that mission.

John Flicker
