The SCO-SOC is an organization of Canada's ornithological community.

We administer awards, produce two publications, and provide interconnection with other professional ornithological societies.

OFFICERS

The SCO-SOC executive serves to provide for the best interests of the Society and Canadian ornithologists. Members are encouraged to play an active role in their Society, such as nominating candidates for officer elections (self-nominations encouraged). See the current list of officers.

SCO-SOC BUSINESS

The financial affairs of the Society are open to the public record. You can access these records by visiting the SCO business page.

SCO-SOC OPERATIONS

The SCO-SOC operates by the guidance of formal bylaws and a constitution. In September of 2008, these documents were edited and expanded to reflect current practice. In general, the revised versions are to be used by Officers and Councillors in conducting day-to-day business. The entire "working document" can be accessed here.
The working document is rather lengthy, so the following sections can be accessed separately to reduce bandwidth:

CONSERVATION

SCO-SOC members are often called upon to apply their scientific expertise to broader issues. Requests for information on avian conservation issues are commonly made; the SCO-SOC has established a committee to fulfill these requests. For further information, you can consult the mandate of the Conservation Committee. To raise an issue with the committee, contact the committee chair by email.
