At board meetings in September and October our Board of Directors approved new goals for 2020 focused on helping educate people about the Chihuahuan Desert.
After you have looked over our top priorities please contact us to let us know how you would like to be involved. Membership in CDEC is free and we are a volunteer organization. Everyone volunteering helps in big and small ways. We need help with social media, blogging, fund raising and someone with the passion to help educate youth to coordinate our Nature Club.
Our big three goals are (1) Education and Outreach, (2) Volunteerism, and (3) the Chihuahuan Desert Fiesta. To help us accomplish these goals the following individuals have agreed to help.
