PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL


Exclusive Bird Walks with President's Council membership.

The task of the President’s Council is to raise funds necessary for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy to remain self-sufficient on endowment income.

President's Council members are business owners, industry executives, and individuals with civic leadership and strong community connections. These generous donors commit a minimum of $1,000 annually to the Conservancy's Operating Endowment at Rancho Santa Fe Foundation or The San Diego Foundation. They meet three times annually at the homes of its members for presentations on wetland ecology topics.

President's Council members also enjoy two private tours of the lagoon—spring native wildflowers and winter migrating birds. Membership in President's Council is by invitation of another council member or a director of the Conservancy. If you are interested in joining or know others who may be interested, please contact us for more information.
