HEN I STEPPED INTO MY role at Audubon in March, I became the first woman to hold the title of president in Audubon’s 116-year history. Two months later I was asked to become its first woman interim CEO. So it feels appropriate that the first issue of magazine published after my arrival is also the inaugural year of the Female Bird Prize in the Audubon Photography Awards. (Turn to page 26 to see the prize-winning photo, which also happened to be taken by a woman photographer.) I am thrilled to become part of the Audubon network and have the chance to work alongside each and every one of you.
