The NC Bird Records Committee is looking to recruit 3 members for the 2026-2028 BRC Co-Hort.

For the qualifications to serve, see the list from the NCBRC By-Laws, below:
1. COMMITTEE COMPOSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS: Each Records Committee shall include a voting Chair and either six or eight voting members for a total of either seven or nine voting members. At his or her discretion, The Chair may maintain up to two non-voting Advisory seats on the Committee.
