North American Congress for Conservation Biology (NACCB) - The biennial NACCB represents an important facet of SCBNA's work to foster communication among conservation scientists and practitioners in North America. The goal of NACCB is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing new research, developments and strategies that will inform policy changes and conservation practices to address today's conservation challenges. NACCB 2026 will be held July 12-16, 2026 in Milwaukee, WI and will be jointly hosted with the Society for Ecological Restoration (and the Society for Ecological Restoration's Midwest Great Lakes Chapter). Multiple workshops, short courses, interactive sessions, symposia and contributed oral, speed and poster presentations are planned for the Congress, along with several opportunities for professional development, networking, and collaboration. A majority of planning was carried out for the Congress in 2025, and upwards of 700 attendees are expected to attend from both host organizations. 0 67469 Education; Policy; Community, Access, Reach, and Engagement; and Student & Chapters Services - Members (~1200) benefit from SCBNA guidance and initiatives including trainings, guidance/collaboration on policy statements, and other opportunities to strengthen the conservation science professional community at the local, national and continental levels. Activities included winter, spring summer, and fall workshops alongside professional development webinars and a mini virtual conference (Education Forum) in late summer. All events and programs were well-attended (>1400 registrations) and were made available on the organization's website for future viewing. Moreover, in preparation for NACCB 2026, the organization continued to build on their support of student-led Chapters across the region (including assisting with the incorporation and reincorporation of five Chapters) and developed initiatives to maximize conference accessibility for attendees. Strategic partnerships and collaborations were also developed with other conservation organizations as part of the events and programs outlined above. 0 31641 Membership and Development Services - SCBNA provides a strong collective voice for the science and practice of conservation. SCBNA maintains a news blog and regular newsletter, and supports members' conservation science efforts by providing resources, events, and other opportunities to strengthen the conservation science professional community at the local, national and continental levels. SCBNA also shares opportunities and resources with its membership via its social media channels. In addition to past and current newsletters and the news blog, the SCBNA website is home to several resources related to the programs detailed in 4a and 4b above, and was updated to facilitate viewing and use by members. 0 31641 130751 Bernardo Traversari Managing Director 40 62892 16690 0 Anderson Tate President 3 0 0 0 Rebecca Hufft Past-President 2 0 0 0 Katherine Heineman Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Anna Weber Diversity Officer 2 0 0 0 Lauren Jonaitis Vice President of Policy, Secretary 2 0 0 0 Stephanie Clements Vice President of Education 1.00 0 0 0 Jumanah Khan Student Representative 1 0 0 0 Rebecca Tate Chapters Representative 1 0 0 0 Zahra Nanji Member at Large 1 0 0 0 Zachary Moore Member at Large 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 WI Katherine Heineman 429 E 10th Ave Escondido CA 92025 4027506075 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 68316 102000 117370 139968 37342 464996 0 158174 612 273635 1029 433450 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68316 260174 117982 413603 38371 898446 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 898446 359 1063 3215 2092 6965 13694 0 0 0 0 0 0 359 1063 3215 2092 6965 13694 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68675 261237 121197 415695 45336 912140 0.98499 0.99328 0.01501 0.00672 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Description;Amount^Reimbursements from the Society for Ecological Restoration for NACCR '26;17401|Account reconciliation amount from Gusto HR platform;3|Refund from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue;230|Board Member Refund for Board Retreat;290|Refund from AirBnB;492|Refund from Labyrinth Inc;75^Total;18491^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Honorarium paid to the South Dakota Discovery Center for virtual workshop planning and implementation.
