News and Events:
RBRN to merge with WPSQ
Date: 21/02/2010
Following the June 2009 Annual General Meeting resolution to merge the Richmond Birdwing Recovery Network Inc (RBRN) with the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland Inc. (WPSQ), a transition committee has been formed to plan, oversee and implement the move by the end of June 2010. Final documentation will be presented to the Office of Fair Trading by the end of July 2010. The transition committee members include Hugh Krenske (chair), Dawn Muir (secretary), Don Sands (RBRN-WPSQ liaison), Greg Siepen and Ian Gynther. Other RBRN members are also heavily involved in the move.

There will be few noticeable changes to the organization and its work. The name will change to the "Richmond Birdwing Conservation Network" (RBCN) in line with the changing focus from recovery to conservation. Membership dues will remain the same at $10.00 and members will not need to join WPSQ. Membership of the new organization does not imply automatic membership of the Wildlife Preservation society of Queensland. This is a separate membership. Pre-paid membership of RBRN for 2010-11 and beyond will automatically be transferred to the new organization unless the network is advised otherwise by the member. All assets currently held by RBRN will be transferred to the new organization.

A new management committee will be elected as soon as possible after July 1, 2010.
