Notes

This information has been taken directly from the NABAWebsite:

The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) is, by far, the largest group of people in North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico) interested in butterflies. We are a membership-based not-for-profit organization working to increase public enjoyment and conservation of butterflies. 

We are working to save butterfly species throughout North America (recent grants have helped the endangered Schaus' Swallowtail in Florida and contributed to developing a long term survival plan for Monarchs) and developing educational programs about butterflies for schools and park rangers and naturalists. NABA has convinced the U.S. Army to conduct further studies before implementing a plan that would destroy the last known colony of Regal Fritillaries east of the Mississippi River. 

Our publications are changing the way people view butterflies, teaching them how to find butterflies, how to identify them, how to create successful butterfly gardens, and how to photograph them. Your involvement with butterflies will help to bring beauty and satisfaction to your life. 

Purpose
The North American Butterfly Association, Inc. (NABA), a non-profit organization, was formed in 1992. NABA's mission is to increase public enjoyment and conservation of butterflies. NABA focuses on the joys of non-consumptive, recreational butterflying including listing, gardening, observation, photography, rearing and conservation. Membership in NABA is open to all those who share our purpose. 

The present officers are President: Jeffrey Glassberg; Vice-President: Ann Swengel; Secretary/Treasurer: Jane V. Scott; Directors: Brian Cassie, Fred Heath, Paul Opler, Steven Prchal, Robert Robbins, Jim Springer, Patricia Sutton, Guy Tudor and the above listed officers.
