Board of Directors

At Camp Monarch, our Board of Directors provides the leadership and guidance necessary to achieve our mission of restoring critical habitats for Monarch butterflies and other wildlife. As a new nonprofit, we are proud to have a founding board of three dedicated individuals who bring passion, vision, and a deep commitment to conservation.

Alan Pautsch - Founder and President

Scott Welzbacher - Founder and Secretary

Chris Melnick - Founder and Treasurer

Ayush Bhattasali - Outreach and Engagement

Join Our Board

We are actively seeking to expand our board with additional members who bring expertise and experience in areas that will help us accomplish our Phase Two goals. Whether you have a background in environmental science, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, or digital engagement, your skills can play a crucial role in advancing our mission.

If you are passionate about habitat restoration and are interested in joining a dedicated team working toward meaningful change, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can build a brighter future for Monarchs and the ecosystems that depend on them.

We have submitted the application, and once our 501(c)(3) status is approved, we’ll post on VolunteerMatch to officially recruit board members.  Until then, if you have any questions, suggestions, or advice, please feel free to Contact Us.
