Composter Association

In 2010, master composters formed an association of volunteers whose purpose is to provide a structure for the support and maintenance of the Master Composter education program and its graduates. The name of the organization is Bernco Master Composter Association. At the meeting, we approved bylaws and elected a board of directors. In October 20, 2011, we were granted 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. We are a nonprofit corporation and donations to the association are tax-deductible.

​

Current board members are:

• John Zarola, President

• Wynette Richards, Vice President

• Pat Barger, Secretary and Immediate Past President

• Jana Hazelbaker, Treasurer

• Bill Bailey

• Rye Bailey

• Rod Reay

• Michael Reed

• Les Storhaug

• Yini Wang

 

We are affiliated with the Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Service and New Mexico State University College of Agriculture.
