Cathy has served as Chair for the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) Ciconiiformes and Phoenicopteriformes Taxon Advisory Group (TAG) since 1992. The TAG focuses on improved husbandry, cooperative management, research and conservation of species under its umbrella, including the Ardeidae. An important function of the group serves as a link between in situ and ex situ workers. Additionally Cathy is the European studbook keeper for Marabou Storks Leptoptilos crumeniferus and the wreathed hornbills Rhyticeros plicatus and R. undulatus, and the EEP Coordinator for the Oriental white stork Ciconia boyciana. She serves in some other TAGs and EEP committees and is in several IUCN-SSC specialist groups, but continues to have a particular fondness for all things waterbird.
