SAS's membership consists of National Audubon Society members living in the following counties of NE Indiana.

Membership in the National Audubon Society and residence in one of those counties can include membership in SAS. With over 500 members, the Sycamore Audubon Society is the largest environmental group in mid-north Indiana.

The chapter is named for a race of the Yellow-throated Warbler (Dendroica dominica) which nests in sycamore trees along Indiana's waterways, and is thus called the Sycamore Warbler.
