Roundtable Discussions

What, where, when

Topics for board review/reevaluation, recommendation.
All

We envision one topic per board meeting. We
can make a list and schedule:

Coordination with other ARS chapters or Plant Societies

Display Garden

Educational Outreach

Field Trips

Mass Hort Relationship

Membership (recruitment and involvement)

Newsletter

Others?

The point is to thoroughly know why we do what we do, and
decide to continue as is or to try some changes or enhancements. Every
aspect should be explored at one time or another. This list is
alphabetical, not according to any perceived priority.

Other Business

Please let us know so it can become a part of the agenda.
Surprises are acceptable, but not preferable. This is a draft since we
still do not know where the meeting will take place. Summer is sooo
relaxed!
