The Winter Board Meeting of the Connecticut Chapter was hosted at March Hall, Yale University by the Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry. Special gratitude to Leila Pinchot for making the arrangements.
We had a quorum with all Directors present. In attendance were: Michael McGee, Bill Adamsen, Gayle Kida, John Anderson, David Bingham, Robert Gregg, Philip Arnold, Jim Gage, Ellery Sinclair and Garret Smith. Special guests included Leila Pinchot, our New England Regional Science Coordinator, and Nancy Cebik.
The full draft minutes are located in the documents repository here and will be considered for approval at the next meeting. There were some significant reports and votes that should interest State Chapter members. All votes were unanimous.
- Expense the grants made to Land Trusts for Fencing (with Norcross Foundation Approval).
- Passed a budget
- Approved last year's finacial statement
- Approved the seed distribution plan
- Reviewed the pollination list
- Confirmed calendar and work party days
I thought it was a friendly and collegial meeting, yet we accomplished a phenomenol amount of work. I extend my deepest thanks to all the Directors for attending, and for the hard work put into accomplishing what we've accomplished to date, and setting of the vision for tommorrow.
