Video and Photos from July 11’s Annual Chapter Meeting

President Nancy Copperman announced the officers who will hold elected positions for 2024-2025 and also presented NPSOT pins to folks celebrating milestone years of membership in the Society. If you reached a milestone year and were not able to attend the meeting, your pin will be delivered to you another way. (The meeting’s business slides are here.)

The evening ended with a presentation by Randy Pensabene and Gary Bowers about a new chapter project — the Williamson County native plant database! See the meeting’s YouTube video to learn more. (The project discussion starts at 21:34 minutes in.)
