Take NPSOT-Wilco’s March 2022 Survey

** ARCHIVED POST – LINKS AND IMAGES MAY NOT WORK**

— by Beth Erwin

Please share your ideas in our short 7-question chapter survey. Not a NPSOT or Williamson County Chapter member? That’s ok!  We value input from members and non-members alike.  Your responses will help line up interesting speakers and plan field trips in the coming year.

From Randy: Thank you, NPSOT-Wilco Chapter

** ARCHIVED POST – LINKS AND IMAGES MAY NOT WORK**

— by Randy Pensabene

I want to express my gratitude to everyone for your support throughout my two years as your NPSOT-Williamson County chapter president. I had a strong board, a solid membership base, and a great NPSOT state office that helps all the chapters function more efficiently and cohesively.

Over these past two years, we implemented significant changes in our operations. We found new avenues to reach more people and increase our membership. Our board met many new “opportunities” with enthusiasm and innovation.

The NPSOT-Williamson County chapter is blessed with so many who generously contribute their time and talents. Our elected and appointed board members and our chapter members do so much, often behind the scenes, to ensure our chapter runs smoothly and remains vibrant.

I am enthusiastic about our chapter’s future with our new president Beth Erwin and the new board. I know the team will bring many exciting and fresh ideas to promoting native plant use and conservation.

Serving as your president has been challenging, interesting, a whole lot of fun, and very rewarding.

Thank you all, you’re the best!
Randy Pensabene
Past-President, NPSOT-Williamson County
