The Board of the Minnesota Chapter set out to bring new energy and focus to the Chapter in 2011-2012. We set three major goals for the year and consistently focused on advancing each. Everyone on the Board focused on working on one of the goals, and collaborated with other Board members on the other goals as needed. It was a great year. Sami Nichols, 2011-2012 Vice-president, and Kelly Nail, Secretary, led the development of a poster that highlights our accomplishments in 2011-2012.
This poster was one of 15+ chapter posters featured at the North American Congress for Conservation Biology. Our goals and accomplishments are below. Click on the thumbnail to view the full poster.
Please send us suggestions and feedback on how we are doing as a Chapter and how we can better serve the conservation science community this year.
And join us this year at one one of our activities to help make 2012-2013 a great year!
