On the last Friday of every month at 2 PM EST, we hold a zoom meeting open to chapter members and non-members alike. Meeting topics may be specific or be a casual Q & A. Anyone working in herbaria is welcome to attend. All meetings are recorded and will be posted on this site, along with upcoming topics.
2026 - 2027: We are continuing to have herbaria give presentations about their collections and research. Please contact us if you'd like to participate!
