The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the important listings of endangered plant species, the contacts with governmental agencies such as BLM, National Parks and private landowners to protect endangered spp. Organizing volunteers for weed eradication is a CRUCIAL part of the cnps, keep it going and increase if possible.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Please increase the publicity on dangers from invasives, including the wildfire issues. If we had more publicity about the vulnerability of broom and pampas to fire, perhaps folks would pay more attention.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Besides the conference, the newsletter is great. I am between chapters, geographically, so need to carefully choose what trips and events to attend.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
excellent
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Buy advertising to reduce invasive plants by informing folks of the dangers.
Ways to make it better...
The public transportation in Sacramento had been better, safety around the convention center at night was an issue, was unable to attend any evening sessions. Maybe move the keynote speaker to a daytime slot instead next time.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
many, no time no to enumerate...you know what they are
One thing I'd also say is that...
I'm looking to get more involved, but both chapters (N and S) are pretty far away. Will try to keep informed on activities and attend when possible. Ever thought of a chapter in Lodi? I know folks connected with the Lodi Lake Park who might be interested. What is involved in starting a new chapter?
