2010 State Conference Sponsors, Vendors and Presentations

The 2010 State Conference was held in Kerrville, Texas on March 12th and 13th. We had a very exciting conference this year and received many comments about the quality and topics of the presentations. We had approximately 100 people in attendance. We want to thank the many volunteers from the master gardener and master naturalist organizations for their assistance.

Friday at noon we held our annual membership meeting and elected new board members for 2010. You can find out who they are and reach them via the "Contact Us" tab at the left side of the page. Attached below are the minutes for that meeting.
