Save the Date - Sunday, June 8th 7:00-8:30pm!
The Chapter Annual meeting will be virtual with the goal of making it accessible to all members.
We will have updates from our Board of Directors and Committee Chairs on the past year and planning for the year ahead. After updates we will have an open forum for members to ask questions or share ideas. We welcome input as this is an opportunity for you to help shape the chapter that belongs to us all!
Following that, we will have a chance for members to talk with each other in break out rooms. Last year we broke out into areas of exploration interest. This year we will break out by States so you can get to know chapter members close by you!
MEMBERS ONLY
***We will send a zoom link to all members closer to the date.

Events and criteria
New England Chapter events take many forms to engage our membership, and unless otherwise stated events are open to members and non-members.
Our programming consist of;
Meet and Greets / Networking Socials
Speaker Series (in person and online)
Exploring our Back Yard - out in the field
Meetings (in person and online)
We welcome ideas and participation. If you are proposing a talk or an event please consider the criteria below which the Programming Committee uses to create talks/events.
We prioritize members as speakers/hosts of events
Content should be new/timely (if not new, an anniversary, relevant to breaking news etc)
The speaker/host cannot have led an event in the last 3 years (to give other members a chance)
We strive to reach across all six New England States, so we especially encourage non Massachusetts proposals
