We know we have a lot of new members out there who might be asking, “What is a Professional Section and what are they meeting about?” The APGA Professional Sections are groups of individuals with similar garden types, jobs, skills or interests. The Professional Sections provide an opportunity for these individuals to network, share ideas, problem solve and discuss emerging trends. The Professional Section Meetings at the APGA Annual Conference allow time for section members to meet during this busy event and plan for the upcoming year.
What can you expect at one of these meetings? A small amount of business will happen, as this year the leadership may be changing in various sections. A lot of networking, educational opportunities and informative discussions will be taking place. You are welcome to join one or more Professional Sections. If you are not a member of a section yet, feel free to drop into a section meeting to see what they are all about and talk to people who are involved. The Professional Sections offer Public Garden Staff and Volunteers an outstanding opportunity to get MORE involved in APGA and to meet their fellow Public Garden Professionals.
Meetings will be held on Wednesday, June 22nd, Thursday, June 23rd, and Friday, June 24th. Check out the APGA website to see a list of the APGA Professional Sections and their meeting times during the conference.
