MPWG Member e-Directory

Our membership includes a fascinating assortment of people!  Problem is,
most of you don't know it.

In order to facilitate better communication amongst members, we are
devising a  searchable electronic membership directory.  This way, people
with similar interests or backgrounds can find and connect with each other
directly.

Here's the cool part - you will be able to search on various fields - for
example, if you want to find out which members live in California, you
will be able to search on that.  For an example of what it might look
like, see this link <http://www.ser.org/work.php?pg=restorationexpertise>.
Click on "search the directory."

If you are interested in being in this directory, please fill in the
following information and send it to <plant at plantconservation.org>.   We
ask that you please provide at least your name and some form of contact
information (i.e. e-mail, phone number, or address).  Any other
information you wish to include is optional; you may leave the space blank
if you wish.   Remember, the more information you include, the more useful
the directory will be.

The power of the directory is in your hands.  The more responses we get,
the more robust the directory.  Stay tuned for an update in the near
future to announce the directory's activation!
