[PCA] PCA: Bimonthly Meeting Agenda for Sept. 9, 2009 (Arlington, VA)

[Olivia Kwong]

Anyone that is interested is invited to come to the meeting.  We will 
probably be discussing PCA's input into the upcoming workshops in Chicago 
about the Botanical Capacity Assessment and Global Strategy for Plant 
Conservation (http://www.bgci.org/usa/EVENTS/). This message has been 
cross-posted to all the PCA discussion lists.
