Greetings, all PBS members,

The PBS board met on Sunday and is excited to announce the appointment
of several board members. For the first time I recall, we have more
volunteer applicants than positions available. Some time ago the board
voted to increase the number of board members from 9 to 11. Although
we've had 8-9 in the past, we decided to fill several positions. We
can't say enough for the great response from PBS members who
volunteered and the qualifications listed. It was a terrific turnout!

The positions of secretary and vice president were filled by Emil
Friend (California), as secretary, and Bridget Wosczyna (currently
Bulb Exchange
Director) as vice president. Two other positions for members-at-large
have also been filled: Kathleen Sayce from Washington state, and
Kristen Henty from New Zealand.

In an effort to increase the geographical diversity and range of
experience such as we have with PBS members, we are, for the first
time, welcoming a southern hemisphere member. The time zone challenge
has been met (who knew how significant that could be for countries
down south) and we are excited to have such a range of board members
with widely diverse gardening education and experience, and as all members are - crazy about bulbs!

Please join me in welcoming the new board members. We will in the
coming months include brief biographical sketches of each new board
member so that you can become acquainted with their various interests and experience.
These
will appear in the Bulb Garden so that all members can read them.

Best regards,

Robin Hansen, President

For the PBS Board
