2. Botany 2005 Educational Forum and Workshops
I'd like to draw you attention to the Botany 2005 Educational Forum. If you have the time to come to Austin a few days early, this all day Saturday event is well worth your time. More importantly the Society could use your experience and participation as we move forward into new areas with educational outreach and support. You can view this year's topics and abstracts at: http://www.2005.botanyconference.org/engine/search/index.php?func=AbstractTitle§ion=0&type=education

As long as your planning to be in town on the Saturday for the Educational Forum, we encourage you to take a look at what is happening on Sunday in the Botany 2005 Workshops, or out on the Field Trips. As with the educational Forum, we'd appreciate your support at these events as well. You can view the current offering at:
Workshops - http://www.2005.botanyconference.org/workshops/
Field Trips - http://www.2005.botanyconference.org/fieldtrips/

You can sign-up for these events simply by logging back into the Botany 2005 Conference registrations site and adding the items to your current order. Login at: http://secure.botany.org/secure/engine/login.php?next=registration
