To accomplish this mission, the objectives of the BSA are to: sustain and provide improved formal and informal education about plants; encourage basic plant research; provide expertise, direction, and position statements concerning plants and ecosystems; and foster communication within the professional botanical community, and between botanists and the rest of humankind through publications, meetings, and commi�ees.

It will not exist, however, without active engagement by all responsible for the nation’s herbaria. The goal of the WDCO12 commi�tee is to facilitate development of such a website, nominate your favorite herbarium website for a prize and tell us about your concerns.
