Board Members 2003-2005

Prior to the formation of Plant Canada, the discipline of Plant Science or Plant Biology in Canada was fragmented into many small societies, each of which often met separately. In 1997, the Presidents of the CSPP and the CBA began discussing the possibility of merging the two societies. A committee to explore this idea was struck and was headed by Dr. Iain Taylor (UBC); this committee met several times during the next three years. It was soon established that a federation of existing societies was more agreeable than a merger and, at the 2000 joint meeting of the CBA and the CSPP, the Constitution and By-laws for the new federation were ratified in the business meetings of both societies. Since that time, we have been pleased to welcome four other societies as continuing members.
