Alabama Divison SAF 2012 Annual Meeting
The 2012 Annual meeting was held at Auburn University's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences building with approximately 70 people attending. Program Chair Keith Cox and his committee had a varied array of speakers that were both entertaining and informative. Local Arrangements Chair Ed Loewenstein did a remarkable job of ensuring that attendees were well fed and comfortable. During the evening Business meeting, Division Chair Walter Cartwright presented a well deserved Hall of Fame Award to Wayne Ford, Tuscaloosa, for his untiring efforts of educating students through the 4-H Forestry and Wildlife Management programs. Wayne's national championship teams included eight different Forestry teams, five Wildlife Habitat teams, as well as eight 4-H Forestry Knowledge Bowl national championship teams.
Our new District 10 Council representative, Dave Lewis, previewed some of the changes affecting the SAF and asked that anyone having questions, comments or suggestions to contact him at or call 850.997.6254. Read the division business meeting minutes here.
