Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council
Description
SE-EPPC Becomes Established
The Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council (SE-EPPC) was formally established on March 20, 1999 at the first annal Southeast Exotic Pest Council Symposium hosted by the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plant Council in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Council was officially formed by a motion from the floor that was approved by those attending the SE-EPPC roundtable discussion following the final session of the symposium.
Immediately following the TN-EPPC business meeting, the first SE-EPPC organizational meeting convened, approved organizational bylaws, and elected a provisional Board of Directors and Officers. The Board represents Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia. Florida was given ex-officio position on the Board with opportunity for full participation open to future consideration. Other southeastern states not represented at this meeting will hopefully join and become Council members in the near future.
Organization Structure
SE-EPPC is established as an umbrella organization under which there are subunits. The proposed subunits consist of state chapters, affiliates, and individuals. The state chapter is the most functional unit with a board of directors to initiate within each state's respective political boundaries. An affiliate occurs in the absence of a state chapter where activity on this issue is based in an existing organization; i.e., an invasive exotic pest plant committee of a state native plant society. In states where there is no organization, individuals are simply members of SE-EPPC.
