The Trustees of the American Orchid Society and its Standing Committees meet twice each year in the Spring and Fall.
The health and safety of our Members Meeting attendees is our number one priority. After careful consideration, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic’s current trajectory, we’ve made the decision to transition the 2020 Fall Members Meeting to a fully virtual event to be held on October 24th, 2020.
October 23 - 24, 2020
We recognize many members of our community may be reluctant or unable to travel due to institutional mandates and other external factors and this year’s virtual event ensures that you won’t miss out. The event agenda is included below:
AOS Committee Meetings will be held at various times prior to the Members Meeting. If you'd like to attend one or more of these, kindly contact the Committee directly for details (https://www.aos.org/about-us/committees.aspx) or the AOS Headquarters at TheAOS@aos.org.
Active AOS members will also receive an email notification and coordinates to attend the Meeting of the Members, aka Virtual Town Hall. Keep an eye out for it! There will be no charge to attend this event.
