Greetings,
I'd like to welcome and encourage all of you to attend the Pennsylvania Prescribed Fire Council Annual Meeting, held at the Wildwood Conference Center in Harrisburg on February 6-7, 2012. The intent of the meeting this year is to ask our members to help answer some of the questions that have come up in the past year dealing with the Council. The Council is in its 6th year, and we want feedback from the membership on how we're doing and where we're going.
First on the agenda, there is a vacancy on the executive committee and nominations are being requested for Vice Chair. The nominations will be accepted from now up until the first break on the first day of the Annual Meeting. All nominations should be sent to Todd Breininger, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . All members in good standing are eligible to be considered for the position. The potential candidate must be aware of and agree to the nomination.
Secondly, we are trying something new this year in that, instead of bringing speakers in, we want to hear from you, the members, on specific topics. There will be 8 roundtable sessions on specific subjects that have come up in the past year. Please come ready to participate with ideas and suggestions for the topics listed below
