The State Board is comprised of members from the chapters. The Michigan Botanical Society Constitution determines the structure and responsibilities of the officers.
The State Board Meets several times a year and reviews budgets, policies and activities. It is also a forum for discussion on Chapter matters.
State Board Meetings are archived online here. This is an ongoing project to centralize and archive state board minutes.
