In light of current events and our inability to meet in person, the Allegheny Society of American Foresters will host our Annual Meeting “virtually on Zoom” on the evening of Wednesday, March 10, 2021, beginning at 6:30 pm. This will serve as our annual business meeting, with the intended audience being our entire Allegheny SAF membership, similar to the meetings that we typically hold on Friday mornings during our normal annual Winter Meetings. This will also be our opportunity to present awards, recognitions, and other items. Please save the date and plan to attend if you are able.
