Hi all,

I just modified the google doc with this alternative mission
statement:

"The <insert name here> unites herbaria in northeastern North America

to provide online access to specimen data housed in member

institutions, with particular emphasis on collections from the
region."

I probably shouldn't have done this right away, but, anyway, see what
you think. It's simplified in some ways, but I think it keeps the
same meaning.

I enjoyed the meting in Amherst -- thanks much Karen! Best,

Michael

I think Michaels shortened statement is clear and to the point.
