Read notes and background information from the Development and Business Plan workshop that was held in April 2011.

Approximately 20 board and cabinet members serving on the development cabinet with The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) met on April 16, 2011, during TACF's spring board of directors meeting in Abington, VA. The purpose of the workshop was to gather ideas and input for the development of a strategic business plan. This workshop represents a preliminary step towards gathering information to help TACF develop a long-term restoration plan for the American chestnut. A functional restoration plan embraced by TACF's members and partners is critical to the long-term success of the organization.

The document below provides an overview of the discussions held at the meeting for the purpose of allowing TACF members, partners and other interested parties the opportunity to provide additional input. We invite comments on this document. Please submit commits to Betsy Gamber at TACF's Asheville offices:
