NJBA President's Message February/March 2012
Fellow Beekeepers- I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the
members of NJBA, and in particular those executive Board
members with whom I have worked very closely over the past
two years. Being President of NJBA has been an educational
opportunity and a challenge and I am proud of the accomplishments both at the
state and branch levels.
The work is far from complete, but we are a far more energized and organized
community than ever before in our century of existence. NJBA is no
longer simply a responsive body, but rather a proactive organization looking towards
the future for beekeeping and engaging those members of society that will
insure beekeeping will thrive as the 21st century unfolds. From gathering and disseminating
information that makes all beekeepers better, to actively promoting
beekeeping to local governing bodies to insure the legality of beekeeping-our
work has just begun!
NJBA is quickly becoming a powerful organization of 1000 family memberships
which easily represents over 2500 people throughout our great state.
In closing, I simply want to thank all of the members as my presidency
ends, welcome in the new executive board and encourage all of you to volunteer at
the branch level and contribute to a millennium old tradition-Beekeeping
Seth Belson, NJBA President
