So, how do CMS meetings, field trips, culinary events, mushroom displays, and educational activities get planned? The majority of them are organized by the CMS Board of Directors. The CMS Board meets monthly (on the 1st Thursday), year-round except for July. We discuss upcoming activities, vote on expenditures, and make assignments on action items so that tasks will get accomplished. Here you will find who is on the Board and the meeting minutes from the Board meetings.
If you would like to attend a CMS Board Meeting or get involved with the planning of any upcoming events, please send an email to president@cascademyco.org. You will find additional emails on the CMS contact page.
