History

The Home Tissue Culture Listserv was founded about 10 years ago by Carol Stiff.  The goal was to help people communicate with each other, share ideas, compare methods, exchange seeds, plants and cultures, and find sources of supplies needed in hobby tissue culture.  After existing for 10 years, it was decided that a more formal presence was needed to unite hobby tissue culturists all over the world and to aid in finding grant monies for in-person meetings and further training.

Board of Directors and Officers

Please email Carol if you are interested in getting this organized:
htca01@hometissueculture.org
We need a board of directors who will elect the officers and then
we can write the bylaws and file form 1023 for 501(c )(3) tax exempt status.
