Speaker: Brian Spitler Topic: Japanese Orchids and Japanese Grand Prix
Join us as we welcome our friend Brian, an AOS judge and long time awarded orchid grower from Cincinnati. Brian has been growing orchids for 25+ years. He is experienced in growing orchids in diverse climates including California’s hot dry deserts and coastal climate as well as the Midwest. His travels in locations such as Sweden, Brazil, Costa Rica, Japan, and Colombia allowed him to understand orchid growth in native conditions. As an American Orchid Society judge, he has visited many regional and international shows. He holds a Computer Science degree and works in the IT industry. Having international orchid grower friends and visiting many growing facilities, he has developed knowledge of both the commercial and hobbyist market. Brian will be presenting a talk on Japanese orchids along with his trip to the Tokyo Grand Prix, one of the largest orchid shows in the world.

We need volunteers for all positions, except treasurer which Michele Little has agreed to take– All current officers are stepping back. We need new faces in each office- We have great folks that can easily step in and help run this organization, giving new ideas and new energy. Each current officer will continue to help with training and mentorship. We need: President, Vice President, Secretary, Newsletter Editor, Show Chair, and Social Media Chair. Let us know what position you are interested in holding!
