Dear NAPPN members:

The North American Plant Phenotyping Network (NAPPN) is an association of scientists, researchers, and educators in the rapidly evolving area of plant phenomics, formed as a regional partner of the International Plant Phenotyping Network (IPPN<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__plant-2Dphenotyping.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=MXeVotDn-TxMVs8GtvAmsw&m=fcPZ4Kxn6alil6NwvwygiMWZzbVFg1hrmQb9HYFUJgs&s=wkRqJh_ThL0tLFCTKI7H7blNqZd0yo4cBiziDBUAW3s&e=>). We invite all individuals who share involvement and interest in plant phenomics from all ranks and levels of training, stature, and expertise to become active members of NAPPN.

Based on community surveys conducted during the past several years, the NAPPN has decided to move to a paid membership model. In order to do this, we need at least 20% of the membership to vote and approval of at least ¾ of the votes cast. This will support development of our community, network website, maintenance of our non-profit status, and enable the membership to provide financial support to strategic initiatives. Note that the NAPPN mailing list will continue to be FREE!



Based on information gathered from our community surveys, the inaugural annual dues for NAPPN membership are:

            $100 for professionals

$ 75 postdoctoral/ K-12 educator or community college educator/ retired

            $ 40 student (graduate or undergraduate)



In order to cast your vote please go to https://iastate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6XqoKc6osNO7p7U. This will take less than 10 seconds!!
