Dean Susan Henry of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and

of this committee is to advise individuals involved with Cornell's
Sugar Maple Program on key issues and needs in the maple industry
related to research and extension, to help identify potential roles
for Cornell in assisting producers with those needs, to convey back
to producers progress in the Cornell program, and to serve as an advocate
with external groups for resources to help support these programs.
