The Herb Association of Texas

The Board of Directors of HAT has come to a very difficult decision. After much discussion about the future of The Herb Association of Texas, the Board of Directors has decided to close the Association.

The decision does not come lightly. Over the past several years, we, the Board, have tried to rejuvenate HAT and make it more relevant to our membership to keep the Association vibrant and alive. Unfortunately, we have not been able to do so.

Membership has fallen over the years, as has happened to many organizations and associations. The members we do have, we seem unable to connect with in a meaningful way. Times change, as do people's needs, involvement and time constraints.

The same few people have been running this Association for the past, at least, 5 years. This is not only a burden on those dedicated folks, it's not a healthy way to run an Association like HAT. We have needed new blood for ideas, projects and all the various tasks that must be done to keep an Association vital to its membership and have been unable to achieve that goal.

We thank each and everyone of you for supporting HAT through the years and as new members. We hope you will continue in your love and study of herbs.

Respectfully Yours,
Board of Directors
Herb Association of Texas
