Abstract
The American Phytopathological Society, through its members, committees, and Council, has offered unique and valued leadership to the nation and world for almost three-quarters of a century. This leadership has caused the resolution of key issues, both scientific and professional, in biology, agriculture, and forestry. The resolution of these issues has resulted in the development, dispersion, and implementation of new plant protection technologies, which in turn have assured an adequate supply of food and fiber for the people of the world. The Society has, thus, played a major role in successfully meeting the challenges of the agricultural revolution of the past 100 years. Without great effort I could cite chapter and verse in support of these contentions-and I am tempted to do so. My purpose, however, is not to bring credit to the Society for meeting the challenges of the past, no matter how much deserved, but rather to establish the fact that the Society and its leadership have the demonstrated capability and credibility to play an even more important role in resolving the critical issues facing the science and profession now and in the coming decades. -
