One of the best parts of belonging to NAFEX is meeting others with similar
interests. In the past, that usually meant corresponding with them, and
perhaps meeting them in person if you were able to attend NAFEX1s annual
meetings.
Now there are regional NAFEX groups that make it easier for members to get
together with fellow fruit explorers. Additionally, there are allied groups
that aren1t technically part of NAFEX, but which are sufficiently similar in
goals that many NAFEXers are members of both. Herewith is a list of
regional NAFEX groups plus groups similar to, but not directly allied with
NAFEX,
