The National Capital Region Organics Task Force – co-chaired by ILSR – is hosting its next meeting on November 16, 2012, from 10a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Since hearing from model Master Composter programs at the last Task Force meeting on September 24, the group has developed a subcommittee (i.e. Master Composter Committee) to champion the development of a National Capital Region Master Composter training program. The Master Composter Committee will report on its latest positive developments as one of the November 16 meeting agenda items.
