The ARS Guidelines for Rose Society Leaders
The "White Book"
This is the American Rose Society's Guidelines for Rose Society Leaders. It was originally produced in 1999 for ARS Affiliate Societies by the Local Society Relations Committee and the Membership-Marketing Department. The original “Guidelines for Rose Society Leaders” was provided at no cost to ARS Chapter and Affiliate Rose Societies. The intent was for this book to be maintained by society presidents, and passed on to subsequent presidents. Additional or replacement notebooks were (and still are) available at cost from ARS Headquarters.
The Guidelines are divided into Sections. Each Section is one complete file, with page numbers. Also, each separate article is a file. You can download the entire section, or any of the files as separate documents.
