• raise awareness about the threat posed by invasive exotic pest plants to native plant communities in the Southeast.
• facilitate communication, dissemination, and the exchange of information concerning research, management and control of invasive exotic pest plants.
• provide a forum for all interested parties to participate in meetings, workshops, and annual symposia as a regional organization and through its state chapters.
