The arrangement established was that FBMG would set up a unique and completely separate bank account which would only have deposits associated with the International Conference. The agreement was such that once all attendees had registered and paid that FBMG would then pay the balance in the separate bank account to the Texas Master Gardeners. The bank account was established in March 2025 and closed in December 2025 with the entire balance in the account wired to Texas Master Gardeners in December 2025.
