2007 NE Pesticide Safety Education Center Workshop
September 10-12, 2007
Nittany Lion Inn, State College, PA
The Penn State Pesticide Education Program is pleased to announce the third annual Northeastern Region Pesticide Safety Education Center Workshop in partnership and cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Region III and EPA Headquarters). Please forward this announcement to anyone you think would benefit from this workshop. If you attended a previous workshop, please allow the opportunity for others to attend this year as the agenda is very similar to past years.
The workshop will be held in State College, Pennsylvania beginning on Monday, September 10, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. and concluding the afternoon of Wednesday, September 12, 2007.
The workshop is modeled after a successful program in the southern region, hosted by North Carolina State University. The overall goal of the program is to demonstrate and provide participants with new interactive training presentations that they can then use for their own pesticide safety education programming. Hands-on training activities will be a major thrust of this training program. A large duffle bag with over $200 worth of many of the materials needed for you to repeat the hands-on activities you learn will be provided to each participant.
No registration fee will be charged for attending the 2007 NEPSEC Annual Workshop and most other expenses (hotel and most meals) will be provided during the conference ONLY IF you attend the entire conference. However, participants will be responsible for their own travel costs to and from University Park.
Registrations for this workshop are now being accepted. However, please keep in mind that, in order to provide the most hands-on experiences for participants, only 50 registrations will be accepted. Participants will be selected based on the order in which registrations were received.
For additional information and to register for this workshop, please visit the NEPSEC web page at: http://nepsec.psu.edu/. If you are undecided, please check out the Past Workshops page, which links to past workshop agendas and comments and photos from almost all of the sessions.
