Dear Forest Entomologists and Health Specialists Everywhere,
We are pleased to make the formal announcement for the 6th North American Forest Insect Work Conference to be held in Washington D.C. from May 31 to June 3, 2016. This is a notice to have you save these dates on your calendar.
The conference theme is "Toward Healthy Forests: Leadership, Vision, and Action." The theme recognizes the host city, Washington D.C. which serves as the headquarters for federal agencies charged with managing National Forests in the U.S. The main goal of the conference will be to bring researchers, practitioners, and students in contact with agency leadership to inform each other and consider future trends and directions regarding forest health. Special emphasis will be on encouraging the use of research-based information in developing policies and actions that most benefit forest health in the face of a changing global environment. Our next generation of forest entomologists (students and post-docs) are our future leaders. Their exposure to agency leadership policy and the political environment that helps shape it will be critical in their professional development.
The Conference will be held at the Washington Marriott at Wardman Park ( <http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/wasdt-washington-marriott-wardman-par…> http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/wasdt-washington-marriott-wardman-par…)
We have arranged to contract off-season govt. per diem room rates during prime travel season.
Organizing Committees have been formed
Organizing Committee: Scott Salom ( <mailto:salom@vt.edu> salom(a)vt.edu) - Chair; Bob Rabaglia ( <mailto:brabaglia@fs.fed.us> brabaglia(a)fs.fed.us) and Kier Klepzig ( <mailto:kklepzig@fs.fed.us> kklepzig(a)fs.fed.us) - members
Program Committee: Kier Klepzig - Chair; Don Duerr ( <mailto:dduerr@fs.fed.us> dduerr(a)fs.fed.us) Nadir Erbilgin ( <mailto:erbilgin@ualberta.ca> erbilgin(a)ualberta.ca) and Dan Herms ( <mailto:herms.2@osu.edu> herms.2(a)osu.edu) - members
The conference will be managed in association with Continuing and Professional Education at Virginia Tech. This group specializes in planning conferences such as ours.
We hope to have a website running soon to help facilitate information about the conference. Timely announcements will be made before long to get your input into developing a program. We will also provide details on registration, signing up for field trips, and booking reservations.
Please contact the organizers if you have any questions or suggestions.

Subject: EU COST Action FP1002 PERMIT Final Conference - CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
Dear Colleagues,
The EU COST Action FP1002 PERMIT deals with invasive organisms and their association with pathways for international transfer. The Action has been running for over 3 years with particular concentration on the live Plants for Planting pathway. We are now in the final year of the Action and during the final week of October this year will be having a conference to summarise the work of PERMIT and to interact with others in this field. The location will be Estoril (near Lisbon) in Portugal and the local organiser is Dr Edmundo Sousa.
We have a relatively limited number of places at the venue (around 70 participants) and are now publicising the meeting (see attached) and would encourage you to consider contributing to it. Depending on the applicants location and the subject matter of the presentation, there is a possibility of providing financial support for travel and accommodation (EU COST rules restrict the geographic locations that can be supported). Applicants from Argentina, New Zealand and South Africa may be able to apply for funds in those countries since they have signed up to COST and guaranteed some funding for travel to COST meetings.
I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, to meeting some of you at the conference in October.
With best wishes,
Hugh Evans
Chair of FP1002
