SFIWC registration form and abbreviated program now available!
by William Shepherd
It's time to register for the 51st annual Southern Forest Insect Work
Conference, 4-7 August 2008, Chattanooga Marriot at the Convention Center,
in Chattanooga, Tennessee USA!
The 2008 SFIWC registration form and preliminary program are now available
at http://www.sfiwc.org//2008/index.html. The registration fee is $180
($110 for students and retired members). Extra banquet tickets are $34.
This year's banquet will be a dinner cruise on the Tennessee River,
featuring a prime rib/shrimp creole buffet and cash bar. Vegetarian plates
also are available; please be sure to mark your preference on the
registration form. The banquet will be held on the boat's second deck,
which does not have elevator access. If you or a guest will need
assistance on the stairs (e.g., a wheelchair), please include a note with
your registration form.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that we have an accurate head count for the dinner
cruise. Payment in full is due to the cruise company 10 days prior to the
banquet. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE everyone to send in their registration forms
and fees before the meeting if possible.
Remember to reserve your room at the Chattanooga Marriott at the Convention
Center no later than July 20. Please go to
http://www.sfiwc.org//2008/index.html for details.

A.D. Hopkins Award nominations.
A note from Chris Asaro, Program Chairman:
This will be the last call for posters and student presentations. We still
have fewer than 10 posters so please contribute to make this worthwhile.
Submit all poster titles author names and affiliations to Carla Dilling at
cdillin1(a)utk.edu. We also have space for at least two more graduate student
presentations. Submit titles, author names and affiliations for grad
student presentations to Gina Davis (gina21(a)vt.edu) or Kelly Felderhoff (
klfelder(a)ncsu.edu).
I hope to see all of you in Chattanooga!
