Dear Colleague:
Please join us for the 2016 training conference of the Pennsylvania Vector Control Association on October 19 – 21, 2016 at the Days Inn, 240 S. Pugh Street, State College, PA 16801.
Fee structure for this conference is as follows:
Class 1 – Non-license and public license attendee $120.00
Class 2 – Commercial license with exhibit and/or presentation $400.00
Class 3 – Additional commercial license(s) from same company $120.00
This fee will include Wednesday – Friday breaks, and a Thursday lunch banquet at the hotel. Please pre-register by mailing or e-mailing a separate registration form with the name and complete mailing address for each attendee to me at the above address by September 16, 2016. (To speed up registration at the door, please mail your registration check payable to “PVCA” prior to the conference, if possible.) If attaching a business card to the registration form, complete only the items not on your card.
EXHIBITORS: For those pre-registering to exhibit and give an exhibitor presentation, time has been set aside on Wednesday to introduce your company and your products. There will be ample time during the three-day event to speak with individuals. Please complete the enclosed registration form and return on or before September 16, 2016. If not pre-registered, we cannot guarantee exhibit space or presentation time.
Room rates are $82.00 per night plus applicable taxes (8.5%). We have a block of rooms reserved ONLY until September 16. You must make your own reservation with the Days Inn by that date, or you will not be guaranteed a room. Even if you have not received approval to attend, you are encouraged to reserve a room. You can always cancel the reservation if you do not receive final approval. Be sure to ask for the “PVCA meeting (CGPVC1)” when you make your reservation, to be assured of obtaining the above rate. The Days Inn phone number is (814) 238-8454. Please remember, in order to receive reduced fees for the hotel facilities for the conference, we must guarantee a minimum number of rooms. Please plan to stay at the Days Inn.
Attached is a preliminary agenda for the conference. If there are any changes, an updated agenda will be posted on the website. Please check the website: www.pavectorcontrol.org. Continuing Education Credits for PA Pesticide Applicators licenses will be issued by the PA Department of Agriculture. Please bring your license with you if you wish to receive credits.
Please complete the attached registration form, and/or exhibitor registration form, and return it to me by September 16, 2016. Please note any special needs you may have on the reservation form.
There will be a bowling event on Wednesday evening sponsored by Jeffrey O’Neill and Central Life Sciences. Please RSVP on this event so we can determine the amount of food to order.
REMINDER:
Please remember to bring item(s) for the Chinese auction that supports the student award.
We look forward to seeing you at State College!
Sincerely,
Carmen L. Reichard,
Secretary – PVCA
