of the conference. Like a webinar, only better, you will see the presenter as well as the powerpoint presentation, be able to raise your hand and ask questions, and see videos from our sponsors and exhibitors. Registration is only $159 for SMA members.
If you get 5 or more people together, registration is $129/person. That's right, we will give you $30/person that you can use to provide lunch, a large TV screen, or use for room rental. The theme of the conference is RISK, something all communities must
deal with. Get several of your staff together, invite other departments, your local tree board or non-profit members and share the wealth! Can't sit still? That's ok, if you get interrupted or need to leave, you can access the entire program for 60 days
after it's over. And, you'll get<b> 6 CEU</b>'s. This is a new initiative for SMA, we want all of you to be able to experience the conference. Please be a part of this inaugural event, the more the merrier. You will find details on the SMA website, or
you can contact myself or Paul Johnson,<b> <a href="mailto:pjohnson@tfs.tamu.edu">
<span style="color:blue">pjohnson@tfs.tamu.edu</span></a></b> for more information. Please forward this to anyone you think may be interested in joining us. "See" you in Sacramento! <b> Register now</b>
