In addition to the documents referenced above, EPA has created a Public Docket to serve as a permanent repository for documents related to the conference.

If your company or organization have been actively engaged in tick integrated pest management practices, we strongly encourage you to complete the electronic membership application to join our Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (http://epa.gov/pestwise/pesp/join.html). Again, we appreciate your participation and interest in the conference and look forward to collaborating with you on future tick IPM topics.
