170 2005, Hilary Sandler and Brent Lackey finally gained the ability to edit the site and get it up and running by mid year. Abstract and title submissions worked on the website in 2005, but there were still problems largely due to password and access issues. With the Host Depot contract ending in January 2006, the EC is considering options for making server and webmaster changes. The Collegiate Weed Contest was hosted by Dave Johnson at the Penn State Southeast Research and Extension Center in Lancaster County on July 26, 2005. The Weed Contest Committee, chaired by Bill Curran, made several changes in the rules to broaden the scope of the contest and to enhance the students experience across all contest events. More than 40 volunteers helped to make the contest a rewarding experience for the 45 students who participated. I would like to thank Dave Johnson and all the event coordinators, volunteers, coaches, and students who made this event a great success. Planning discussions were held with NEAPMS board members throughout the year on the joint meeting in 2006. The NEAPMS organization formed in 1999 and includes about 140 members. The group primarily comes from areas in New York and New England and is composed of industry, applicators, state regulators, and university researchers. Many of their members have attended NEWSS meetings. NEWSS has much in common with NEAPMS in that we both work on weed management issues, invasive species, and meet during January. A joint meeting is a good fit given our common interests. A conference call was held in February, we met at The Westin Providence in June, and again in October to discuss details about the joint meeting. Renee Keese worked with NEAPMS members to organize a joint symposium and a weed ID workshop. A joint social was planned, and changes to our traditional meeting format were made to facilitate a good interactive meeting between both organizations. Working with both NEAPMS members and The Westin Providence meeting coordinators was a pleasant and productive experience. WSSA requested that all regional weed societies prepare a history poster for the 50 th Anniversary Celebration to be held in New York City in February. I worked with Bob Sweet and Jeff Derr to prepare the “History of the Northeastern Weed Science Society (1947-2006)” poster which will be presented at both NEWSS and WSSA meetings in 2006. A last initiative in 2005 was to form an ad hoc committee on “The Future of NEWSS.” Rich Bonanno agreed to chair the committee which will first meet during the 2006 annual meeting to begin evaluating the future direction and strategic planning initiatives for our society. Finally, I want to express my thanks to the Executive Committee members who worked hard on society affairs and activities during the year. I also want to thank the society for the opportunity to serve as President. It has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. PRESIDENT-ELECT William S. Curran Collegiate Weed Contest: Dave Johnson from Penn State University at the PA SE Research and Extension Center near Landisville hosted the 2005 collegiate contest on July 25 - 26, 2005. Dave and the Weed Contest Committee revised the contest guidelines expanding some activities and reducing others. A major focus was to integrate more weed biology and ecology into the contest. Most participants of the 2005 contest were pleased with the changes. Dupont has agreed to host the Collegiate Weed Contest in 2006. Greg Armel has agreed to coordinate 152
171 the contest which will be held at Chesapeake Bay Farms near Chestertown, MD. The Dupont team will undoubtedly require some membership assistance to help them pull off a successful event and I encourage your participation. 2007 Annual Meeting: We have signed a contract with Renaissance Harbor Place Baltimore for our 2007 meeting. Specific highlights include: • $115 room rate (can charge $120 for $5 rebate if necessary) • 1 comp room for every 50 • Complimentary Meeting Space • Complimentary One Bedroom Presidential Suite from 1/1 – 1/5/2007 • Complimentary One Bedroom Suite from 1/1 – 1/5/2007 • Complimentary One & Half Hours Reception wine, beer, soda, cheese & crackers for 40 people. • Complimentary One & Half Hours Reception wine, beer, soda, cheese & crackers for 250 people. • Complimentary podiums and lavaliere microphones in all meeting rooms for duration of conference. • Thirteen (13) Complimentary Parking Passes • Guaranteed Reduced Parking $13.00 per 24 hours. • Thirteen (13) upgrades to Club or Harbor View at the group rate • 25% discount on Audio Visual • Executive Board Meeting in October 2006 at the Convention room rate. • Forty Complimentary easels • Meeting Room for the October 2006 Board Meeting will be Complimentary • Thirteen (13) discounted Parking Passes for October 2006 at $13.00 per 24 hours • If guestroom numbers increase above the allocated numbers, the complimentary reception attendee numbers will increase proportionately. • 70% room night guarantee (315 rooms instead of 360) • Reservation deadline of Dec. 14, but the hotel will accept reservations after this date at the conference rate based on availability. I had conversations with the Northeast ASA group (NEBASA), Northeast IPM, Mid-Atlantic EPPC, and the Eastern Entomological Society of America about hosting a joint meeting in 2007. All fell through for 2007 with the exception of MA-EPPC who has verbally committed to join us in 2007. They would like to join our program committee in organizing the 2007 meeting. I’m not sure exactly the extent of their involvement, but it should prove beneficial to both. The 2007 Program Chair and the President should plan to meet with the MA-EPPC group shortly after our 2006 annual meeting. Executive Committee Members: Some replacement candidates for the Executive Committee have been identified. Dan Kunkel has agreed to serve another term as the Legislative Liaison. Dwight Lingenfelter will replace Brent Lackey as the Public Relations Representative in 2006. Jeff Derr’s term as WSSA rep will expire in 2006 and a replacement is currently being sought.
