[NHCOLL-L:4646] RE: Integrated Pest Management Working Group 2010 Meeting Dates

[Rachael Perkins Arenstein]

We are currently accepting requests for a spot at the 2010 IPM Working Group
meeting to be held February 22-23, 2010 and hosted by the American Museum of
Natural History in New York City.

 

The IPM Working Group is a group of museum professionals from various
disciplines dedicated to the development of pest management resources for
the general museum community.  The goal of the working group meeting is not
to teach IPM, but rather to focus on developing resources to make IPM easier
for museum staff. We recognize that every museum has similar challenges with
regards to pest management. We hope that the working group can help solve
problems while alleviating the need for every museum to come up with their
own solutions.  The resources developed by the group are all available for
free on our website www.museumpests.net <http://www.museumpests.net/> 

 

This year's meeting will focus on updates to the newly revised website as
well as continued work on the long-term goals of the various sub-committees
including:  Pest identification aids, Data collection and visualization
tools, and Pest treatment resources.  

 

As with the previous meetings, we want to stress that this is not a review
of IPM and the purpose of the group is not to teach IPM, but to solve
individual institutional challenges while developing resources for the
museum community. You should expect to take an active role in discussing and
setting goals, and to leave with an assignment.  For more information on the
working group please see www.museumpests.net <http://www.museumpests.net/> .
If you would like to attend the meeting, please contact IPM Co-chair Rachael
Perkins Arenstein rachael at AMArtConservation.com.  Please put "IPM Working
Group RSVP" in the subject line of the email as messages without this
subject line will not be opened.
