Agenda-Under Development

We are still in need of presentations and special papers for the upcoming meeting. The information below will highlight the potential panels and timeframe for submitting contributed and special papers. We are excited to hear what you plan on discussing during the upcoming meeting.

• Potential Panels:
• Western Red Cedar Decline
• Root disease
• Foliar diseases
• Larch diseases
• White pine blister rust
• Note: “Contributed papers” are those within highlighted panels to present. “Special papers” are those given by people requesting a non-panel time slot.
• Please contact Brad Lalande (bradley.lalande@usda.gov) if you would like to present a special paper on a forest pathology subject matter. Send a title and brief description of your proposed paper by August 1st.
• If more requests are received than we have time for, we will review the date of receipt and titles, in order to select papers for presentation. Authors will be notified before closing of early registration.
• As an alternative, remember that brief presentations (as arranged with the committee chair) may be given during committee meetings or virtual/remote talks may be available, if not able to attend.

We will send out a draft agenda, in August, for planning purposes and update the WIFDWC website with all relevant information as applicable. If you have any questions regarding papers, please contact Brad Lalande (bradley.lalande@usda.gov).
