Continued Education

I always preach this every year about going to local, regional or even national educational events. Well usually I make mention of it a few months before something comes up.

The best time to plan for this is right now while some of you may be working on your budgets. Check out you local or regional events and see when they are. If you want to really see something neat look at attending the Annual Green Industry Conference. It's always the first week of November and will be in Columbus this year.

These are all greatthings for education and networking with your peers in the industry. If you budget for the expense now and block out the time now, your chances of actually getting there this year will be all the better.

Has anyone in New Jersey ever participated in any of the continuing education series at Rutgers Cook college extension? I was thinking of going to a couple of them during this off-season.
