Past Meetings
Executive Committee meetings are held periodically throughout the year as planning and coordination are needed for yearly events. Any member is welcome to attend one of these meetings. The meetings are typically held in the Harrisburg area. If you have any questions regarding an executive committee meeting, please contact the webmaster: webmaster at entsocpa.org
The date, time, and location of the next Executive Committee meeting will be posted on the main page as needed.

2005 Annual Meeting
LHU Sieg Conference Center
Lamar, PA
October 19-20, 2005
Greetings ESP Members,
Mark your calendars. The 2005 ESP annual meeting is scheduled for October 19th and 20th at the Lock Haven University Sieg Conference Center in the Fishing Creek Valley near Lamar, PA. This location is a great natural setting for a meeting and I am looking forward to seeing it myself. We are planning two half day sessions, 12:00 to 4:00 on the 19th and 8:00 to 12:00 on the 20th. This format will allow for travel time. There will be free lodging at the center for Wednesday the 19th, and we are also planning a cookout for the evening of the 19th.
At this point I have two speakers lined up , so I need a few more to complete the agenda. As a theme I was considering the introduction of invasive insect species and their impact on PA habitats, but if we can not fill the program with this theme any insect related presentation will do. So, if you have a subject you would like to present, please contact me at LFORTE@STATE.PA.US so that I can include you on the agenda. Thanks, see you inOctober. – Len Forte, 2005 ESP President
