| Impact Report | Western Pecan Growers Conference. The 2009 Western Pecan Growers Conference had >300 attendees from around the western U.S. As in 2008, attendees responding in a post-conference survey and face-to-face comments were highly complimentary of the educational program. Again, they said that the topics were immediately relevant to their current needs and that the information conveyed will directly affect practices in their pecan orchard operations. A few attendees also suggested additional topics that should have been addressed—for example, a pecan marketing presentation was requested by one survey respondent. These will hopefully be address in the 2010 WPGA program. Also, following the 2009 WPGA conference, the association’s board evaluated the educational program which I coordinated. All 21 of the board members gave a very positive review of the conference program—confirming that the presentations provided information immediately applicable for pecan growers throughout the west. |
