| Impact Report | Western Pecan Growers Conference. The 2011 Western Pecan Growers Conference had >500 attendees from around the western U.S ., as well as Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Chihuahua (MX), Sonora (MX), and even Australia. As in 2010, attendees were given a post-conference survey. Those responding to the survey were highly complimentary of the educational program and said that the topics were immediately relevant to their current needs for the 2011 season. On the afternoon of Tuesday March 8th, a post-conference board meeting was held in which the WPGA board of gave their review of the past two days. The 18 board members in attendance gave an overwhelmingly positive review of the conference educational program. All of them confirmed that the presentations provide information immediately need by pecan growers in the West. They also expressed their complete satisfaction with equipment sales (in the tradeshow) and overall attendance. One member from New Mexico specifically praised the diverse topics covered by this conference. However, one board member (also from New Mexico) did have a complaint that it was difficult to hear some of the speakers. |
