2009 IPM Symposium
The Sixth International IPM Symposium, “Transcending Boundaries,” will be held March 24–26, 2009, in Portland, Oregon. The Northeastern IPM Center, a sponsor of the event, will work with partners to offer a session called “Implementing IPM in Affordable Housing through Strategic Partnerships,” with case studies that will include
- the Healthy Pest Free Housing Initiative, a Boston-based initiative with an eight-year history,
- Penn State’s Philadelphia Schools and Community IPM Partnership, which has created inroads in IPM education for urban communities,
- the new, national IPM training curriculum developed under the Center’s leadership.
Presenters at this session will discuss strategies, lessons learned, and results achieved in each program, and will provide suggestions for adapting their model to other settings.
