First of all is it to late to register? The cost will be $20 for both seminars. Or $20 for each one. If so do you get a $20 dollar credit at the end of both? Let me know. I'd be interested in attending. Also is the registration fee differenent for ISA certified arborist and non ISA certified arborist? The total credits would be 13CEU's? Do both days cover the same thing or does each day cover different things.
Thanks, BB

No, but they would lke to get a head count as soon as possible. I should have posted this sooner.

The cost is $20.00 for each one day seminar.

If you register for both days then you would get a credit for both days. Note that the credit is good the day of the event. They would probably let you combine the two days towards one purchase, but they would not let you carry the credit past that weekend.

Also is the registration fee differenent for ISA certified arborist and non ISA certified arborist?

The cost is the same, whether you are certified or not.

The total credits would be 13CEU's?

If you attend both days, you will receive 13 CEU's.

Do both days cover the same thing or does each day cover different things.

They will probably cover the same or similar topics, but if there are a number of people who are going to attend both days, then we will vary the content.

If you have any more questions let me know. Hope to see you there!

The McDonough Location

My boss called today and signed two of us up for the McDonough (South Atl.) seminar and the guy at Vermeer told him it is in limbo due to the lack of interest. Only 9 signed up so far. (Wouldn't you know it, this location is only 15 miles from my home) If anybody reading is from the Atlanta area, especially South side, give 'em a call@678-583-0199. This area has spawned alotta quality climbers and I have to say I figured there would've been a packed house there next Sat. Oh well, looks like I'll be driving to Marietta for the Fri. seminar and miss a day's pay.

Man that sucks!! I can only make the McDonough one on Saturday. Being that it's close to a 6 hour drive. Hope interest picks up. Let me know please. Other wise I'll have to leave Thursday night and arrive late that night. Can you give the exact location of both. If they both are still going on? Thanks,BB

See it's a six hour drive for me. I'd have to leave Thursday after work and then get a little shut eye before 7am. So I'd rather go Suturday. Ya Know? Well let me know soon about Saturday. Other wise I'll have to sign up for Friday. Man that's going to be a heck of a drive. Anyone else comming from North Carolina?
Thanks,BB

Froggy I'm calling the McDonough Vermeer location tomorrow, hopefully they have met, or are close to meeting the minimum sign-up number. I will let you know ASAP. You must be highly motivated to be driving six hours to come to the seminar....cool! Hope to see you there.

Froggy... GA Bound

The address to the Vermeer seminar is: 305 Racetrack McDonough GA 30252 in case you want to get driving directions online. As long as you can get to I-75 from NC and head south you can't miss it. If you need any help, or have more questions don't hesitate to get back in touch. By the way Froggy...what part of NC are you from. I lived there for awhile and was just curious.
