biennial international conference covering the interests of professionals and
organizations involved in weed management and regulation. It is composed of an
affiliation of organizations from various jurisdictions across North America
with a common interest in sharing information and promoting weed management
throughout North America. Because weeds do not respect human imposed laws or
boundaries, we must develop partnerships, share information, and coordinate
programs and projects that cross these boundaries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
