Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

January 11, 2007, 6:00 PM at the Marriott Hotel in New Orleans, LA. Held in conjunction with the Beltwide Cotton Conferences. Jeremy Greene, chair of SERA-IEG 23, presided over the meeting. In attendance were 26 scientists representing 10 universities and USDA-ARS. James Harper, David Boethel and Ralph Bagwell were recognized as experiment station and extension directors that have authorized this meeting. Old Business Randy Luttrell reported on ideas submitted to him regarding potential focus areas for this IEG group: Armyworm biology, ecology and management in cotton suggested by Gus Lorenz Influences of production practices on cotton insects suggested by Jeff Gore Pyrethroid resistance of heliothines suggested by Fred Musser Randy emphasized the web site that is available to the group for posting information such as publications and literature reviews. Randy encouraged us to use this resource more. New Business Fred Musser brought information regarding the next annual meeting to be held in conjunction with a branch meeting of the Entomological Society of America (ESA). The southeastern branch annual meeting was chosen to be the site of the next SERA-IEG 23 meeting. It will be held in Jacksonville, FL on March 2-5, 2008. We will hold a symposium at that meeting with the title Managing Cotton Insects. Since the current officers of Jeremy Greene (chair) and Fred Musser (sec/chair-elect) only assumed their duties after the last meeting in November, 2006, both officers will remain in their positions until the 2008 annual meeting. Attendance sheets were passed around for everyone to sign. Attendees are listed below. The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 PM. Sincerely, Fred Musser Secretary/ Chair-elect
