The 2006 National Extension Tourism (NET) Conference will be held in Burlington, Vermont, September 10-13, 2006. This is a national conference designed to 1) enhance networking opportunities between tourism and recreation professionals nationwide; 2) encourage discussion about tourism and recreation issues; and 3) provide opportunities for sharing information about tourism and recreation projects and programs. The NET Conference takes place every other year and is sponsored by the National Extension Tourism Design (NET) Team, a team of tourism and recreation Extension professionals, along with USDA Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service partners. The mission of the NET Design Team is to enhance Extension Tourism Programs nationally by providing relevant information, useful resources, and networking opportunities for Extension professionals and others working in the broad area of tourism and recreation. Anyone involved in tourism, recreation, and community development programs would benefit from attending this national conference.
