Symposium presentations may qualify for continuing education credit that helps professionals in the field maintain their licenses.

(It also helps if the presentation’s title reflects this content.) Select the appropriate choice below:

My presentation focuses on invasive plant control and that is clear from my title and abstract

My presentation does not focus on invasive plant control but does contain content on it, and that is clear from my title and abstract
