The nearest airport is the Pasco Airport (PSC)\, which is a 35 minute drive from Prosser. Other regional airports\, all approximately 3 hours away\, are Portland (PDX)\, Seattle-Tacoma (SEA)\, and Spokane (GEG).  As a reminder\, if you fly Alaska Airlines out of Pasco\, you are allowed to check a case of wine for free. \nParticipants will need to arrange their own transposition to and from the airport to Prosser.  If flying in and out of Pasco\, please be sure to rent a car early\, as while the airport is small and efficient\, it is heavily used due to the large number of commercial operations in the TriCities area. \nHotel\nA block of hotel rooms has been held at the Best Western Plus Inn at Horse Heaven.  The extended rate to conference participants is $93 + tax.   The name on the group block is:  “Viticulture and Enology Extension”.

Otherwise\, the Front Desk phone number is :1-800-688-2192 \nState Report Guidelines\nAs in the past\, we have allotted time for state-specific reports. First preference for these reports will be given to those attendees who have extension or outreach responsibilities within their county / region / state.  Reports will be both in written (submitted before the conference)\, and oral (presented at the conference) format. Please see the information below for specific details: \n\nWritten reports should be completed in the template provided below. They are due by May 4\, 2018. Please email to Michelle Moyer (michelle.moyer@wsu.edu).\n \n\nReport Template (.docx)\nReports should emphasize unique characteristics to the region\, that would influence how extension programming would be developed and delivered.\n\n\nOral presentations will be limited to 4 slides total (if desired)\, and approximately 5-10 minutes\, depending on the number of submitted reports. Only those who submit a written report will be allowed to present an oral report.\n\nIn the case of multiple submissions for the same region\, individual written reports will be permitted\, but the oral presentation will need to be consolidated to 1. Individuals impacted by this will be contacted by May 7th\, with instructions on coordinating the oral presentations.\n\n\n\nTravel Scholarships (Closed)\n\nNGRA anticipates making available up to five travel scholarships for V&E specialists who lack funding for airfare and hotel accommodations. \n\nApplication Form (.pdf)\nApplications due: Applications are now closed.
