  This event, organized by Friend of ERB and Cherokee Extension Agent Josh Fuder, brings the new UGA Bee Program Director, Dr. Jamie Ellis to Canton!

  You may recognize Dr. Ellis from the Two Bees in a Podcast show. He's returning to Georgia from his time at the University of Florida where he built a world-class program. We'll be learning about what Dr. Ellis has planned for the Georgia program. 

  Admission is free but preregistration is required so Josh can monitor capacity and move the location if necessary to keep the Fire Marshal happy. 

  Do NOT register with ERB as this is not an official ERB event. Register here: https://uga.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?tt=2ui6b2j1lH8ECHrPeIW9eQ%3D%3D

  Note that you will not receive an immediate confirmation but Josh tells us he'll be sending out emails in batches.
