Welcome Vendors & Advertisers

Instead of the conventional placement of an advertisement, Online Seminars provides a link to your company website.  Companies who have products or services of general importance to municipal arborists are invited to be linked from our home page to your website.

 

The 19th Online Seminar for Municipal Arborists is currently underway.  This program has proven to be a very successful link to arborists throughout the US and Canada.  The ISA is so pleased with the concept they have extended the scope of the Seminars to include certification CEU's for Municipal Specialists, Utility Specialists, Tree Worker Specialists, Certified Arborists, and BCMA credits.  

The CaUFC committee now offers CEU credit to all California Certified Urban Foresters who pass the test at the end of each Online Seminars article.  

Tree World Forums of Australia now features Online Seminars articles and discussions on their forums.  This provides our vendors world-wide exposure.

The Executive Director of ASCA has authorized all their members who receive ISA credits through Online Seminars to earn ASCA – CEU credits.

According to our research: 

·         There were approximately 140,000 hits on the website during the last Seminar, 

·         There is a constant increase in viewing at each Seminar over the previous one,

·         Currently over 4,300+ people have become Seminar members and each member receives a monthly reminder to visit the Seminars and our vendor websites,

·         And most importantly, there was an increase of 493 hits to one of our vendor websites in just the first week of a recent Seminar.  In fact one vendor was overwhelmed with business this past summer.  They attribute much of their success to a couple of articles on the Seminars as well as their linkage.

 

Some endorsements that I have received include:

·         Jon Thompson "This is great!  Out here in the boondocks of Montana, it is very difficult for me to provide quality training and education to my staff without expensive travel.  We definitely take advantage of this."

 

·         Sean Novak "Thank you, this will be great for me, I have a lot to learn and have just been given the top arborist position at my municipality."

 

·         Oliver Hein “… as your online seminars become more popular I can see the potential for both vendors and participants."

 

·         Norm Schilling "My CEU's have been received and my total updated.  I thank you so much for your help and prompt response.  You provide a VERY valuable service in this, and my hat is off to you, sir!"

 

·         Jeanne F. Peterson wrote, “As a newly certified arborist I appreciate learning from those who have experience in the field.  I wanted to say thank you for the articles and opportunities to earn CEU credits while picking up some info that I can use in my field.”

 

·         Craig Rasmuson “Thanks for the cool site.  As I understand it I can accumulate all 30 CEU's by doing a year’s worth of on-line-seminars.   Thanks for your website as I cannot afford to pay for a lot of CEU's and neither could most people.”

 

·         Eric Wiseman, Assistant Professor in the Forestry Dept. at Virginia Tech “You have probably seen a flurry of posts from the Blacksburg, VA area. These are students in my Urban Forestry course at Virginia Tech. I have assigned them to read your articles and make posts to the forums. I want them to see the value and gain experience in urban forestry discussion groups. As urban foresters, we are often isolated in our day-to-day worlds and I want them to see the value of online venues such as this.   Keep up the good work.”
