State IPM coordinators share many challenges, most having very limited experience and resources. Moreover, they operate in different organizational structures and have a wide range of areas of emphasis. Some IPM coordinators are new while others have well established, highly successful programs. It will be very beneficial for expertise to be shared among IPM coordinators to determine how best to perform their duties, such as establishing a responsive IPM contact point, providing information, identifying expertise, documenting successes, assisting with funding, conducting small-scale demonstration projects, and supporting and encouraging implementation of IPM in county extension programs and ultimately by clientele.
