What are the Organic/Natural Associations ought there?

I am a member of NOFA and am thankful for them but I also want a wider alternate /perspective. Living in the mid-south, I needed to go to the northeast to find ,as far as I knew, the closest place to attend a seminar on organics.
What else is out there? and any know of future seminar like programs to catch up on the latest insight in working with organic/natural products. I am willing to travel and suppose I'll have to until the south rises again.

besides NOFA I have not heard of any other folks "accrediting" landscapers organic, there may be others but I have not heard of them
