2022-2023 MMCA Board and Committees
President's MessageThe 2022 Mosquito Control Season is about to kick-off with spring mosquito larvae beginning to hatch along with the presence of packs of voracious, overwintered female Anopheles on those warm April days. These annual rites of spring are, dare I say, normal. Moreover, it is this concept of “normal” which the MMCA Board has chosen to focus on in 2022. The concept of normal has shifted, as much has changed in recent times. A “New Normal” is what we will look to define and utilize. The board is looking to combine the value of the pre-pandemic initiatives and practices with the skills and lessons learned over the past couple of years. The pandemic unfortunately resulted in less in-person networking opportunities with members, regulators, and legislators. However, we were able to connect, serve, and network utilizing virtual platforms such as Zoom. It is taking new capabilities, initiatives and successes learned over the last couple of difficult years, and applying them to reinvigorate past practices of the Association. With one Board meeting under our belt in 2022, the following goals were identified and passed along to the respective committees. They include the following:
I truly appreciate all the leadership, service, and solutions provided by recent MMCA boards, committees, industry vendors, and volunteers that has positioned this association to meet the many challenges and opportunities of today and the future. I also want to thank our 2022 MMCA volunteers that staff our current board and committees. I look forward to working with all of you. Please let us know what you need and expect from us. Have a successful and enlightening control season. |
