2025-2026 MMCA Board and Committees
Rebecca Brandt 2025 President As we begin a new year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the strength of the Michigan Mosquito Control Association and the collective work that continues to move our mission forward. MMCA remains grounded in science, collaboration, and a shared commitment to protecting public health, and I am proud of the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by our members throughout the past year. One of our key priorities moving into 2026 is the continuation and strengthening of our partnership with the Michigan Pest Management Association (MPMA). This collaboration has proven valuable in amplifying our voice, sharing expertise, and advancing best practices across our industries. By working together, we are better positioned to address emerging challenges and communicate the importance of science-based mosquito control to stakeholders, regulators, and the public. Legislative engagement will also remain an important focus for MMCA led by Dr. Carl Doud and the Legislative Committee. We will continue to monitor and engage in discussions around potential pesticide labeling changes, including those related to monarch butterflies, to ensure that decisions are informed by sound science and balanced risk assessment. In addition, we will remain vigilant in advocating for adequate funding at the federal level for vector-borne disease surveillance, research, and control efforts. Protecting these resources is essential to safeguarding public health across Michigan. Lastly, I would like to sincerely thank our committees for their hard work, expertise, and engagement over the past year, in particular the new volunteers we’ve had chairing and reenergizing these committees. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and they make a meaningful difference in the success of MMCA. As we look ahead, I am optimistic about what we can accomplish together to keep MMCA a strong and respected advocate of mosquito control. Thank you for your support over the past year! |
