2022-2023 MMCA Board and Committees

President

President's Message

I hope this edition of our Skeeter Scanner finds you well and that you are experiencing successes in the control of mosquitoes. I thought it best to provide an update to address our current Board-identified goals noted in the last Scanner. I wanted to first qualify the below as a product of the Board, Committees and member efforts. The MMCA Board identified the following mosquito control related goals in short - reconnecting, support and funding, promotion, and education. 

• A common membership renewal date has been established, January 1, allowing for easier tracking of memberships. This date allows for a grace period for those that renew at our 7F or Annual Conference. 
• Financial support for American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) and its Research Fund as mosquito control professionals directly benefit from AMCA activities and research they support.
• Continued offer of financial support to MDHHS arbovirus surveillance activities as well as our Kenley Ferrell Grant-in-Aid.
• Planning of a virtual 7F Training Seminar with updated talks and incorporation of recordings of equipment use and operations (videos); an attempt to bring more exhibition of actual techniques and operations to our virtual training.
• Planning for the Annual Meeting in February 2023, see you in East Lansing!
• Individual Committee development of goals.
• Planning renewed engagement with legislators and regulators.
• Review of MMCA Education materials.

As noted in previous Scanner editions and communications, we look to serve our membership and we rely on our membership to inform us of their priorities and needs. We will continue to work within the Association to promote mosquito control here in Michigan and look forward to your participation in the future.
​
I hope you find continued success as we enter the second half of the mosquito season. 

Yes, it is July already.
