ESA Eastern Branch Committees


The Entomological Society of America Eastern Branch depends on volunteers to perform the critical functions that keep our branch active and productive. Without the active participation of members in the executive, standing, and ad hoc committees we would be unable to provide quality programming for our annual meeting. The next annual meeting is scheduled for March 7-9, 2010 at the Sheraton Annapolis Hotel, Annapolis, MD. If you're considering volunteering a portion of your time for committee service this year, please contact either the current chair of the committee in which you're interested or this year's Secretary, Mr. Dan Gilrein, or Eastern Branch President, Dr. Loke Kok.

On behalf of the entire Eastern Branch membership, please accept my thanks for your willingness to serve - Dan Gilrein.
