Join President Marianne Alleyne as we kickoff Entomology 2023: Insects and Influence: Advancing Entomology’s Impact on People and Policy. We’ll hear from President Alleyne as she reflects on her year of leadership, ESA’s accomplishments, and our future, especially around advocacy. As President, she’ll recognize this year’s Fellows and Honorary Members on stage.

Next, we’ll hear from Sonny Ramaswamy, President and CEO of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. As the former Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Dr. Ramaswamy will share why investing in advocacy is important for the future of the science.

Finally, the session will conclude with a panel discussion with members of the Science Policy Fellows Program regarding their experiences in advocating for ESA and the future of Entomology.
