Most academic positions including teaching and outreach, while relatively few are 100% research. The Entomological Society of America has a large contingent of students being trained for positions that will require formal or informal teaching and upon graduation, these students may not continue their membership because the ESA’s current four sections which emphasize research, MUVE, PBT, P-IE, and SysEB may not do enough to address our member needs. This presentation will be a first step in exploring the options for the ESA to better serve those who teach or conduct outreach.
