title: Back to basics.
abstract: The basic strength of the AMCA family is the wide range of expertise and "can do" attitude of its diverse membership. The AMCA is currently experiencing problems with federal legislation and fiscal stability because we have not fully utilized member strengths to reevaluate the association's direction and set new goals to address change. However, the AMCA Board of Directors and many committee chairpersons met, reevaluated direction and clarified goals, and initiated major changes to meet the challenges facing the association and its members. Members of the AMCA are encouraged to contribute their individual talents to ensure that the association prosper and serve the needs of the mosquito and vector control family.
