The PR Committee has created a “Mosquito 101” power point presentation that MVCAC members can use to educate policymakers and stakeholders about the intricacies of mosquito control. In addition to meeting with legislators in Sacramento, building relationships at the local level is critical for increasing awareness and fostering collaboration. State legislators are generally in their districts in the fall since the legislative session is over – this is a good time to invite them to tour your district. In addition to the slide deck there is a series of grassroots advocacy materials available on the legislative outreach section on the members-only side of the website.
