2004 ESA
Annual Meeting
November
14-17, 2004
Salt Palace

"Entomology and ESA: Our Heritage, Our Future" is the theme for the 2004
Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The science and applications of
entomology were ennobled by our predecessors, ensuring the vitality of the ESA
for decades. Entomologists and our Society now face new frontiers. As a result
of scientific breakthroughs, new technologies, and a world full of political and
economic changes, the knowledge, skills, and work places of entomologists are
dramatically different than they were a decade or two ago and than they likely
will be a decade or two into the future. The institutions and companies that
employ us are in a constant state of change, and the changes in our discipline,
our jobs, and our world present new challenges to the ESA as well. Now is an
ideal time to re-examine the strengths of our past and chart the paths that will
fulfill the promises of our future.
