Dr. Erin Cadwalader leads the Society's science policy and advocacy efforts, including the Grand Challenges Agenda for Entomology, as well as overseeing the leadership development programs. She is a key liaison between ESA and many allied groups and leads the recently established Vector-Borne Disease Network.
