273 - Into the next era of VectorSurv

Abstract: Since its inception, VectorSurv has aimed to be responsive to the needs of vector control and public health agencies at local, state, and national scales. VectorSurv now has users in a majority of U.S. states and territories. This growth has helped to standardize data collection and reporting and placed user-friendly analytics in the hands of more decision-makers. The greater diversity of interests has also come with a need to establish a national organizational structure to represent our community of stakeholders and ensure continued responsiveness to emerging needs. Avenues for regular communication, training, and feedback will be critical for sustainable, long-term success. This final presentation of the symposium will provide an overview of future development and organizational goals for VectorSurv, followed by an invitation for questions and input from the audience.
