About the cover:  Since 1984, when Glenn Dodd organized the t aining courses for 

mosquito cont ol professionals, the Florida Mosquito Cont ol Association (FMCA) has 

recog ized the impor ance of providing world class t aining to those on the  ont lines 

of mosquito cont ol.  For the 2016 Dodd Shor  Courses, the sy bol of the gold shield 

represents the honorable and ver  serious task of going to ba le against our state’s 

most nefarious pest.  For millennia, the color pur le has represented nobilit , and as 

you wear the 2016 Dodd Shor  Courses shir , remember that your work is ex emely 

impor ant, absolutely necessar , and cer ainly noble.  The ser ices that mosquito 

cont ol ex er s provide around the state is to be commended and suppor ed.  The 

FMCA will continue to suppor  the increase of knowledge, collaboration, and diligence 

– all a ibutes that Glenn Dodd stood for.  These characteristics are what the Dodd 

Shor  Courses are all about.  Enjoy your courses, share ideas, and by all means be proud 

of the work you do each and ever  day. 

In 2015 the Dodd  Shor  Course Commi ee seized an oppor nit  to 'take Dodd to the 

nex  level' by offering a complete course of st dies desig ed to recog ize different levels 

of t aining.  The course of st dies will be developed by the Dodd Shor  Course 

Commi ee to establish a Core Cer ificate, an Advanced Cer ificate, and a Grandmaster 

Cer ificate.  Each level will consist of several courses and may take several years to 

complete. Upon completion of each level, a cer ificate will be presented to recog ize 

successf l completion of that level and to encourage the st dent to continue to the nex  

level for that course of st dy. The basis of the course of st dy cer ification is to both 

encourage lear ing and to provide a focus and direction for Dodd a endees. CEUs will 

still be offered as usual for individual courses taken each year. "Taking Dodd to the 

nex  level" is something in which Glenn would be ver  proud to par icipate. 

Stay t ned in the coming years as we take Dodd to the nex  level.

GlennonDavidDodd,1948‐1991

GlennDoddwas,for10ofthe15yearsthathewasinmosquitocontrol,theAssistantDirectorofIndianRiverMosquitoControl

District, in Vero Beach, Florida.Tothosewhoknewhimwell,andfor thosewhodidnotknowhim,hewasmuchmorethananassis‐tantdirector. Hewasthe irsttorecognize that mosquito controlhad to get into the employeetrainingbusiness. Glennwas theforcethatgotitstarted.Hecalleduponhis substantial intellect, hiscolleagues, especially Jim Robin‐son of Pasco County MosquitoControlDistrictandBillOpp,thenwithHRS/DACS and now retiredfrom Lee County Mosquito Con‐

trolDistrict,hisotherfriends,andhisfuturefriendstoorganizeandpresent several “courses” inVeroBeachduring the fall of1984.The six courses taught that year were more appropriatelycalledgroupdiscussionsandtheywereaboutavarietyoftopicsof interesttomosquitocontrolsuchassurveillance, larvicides,adulticides,applicationequipmentandcomputers.Thepartici‐pants were principally the directors and biologists of Floridaprogramswho sat around in a semicircle in various locationsand“talkedaboutthings.”What started as a simple idea has blossomed into one of thelargestand,arguably,thebestsetsoftrainingcoursesformos‐quitocontrol in theworld today. Thisyear29coursesareof‐fered,fromahalf‐daytoseveraldaysinlength.Eachyearthoseof us on the Dodd Short Course Committee ask ourselves ifGlennwouldbepleasedwithwhatwearedoinginhisname.

WethinkGlennwouldbeproudofthisyear’sofferings.NamingthecoursesforGlenn,afterhissuddenandtragicdeathin1991,was not simply a gesture of thanks and recognition of Glenn’scontributions.Hisnamebecameaconstantremindertousofthehigh ideals that Glenn personi ied.
