ECN formed an MOU with SPNHC
in late 2016, so this is our first annual
report. ECN is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
international organization dedicated
to promoting entomological science
through the preservation, management,
use and development of entomological collections and to disseminating
information and fostering communications between collections managers around the world regarding best practices in entomological (and arthropod) natural
history collections. The Network is organized and operated
exclusively for scientific and educational purposes. The 2016
annual meeting of the Entomological Collections Network
(ECN) was held September 23-24, 2016, in Orlando, Florida,
USA, in conjunction with the Entomological Society of
America and the International Congress of Entomology. The
two-day meeting included 4 symposia (32 talks), 4 contributed talk sessions (18 talks) and a poster session (21 posters).
There were 203 members in attendance. There were 28 corporate, organizational and individual sponsors of the meeting and the banquet for a total of $11,715 in funding beyond
meeting registrations. At the business meeting held on the
first night before the welcome banquet, the ECN leadership
reported on the activities of the Network:

2. As part of a coordinated effort to increase our visibility among other like-minded (i.e., collections oriented)
organizations, the ECN leadership spent much of 2016
and early 2017 forming formal partnerships and MOUs
with those organizations to better communicate on issues
that concern all partners and their members and to make
it easier to coordinate whole-community responses to
issues. The list of MOUs formalized in 2016 include the
Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN), SPNHC,
the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS),
the Natural Sciences Collections Alliance (NSCA), the
International Society of Biological and Environmental
Repositories (ISBER), and we are the in the process of
finalizing one with iDigBio, which has been a partner
with ECN for several years in terms of providing logistical support and network access to the meetings and their
talks.

The Collections Stewardship Professional Network (CSAAM) listserv
has been restored to full functionality
and the website has been completely
revised. Anyone interested in collections management issues is invited to
participate in the listserv (https://www.
collectionsstewardship.org/listserve).
The listserv and other resources can
be accessed through the Collections Stewardship website at
https://www.collectionsstewardship.org/). The next annual
meeting of the CSAAM will take place during the annual
meeting of the American Alliance of Museums in Phoenix,
Arizona, May 6-9, 2018.
