Applications for the 2020 William C. Reeves New Investigator Award will be accepted through Monday,
December 2, 2019. The William C. Reeves New Investigator Award, memorializing Dr. William C.

The award is presented to the best scientific paper submitted and presented at the annual MVCAC conference.
The Reeves New Investigator Award application differs from the MVCAC Call for Papers, if you have an additional speaking topic for the Call for Papers, please follow that application and guidelines.
I talked to Sara Benedict from CA DPR and she helped clarify some of the questions we had regarding the Unmanned Pest Control Aircraft Pilot Certificate:
Vector Control Technicians will only be required to take one exam, the Vector Control Technician (VCT) Pilot Exam
All test questions will be from the Pest Control Aircraft Pilot Study Guide here
Pilots need to fill out application packet here and submit copies of their Gold Card, 107/137 or COA
Applications must be postmarked by the final postmark date which are listed on the link below under CA DPR exam schedule
CA DPR is going to offer a special test day for UAS Operators on August 15, 2019 at their Sacramento location
