“I’d like to personally thank the PWIPM and NPMA for the opportunity to further my career in the field by granting me the funds to take my ACE-I exam. This grant allowed me the opportunity to fund the requirements to take my ACE-I and infinite support that encouraged me to achieve my goals. This has been a surreal experience and has helped me plant my feet as a solid and confident pest management professional.”
