The International Professional Women in Pest Management Leadership Forum is designed to encourage & empower women in the pest management industry through interactive sessions & in-depth discussion about issues impacting women during their career cycle. NPMA is dedicated to creating an environment where these discussions can flourish and allow attendees to be fully invested in their participation and it is our hope that  by late summer we will all see our lives returning to normal as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. With that being said, the International Professional Women in Pest Management Leadership Forum will now be taking place November 8-10, 2020. The conference will still be taking place at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California.
