Heard From the Hill

The 2020-2021 State Policy Affairs Representative (SPAR) term is rapidly coming to a successful end. It is safe to say that the NPMA SPAR program has exceeded expectations in its ability to bolster and defend the structural pest management industry. If it weren’t for this program, there would’ve been countless pesticides banned, more taxes and burdensome regulations eating away at your bottom line, and more Americans vulnerable to dangerous and deadly pests! The SPAR program has manifested itself into a vital element of NPMA’s public policy advocacy apparatus.  


As this SPAR term comes to a close, we formally request that each state’s board of directors nominates one person for SPAR and Vice-SPAR for the 2022 – 2023 SPAR term by October 1, 2021. Click here for full details on the positions and send nominations to Jplevelich@pestworld.org.
