The Power of Participation: Why Volunteering with CAPMA Matters

In every thriving professional association, volunteers are the lifeblood that fuels progress, innovation, and a sense of shared purpose. At CAPMA, our volunteers help shape the future of the pest management profession by providing leadership, mentorship, and connection that benefits both individuals and the industry at large.

Volunteering with CAPMA isn’t just about filling a seat or checking a box. It’s about making a difference. Whether you're serving on a committee, helping plan events, sharing your expertise in educational or training sessions, or lending your skills behind the scenes, your time and talent directly impact the quality and strength of our programs, resources, and advocacy efforts.

Professional Growth Through Giving Back

Volunteering with CAPMA is a strategic way to grow professionally. It opens the door to leadership development, networking opportunities, and hands-on experience that can’t always be found in the day-to-day of your regular work. Serving alongside peers from across the state introduces you to diverse perspectives, fosters collaboration, and sharpens your ability to lead and influence within and beyond your company.

A Stronger Industry Starts with You

Volunteering also strengthens the pest management industry as a whole. Our association relies on member involvement to remain responsive to challenges, regulations, and emerging trends. Volunteers help identify and prioritize the issues that matter most to our members, ensuring CAPMA remains a relevant and effective voice in Sacramento and beyond.

Additionally, when members step up to support their Districts or serve on a Committee, they help keep CAPMA grounded in real regional and local concerns. This direct involvement ensures our programming, communications, and advocacy reflect the day-to-day realities of professionals across California.

Make Your Mark at the September Expo

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to get involved, the CAPMA Expo this September is the perfect place to start. Volunteers are needed to help with registration, session support, and logistics. Whether you have a couple hours to spare or want to be involved throughout the event, your participation will help make this year’s Expo a success.

To learn more or sign up, visit www.capma.org or contact the CAPMA office. Your involvement—big or small—helps strengthen our association and move our industry forward.

Together, we can continue building a strong, connected, and forward-thinking association—one volunteer at a time.
