The Power of Volunteering: Building a Stronger CAPMA Together

At the heart of the California Pest Management Association (CAPMA) is a shared commitment to advancing our industry, supporting our members, and protecting the communities we serve. While our programs, events, and advocacy efforts are vital to fulfilling our mission, none of it would be possible without one key ingredient—volunteers.

Why Volunteering Matters
I truly believe that volunteers are the lifeblood of CAPMA. They bring fresh perspectives, diverse skills, and an unwavering dedication that will help our association grow stronger year after year. From planning and participating in events like the Best Pest Expo to shaping policy positions and mentoring the next generation of pest management professionals, our volunteers can create a ripple effect that benefits the entire industry.

When members give their time and expertise, they help set the tone for our collective success. An engaged membership base means better Districts, effective committees, stronger representation, and more value for everyone.

Personal and Professional Benefits
Volunteering with CAPMA isn’t just about giving back, it’s also about personal growth and professional development. Members who get involved often:

• Expand their network by building lasting relationships with peers, vendors, and industry leaders.
• Strengthen leadership skills by serving on committees or District roles.
• Gain industry insight through close collaboration with experts and exposure to new ideas.
• Enhance their reputation as someone invested in the profession and community.

How You Can Get Involved
Whether you have a few hours a month or just a couple of days a year, there’s a place for you in CAPMA’s network. Opportunities range from short-term event assistance to year-long committee service. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

Volunteering isn’t about filling a role, it’s about making an impact. Your skills, passion, and voice matter. Together, we can ensure CAPMA continues to thrive and lead the way in promoting professionalism in pest management.
