As part of its mission, NPMA’s Leadership Development Group is committed to honoring those companies that have made a real contribution to their community. NPMA Gives is a business recognition program designed to showcase the charitable donations, programs and time contributed by our member companies to their communities. We are soliciting nominations for the NPMA Gives Award to recognize an NPMA member company that has demonstrated leadership through their dedication and contribution to the good of their community. Such contributions are demonstrated through carrying out and/or participating in community service projects. These projects may be industry related (complimentary pest control for at risk environments, etc.), or non-industry related (walk/run, raising funds for the community, blood drives). The entry must demonstrate the company's consistency over a minimum of a three-year period. Nominations are due June 30, 2018 and will be awarded at NPMA’s Academy in July. If you know of any companies that should receive this award, please complete the nomination form.

She will share how she transformed her cleaning company after 75% of her workforce quit on the spot. Funny, bold and brutally honest, Kristen challenges traditional approaches to leadership and culture with a simple premise: The work that we do doesn’t matter; it’s how we make people feel while they’re doing that work that makes all the difference.
