It’s Giving Tuesday! Right now is the perfect opportunity to give back to your industry.

The Pest Management Foundation has funded research, education, and outreach that has shaped the way pest control work is done today. None of it would have been possible without generous donations from pest management professionals like you.

NPMA members who pledge their support of the Workforce Development Program at the Founders Club, Patrons Club, or Suppliers Club levels receive increased benefits including additional complimentary job posting packages, exclusive recruitment resources, special recognition at NPMA events, and more.

NPMA staff have continued meeting with key stakeholders on Capitol Hill, including staff from both the House and Senate Agriculture committees. We started off our week by meeting with Rep. Don Bacon’s (NE-2) office, who sits on the House Agriculture committee and cosponsored HR 7226 (Rep. Rodney Davis’ standalone pesticide preemption bill). We wrapped up the week with a quick check-in with Rep. Mayra Flores’ (TX-34) office (lost reelection), during which we introduced ourselves to an outgoing member of Rep. Flores’ team who expressed interest in being helpful in her new role with another member of the Texas delegation. During both of these meetings, NPMA provided staff with background on our pesticide preemption efforts to-date, and socialized the importance of including state-level pesticide preemption in the 2023 Farm Bill.

Join NPMA and the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) for an educational program that will provide both technical and business-related information to professionals who are involved in wildlife management or are considering offering this valuable add-on service.

The program combines training and education with networking opportunities and the chance to check out the newest products and services in the Exhibit Hall. Whether you are a large company or a one-man shop, use this opportunity to grow this segment of your business by attending this unique meeting.
