National Pest Management Association

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) announced the formation of a member-driven Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force. This task force will help to facilitate discussions on industry needs, and what NPMA can do as an association to assist member companies and the industry in this critical business area. “According to the 2020 US Census data, people who identify as multi-racial increased by 276% from 9 million in 2010 to 33.8 million in 2020.  This data offers a portrait of an increasingly diverse nation and as an industry we need to embrace all people,” stated Scott Steckel, president NPMA.

The application process will close at 11:59 pm ET on November 19.


The Executive Leadership Program (ELP) identifies and trains aspiring association leaders to establish a pipeline of engaged members that represents NPMA’s diverse membership.


Each year, NPMA selects up to 10 participants to go through a two-year curriculum with monthly meetings that prepares them for association leadership. NPMA pairs participants with mentors, sets up monthly conference calls with participants, and helps fund participation in industry events. Participants are expected to attend NPMA board meetings, participate in committees, take advantage of networking and learning activities, work with a mentor and be an ambassador for NPMA throughout the industry.
