NATIONAL JOINT MEMBERSHIP A "NO-BRAINER"

My company has been a member of both PCOC and NPMA for over 35 years. There are definite advantages to joining both organizations, and all members have benefited greatly from both associations.

We currently have the opportunity to join both associations at a greatly reduced price, which is cheap by any measure! A smaller company of five or less employees would only cost an additional $65.00 per year, a savings of over $400.00 off regular NPMA dues! Similar savings occur for all the other dues categories.

This is an "All or Nothing" proposal, and requires your board of directors' approval; otherwise we will not be afforded this opportunity. I urge you to support this great opportunity, and let your local district president and board know you want a national voice as well as a state voice.

Here are some of the benefits of a national association membership:

1. A national legislative and regulatory voice. We work with the EPA, FDA, and many regulators, as well as our legislative advocacy and national legislative day.

2. Full member access to NPMA forms and training materials online, as well as NPMA field guides and other reference guides.

3. Promotional and marketing materials.

4. Technical resources for pest information and many business and compliance items.

5. Regional Educational Conferences and management training.

6. Webinars for quick updates and policy discussions.

7. "Quality Pro" and "Quality Pro Green" certifications.

8. And best of all, the PestWorld convention and trade show. If you have never been to one, make sure to plan to attend. The exhibits and training are incredible. I have attended every convention for about 30 years, and learn a lot every time!

Don't let this opportunity get away! Help us get the most for your association dollar.
