  There’s still time to register and join us next week at the inaugural Women’s Leadership Forum on November 9-10. We have a great lineup of inspiring speakers who will help shape and educate you on important topics & issues women face in the pest management industry. Along with multiple opportunities to connect with your peers through informal chats, moderated discussions, and even a yoga break! The NPMA Commercial Committee has been communicating regularly with several third-party certification bodies of commercial facilities for the adoption of remote monitoring language into their standards. This partnership and continued dialogue has been very effective, with the announcement of The Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI)’s recent release of their new standard (SQF Code Edition 9) with specific language on remote monitoring devices. You can find the new code here and refer to section 11.2.4 Pest Prevention for specific language on monitoring devices. Heard From the HillLast week the EPA held a meeting of the Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee (PPDC). The PPDC is a Federal Advisory Committee that provides input to the Office of Pesticide Programs on policy issues. NPMA is represented on the committee along with stakeholders from a wide variety of perspectives. The meeting focused on the formation of four working groups – Pesticide Resistance Management, Emerging Agricultural Technologies, Farmworker and Clinician Training, and Emerging Pathogens workgroup. NPMA has requested representation on the Resistance Management workgroup and submitted additional experts for consideration. Additionally, EPA briefed the committee on its recent accomplishments, with specific focus on OPP’s COVID-19 response. View full details, including briefing documents and PowerPoint slides.
