The Pest Management Foundation has established a new endowed scholarship program spearheaded by the funding of three scholarships available in 2023. Since the program was announced, three scholarships have been fully funded: The Bruce and Evelyn Bowman Scholarship, the New Jersey Pest Management Association Pest Professional Stewardship Scholarship, and the Daniel J & Robert E Klein Scholarship. These scholarships represent a commitment to the development of the next generation of pest management professionals through the support of students pursuing higher education and to those parents and families working in the field. “On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Pest Management Foundation, I am thrilled to see such an overwhelming response to this program. These scholarships will further our mission to advance the industry through education, research, and outreach,” said Alfie Treleven, chair of the Foundation Board of Trustees, and Chair and CEO of Sprague Pest Solutions in Tacoma, WA.
Heard From the HillNPMA and its member companies have been working to better understand the intent of EPA’s PIDs on Rodenticides. We are currently working with the Public Policy Committee to determine if there are alternative, common-sense mitigation strategies that achieve the goals of EPA and minimize the potential burden on the pest management industry. In preparation for the Agency’s Interim Decision, PMPs should be reviewing the definitions of “direct supervision” in the states they operate in to determine if a certified applicator needs to be physically present at the site of the application to apply or supervise the application of RUPs. In states that require onsite supervision, pest management companies should be preparing to “right-size” their certified applicator workforce to meet demand increases caused by the potential classification of rodenticides as RUPs.

Opening General Session Wednesday, October 18, 7:30 AM — 9:00 AM Sebastian is a changemaker, best-selling author, and thought leader. Affected by the death of a close friend, Sebastian Terry had a moment of deep reflection and realized that he was leading a life devoid of passion. In a moment of darkness and uncertainty, he decided to pick up a pen and paper and began to create a list of 100 things that he hoped would bring him closer to a sense of happiness, if not purpose. Dropping everything in his life to pursue each of his 100 goals, Sebastian’s journey has been turned into a best-selling book, a reality TV show, and a platform that inspires people to not only start their own list but support others along the way.
