NPMA Selects 92 For Impact Awards For Women In Pest Management

Ninety-two women have been selected by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) as recipients of its 2024 NPMA Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management.

The recipients were notified Friday, on International Women's Day, and they will be honored at the NPMA's Women's Forum May 7-9 in Atlanta, GA.

FieldRoutes sponsors the Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management.

The awards celebrate exceptional women at all levels within the pest management industry, in any role, including management, technical/service, and sales or office staff, according to an NPMA news release.

“What better way to recognize International Women’s Day than to honor these amazing women in our industry," Dominique Stumpf, the chief executive officer of NPMA, said in a news release. "The record-breaking response to our call for nominations was overwhelming, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to celebrate their incredible stories and the achievements that each has brought to our field."

NPMA encouraged nominations from anyone who has a professional relationship with a potential nominee, as well as nominations of individuals who have received state, local, or other industry-specific recognition. Each nomination was considered based on the merits of information included in the submissions.
