In addition to serving as Illinois’ State Policy Affairs Representative (SPAR), Haggerty spends significant time in Springfield, Illinois' capital, protecting the pest control industry from damaging legislation year after year.

He also serves on the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) Board of Directors, as president of the Illinois Pest Control Association and on the Illinois Structural Pest Control Advisory Council

The FMC Legislative Day Award is presented annually to individuals who have distinguished themselves in the pest management industry through various activities — particularly legislative involvement — and through their contributions to advancing the industry.
