DuPont Announces Sponsorship of NPMA Conferences

WILMINGTON, Del. – DuPont Professional Products announced that it is continuing its support of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) by once again sponsoring its regional conferences. This marks the fourth year in a row that DuPont is serving as the presenting sponsor of the NPMA Eastern, Southwestern, Southern and MidAtlantic conferences.

Together, DuPont and the NPMA are committed to the theme of “Thriving in Challenging Times” and are providing educational sessions that help pest management professionals (PMPs) streamline their businesses and get the best return on their investments. Attendees are hearing from top industry speakers about ways to operate smarter and more cost-efficiently.
