NORCROSS, GA — The Georgia Pest Control Association (GPCA) welcomed a new slate of executive officers for 2017-2018. The officers were sworn in during the 2017 GPCA Summer Conference in Palm Coast, Fla.
 
The new officers include President, Roger Lemaster of Cook’s Pest Control, Rome; Vice President, Stuart Sinyard of Adams Exterminators in Albany; Secretary/Treasurer, Garry Adams of Northwest Exterminating in Marietta; and Chairman of the Board, Randy Martin of HomeTec Exterminating in Alpharetta.
 
The officers will serve a one-year term ending July 2018.  Each of the executive officers has served previous terms on the board of directors and has been active in board committees.

BURNETT SCHOLARSHIPS. GPCA also announced that six talented recipients will receive a scholarship from the Georgia Pest Control Association scholarship fund. The students are children of GPCA members representing pest control companies throughout Georgia.  

In 1986, GPCA honored Glenn Burnett by establishing a member scholarship in his name.    Mr. Burnett served as Executive Director for GPCA for almost 20 years.  Since the inception, GPCA has awarded $117,000 to our member’s children

Totally funded by a share of the proceeds from the annual charity golf tournament, the scholarship has grown in recent years.  The students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship.  All are entering freshmen.
