MINNEAPOLIS - MGK announced that entomologist, Cassie Krejci, PhD, has been elected as the president of pest control fraternity Pi Chi Omega. Krejci is the youngest president in the organization’s 71-year history.
Krejci has worked for MGK for three years as a Ph.D. etomologist and technical field specialist, serving the professional, animal health, and consumer pest control markets.
She reflects fondly of her experience as a member of the Pi Chi Omega Board of Directors, “I joined the Pi Chi Omega Board of Directors five years ago and while I knew that I was taking on a new adventure, it has turned out to be so much better than I imagined. The camaraderie among board members when faced with the opportunity to advocate for our industry and the friendship between members as we grow our organization is one that I continue to be amazed by,” Krejci said.
Furthermore, Krejci expresses gratitude over how much the organization has evolved throughout the years, “I have been impressed by the tasks we have accomplished over the last five years – a new website, a social media presence, a new mission statement and goals, Raise the Bar events across the country, and more – and I hope you have been too,” she said. “As President, I hope to continue to help grow Pi Chi Omega into the organization that you want it to be while honoring our history and supporting our organization’s goals for growth.”
Krejci resides outside of College Station, Texas, with her husband, Ryan, and two daughters, Callie (5) and Maren (3).
