NPMA Announces Recipients of 2024 Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management

FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) announced the 92 recipients of their 2024 NPMA Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management. The Impact Awards, awarded for the first time in 2022 and sponsored by FieldRoutes, honor and celebrate exceptional women at all levels within the pest management industry, in any role, including management, technical/service, sales, or office staff.

“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,” said Dominique Stumpf, CEO, NPMA.

Women working in any function at a pest control company were eligible for consideration. This includes technical/service, sales, management, or office staff and nominations were open to individuals from both NPMA member companies, as well as nonmembers.

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.

Recipients will be honored during NPMA’s Women’s Forum, May 7-9 in Atlanta, Ga.
