NPMA Announces Dues Restructuring

FAIRFAX, Va. — The Board of Directors of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) on Saturday voted to accept a large-scale sustainable platform for the future of the Association including a dues restructuring proposal developed by an appointed Blue Ribbon Task Force. 

During the May 2016 industry strategic planning summit, nicknamed “P3”, industry leaders identified assessing the NPMA membership dues structure as a high priority to ensure the future of the association. The dues structure had not been tackled for over 20 years.  The specific tasks outlined during the summit were to analyze, assess and develop a fair, transparent and equitable dues structure to ensure a healthy NPMA now and into the future.  

“The goal of the Task Force was to create a climate of trust within the membership, ensuring fairness, transparency, and equitability,” said Chuck Tindol, past-president of NPMA.  “To ensure that all voices within the membership categories were heard and had a voice in the results, I appointed this 15-member blue ribbon task force comprised of representatives of all stakeholders, including large companies, small companies, joint and standard states and large joint state affiliates.”

“We’ve been diligent in our work, conducting a comprehensive review to ensure that NPMA’s future will continue to be bright,” stated Bobby Jenkins, chairman of the Blue Ribbon Task Force.  “We are very pleased that the NPMA board of directors has approved this path forward.”
