FAIRFAX, Va. — The Professional Women in Pest Management group, a part of the National Pest Management Association, is raising money for its annual Scholarship Fund.
Based on the funds raised thus far, PWIPM says, the group is anticipating a record-breaking year that will continue to allow PWIPM to offer its annual scholarship at its maximum allowance ($2,500/year).
The PWIPM scholarship is awarded to at least one female interested in advancing or securing a career in the pest management industry. The scholarship may be used by the recipient to defer costs related to advancing their education and/or career in the pest management industry. The scholarship recipient will be awarded a minimum of $1,000 plus $500 towards travel expenses to attend NPMA’s annual convention and exposition, PestWorld.
PWIPM will be selling raffle tickets at PestWorld 2007, Oct. 17-20 in Orlando, Fla., with the prize winner taking home a piece of Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Raffle tickets are $10 each and for $100 you get 12 tickets and a pink bracelet showing your support for PWIPM. For donations of $250 you will receive 25 tickets, the pink PWIPM bracelet and the new PWIPM lapel pin.
