CALGARY — The Professional Women in Pest Management (PWIPM) meeting was held on March 7, in Calgary in conjunction with Pest Management Canada, an annual conference hosted this year by the Canadian Pest Management Association and the Pest Management Association of Alberta.
The meeting was held on the eve of International Women’s Day and sponsored by Gardex Chemicals, a leading distributor of products and equipment to the industry.
“It is our pleasure to honor the women in pest control and it’s amazing to see the number of women in the industry from when I started,” said Gardex Chemicals President Karen Furgiuele.
“Gardex has sponsored the organization for the past two years and plans to continue in this role in the future,” added Furgiuele, who urged women in the industry to start provincial chapters of PWIPM. “This will help create a community in our industry,” she said.
