Pest management associations from across the globe meet at PestWorld

During its recent annual convention, PestWorld, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) hosted a meeting of the Global Pest Management Coalition to discuss the structure of the organization and its focus areas for the coming year.

Pest Coalition at Pest World

The mission of the Coalition is to provide a unified voice across the globe promoting the value of pest management in ensuring the protection of health, home, food and businesses. Its purpose is to share knowledge, ensure consistency in messaging to members and the public, elevate professionalism, and harmonize efforts across the globe.

The Global Coalition participants used the opportunity at this meeting to discuss structure, funding, and strategy for moving forward. Ultimately, the Coalition will drive collaboration among global pest management associations in achieving our common goals - particularly those involving the protection of public health and property.
