YOUR ASSOCIATION
Voting has officially opened in the BPCA Member Elections 2025, with 13 nominees standing for SIX open seats on the Executive Board.
We recently advertised vacancies for four volunteer Member Representative Board members. However, due to the overwhelming response, we've increased this to SIX open vacancies.
Full members of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) now have the opportunity to help shape the future of their Association by electing fellow members to these influential leadership positions.
Each company receives an equal opportunity to choose the Association’s leadership, ensuring that BPCA is always run by members, for members.
Lorraine Norton, BPCA Company Secretary and Operations Manager, said:
“We’ve had loads of interest in director vacancies this year, and I’m pleased that we have 13 eligible candidates going to a member vote.
It’s a big commitment to be a BPCA Board Director. You play a key role in shaping the direction of the Association and ensuring that member voices are heard far and wide. Directors give up a minimum of ten working days a year attending and preparing for Board meetings and making decisions on your behalf, so please take a moment to learn about the candidates and cast your vote wisely”.
Lorraine Norton, BPCA Company Secretary and Operations Manager
