The Fairfax, Va.-based National Pest Management Association (NPMA) selected the Executive Leadership Program (ELP) Class of 2020. The program is designed to prepare pest management professionals (PMPs) for association leadership roles and develop successful industry ambassadors.
“As proven with the previous three ELP classes, the curriculum presents a fantastic opportunity for these aspiring association leaders to grow professionally and personally,” says NPMA CEO Dominique Stumpf, CMP, CAE. “In turn, NPMA benefits by hearing fresh perspectives and establishing a pipeline of engaged members. It’s truly a win-win situation. I look forward to working with this new group of participants, and witnessing their many successes for years to come.”
The 10 candidates were selected by a group of judges represented by NPMA’s Diversity Committee, Leadership Development Group, previous ELP mentors, and the NPMA Board of Directors. Applicants were selected through a rigorous application process based on broad criteria, which accounted for leadership potential, industry participation and commitment to professional development, among other factors.
