Founded in 1996, the Pest Management Professional (PMP) Hall of Fame has had a proud tradition of shining a spotlight on industry pioneers. From the first class of inductees in 1997 to the current Class of 2022, these men and women have helped shape the professionalism of the industry. Whether it was through education, marketing, technology, advocacy, or a combination thereof, we would not be where we are today without their contributions.
This year’s class exemplifies this concept, as you’ll see in their profiles on the following pages. The PMP staff will induct the class in Boston, Mass., on Oct. 10, the evening before the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) begins its PestWorld 2022 event. The dinner and induction ceremony are once again a black-tie event, but for the first time ever, tickets are available for anyone in the industry to purchase and attend. Learn more about the Class of 2022 inductees as well as members from previous years, purchase tickets, how to nominate someone for consideration for the next class, and more at pmphalloffame.net.
