Board of Directors
The Minnesota Pest Management Association (MPMA) is the voice of the structural pest management industry in Minnesota. With over 200 companies and over 1000 licensed and certified applicators in the state, MPMA is the sole association advocating for the industry, including its member companies, vendor partners, and associate members. MPMA is dedicated to promoting professionalism within the industry and works closely with state regulators, such as the Department of Agriculture, while also educating state legislators about the industry's role in safeguarding public health and well-being in Minnesota.
The MPMA is led by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board meets on a quarterly basis throughout the year to plan the Association’s educational, regulatory, and networking events.
The Board is comprised of a broad spectrum of industry professionals including those who operate family businesses, and representatives of larger regional and national companies. The Board of Director
Meetings include individuals such as industry related entomologists from the University of Minnesota and representatives of the pesticide certification and management program from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. In addition, vendors are invited to attend the MPMA Board of Director meetings.
The Board is always open to new opinions and ideas. If you are an MPMA Member and would like to be considered for nomination to the MPMA Board of Directors, please contact MPMA President Rob Greer via email at robg@rovepc.com.
