News and Notes from the LPMA

NPMA NATIONAL CONVENTION: We are very excited that the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is holding its national convention in New Orleans Convention Center in October. Since our own member, Laura Simpson of Dugas Pest Control in Baton Rouge, is the President-Elect for this organization, we would like to have a big turn-out from Louisiana. NPMA has gone out of their way to help make this as easy as possible. Thursday, October 20 has been designated “Louisiana Day”. For a special one day rate, members from Louisiana may attend the convention.

Proposed By Law Change

This proposed change is to provide continuity and consistency in the leadership of the Greater Baton Rouge Pest Control Association by implementing a succession plan for the office of President. This proposed change is patterned after the succession plan of other organizations such as the LPMA and the NPMA. We will vote on the proposed by-law change at our next general meeting on July 20th, 2010. We will send notification about the meeting location in a separate mailing.
