🌟 Nominations Closing Soon: 2026 Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management

The pest management industry is stronger because of the leadership, innovation, and dedication of the women who serve in it every day. The 2026 Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management, presented by NPMA, recognize those outstanding contributions — and nominations close Friday, February 20, 2026.

If you know a colleague, mentor, technician, manager, sales professional, or operations leader who is making a difference, now is the time to ensure her work is celebrated.

Award recipients will be announced on Monday, March 9, 2026, in recognition of International Women’s Day.

Why This Matters to OPCA Members

At OPCA, we believe in recognizing excellence and creating pathways for leadership within our industry. Submitting a nomination is more than filling out a form — it’s an opportunity to:

• Elevate Oregon professionals on a national stage
• Highlight the strength of women in technical, operational, and leadership roles
• Encourage mentorship and industry engagement
• Strengthen representation within the broader pest management community

Recognition at the national level reflects positively on your company, your team, and our industry as a whole.
