Sprague Pest Solutions announces the establishment of the Denver chapter of the Professional Women in Pest Management (PWIPM) organized with help from three women from Sprague’s Denver team: Edna Alfaro Inocente, Regional Entomologist; Mary Whitman, Branch Administrative Coordinator; and Jessicah Nelson, Route Manager. The PWIPM is an affiliate group of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) whose mission is to attract, develop, and support women in the industry through educational programs, resources, and peer networking. Special thanks to industry suppliers Veseris, Forshaw, and ENVU for providing funding and support for the new chapter. The group started its activities in January this year and held their first in-person meeting in June at Sprague’s Denver branch. “It’s important for PWIPM to have local chapters so geographically it’s easier for women in the pest management industry to connect,” said Mickey Thomas, NPMA PWIPM committee chair. “Starting local chapters like the one in Colorado also makes it easier to get involved on a local level and support the communities where we work and live.”
