President's Message: Pat Lynch, BCE

President's Message: Pat Lynch, BCE

As PestWorld approaches, I’m looking forward to seeing so many of our UPFDA members in Orlando at PestWorld for what is always the busiest—and most exciting—event of the year for the pest management industry.

We all know how much energy goes into being “on” for our customers throughout the week, but I encourage you to take a moment to step away from the show floor and join your peers at the UPFDA events on October 22. It’s a valuable opportunity to reconnect, share ideas, and strengthen the relationships that make our organization—and our industry—so strong.

I look forward to seeing you there! In the meantime, click below to take a look at our new website.

Warm regards,

Pat Lynch
