The Green Pest Management Summit, June 19, 2008
Presented by Dr. Thomas Green, President of the IPM Institute of North America, the Summit set the standards and criteria for green products and techniques from a science-based, industry-tested, common-sense point of view. The goal of the Summit was to emphasize the role pest management professionals play as protectors of health and the environment, as well as show how to use “green” to increase revenue.
Over 200 cutting-edge professionals attended the Summit eager to access the growing market for green services. Attendees visited over a dozen exhibits by leading manufacturers; earned Green Specialist™ insignia and learned how to attain “Green Shield” certification.
