GREAT WESTERN CONFERENCE 2023



MASTERMINDS

Many talented and competent leaders share similar struggles as you, and they can offer a unique and objective perspective to whatever challenge you’re facing. After all, when it comes to problem solving, two (or more) heads are always better than one.

Join us on the second Thursday of every month from  1:00 pm until 2:00 pm for a peer-to-peer mentoring group where members give their input and advice to help other members grow their business. 

Each month will feature a specific challenge that business owners and top level managers encounter and registration is open and free to all AzPPO members.

Important Info About Disinfection Services

"There is no license category for the use of antimicrobials and disinfectants, nor is there an exam for such products. While such products may be considered (in the legal sense) a pesticide, they are pretty much the same type of products janitorial and custodial workers use; yet, we do not require them to be licensed. In fact, there is an exemption in our laws for those who use such products. Anyone creating a "Covid-19" disinfection service" in Arizona should note that it is not a program that we as an agency have recommended or promoted, anymore than we would of a cleaning company applying disinfectants. However, because disinfectants are classified by EPA to be pesticides, and because we have primacy over the use of a pesticide in Arizona, we will still enforce the laws as it relates to label instructions."

- Vince Craig, Associate Director

Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division

AZPPO EARNS STATEWIDE EDUCATION AWARD

We are excited to announce that AzPPO is the recipient of the 2019 Education Award from Arizona Society of Association Executives (AZSAE), in recognition of our outstanding educational programs. Our organization was honored at the AzSAE 55th Annual Awards Gala and Celebration in December 2019.

AzPPO Has Your Back

AzPPO supported legislation this year that gives the industry a greater voice in the Arizona Department of Agriculture, which is the state agency that regulates our industry. For those not aware, the pest management industry was previously regulated by a commission of individuals that had experience in the industry, supported by professional staff. Today, we are regulated by the Arizona Department of Agriculture. AzPPO feels that the industry, as a whole, has less input in how we are regulated and how the fees we pay are utilized for the regulation of the industry. At the request of AzPPO, Senator Pratt, a Republican from the Casa Grande area, is sponsoring SB 1529. The bill increases the industry’s representation within the Department’s decision-making process on matters impacting the pest management profession.
