Philadelphia - FMC Corporation's Specialty Products Business will once again show its support of the pest management industry as the premier sponsor of the 16th annual NPMA Legislative Day, announced director Don Claus.
"Legislative Day continues to be the single most important event in our industry," said Claus, "and we are proud to sponsor an event of this magnitude that helps preserve the future of our industry." Legislative Day will be held Feb. 24-25 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in the Washington, D.C., metro area. This two-day event provides a forum for pest management professionals from across the country to meet with legislators to discuss laws and regulations governing the industry.
Scheduled to speak this year are Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC talk show Hardball and NBC's The Chris Matthews Show; Karen Hughes, former White House communications director and counsel to President George W. Bush; and Jay Carney, award-winning congressional reporter for Time magazine and CNN. Also invited to speak is the Honorable Dennis Hastert, the speaker of the house.
Last year, despite travel concerns, almost 400 industry representatives participated in Legislative Day. This year's attendance is expected to return to levels achieved in 2001, although indications point towards the potential for record-breaking attendance levels according to Bob Rosenberg, director of government affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). "Legislative Day, which has grown from just 35 participants 16 years ago, is a wonderful opportunity for key pest management professionals, distributors and manufacturers to join together to promote the political agenda of the pest management industry," Claus said.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pa., FMC Specialty Products Business is a leading manufacturer of high-performance termiticides, termite baits, insecticides, miticides and ant control products for use by the golf course, lawn care and structural pest control markets. Specialty Products Business is an integrated solutions provider, offering the SMARTRAK® Series of Software Solutions that help take care of the business of pest management.
