The Business Development Committee's mission is to advance the growth and success of NPMA member businesses by serving as a resource for best practices, providing business-related tools and reference information, and providing peer and industry benchmarks for measuring performance.

The Canine Insect Detection Division provides guidance to members of NPMA who own or are interested in using canines to detect insects. Historically used to detect termites in structures, canines are now being used to detect bed bugs. The Steering Committee of this division is solely composed of PMPs and is advised by trainers and university researchers. Started in 2009, this Division will act as the source of credible information for active members of NPMA.

The Government Affairs Committee helps formulate public policy positions and develops strategy to implement such positions. Members also work with NPMA staff to track federal, state, and local legislative and regulatory proposals that could impact the pest control industry.
