NPMA Announces Recipients of 2026 Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management
One Hundred and Eight Women Honored as Part of Women’s History Month
NPMA announced today the one hundred and eight recipients of their 2026 NPMA Impact Awards for Women in Pest Management. The Impact Awards, sponsored by FieldRoutes, honor and celebrate exceptional women at all levels within the pest management industry, in any role, including management, technical/service, sales, or office staff.
"We're thrilled to honor these 108 remarkable women in our industry as we celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month. The overwhelming response to our call for nominations reflects the extraordinary impact women continue to make in our field — and the growing recognition of their influence. We look forward to celebrating their inspiring stories and the significant contributions that continue to shape and advance our industry," said Dominique Stumpf, CEO, NPMA.
Women working in any function at a pest control company were eligible for consideration. This includes technical/service, sales, management, or office staff and nominations were open to individuals from both NPMA member companies, as well as nonmembers. NPMA encouraged nominations from anyone who has a professional relationship with a potential nominee, as well as nominations of individuals who have received state, local, or other industry-specific recognition. Each nomination was considered based on the merits of information included in the submissions.
Recipients will be honored during NPMA’s Women’s Forum, May 19-21, in Charlotte, NC.
