THE POWERHOUSE BEHIND WIPM: AN AWARD-WINNING COMMITTEE

The success of any association is often attributed to the strength and dedication of its leadership. In the case of Women in Pest Management (WIPM), the credit goes to an exceptional, award-winning committee. This dynamic team of ten leaders, each with their unique industry and business accolades, has been the driving force behind the organisation's remarkable achievements.

The collective experience and expertise of these ten committee members have been instrumental in shaping WIPM's vision and strategies. Their individual accomplishments, ranging from industry awards to business recognitions, have contributed to an outstanding leadership team that is second to none.

Under their guidance, WIPM has made significant strides in promoting diversity and inclusion in the pest management industry. Their most recent accomplishment was the successful organisation of the 2023 WIPM Recognition Awards. With over 100 nominations, 17 finalists, and 5 winners, the event was a testament to the committee's dedication and hard work.
