DuPont Sponsors NPMA Conferences to Address “Thriving in Challenging Times”
WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 27, 2009 – DuPont Professional Products is proud to announce that it is continuing its support of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) by once again sponsoring its regional conferences. This marks the fourth year in a row that DuPont is serving as the presenting sponsor of the NPMA Eastern, Southwestern, Southern and MidAtlantic conferences.
Together, DuPont and the NPMA are committed to the theme of “Thriving in Challenging Times” and are providing educational sessions that help pest management professionals (PMPs) streamline their businesses and get the best return on their investments. Attendees are hearing from top industry speakers about ways to operate smarter and more cost-efficiently.

“We are thrilled to continue our long-term support of the NPMA and believe that now, more than ever, PMPs need to gain the advice and business strategies that will help them survive and succeed in these times,” said Mike McDermott, global business leader -- DuPont Professional Products. “Our hope is that PMPs will make connections with both old and new friends, and hear new ideas that they can use right away to protect and grow their businesses.”
