VPMA Welcomes a New Board During the State Technical Meeting

The Virginia Pest Management Association (VPMA) held its fall elections to finalize its voluntary Board of Directors. The results were announced at the Membership Meeting, held in conjunction with the State Technical Meeting, where the newly elected Board was officially installed.

President John Reid expressed gratitude to outgoing Board members Justin Kendall, ACE, (At Large Director), Josh Lush (Central Regional Director), and Dan Dore (Southwest Regional Director) for their dedication and valuable contributions throughout their terms.

Filling their seats, Brett Lieberman of My Pest Pros was elected as a Director, and Jeff Zalinski will serve as the Central Virginia Regional Director. Unfortunately, the Southwest Virginia Director seat remains vacant. The Board is actively seeking a representative from this region and will appoint a qualified individual to the role. Additionally, Ron Gaskill successfully ran for re-election and will continue his role, bringing his expertise in policy and legislative matters as VPMA’s State Policy Affairs Representative (SPAR).

VPMA thanks all its Directors, past and present, for their commitment to advancing the pest management industry in Virginia.
