🎤✨ THE WOMEN BEHIND THE MAGIC OF MELODIES THAT MATTER ✨🎤

You saw the music. You saw the competition. You saw an incredible night come together.

But what you didn’t see were the months of conversations, planning, emails, phone calls, ideas, sponsorships, details and behind-the-scenes work that made the 2nd Annual Melodies That Matter fundraiser possible. ❤️

Today, we want to introduce the women behind it all — and the incredible woman whose mission brought us all together. Although a few members couldn’t be with us for the picture, they are very much a part of this team and deserve just as much recognition for all they do. ❤️

✨ Maria Miller — NCPWIPM Chair — ENVU
✨ Suzanne VanDerveer — SCPWIPM Chair — FORSHAW
✨ Nancy Snowdon — Pisgah Pest Control
✨ Sara Sooklall — Lane’s Professional Pest Elimination
✨ Melissa Burke — Gamecock Exterminating
✨ Donna Gross — Corteva
✨ Mary Elizabeth Dowless Fairfax — Strand Termite & Pest Control

And standing with us is Kristi Wells, Founder & CEO of Safe House Project, whose passion and dedication to the fight against child trafficking continues to inspire us. ❤️

Different companies. Different roles. Two PWIPM chapters. One incredible mission. ❤️

Stay tuned… something BIG is coming tomorrow 👀🎉

Join a team of incredible industry leaders on this journey. You won’t be sorry that you invest in YOU! 🙌🏼

‼️REMINDER‼️

🙌🏼Applications are now being accepted for Class VI of Leadership SCPCA.

💙We are thrilled to be planning for the next class of this incredible program. Classes I, II, III, IV and V have made valuable impacts in our association and our industry. Many graduates now hold board, committee and executive leadership roles within SCPCA.

The South Carolina Pest Control Association consistently faces challenges regarding our profession with technology, management practices, training, regulatory changes and customer service.

During this program participants will be exposed to new insights about themselves, others and the world around them in a range of aspects from policy to personality.

The intent of this program is to broaden the perspective of the participants and entrust them to become engaged leaders in the pest control industry. By becoming involved at different levels and understanding the importance of that involvement, the participant will be better prepared to eventually communicate and formulate policy change.

Part of our selection process is to look for those candidates that exhibit leadership qualities and demonstrate potential for long term leadership.

🤩Program Highlights

The program will encompass 3 seminars and a graduaction event, spanning six months. Seminars will be two-day courses and, in some cases, will overlap other industry events at the same location.

The grand result of this experience will help you to prepare as a leader not only for the association in officer roles but as a leader within your own organization.

💙Program Overview
✔️Identify and gain knowledge of the disciplines possessed by great leaders
✔️Create your own personalized leadership development plan
✔️Align your personal development plan with your strengths for maximum personal success
✔️Align your plan with the needs of your organization for maximum business success
