Building on the success of last year's "meeting of the year", NPMA, in conjunction with Bayer Environmental Science, kicked off Good to Great II Wednesday afternoon at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas with over 225 attendees, twice the amount of registered PMPs as last year's meeting.

NPMA has assembled some of the pest control industry’s leading innovators and asked them to share their insights, philosophies, defining moments, successes, and pitfalls that ultimately allowed them to transform their companies from good to great. Good to Great II is a series of “conversations” with open dialogues and the honest answering of information. Attendees are encouraged to maximize their time by networking with their peers, interacting with the speakers and asking questions that are value to them. "Good to Great II is a unique opportunity to learn the necessary strategies and tactics that enable transition, proving once and for all, that great management and great institutions are attainable, says sponsor Steve Burt, Bayer Environmental Science.

Today's presentations included "Better Than Great" with Mark Jarvis, CEO, The Steritech Group, Inc. and "Effectively Connecting with 21st Century Customers Through Marketing" with Tom Walters, Vice President/General Manager, Western Pest Services; and from Hulett Environmental Services, Inc., Tim Hulett, President and Greg Rice, Director of Marketing.

Stay tuned later this week with LIVE updates from Lake Las Vegas including summaries from each day's presentations - something you won't want to miss.
