Vision & Values

Our Vision

To be known as the pest management industry’s premier source for Advocacy, Networking, and Technical & Business Education, or A.N.T. for short.

Our Core Values

FPMA’s core values guide how we serve our members, support Florida’s pest management industry, and make decisions as an association.

  • RELATIONSHIPS
  • PROFESSIONALISM
  • ADVANCED EDUCATION
  • BEST PRACTICES
  • INDUSTRY REPRESENTATION
  • LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
  • INNOVATION

These values guide every FPMA event, meeting, and initiative. They shape how we serve our members, strengthen the pest management industry, and support the professionals who protect Florida’s health, property, and environment.

Why Our Vision and Values Matter to Florida Pest Management Professionals

FPMA’s vision and values are more than words on a page. They guide the work we do on behalf of Florida’s pest management professionals and help keep the association focused on what matters to our members.

From representing the industry and providing education to creating opportunities for members to connect and learn from one another, these principles help shape FPMA’s priorities and programs.

From Core Values to FPMA in Action

FPMA puts these values into practice through advocacy, education, professional development, industry resources, and opportunities for members to build relationships throughout Florida.

Networking Events as a Member Benefit

FPMA events give members opportunities to learn, connect, and stay involved with Florida’s pest management community. From the Business & Operations EXPO and Summer Conference to Legislative Days, the Annual Clay Shooting Tournament, Pests & Pubs, and regional events, members can connect with colleagues from across the state while building relationships that extend beyond the event itself.

Many FPMA events also provide education and CEU opportunities, giving members another way to stay current while connecting with others in the industry.

"Members Get Members (MGM) is how we grow FPMA—our strongest engine isn’t advertising, it’s our own engaged members.

When you introduce a peer to FPMA, you’re not just adding a name to the roster; you’re strengthening our network, elevating our profession, and shaping the future of pest management in Florida.
