President's Message from Kevin Poland

Dear Members,

It is with great gratitude and enthusiasm that I accept the honor of serving as President of the Maryland State Pest Control Association. This organization has been a cornerstone for fostering growth, collaboration, and excellence in our industry, and I am humbled to have the opportunity to build on its remarkable legacy.

As we look ahead, I am optimistic about the future of our industry. Together, we face challenges with resilience, embrace innovation, and set ever-higher standards for the communities we serve. The potential for growth—both for our businesses and for this association—is limitless when we come together as engaged and dedicated professionals.

This year, I encourage each of you to participate in new and exciting ways. While our credentialed events remain vital, we’re eager to expand opportunities for connection, education, and collaboration through fresh initiatives. Whether it’s attending a networking event, sharing insights with your peers, or contributing to industry discussions, your involvement makes a real difference.

In the coming months, you’ll notice personalized emails from the association reaching out to better understand how we can serve you. Your feedback will be invaluable as we explore how to grow, adapt, and provide even greater value to our members. I urge you to take a moment to share your thoughts when these messages arrive.

Together, we have the power to strengthen not just our association, but the entire pest management industry in Maryland. Thank you for entrusting me with this leadership role. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we continue to make an impact.

Here’s to a successful year ahead!

Sincerely,
Kevin Poland
President, Maryland State Pest Control Association
