Ralph Killough helped develop training policies to benefit the pest management industry. In 1987, Ralph helped start the Wood Destroying Insects Report (WDIR) Committee, which now provides accreditation to WDIR inspectors in the state. Dedicated to training and educating his own employees, Ralph developed a manual of company policies and procedures known as United We Stand for his own company which was adopted by the association for statewide implementation in 1994. The United We Stand manual written by Ralph inspired a two-day business seminar for owners and managers to help assist in their business operations, consumer relations and sales/technician training.
