VPMA 4 x 4 Happy Hour - Central Virginia
River City Roll, 939 Myers St., Richmond, VA 23230
VPMA is bringing members together across the Commonwealth through a new series of Social 4x4 happy hours, hosted in the four main regions of the state: Central Virginia, Northern Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Tidewater. These casual gatherings are a chance for PMPs to connect with colleagues, enjoy some good old-fashioned camaraderie, and spend time with VPMA leadership in their own neck of the woods. Owners and managers are encouraged to bring their crews and let VPMA treat them to a brew while we share more about what the association is doing to support and strengthen Virginia’s pest management industry. The Central Virginia happy hour will be held on September 16, with additional Social 4x4 events planned for Northern Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Tidewater. Any one connected to the pest management industry is welcome! Just RSVP so we’ll have a good head-count to ensure we have enough munchies on hand!

VPMA Advocacy Update:
Defending Science-Based Pesticide Regulation in Virginia
House Bill 1375, which proposed banning the herbicide paraquat in Virginia, was continued during the 2026 General Assembly session following testimony and opposition from industry stakeholders, including the Virginia Pest Management Association (VPMA). VPMA advocated for maintaining the Commonwealth’s science-based pesticide regulatory system, emphasizing that pesticide safety decisions should remain under the authority of the EPA and VDACS through established scientific review processes.
