The Virginia Pest Management Association (VPMA) named Carley Church, Getem Services, as the inaugural recipient of the VPMA Board Impact Award. The award was presented on Nov. 13, 2024, during Pest Fest, held in conjunction with the State Technical Meeting (STM) in Richmond, Va.

In its 76 years of serving the pest control community across Virginia, VPMA has been shaped by the dedication and contributions of countless board members and volunteer leaders. These individuals have been instrumental in building VPMA into the adaptive and responsive organization it is today. To honor such contributions formally, VPMA established the Board Impact Award.

Church has distinguished herself as a leader within VPMA. Appointed as the Tidewater regional director in May 2024 to fill a vacancy, Carley became both the youngest and newest member of the board.

“Carley’s passion for the pest management industry and her commitment to advancing VPMA’s mission have been nothing short of extraordinary,” said John Reid, VPMA president. “It was my distinct pleasure to present her with the first-ever Board Impact Award and to recognize the significant mark she has already made on our organization.”

Taking on the role of chair of the membership committee, Church seamlessly transitioned into leading the newly formed member/marketing committee. Her leadership was instrumental in implementing an ambitious new marketing plan for VPMA and the STM. This initiative culminated in a remarkable 20 percent increase in attendance at the 2024 State Technical Meeting.
