Seattle Six

One of the most memorable events of the year is the annual presentation of the 2016 PCT Crown Leadership Awards, sponsored by Syngenta, at NPMA PestWorld.

Now in its 28^th year, the awards spotlight individuals who have contributed positively to the growth and development of the structural pest control industry, as well as established mutually beneficial ties with fellow business leaders, civic groups and customers in their local communities.

The winners were profiled in a special edition of PCT, which was mailed with the October issue. Additionally, the winners’ profiles are online here.
