Education Committee Each year pest management technicians and owners gather for the Great Smoky Mountain Conference for classes and continuing education. Our Education Committee plans the classes and sessions for that event. Working in partnership with the Board of Directors, the Education Committee selects the speakers and topics for the annual meeting. Thanks to this committee, attendees attend classes featuring topics and speakers that are relevant, interesting and educational. To ensure that the topics are timely and current, a diverse group of professionals from all corners of the pest management industry make up this committee.
