The group will discuss the role of home health professionals in spreading information on safe and effective pest management and local and national resources available to address IPM in multi-family housing.
The second session will address the topic of IPM training and green job skills development. It will feature a presentation from the IPM Job Skills Training Team and their work with Resources for Human Development, Partnership for Employment Program in Philadelphia. Employers, and their newly trained employees who benefited from this program, will be in attendance to discuss their experiences and answer questions from the audience.
The final session, a Bed Bug IPM update, will feature guest speaker Jody Gangloff Kaufmann of Cornell University. She will be speaking on bed bug prevention and management in group-living facilities and shelters.
