Senior Vice President,
National Pest Management Association
As Senior Vice President for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), Bob Rosenberg is responsible for advocating the pest management industry's interests on federal, state and local legislative and regulatory issues.
The hallmark of Rosenberg's legislative and regulatory efforts has been to promote responsible, progressive legislation and regulations that advance the professionalism of the industry and promote environmentally responsible policy. Examples include increased training for pesticide applicators, promoting the use of reduced-risk integrated pest management (IPM) and enhanced public right-to-know.
Rosenberg has served on numerous boards and was appointed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to sit on various federal advisory committees, including the Pesticide Program Dialog Committee, the Committee to Advise on Reassessment and Transition, the Tolerance Reassessment Advisory Committee and the Rodenticide Stakeholders Workgroup.
Rosenberg is often quoted in the national print media, and can be seen in television interviews as the spokesperson for NPMA with regard to legislative and regulatory issues.
Rosenberg is well-known and respected within various segments of the nonprofit sector. Prior to joining NPMA in 1989, he served for eight years as the Director of the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, which regulates all aspects of the state's horse racing, dog racing and jai-alai industries.
Rosenberg has a bachelor's degree in marketing and economics from the University of Florida and graduate degrees from Florida State University and the University of Chicago, in government and political science, respectively. In addition, he graduated from Duke University's "Top State Managers Executive Education Program."
