Join Us for a Meaningful Morning
Join the Washington State Professional Women in Pest Management for the 2027 Steps of Hope Gathering, a family-friendly event dedicated to raising awareness, building community, and supporting survivors of human trafficking.
Pest management professionals, industry partners, families, and friends from across Washington are invited to come together at Marathon Park for a morning of connection, education, and purpose.
Our Industry Can Make a Difference
As in-home service providers, pest management professionals regularly enter homes, businesses, and communities. This gives our industry a unique opportunity to serve as additional eyes and ears by recognizing warning signs and knowing how to appropriately report concerns.
During the gathering, attendees will learn more about human trafficking, how it can appear in everyday environments, and how service professionals may help identify concerning situations.
Supporting the Safe House Project
A dedicated fundraising page will be launched before the event, allowing individuals, companies, families, and supporters to raise funds that will directly benefit the Safe House Project.
Registration fees will help cover the costs of hosting the Steps of Hope Gathering. Any registration revenue remaining after event expenses are paid will also be donated to the Safe House Project.
Event Highlights
- Community gathering with pest management professionals, families, and friends
