“After an exhaustive search for a new executive, we are pleased to bring Allen Fugler on board," Nolen says. "The search committee found him to have a unique skill set and superb qualifications that make him an excellent fit for the position.”
Mr. Fugler began his career in the pest control industry in 1991 as the Executive Director of the Louisiana Pest Control Association (LPCA) after earning a bachelor’s degree in Journalism/Advertising from Louisiana State University in 1986.
He was an integral part in the growth of LPCA by managing all phases of the not-for-profit, state-wide association including financial planning, educational classes, media relations, publication editing, regulatory and legislative affairs.
He built a strong relationship with the National Pest Management Association and has supported their legislative agendas with participation at NPMA’s Legislative Day and through LPCA’s publications.
Before joining FPMA, Fugler worked for Louisiana Insurance Pest Control Association (LIPCA) since 1997 as the Vice President of Marketing. With LIPCA he gained experience in supervising and managing marketing personnel, database development and maintenance and maximizing company revenue.
Mr. Fugler’s goal is to guide the educational, regulatory and legislative affairs of the pest control industry as they impact its long-term economic viability and affect public policy and perception.
