Mission Statement

The Stanley W. Strew Educational Fund was formed by the California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA), as a means of formally promoting the educational programs that enhance and explain the role of the licensed pest control advisor (PCA) in the production of food, fiber, and ornamental crops. We are using fact-based science programs for the general public to promote understanding of agricultural issues and the perception of agriculture for students pursuing a career in agricultural pest management.
