Let your voice be heard where it matters most—right in your own region. CAPCA Chapters are the heart of our community, bringing PCAs together for education, networking, and local advocacy. With 15 active Chapters across California, each one offers continuing education (CE) tailored to the crops and concerns of your area, delivered by local experts who understand your region’s unique needs. Chapters are also powerful professional networks—connecting PCAs, independents, growers, sales reps, County Ag Commissioners, and researchers. Beyond CE, they play a vital role in mentoring the next generation of PCAs and funding scholarships for local students. Whether you’re looking to stay current, expand your network, or make a difference in your community, your Chapter is where it all begins.
Ready to take your advocacy to the next level? CAPCA empowers members to engage directly with California’s lawmakers through training and support from our lobbying team. Whether you’re meeting with State Senators or Assemblymembers, we’ll help you speak up for science-based regulation, feasible policies, and the protection of your professional license. Together, we work to preserve access to critical tools in the IPM toolbox—and ensure PCAs have a voice where it matters most: the state Capitol.
CAPCA’s Annual Conference is the premier event in pest management—drawing thousands of PCAs and industry leaders together. It’s where the latest technologies are unveiled, critical issues are discussed, and the networking is second to none. What sets it apart? Gold Standard Continuing Education (CE) that’s trusted by professionals statewide—and recognized as the best in the business. Members also gain exclusive access to CAPCA’s online CE library at CAPCA.com, offering the same high-quality education anytime, anywhere. Whether in person or online, CAPCA delivers the CE that keeps you sharp, current, and licensed.
Membership FAQ
If you notice any courses missing from your record, you can use the “Self-Report CE” button on your CAPCA dashboard to add them. Simply upload a Verification of Attendance, fill in the course details, and the system will take care of the rest.
CAPCA launched the CE Hours Reported platform in 2024 to streamline the process of hosting, attending, and reporting CE hours for both Sponsors and Attendees. While over 300 Sponsors have joined the system, a few have not yet onboarded or have opted not to participate. As a result, some hours may not be automatically displayed.
To address this, we’ve provided the Self-Report CE option for members. We appreciate your patience and encourage you to reach out to Sponsors to support full onboarding.
