St. Louis, MO - The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance (TPSA) held its annual conference in February and presented the 2025 Outstanding Member Award to Melissa Rosch, Office of Indiana State Chemist. The award is presented to a TPSA member who has made significant contributions to the alliance and its growth.
Melissa understands service and is an individual who embodies the characteristics of leadership. She gives tirelessly of herself above and beyond what anyone would expect in terms of industry knowledge, service, encouragement, and inspiration. Collaboration and team spirit are second nature.
Melissa possesses courage and vision for something greater in her current role as a Pesticide Inspector at the Office of Indiana State Chemist.
She works to build compassionate, service-based leadership that nurtures our industry and can be seen at industry conferences such as TPSA and AAPCO meetings soaking in the latest knowledge, while hammering away on her laptop serving in some role to make our industry better, such as disseminating attendee survey results to conference speakers.
Melissa is team player who provides a lesson in honor, integrity, loyalty, respect, empathy, motivation, duty, and service. Her membership in TPSA for over six years set an example as she served on the planning committee, performed annual member surveys, and served on the Board of Directors as a member at large.
The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance (TPSA), founded in 2000, is an organization of federal, state, and local governmental agencies, educational and research institutions, public organizations, private corporations, and individuals that are actively involved in various aspects of pesticide stewardship. The goals of TPSA are to increase the effectiveness, efficiency and longevity of various pesticide stewardship efforts.
Please check the TPSA web site for more information. The 2026 Pesticide Stewardship Conference is scheduled for February 4-6 in Charleston, South Carolina.
