A UNIFIED INDUSTRY

WORKING TOWARD

A COMMON GOAL

Nearly every key issue affecting one part of the Specialty Pesticide

Industry affects the entire industry.

RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment) is bringing

industry leaders together to identify critical public issues and

legislation, and address them as a unified body:

We're proud of our industry's commitment to enhancing and

preserving the environment. And we're committed to educating policymakers

and the public about the environmental, health and safety

benefits of proper pesticide use.

A wide variety of companies and organizations are already members

of RISE, and have contributed to successes like we enjoyed recently in

~ Missoula, Montana, which demonstrates the industry is

~ able to work constructively with local government bodies.

If you're a manufacturer, formulator, distributor, supplier or associa-

tion involved with the use of specialty pesticides, we invite you to join RISE

and participate in our future successes.
