We are so thrilled to tell you that the GPCA Burnett Scholarship committee has met. We received 12 applications from 12 fantastic people. They all met the qualifications so the committee had to work down the list of decision-making criteria to make their decision, i.e. Freshmen have priority over other class status, etc.
And the winners are: (listed alphabetically by company)

- Alexandra Arnold, Allgood Pest Solutions
- Luke Tindol, Allgood Pest Solutions

Wood Destroying Organism Required?
In the 2010 Georgia General Assembly, GPCA introduced HB 1048 which would require a WDO inspection when property is sold. The legislation successfully passed out of the House Ag & Consumer Affairs Committee but stayed in House Rules. GPCA and the Georgia Association of Realtors agreed to work toward an agreeable solution – short of a state law – to this consumer protection issue.
By early next fall, it should become evident if some workable plan is feasible. If not, GPCA will reintroduce legislation that would require this essential inspection. |
