Governor Deval Patrick recently reappointed Richard Berman to another four year term on the Massachusetts Pesticide Board. Richard has been a Board member, representing the commercial user communities in Massachusetts, since 1992. The Board consists of 13 members, 6 government officials and 7 gubernatorial appointees. The Board makes pesticide public policy, registers pesticides and advises the Department of Agricultural Resources, the agency that regulates pesticide use in the state. Richard is Technical Services & Quality Control Director for Waltham Services.

While the position Richard fills is desginated by law to give commercial regulated groups like lawncare, landscaping, arborists and others a voice in making public policy, Richard also represents and speaks on behalf of the environment and all residents of the Commonwealth. Richard can be contacted direct by calling 781-893-3152 (ext 321) and can answer questions regarding pesticides, regulations and licensure.  Richard is interested in hearing opinions from others regarding pesticides and related issues as well and would welcome these calls.
