Hi, everyone -

I wanted to share a link for an IPM Tool Kit recently developed by the
Boston Public Health Commission.  While this Kit was developed for
managers and owners of affordable housing, it contains useful info for
structural IPM programs in other settings.  This new resource is clearly
and concisely written, and provides a wealth of practical guidance for
launching and maintaining an effective IPM program...

Key item covered include:

  Setting up an IPM team
  Developing an IPM policy
  Model IPM bid specifications
  Finding an IPM contractor
  Developing an action plan
  Roles and responsibilities for key players
  Record-keeping
  Program performance review

The Kit also includes various sample forms; leads on where to go for
more information for managers, educational information for residents;
and info on training and education for building personnel.
