Nancy Hinkle is the University of Georgia’s Veterinary Entomologist, focusing on insects and mites that affect animals, including livestock, pets, and wildlife. Because of her work with blood-feeding insects and external parasites, she is often asked to help people who feel crawling sensations or bites but can find no insect present. This condition—previously called Delusory Parasitosis or Ekbom Syndrome and now commonly referred to as “Delusional Infestation”—has become an important area of her work. Dr. Hinkle contributed a chapter to the 2024 book The Physician’s Guide to Delusional Infestation and wrote “Itches, Phobias, and Delusions” for the 11th Edition of the Mallis Handbook of Pest Control. She has delivered more than 170 presentations on the condition for pest management associations, industry conferences, and professional organizations across the country. She earned her B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Medical Entomology from Auburn University and her Ph.D. from the University of Florida.

In this role, Tim supported Syngenta PPM’s innovation and product launch platforms, as well as providing direct support to Syngenta PPM’s sales and marketing teams (and their customers). Dr. Husen is a subject matter expert on insect and rodent pest control tactics, products, and equipment with 28 years of experience in entomology and structural pest management.

The Bartlett W. Eldredge Award recognizes an individual whose long-term dedication, leadership, professionalism, and service have made a meaningful and lasting contribution to the pest management industry in New England. The recipient should be well known and respected by industry peers and demonstrate a strong commitment not only to the profession, but also to service within their company, community, and the broader industry.

Because this is NEPMA’s highest individual honor, nominators are encouraged to provide specific information about the candidate’s career accomplishments, industry involvement, leadership, service, and the lasting impact they have made on others. Strong nominations help the Board of Directors understand why the nominee deserves this recognition.
The NEPMA Board of Directors reviews all nominations and selects one recipient. Unlike certain other NEPMA awards, the Bartlett W. Eldredge Award selection process is not double-blind.
