IHLA Sells Out 127th Edition
The 127th edition of the Annual Convention of the Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen’s Association (IHLA) was deemed a success by organizers. More than 1,200 were in attendance at the Indianapolis Downtown Marriott in Indianapolis, IN.
The exhibition hall of the three-day event was sold out.
An IHLA Board of Director’s meeting kicked off the annual affair followed by a St. Patty’s welcome reception.
The next two days were packed with a variety of informative and educational presentations.
These included:
- An Opening Session with keynote speaker Dr. Matthew Will, who, noted IHLA Executive Director Ray Moistner, gave “an eye-opening presentation on economics, with a focus on tariffs and trade.”
- An Outlook from Today’s Hardwood Leaders, presented by representatives from the National Hardwood Lumber Association, the Hardwood Manufacturers Association and the Hardwood Federation.
- Future Demand for Industrial Wood Products, presented by Mark Barford, National Wooden Pallet & Container Association.
- Where Do We Go From Here?, presented by Michael Snow, American Hardwood Export Council.
The Fellowship of Christian Lumbermen also met during the IHLA Annual Convention.
