VFPA Fulfills Nearly Seven-Decades-Old Event Tradition
The 68th annual convention of the Virginia Forest Products Association (VFPA) was recently held in Hot Springs, VA, at the Homestead Resort.
This year’s convention was attended by forest products professionals from across the region. Informative discussions included a panel addressing what’s on the horizon for Virginia’s forest products, an industry roundtable on the topic of fueling the industry and how the Commonwealth is approaching one of today’s most important challenges: energy. Ample networking opportunities were available to attendees, including a Western saloon-inspired evening on Saturday featuring cocktails, dinner, music and games.
VFPA proudly represents a diverse network of businesses and professionals involved in logging, sawmilling, manufacturing, trucking, forestry, biomass, pallet production and allied services across Virginia and beyond.
The Virginia Forest Products Association has represented Virginia’s forest products industry since 1958. As a non-profit trade association, VFPA works to support and strengthen one of the Commonwealth’s most important industries through advocacy, education, workforce development, networking, and promotion of Virginia’s sustainable forest products community.
The 69th VFPA annual convention is set for Sept. 17-19, 2027, at The Cavalier/Marriott, Virginia Beach.
