HMA’s 2024 National Conference and Expo is just around the corner. And we hope we’ll see you at The Charleston Place in Charleston, SC, Monday–Wednesday, March 25–27. Remember, this HMA event is open to all Hardwood industry stakeholders — producers, processors, distributors, and suppliers. If you haven’t yet registered, take care of business today. Registration rates increase March 1.
This year’s Conference theme is Pathways to Success and our slate of learning sessions is focused on helping you navigate your company’s future, adapting to our industry’s ever-evolving landscape, dealing with economic markets, and much more. There will also be a virtual tour of NWH’s facility in Longview, WA. Get a close-up look of their operations and see how sawmilling is done in the Pacific Northwest!
You also won’t want to miss the sold-out Expo portion of the event to visit with industry suppliers, as well as learn about their new equipment and services. The Southern Cypress Manufacturers Association will also be holding its 2024 Annual Meeting during the Conference. So, there’s sure to be plenty of opportunities for networking and information exchange.

Calling All Golfers
Are you a golfer? Then we have some good news to share with you! HMA will host its second annual NatCon Golf Tournament on Monday, March 25, at the Patriots Point Links. Located on Charleston Harbor, the beautiful course is just 10 minutes from The Charleston Place and features sweeping views of Fort Sumter, Shem Creek, and the historic downtown skyline. Tee times begin at 8:30 am.
The fee is $130 and that covers your round of golf and golf cart rental. Clubs can be rented from the clubhouse. Golfers are responsible for their own transportation. Register online at www.HMAmembers.org and consider adding on a sponsorship! Funds raised will be donated to the Real American Hardwood Coalition in support of their work promoting Real American Hardwood to consumers and the design build community!
If you have any questions, reach out to golf organizer and TS Manufacturing sales representative Peter McCarty at PeterM@tsman.com.
That’s all for now. Linda and I are looking forward to seeing you in Charleston!
