Virtual doesn’t mean disconnected or impersonal, however! Our adaptations to online communication have been seamless and our traders are ready and anxious to work virtually with our mills and members to set up meetings and coordinate appointments. Our Forest Products Team is proud to present “A Week with Forest Products” from 11/ 9- 11/11. Join us for three live and informative presentations. Details to follow.
