From the President's Desk
Thanks to Troy Brown, past presidents, board members, and staff for the leadership that has made GLTPA so successful. Our board is unique, with expertise from all areas. This was evident when we had a personality test with the group from Dignify at our board meeting a few winters ago in Escanaba.

GLTPA's Director's Notes
Greetings, I have often stated that representing and working for the good of healthy forests and a healthy forest industry is a “Team Sport” and I mean that. Great organizations are not about any one individual. They consist of high-caliber, multitalented individuals with deep passion for the mission at hand, “Enhancing Multiple Use Forests for Future Generations.”
