KFIA has been a voice for our membership for over 60 years, and with continued support, we will remain ready to assist when and where we are needed.
The agenda will emphasize partnerships, community, and collective progress in forestry and related industries, along with updates on initiatives supporting workforce development and market promotion. We will discuss legislative action at the state and national levels. The meeting will feature a Welcome Reception for early arrivals and a golf outing on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday mornings will include speakers on topics of importance to the industry. On Wednesday, a luncheon and afternoon hospitality social time will provide plenty of opportunities to meet attendees. The exhibit area will be open throughout the meeting, with activities to help exhibitors connect with potential contacts.
Please join us for an opportunity to meet with hardwood industry owners and operators throughout Kentucky and the region.
