Hello Members,
As we transition into spring, I hope your local weather patterns are finally drying out, warming up. Here in Iowa, we have been teased with spring since early March. We’ve seen temperatures swing from 70 degrees down to 15 degrees in the blink of an eye. Going from sunburns to winter coats within 48 hours is less than ideal, and I’m sure many of you across the Lake States can relate to a similar weather pattern.
We have also moved quickly from drought conditions to receiving one to three inches of rain at a time over the last few weeks. To say the weather has been unique would be an understatement.
Despite the unpredictable skies, the LSLA Education Committee has a productive summer planned with several high-value courses designed to sharpen our workforce. Please review the following dates and consider which members of your team would benefit from these sessions:
OSHA Safety Class: May 22nd (changed to June 26th)
Lumber Grading Short Course: July 27th – 29th
Sawing, Edging, & Trimming Class: July 30th
Teacher Forest Products Bootcamp: August 5th – 6th
In addition to our education tracks, we have a major networking opportunity coming up in July. This year’s LSLA Summer Golf Outing will be held on July 22nd – 23rd in Lake Geneva. It is a
fantastic chance to step away, reconnect with peers, and enjoy some golf!
Please also mark your calendars for the Hardwood Federation Fly-In in Washington, D.C., taking place June 9th – 10th. This is our primary opportunity to ensure our voices are heard on Capitol Hill regarding the legislative issues that impact your bottom line.
I look forward to seeing you all at one of these events this summer!
