Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott attended the American Loggers Council’s 23^rd Annual Meeting in Natchez, Mississippi. Abbott writes, “The American Loggers Council hosted its 23^rd Annual Meeting on September 28-30 at the Natchez Convention Center in Natchez, Miss. There were 205 in attendance, representing 27 states, with proxies attending from another three states. As it does every fall, the ALC meets in the home state of the outgoing President, in this case Mississippi logger Ken Martin. ALC Presidents serve single year terms. Along with voting on many issues of great significance to the industry, attendees at the event have the opportunity to network with their peers from throughout the country. Forest industry consultant Wendy Farrand kicked off Friday’s educational seminars, delivering a message about rebranding the industry.”
