Bradley McKinney has been named executive director of the International Wood Products Association (IWPA), effective Monday, Sept. 13.
“Our industry plays a critical role in supporting U.S. manufacturers, builders, and consumers. IWPA members supply quality, globally-sourced wood products, thereby supporting U.S. jobs up and down the value chain. It is incumbent upon IWPA to advocate for continued acceptance and demand for the legally-sourced and sustainable wood products and associated services which IWPA members provide,” McKinney said. “We are at a critical juncture in international trade as we face ongoing challenges, including the coronavirus pandemic, strains on supply chains, and increasing complexities of domestic and international regulatory and legislative policies."
