Boise Cascade CEO takes helm of AWC

Boise Cascade CEO Tom Corrick will take over as the new American Wood Council chairman for a one-year term.

Andrew Miller, CEO of Stimson Lumber, was elected the first vice-chairman, and Allyn Ford, president and CEO of Roseburg Forest Products, was elected as second vice-chairman. Sierra Pacific president George Emmerson will serve as the immediate past chairman.

“Through George’s leadership this last year, AWC provided strong support to an increasingly regulated industry, but still managed to gain increased recognition for the carbon benefits of wood products and advance the opportunities for wood buildings,” said AWC president and CEO Robert Glowinski. “As we move into 2016, Tom Corrick has been an active and engaged board member, and I look forward to working with him as AWC’s board chair over the coming year.”

Two new members were confirmed to the AWC board: Neil Sherman, senior VP engineered wood products at LP Corporation, and Eric Cremers, president and chief operating officer of Potlatch Corporation.
