LegCon 2018 set to tackle major LBM issues
Renewing a softwood lumber agreement between the United States and Canada, workforce development and the Innocent Sellers Fairness Act are among the hot topics that will be discussed in Washington, D.C., next week.
LegCon, the National Lumber and Building Material Dealer Association and Window and Door Manufacturer Association’s 2018 Spring Meeting and Legislative Conference, kicks off on March 19 at the Wink Hotel.
Keynote speakers at this year’s event include a visit from Congress including Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Rep. David Young (R-Iowa).
The agenda includes several opportunities to learn about key issues affecting the lumber and building material industry from Washington policy experts and political commentators. The event will culminate with a day for attendees to conduct in-person meetings with their elected officials in Congress.
Concerning the softwood agreement, there hasn’t been an agreement in place since 2015 when the previous agreement expired. The NLBMDA is in favor of a new agreement being reached between Canada and the United States and says it will allow for a stable, continuous supply of framing lumber for builders, retailers and consumers.
