NFPA Updates its Structure

A plan to convert the National Forest Products Association's two present program management committees into three separate operating divisions: Product Division, Public Timber Division and Private Timber Division is targeted to become effective Jan. l, 1984.

Each of the three divisions will have separate membership, dues, board of directors. executive committee and appropriate committees to handle subject matter for the division. A governing board of l5 will be responsible for the overall business and policies of the associatlon.

The plan, the outcome of a sixmonth committee study for the analysis of the support structure of the NFPA, was presented at the spring meeting, May l5-18, in Washington, D.C.

The committee's fundamental conclusion was that a national forest industry association is necessary to deal with national product and resource policies and issues. ln addition, they called for appointment of an industry task force to study the possibility of closer coordination or eventual consolidation of NFPA with the American Paper Institute, American Forest Institute, American Wood Council and other national forest industry associations. The purpose of this long-term study would be to achieve the broadest and most effective possible voice for the forest industry, greater potential efficiency and cost benefits, and to gain the support and involvement of the pulp and paper industry on timber resource issues.

The reorganization plan calls for a membership structure including both federated association members and direct company members. All must join the Product Division unless they produce no product and at least one of the two timber divisions. Within two years federated association members must be NFPA members.

Each of the three division board of directors will have ar least two representatives from federated association members with the additional seats based on a dollar formula. Direct members will have one seat. Each board of directors will elect executive committees, set dues and approve the structure of committees and programs for its division. The executive committee will have l8 members and be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the division.

NFPA's government relations function will be intensified with the governing board directing and monitoring activities. Other recommendations in the plan deal with management, personnel policies, finance and control, long-range planning and implementation of the new plan.

More Aluminum Used

More aluminum is being used in houses today in windows and doors as well as extrusions for carpet edgings, weatherstripping and thresholds.

Creative product design and attractive durable finishes have increased the use ofextrusions. In addition, more aluminum is being used per housing unit because of innovative energy-efficient aluminum windows and doors.

In 1982, aluminum was used as frame material in an estimated 6lq0 of the windows installed in new homes. an increase from 5690 in 1977. Over 7090 of the aluminum windows sold in 1982 incorporated thermal barrier, double or triple glaze designs as opposed to 4090 in t977
