"While we could provide hundreds of thousands of trees on a sustainable basis, the president's request (for 60 Christmas trees) is hypocritical given the forced shutdown of the Tongass (National Forest) and the resultant devastation to families and communities."

SFPA Managers Pulled In

The Southern Forest Products Association has restructured its field functions by relocating its market managers from regional offices to its Kenner, La., headquarters.

Those who buy, use or specify southern pine lumber, instead of reaching a market manager in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Kansas, Ohio, New York or Arizona, now will contact the Kenner office or SFPA's Web site.

From Kenner, managers will continue to set up and conduct programs throughout their regions and travel for trade shows and seminars.

"We need to keep up with the times," says SFPA v.p. of marketing Jeff Easterling. "The growth of computer system communications means that one-on-one personal calls in the field are becoming less productive and cost-efficient in today's fastpaced marketplace. By operating from our headquarters location, the market managers will schedule their travel to concentrate on group events with strategic decisionmakers."

The staff realignment is expected to reduce field marketing costs by about 30Vo in administration and overhead.
