(Continucd [rcm page I3) six hours depending on program content. If the co*ponsor wants structural panels includcd, WWPA works with thc Amcrican Plywood Association on the seminar. WWPA, as a mernber of the Wood Products Promotion Council, also participates in seminars arranged by that group.

If you think that WWPA probably has one basic seminar program and makes a few minor changes here and there to "tailor" it for a different audience, think again. Every seminar is different. Each program is designed to fit a particular audience and a particular market.

Retail lumber employees get the kind of information that will help them in their knowledge of lumber and their dealings with various types of customers. In WWPA seminars, they review lumber grades, lumber seasoning, specialty products, the WWPAspan computer, wood systems and promotional materials.

WWPA seminars for retail management cover shipping practices, sources of supply, purchasing, reinspections, storage and handling, treated wood products, merchandising, new market potentials, and dealer assistance.

Sit in on a wwPA seminar sometime, no matter the audience, and you begin to feel lumber sales in the making. This is because knowledge and information translate.; into success in today's marketplace. Which product to use-when, where and why-are comprehensively covered in these seminars.

Right now, field representatives are busy adding new dates and locations for future seminars in various parts of the country. If you are interested in co-sponsoring a seminar, or want to find out if one is planned for your locality, write to Don Wallace or Vic Riolo, Western Wood Products Association, Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon 972U.
