NFPA Annual in Arizona

Amid optimistic forecasts of an upturn for housing and the economy, the National Forest Products Assn. held its 80th Annual Meeting recently in Scottsdale, Az.

NFPA President William H. Stimpson said the outlook for 1983 and 1984 is "decidedly upbeat . . . I think we can take heart that we're coming around the bend." He said: "Let's stick together; let's rebuild our markets-and our organizations; let's capitalize on our opportunities and our adversity-let's program ourselves for success."

Guest speaker Briggs Napier, president of Briggs Napier Consultants, Inc., urged wood products producers to encourage home builders to devote more attention to improving the livability and amenities of new houses by using wood products-exposed wood, cabinets, moldings and builtins-and to promote these features in their sales efforts.

Donald R. Deardorff, president and general manager of Fourply, Inc., Grants Pass, Or., was elected new president. He succeeds outgoing President William H. Stimpson, Gulf Lumber Co., Mobile, Al. John R. Forrest, Boise Cascade Corp., Boise, Id., was elected first v.p. Robert F. Higgins, president of the Medford Corp., Medford, Or., was elected second v.p. and treasurer.
