Opening speaker Steve M. Samek, Arthur Andersen & Co., addressed a standing room audience, detailing trends in lumber wholesaling during the 1990s.

During the convention's second general session, NAWLA members heard a discussion of timber supply in the United States and Canada. Tom Lee, assistant deputy minister of operations for Forestry Canada, provided an outlook of future timber supplies in Canada, including issues confronting Forestry Canada and plans to assure an adequate timber supply.
