4. Promote and provide public relations for the forest industry and to stimulate interest, use and involvement in the forest products industry;
5. Provide members and others with opportunities for dialog, education, advancement, and improvement in all aspects of the forest industry;
6. Promote, foster and develop industry standards, research and development, quality control and industry integrity;
7. Articulate and advocate as a focused voice the needs and interests of the forest industry before local, state and federal governments;
