Joseph C.
Whitehead, former publlisher of the
Journal of Commerce and BC Lumberman, anchors BC
Scene's first Forestry Edition, to be launched in
December 2001. Six leaders from BC's Forest
Industry will provide a unique perspective on the
future of British Columbia's largest employer.
"British
Columbia has magnificent forests, unrivaled forest
stewardship and a world class forest industry.
Unfortunately, our forest industry has ceased to be
competitive globally. We have the potential to
revitalize this industry if we can improve our
forest policies" Ron
MacDonald, COFI CEO
 What
is The Council of Forest Industries?
A
trade association incorporated in 1960, COFI is the
provincial voice of the British Columbia Forest
Industry. COFI represents over 100 forest companies
and six forest industry trade associations. Our
member companies operate throughout the province;
manage forest resources; manufacture lumber, pulp,
paper, plywood and other value-added forest
products; and sell these products locally,
nationally and internationally. COFI focuses on
seven major areas: Aboriginal Affairs; Energy and
Environment; Forestry; Markets/Trade; Occupational
Health and Safety; Taxation and
Transportation.
Governance and
Management
COFI
is a member driven organization. It is governed by
a Board of Directors elected from among its company
and association members. The Board utilizes
committees, comprised of industry representatives,
to provide it with advice on issues within COFI's
mandate. Under the direction of the President and
Chief Executive Officer, COFI's staff manage the
activities of the organization and its
representation of the industry.
