ABOUT US

Board of Directors
The Michigan Association of Timbermen is governed by a 13-member board of directors, elected by voting members as defined in our organizational by-laws, which states that voting members must be directly involved in the harvest, manufacture, or hauling of wood material.
​
Board members are elected to a three year term, and can be re-elected or replaced at our annual Timbermen's Convention each spring.
