Embassy Suites - Lexington, KY

Kentucky Forest Industries Association (KFIA) has been your voice to support an industry that is built on the best renewable resource in the world. We are hosting our 57th Annual Meeting at the Embassy Suites in Lexington, KY on March 29-31, 2022. 

There will be a variety of discussions and activities to enjoy during the event.  A number of opportunities will be made available for attendees to gather and discuss current issues, and meet with customers both new and old.  The meeting will get underway with the John C. Smith Memorial Golf outing at the University Club of Kentucky Golf Course in Lexington, Kentucky.  The golf outing is a fun event that everyone enjoys and all golfers regardless of abilities are invited to play.  U-C Coatings LLC. will be sponsoring a “$500 cash shootout”.  ISK Biocides, Inc. will sponsor the beverage cart on the golf course.  An evening Welcome Reception in the exhibit area will wrap up a busy day for those that want to get together for some fellowship and find out the golf winners. 

All of this along with receptions both nights and the always great network opportunity on Wednesday afternoon offered by the Robinson Lumber Company / Van Meter Hospitality Suite with fresh seafood straight from New Orleans. 

With so many topics of discussion a Welcome Session has been scheduled for Wednesday morning with speakers touching on the local and national legislative issues, The Real American Hardwood Promotion, Infrastructure funding and the carbon markets.  Followed by the KFIA/KY Tree Farm Awards Luncheon.  

On Thursday, the last day of the meeting begins with continental breakfast in the exhibit area followed by the General Session covering topics of transportation issues (trucking), workforce and the White Oak Initiative.
