Annual Meeting A Success!

Thanks to everyone for helping make this year’s Build Local Alliance Annual Meeting a success!

 

The February 13, 2008 BLA Annual Meeting brought together over fifty partners from all links of the green building value chain -  forest stewards, manufacturers, suppliers, architects and designers, builders and service providers - for an evening of information-sharing, market connections and celebration.  By creating this forum for collaboration and communication, our commitment to promoting local, responsible forestry and green building in Oregon is gaining traction.

 

Let's keep the momentum going....
