Marion-Polk Chapter of OSWA hosts Amanda Sullivan-Astor of the Associated Oregon Loggers.
Amanda is the policy specialist with AOL and will present to us on the AOL itself and how it works. Look up oregonloggers.org. The logging industry is key to most everything we do, when or if we decide to harvest some timber. Not only are the machines huge and complex, so is our society, and we will have Amanda describe the association as well as her specialty of policy, within that group.

Time: 10:30 am
Location: Monmouth library
Space is limited, RSVP required to nicole.masonmartin@oregonstate.edu or phone 541-713-5000 include name, contact phone and number attending.
