GLTPA's Director's Notes
Greetings, Partner is a word often used to describe relationships between government agencies and associations such as GLTPA. I wonder though, if the meaning of the word is truly understood or if it is simply a buzz word like “sustainability.” Thinking back a few months about the marketing work being done by the “Real Hardwood Promotion Coalition,” the research showed that while many people use the word “sustainable”, they do not know what it means.
