Inaugural FPS International Editorial Board
The Executive Board of the Forest Products Society has approved the formation of an International Editorial Board (IEB) for the Forest Products Journal. This Board, which consists of distinguished experts from around the world, will serve in an advisory capacity to, in part, help the Editor in Chief of the Forest Products Journal select international reviewers in sub-specialty areas. Equally important, these internationally respected members of the IEB will help to represent the Forest Products Journal and serve as global ambassadors for the Forest Products Society.
The FPS Executive Board and IEB Selection Committee were honored to have had some very high caliber international professionals in the field accept nominations for a three-year term as an IEB member. View the Inaugural International Editorial Board for the Forest Products Journal. This information will be published in the next issue of the Forest Products Journal.
