The logging industry in Maine is comprised of many loggers who have<br />

become managers because of mechanization and new managers that grew<br />

up in the business and are now assuming management roles.<br />

From member feedback, it is clear there is a need for management and<br />

leadership training that is customized to the logging industry in Maine.<br />

To date, a specialized leadership development program tailored to<br />

Maine’s loggers has never been developed or offered. The <strong>PLC</strong> has<br />

answered this call and developed this class as an introduction to those<br />

topics. Additional classes will follow to assist with the improvement of<br />

today’s continuingly evolving logging businesses.<br />
