Director

David G. Briggs is a professor in Forest Products and Operations Research at the College of Forest Resources, as well as the Director of the Stand Management Cooperative. His research has focused on: 1) operations research and management science in the forest products industry, emphasizing modeling and optimization of converting trees into logs and recovery of lumber and other products from logs; and 2) quality control and quality management systems in the forest products industry.

Administrative Specialist

Megan O'Shea manages all of our publications, as well as our web site, conferences and meetings. Her efforts lead to our success in sharing information with others. She continues to support the Stand Management Cooperative, also based at the College of Forest Resources.

Executive Board

Recognizing the importance of the cooperative aspect of this program, an Executive Advisory Board has been established to provide review and guidance. This will help to assure our success of creating sustainable economic and environmental benefits for the State.
