This year, MSLBMDA is pleased to host dealers from our sister association, the Mid-America Lumbermen’s Association. Dealers from Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Arkansas will be joining our group, which will give us a wonderful opportunity to meet dealers from other areas of the country, to share best practices and new ideas.

The relationships we have in the LBM industry are truly one of our best assets! Don’t miss the opportunity to learn, share and sharpen the saw in a collaborative and engaging environment!
