FRA Northeast Region

This FRA Region, served by FRA Northeast Region Consultant Eric Kingsley, represents the six New England states and New York. FRA activities at the Region level focus on improving members' productivity, efficiency, safety, or reducing costs across the supply chain. In addition to educational and outreach programs to meet member's needs, the Region is most noted for its Industrial Forestry Forum, a monthly meeting of diverse industry interests who gather to network and hear from a speaker on some relevant topic.
