What is the Carolina Loggers Association?

Loggers are independent business people separated from each other by the nature of their work and often kept apart from business information and timely news that could change their operations for the better. The CLA is a non-profit corporation formed to help associate loggers for their benefit. Coming together through the Internet, by fax, by phone, and in person is easier in an association of like-minded business people who share similar problems and opportunities. The CLA employees a full-time Executive Director who keeps information timely, focuses on "survival" business issues , goes frontline with government agencies in cooperative efforts. As a "professional loggers" association, members are required to be in "good standing" with the N.C. ProLogger Program or another state certified logger program. 

 Our Mission
