BETTING ON VEGAS!As summer has fi nally arrived and temperatures are helping us forget about the long winter, it is now time to make plans to attend the 2014 NHLA Annual Convention & Exhibit Showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada October 8-10. With the improvement of the hardwood industry and shortage of material, this year’s NHLA Annual Convention & Exhibit Showcase is a must attend.

Th e convention will mirror the North American hardwood industry and will be better than we have experienced in the last 6 years! Th e convention will have something for everyone. Kicking off this year’s conference will be the dynamic Keynote address by Bill Taylor, co-founder of Fast Company magazine, sponsored by Rossi Group. After the Opening Session there will be four uninterrupted hours in the Exhibit Showcase followed by a diverse off ering of educational seminars.

Every year, NHLA welcomes affi liated hardwood groups who hold their meetings and events in conjunction with the NHLA convention. Th is year we welcome the American Hardwood Export Council, American Walnut Manufacturers Association, Canadian Hardwood Bureau, Fellowship of Christian Lumberman, Hardwood Distributors Association, Hardwood Federation, Hardwood Forest Foundation and the International Wood Products Association. Please make sure when you register for the NHLA Convention to sign up for the two Hardwood Forest Foundation events, the HFF Annual Golf Tournament and new this year, the HFF Bowling Competition.

Networking will be in full swing this year as we kick-off the NHLA Convention with a poolside reception on Wednesday evening sponsored by Dakota Hardwoods. Networking has always been a focus for those attending the convention and this year’s facility and schedule will enable for extended opportunities.

I know my wife will not let me go to Vegas without her, so make sure to bring your spouse to Vegas. Th ey will not want to miss the Showgirls 101 program, where spouses and guests of attendees to the 2014 NHLA Annual Convention will learn the art of and life of a showgirl from actual former showgirls. Th e showgirls will arrive without makeup and transform themselves into showgirls while the audience asks questions about their lives, how they got started, showgirl bloopers and many other topics. Preregistration is required: Sign up when you complete convention registration.

Because it is Vegas, you will not want to miss out on the opportunity to win the HFF 50/50 Drawing or the Hardwood Federation PAC diamond earrings. Please watch for opportunities to purchase tickets for these two drawings throughout the convention.

In its second year, the NHLA Convention mobile app will allow you an interactive experience. You can download the mobile app for free to your iPhone, iPad or Android by visiting https://crowd.cc/s/2k6U from your device. Apple and Android users can also search for the app in the iTunes store or Play store.

2014 KEYNOTESPEAKER

WILLIAM TAYLOROpening Session – Thursday, October 9 – 8am Sponsored by Rossi Group

Founding Editor, Fast Company and Best-selling Author, Practically Radical: Not-So-Crazy Ways to Transform Your Company, Shake Up Your Industry, and Challenge Yourself

Bill Taylor is an agenda-setting writer, speaker and entrepreneur who has shaped the global conversation about the best ways to compete, innovate and succeed. His project, Practically Radical: Not-So-Crazy Ways to Transform Your Company, Shake Up Your Industry, and Challenge Yourself, is based on in-depth access to 25 organizations that are making deep-seated changes under the most trying circumstances imaginable. These organizations (from hard-charging technology companies to long-established nonprofi ts, from hospitals to automakers to banks) are mastering a set of strategies and practices that defi ne the work of leadership in turbulent times-ideas from which every leader can learn.

The book was published by William Morrow, an imprint of HarperColllins, in January 2011. It became an immediate Wall Street Journal best seller and the #1 best seller on the Inc./800CEORead Hardcover Business list. Daniel H. Pink, best-selling author of Drive and A Whole New Mind, calls the book “the most powerful and instructive change manual you’ll ever read.” Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the American Red Cross, calls it “a must-read for organizations that want to stay energized and relevant.” The New York Journal of Books called Practically Radical “a successor to Jim Collins’ seminal book, Good to Great.” The Washington Times called it “an eye-opening joy.” CNN, in an in-depth report on the book, declared that Taylor “has a cult following in workplace and management circles.”

The paperback edition of Practically Radical, fully updated and with an all-new “work book” of exercises to help meet the big challenges of change, was published on July 31, 2012.

Practically Radical is a sequel of sorts to Taylor’s book, Mavericks at Work: Why the Most Original Minds in Business Win. “I didn’t just ‘read’ this book, I devoured it!” declared Tom Peters when Mavericks appeared. James J. Cramer, co-founder of TheStreet.com and host of CNBC’s Mad Money with Jim Cramer, had this to say: “If Mavericks at Work had come out before I started TheStreet.com, I could have saved my investors (and myself) $100 million-because I would have been able to take the lessons in the book and apply them every day to my business.” Added talent guru Marcus Buckingham: “You must fi nd the time to read this book.”

Just weeks after its release, Mavericks became a New York Times best seller, a Wall Street Journal business best seller and a BusinessWeek best seller. It was the subject of articles, reviews and columns in many top publications, including U.S. News & World Report, The Boston Globe and The Economist, which called the book “a pivotal work in the tradition of In Search of Excellence and Good to Great.” The Economist also named Mavericks one of its “Books of the Year, 2006.” Other accolades include: “Top Ten Business Book of The Year” (amazon.com), “Top Ten Book on Innovation and Design” (BusinessWeek) and “2006 Picks of the Year in Business Books” (The Financial Times).

The book also generated big attention on the small screen. ABC’s Good Morning America devoted two segments (called Maverick Monday) to the book, and NBC’s Weekend TODAY devoted a lengthy segment to its vision of the new workplace. CNBC aired a fi ve-part series, hosted by Maria Bartiromo, called The Business of Innovation, which spotlighted a number of companies and executives drawn from the pages of Mavericks at Work, and for which Taylor was an on-air commentator. Taylor’s latest book, Average Is Not an Option, will be released in 2015.

Taylor’s books highlight a career devoted to challenging conventional wisdom and showcasing the power of business at its best. As co-founder and founding editor of Fast Company, he launched a magazine that won countless awards, earned a passionate following among executives and entrepreneurs around the world-and became a legendary business success. In less than six years, an enterprise that took shape in some borrowed offi ce space in Harvard Square sold for $340 million.

Fast Company has won just about every award there is to win in the magazine world, from “Startup of the Year” to “Magazine of the Year” to two National Magazine Awards. In recognition of Fast Company’s impact on business, Taylor was named “Champion of Workplace Learning and Performance” by the American Society of Training and Development. Past winners include Jack Welch of GE and Fred Smith of FedEx.

Taylor is the co-author of three other books on strategy, leadership and innovation: The Big Boys: Power and Position in American Business; No-Excuses Management and Going Global. He has published numerous essays and CEO interviews in The Harvard Business Review, and his column, “Under New Management,” ran in the Sunday Business section of The New York Times. Another column, “Bill Taylor on Big Ideas,” ran in The Guardian newspaper of London. Today, Taylor chronicles his research, insights and lessons in a popular blog Harvard Business Online, the digital arm of The Harvard Business Review.

A graduate of Princeton University and the MIT Sloan School of Management, he lives in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with his wife and two daughters.

Bill Taylor is a best-selling author, celebrated entrepreneur and groundbreaking thinker on leadership and innovation.

Having made his name as a hugely successful editor and entrepreneur who co-founded and took Fast Company magazine from startup to a $340 million sale in less than six years, Taylor speaks with authority and experience on embracing people-centric approaches to leadership, a network approach to cultivating ideas and a relentless focus on being extraordinary all in the name of creating market dominance. Provocative and inspiring, Bill off ers fi rsthand accounts of how game changers are transforming their companies and shaking up their industries – and insights into how you can do the same in your own organization.

A former FedEx senior executive of more than 20 years, Marco started up the Business Logistics Services in Asia and when FedEx started fl ying into China, he was appointed as the fi rst General Manager in China.

The Friday, October 10 Cultural Workshop will help attendees understand key Chinese cultural values that signifi cantly infl uence behaviors of Chinese consumers and business people; and off er up some proven business practices that will help you to engage in trades with Chinese successfully.

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP

CHINESE CULTURE ENHANCED EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPMarco Chan, CEO, AmAsia3 Corporation – Friday, October 10 – 8:30amSponsored by The Jacobs Team

Marco Chan and his group of consultants at AmAsia3 enjoys helping companies on both sides of the Pacifi c to engage in commerce successfully, by sharing with them the cultural insights they gained and the community network they have built through their years of business experience in Asia and America.

Marco is former FedEx senior executive of more than 20 years, managing diff erent functions including customer services, ground and ramp operations and supply chain logistics in United States and Asia. He started up the Business Logistics Services in Asia, and when FedEx started fl ying into China, he was appointed as the fi rst General Manager in China. Within 18 months, he established operations in 13 cities, opened three call centers, automated customs clearance; and FedEx became the market share leader in the express industry in China.

Upon return from his Asia assignment, he wanted to share what he learned. He co-designed with the International School of Business at the University of Memphis and implemented a 5-day Global Education seminar, teaching corporate executives how to conduct business within various international cultures in Asia, Middle East, Europe and Latin America. He also discovered his passion to help Asian employees to be positive contributors in the United States and to help American executives understand Asian employees and customers.

In October 2003, he started his consulting practice, and has worked with hundreds of managers in the U.S. and Asia to help them become more eff ective global business leaders.

Marco holds a MBA degree from Rivier College, Nashua, New Hampshire and a BBA degree from University of Hawaii.

The VIP program provides theopportunity to earn up to a 10 percent return of the earned premium for enrollees once targetedloss ratios are achieved.
