    Drs. Henry Quesada and Tom Hammett lead the Virginia Tech delegation to the 64th Forest Products Society Annual International Convention (IC) in Madison ,Wisconsin, during June, 2010. This year\u2019s IC saw nearly four hundred participants \u2013an increase over recent year\u2019s attendance, in spite of the poor economy. Dr. Quesada\u2019s research group presented four papers and two posters and chaired a session. Dr. Hammett presented two papers, one with his former PhD student, Richard Bonsi, and displayed two posters. Tom was also an invited participant in a strategic planning “listening session” held just prior to the beginning of the IC. The FPS is conducting a year-long effort to re-position itself so that it is more responsive the needs of its members and clients. Tom joined 25 other key stakeholders including present and former board members to help gather information and start a list of priorities that will help chart new directions for FPS.<\/p>\n
