The National Council of Forestry Association Executives (NCFAE) is a group of forestry executives who run state and national trade associations. The group gathers once a year for a meeting to share information on best practices, operations, HR, and strategic planning, and also reports on national public policy issues happening around the states. NCFAE meetings provide a great educational and networking opportunity. Forest Resources Association (FRA) provides ongoing administrative services to the council.
