Associations in the building materials sector are all too often short-lived -- yet the Timber Development Association (TDA) NSW is going from strength to strength. June 18 saw an important milestone passed in the history of the TDA: the 400th meeting of our Board of Directors since the founding of the TDA in 1938. Not big news, perhaps, but a testament to the resilience of the TDA and to the support of our members. Why has the TDA weathered the years so well? We believe it is down to the capacity of the association to remake itself to address new problems and opportunities facing its membership. Issues that were once on the periphery -- timber certification, sustainability and the like -- have become central to the future profitability of the timber industry in NSW. The TDA, meantime, has changed with the times to address these issues. |
