And he is no stranger to leadership positions. He has been a key leader in the Alabama Loggers Council, an organization he joined in 1994.Castleberry attended his first national loggers meeting in 1998 when South Carolina hosted the annual get-together. "From that meeting I saw the value of the ALC and have been committed ever since," says Castleberry. ALC Executive Director Danny Dractoris looking forward to working with Castleberry. "Ezell has proven leadership capabilities and brings a lot to the table. His knowledge will be invaluable as we move forward on the woody biomass issue in particular."
