Setting a Winning Strategy for 2020

摘要

New Year's resolutions,the State of the Union address,proposed budgets-the beginning of the year is a time for defining what you stand for and how those important issues will shape your efforts in the months ahead.That same approach is key to the success of industry advocates as well.The pulp,paper,packaging,tissue and wood products industry enters 2020 with strong momentum thanks to the passage of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada(USMCA)trade agreement.AF&PA made USMCA a leading advocacy focus last year due to the 88,000 direct and indirect American jobs supported by total pulp and paper U.S.exports to Mexico and Canada.Though we anxiously wait for Canada to ratify the agreement,our success in championing new commitments to promote sustainable forest management and legal trade in forest products will be a model for our work this year.
