1988 CAP Audit Negotiations
Voluntary contributions of approximately $85,000 will be needed from the pressure treating industry to finance the 1988 Consumer Awareness Program audit.
Contract negotiations and the solicitation of financial support will be handled by the American Wood Preservers Institute and the Society of American Wood Preservers.
The audit, which measures the success of the distribution of Consumer Information Sheets to those purchasing pressure treated wood as well as other industry information programs, has been conducted for two years.
The 1987 results virtually mirrored those of the initial 1986 audit.
It is planned that after three consecutive successful years, the industry will approach the EPA with a plan to conduct the audit on a two or three year cycle.
Weyerhaeuser Now Chainnan
George H. Weyerhaeuser will become chairman of the board as well as chief executive officer of Weyerhaeuser Co. with John W. Creighton Jr. becoming president, responsible for all operating units.
Weyerhaeuser will assume the chairmanship when Robert B. Wilson retires at'the annual meeting on April 21. Creighton has been nominated for election to the board.
The new president joined Weyer- haeuser in 1970 as the first general manager of the shelter group. He was elected a vice president late that year and has been an executive vice president since 1 985. Weyerhaeuser, a great grandson of the founder, has been president and c.e.o. since 1966. He joined the company in 1947.
Charles W. Bingham will continue as Weyerhaeuser Forest Products Co. head.
