NELMA is pleased to announce further growth in our Association staff with the hiring of Floyd K. Corbin of Skowhegan, Maine to fill our ninth Inspector position, effective November 6, 2006.   Upon completion of the Association’s orientation and training program, Floyd will provide inspection services to our Lumber and Export Wood Packaging membership in the Northeast. He brings more than 12 years of sawmill operation experience to the Inspector position, including computerized optimizing systems, lumber quality control, kiln drying, and customer sales and service. Following graduation from Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine in 1993, Floyd gained valuable lumber industry experience through his previous employment with Sebec Lumber Company and Pleasant River Lumber Company, both in Dover-Foxcroft, and most recently at Kennebec Lumber Company in Solon, Maine. In addition to his softwood lumber background, he is also a certified NHLA hardwood lumber inspector. We look forward to utilizing all of Floyd’s experience and skills in providing the service and assistance our Association membership expects and deserves. Join us in welcoming Floyd and his wife Elizabeth to the NELMA  “family”.
