Fraser Ends Tenure on Massachusetts Wood Products Association Board


Genevieve Fraser, a Democratic candidate for state representative for the 2nd Franklin District, poses with fellow Massachusetts Wood Producer Association board members at their final meeting.  As of June 30, the MWPA has been dissolved and is now part of the newly formed Massachusetts Forest Alliance (MFA).  From left to right bottom: Ken Lynds, Jim Dimaio, Jeff Poirier, past president of the MWPA who will serve on the newly created MFA board, and Mike Orzel,   Top row (left to right) Genevieve Fraser, Fred Jajko and Kris Armstrong who serves as secretary to the MFA.

Fraser declined a seat at the newly formed MFA board while serving as a candidate for state representative.  "Though I'm deeply empathetic to the cause of the forest and wood products industry, it's important that I remain as open as possible to the debate from all sides.  However, maintaining the health of the forest ecosystem remains one of my core commitments," Fraser stated.
