ALC Annual Meeting

27th Annual Meeting • October 7-9, 2021 Coeur d’ Alene Resort, Cour d ’Alene, Idaho “The Gem State”

On behalf of the American Loggers Council, and the Associated Logging Contractors– Idaho, I invite you to attend our 27th Annual Meeting in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, a visitor’s paradise and truly one of our nation’s gems.

After taking a year off from a face-to-face annual meeting due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are proud to be hosting the 27th reunion of the members, sponsors and allied association representatives that have allowed us to stay in business over the past 27 years.

All events will be based out of the Coeur d’Alene Resort, an easy drive from the Spokane International Airport (GEG).

Coeur d’Alene offers many opportunities for you to make this a family affair, from our scenic natural attractions to lake activities and shopping in the downtown area should you choose to extend your visit. Debbie and I are excited that you are visiting our part of the country and welcome you to some of the friendliest people on the planet, but be forewarned, Idaho law prohibits you giving a box of candy to someone weighing 50 pounds or more!

See you in October!

Tim Christopherson President
