The NLBMDA’s vision is “Advancing the legislative, code and regulatory interests of the lumber and building material industry.”
The National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association, headquartered in Washington DC, represents its members in the national public policy arena, with emphasis on efforts to promote the industry and educate legislators and public policy personnel; and assist legislative, regulatory, standard-setting and other government or private bodies in the development of laws, regulations and policies affecting lumber and building material dealers, its customers and suppliers.
Founded in 1917, the association represents over 4,000 member locations operating single or multiple lumber yards and component plants serving homebuilders, subcontractors, general contractors, and consumers in the new construction, repair and remodeling of residential and light commercial structures.
All DEALER members of the West Coast Lumber & Building Material Association are also members of the NLBMDA.
