CBI honors association executive director with community impact award

 

Continental Biomass Industries (CBI), Newton, New Hampshire, will recognize Jasen Stock, executive director of the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association (NHTOA) in Concord, New Hampshire, with the 2018 Golden Grizzly Community Impact Award. The award ceremony will be held at CBI’s Factory Forum dinner reception on Oct. 3 at the Portsmouth Sheraton Harborside Hotel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Stock was instrumental in overriding the veto of Senate Bill 365, which supports biomass energy in the New Hampshire and thus, the market for woodchips. Following a veto of the bill earlier this year, NHTOA was the catalyst for a grassroots campaign that engaged stakeholders across New Hampshire’s logging industry, including a community dialogue at CBI to demonstrate the economic impact to suppliers who manufacture logging equipment.

“Jasen Stock and everyone at the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association stood up for hundreds of forestry professionals in the state whose jobs hung in the balance of this legislation,” Art Murphy, director of sales and marketing at CBI Terex, says. “Jasen has shown that New Hampshire’s logging industry is a formidable collective voice, and we hope the beneficiaries of his tireless advocacy will join us on Oct. 3 to recognize him and his organization.”
