Find Your Roundtable. Find Better Answers.

BLD Connection has two online roundtable options starting in October, providing members with practical ways to tackle challenges, hear fresh ideas and learn what’s working for other LBM professionals.

  • Virtual Roundtable Series: Six online meetings covering operations, financials, marketing, workforce challenges, leadership and more.
  • NEW Yard & Logistics Leadership Roundtable: Quarterly sessions for yard and delivery leaders focused on safety, inventory, delivery performance, customer service and frontline leadership.

Space is limited, and groups are forming now. Other roundtable groups are also available. If you are interested in joining a group, contact Connie Johnson at connie@bldconnection.org or Cody Nuernberg at cody@bldconnection.org, or call (888) 544-6822.
