to empower compliance professionals working to meet the due care
requirements of the Lacey Act and other laws and provide them with the
tools they need to successfully fulfill their role in sourcing decisions.”
IWPA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CINDY SQUIRES
“The World Resources Institute is pleased to be supporting IWPA
in developing the Wood Trade Compliance Training and Due Diligence Tools Course,
and in turn thanks the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), our supporter and
partner in the Forest Legality Alliance (FLA) initiative. IWPA has been a leading voice among
FLA’s 130 members, and this course came out of discussions amongst both IWPA and FLA
members concerned with practical and effective measures to build industry capacity for
compliance with the Lacey Act and other wood legality measures.”
