See Sch O 0 0 Labratory and Grademark: CPA operates an independent International Testing Center (ITC) in Leesburg, Virginia and manages the Grademark Certification Program, the largest and most stringent testing and certification program of its kind for North American composite panel products. The Association also helps manufacturers create inplant quality control programs through educational programs and on-site assistance.The ITC lab and certification program are both accredited to support industry certification and programs and conduct product testing. These activities include verification that physical and mechanical properties and emission values meet specified standards. Annual Meetings: CPA sponsors two annual meetings each spring and fall. These events feature speakers and educational workshops on substantive industry issues, exhibit and sponsorship opportunities to build awareness of members' products and services, and business meetings to develop policies and programs. The annual meetings offer a unique opportunity to network with CPA producer members, distributors, suppliers, end-users and other colleagues. Education and Communications: CPA is an approved provider of continuing education courses for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and has developed several courses to educate architects and designers about the benefits of sourcing wood-based composite panels and decorative surfaces. CPA offers fact sheets and technical bulletins covering a wide range of topics and specifications about the attributes of composite panel products. All are available on the CPA website to members at no charge. The Association publishes a weekly e-newsletter for members titled @the edge providing up-to-date industry and Association news. Committees: CPA is a member-driven organization working in concert with its professional staff. Member companies and their employees are encouraged to actively participate on the Association's committees: Production-Technical, Marketing, Decorative Surfaces and Environmental and Public Affairs. These committees, comprised of industry peers, manage Association programs and ensure that issues important to the industry are effectively addressed. Public Policy: One of CPA's primary objectives is to advocate for public policies that align with those of the composite panel industry, and to do so in a credible, effective way. CPA actively represents industry with the U.S. and Canada. In many cases CPA has initiated or led these advocacy efforts, while in others CPA has joined one or more coalitions.The most significant advocacy efforts are described below.Product EmissionsCPA has a longstanding reputation as the leading and most effective industry advocate on standards and regulations pertaining to emissions from composite panel products, particularly those related to formaldehyde-based adhesives.The Association sponsors all ANSI standards related to particleboard, MDF, hardboard and engineered wood siding & trim, as well as CPA's Eco-Certified CompositeTM sustainability standard and certification program, all of which address product emissions and impose stringent and verifiable requirements.The U.S. EPA Formaldehyde Emissions Regulation (TSCA Title VI), along with California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Airborne Toxic Control Measure are the two chief regulations affecting product emissions in the U.S. These have effectively become worldwide standards. Wood FiberWood fiber is the feedstock of composite panel products, and free market access to wood fiber is the chief public policy priority of the CPA.CPA has consistently pressed for governmental policies in the US and Canada that expand energy alternatives and promote the use of renewable biomass without harming existing industries that already rely on the underlying wood fiber as their primary feedstock.This feedstock, sometimes referred to as "higher value" wood fiber, makes possible millions of domestic jobs in the wood products, landscaping/nursery and other industries, as well as to the use of wood as a renewable, environmentally beneficial resource.CPA believes federal and state alternative energy policies must be balanced against both economic (jobs) and environmental considerations. Specifically, government subsidies or other incentives should not be used to distort the free market, nor to jeopardize longstanding, vital industries and domestically-made consumer products. Workplace SafetyEnsuring that there are appropriate regulations to protect the safety of employees in the workplace, as well as that of the general public, is a high priority of the CPA.For decades the Association has sponsored the collection of US and Canadian industry safety related performance data and has recognized facility-specific safety accomplishments as well as workplace innovations.CPA has also been one of the most knowledgeable and effective interveners with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) regulations as these bear on "smokestack" emissions and both workplace and community safety. Most recently, the CPA has intervened on the Boiler MACT to modify EPA's initial mischaracterization of resinated fiber burned for fuel in industry facilities.The Association also participates in forums and regulatory processes related to wood dust, occupational exposure limits in the workplace, and other issues that relate to employee and public safety. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 10 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 30 30 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 X Jeanne E Ervin COO 7037241128 19465 Deerfield Avenue 306 Leesburg VA 201761705 Marla Chappell Chair 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Carroll Vice Chairman 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Reardon Secretary/Treasurer 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Beaty Immediate Past Chair 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Matt Swinnie Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Broadfoot Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Al Stobbart Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emilio Ayub Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Johannes Eder Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JP Maultsby Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Juska Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Aldred Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Sauter Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Stasiowski Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ray Chaaraoui Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kyle Kennedy Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rossen Marinov Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shane Brannan Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Mai Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Peterson Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elliott Savage Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dirk Koltze Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Wegman Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Hart Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Louis Brassard Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Randy Tallman Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Smith Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Hogg Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ric Aikman Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Laundry Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew T O'Hare President 37.50 X 352608 0 75301 Jeanne E Ervin Chief Operating Officer 37.50 X 179303 0 59444 Connie Klinkam Sr Director, Technical Services 37.50 X 152737 0 20367 Allyson O'Sullivan VP Marketing & Meetings 37.50 X 157998 0 59061 Brian Sause Director, Certification & Industry Affairs 37.50 X 135400 0 25651 978046 0 239824 5 0 1 0 Timber Products Inspection Inc 1641 Sigman Road NW Conyers GA 30012 Wood Audits/Inspections 168850 BRL Regulatory Advisors LLC 1303 Summerwood Court McLean VA 22102 Environmental/Regulatory Issue Consultin 117975 2 Membership dues 900099 1542943 1542943 Grademark program fees 900099 1230457 1230457 Lab fees 900099 729050 729050 Meetings 900099 565365 480365 85000 Other program revenue 900099 4600 4600 4072415 151831 151831 697344 700746 -3402 -3402 -3402 4220844 3987415 0 233429 666656 1195539 94732 224192 120952 67267 38681 100000 23722 408756 207832 147407 89714 32956 387314 174587 66542 Promotion/ publications 307597 Dues and subscriptions 55486 Provision for credit lo 52714 Taxes and licenses 12107 8920 4483673 109496 258893 282981 21794 632649 743820 144605 162590 3790022 2613458 1301151 1176564 2515172 2481487 18520 12914 5004574 4858062 169265 347325 0 9000 603240 457973 19468 13570 791973 827868 X 4212601 4030194 4212601 4030194 5004574 4858062 -262829 80422 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 0 0 1 1542943 100000 -36558 63442 108006 -44564 3323945 2241106 1082839 310498 262051 48447 155579 110301 45278 1176564 Lease liabilities - operating lease 13570 13570 X 4277544 80422 80422 4197122 23722 23722 4220844 4459951 0 4459951 23722 23722 4483673 Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated the Association's tax positions and concluded that the financial statements do not include any uncertain tax positions.
