What do our members have to say?
“I’ve found KWPA to be an exemplary organization. The passion, knowledge, and enjoyment of our craft is always on display by the leadership, members and guests. Within the association the titles “vendors,” “customers,” “suppliers,” or “competitors” simply do not apply. I think “community” is the much more applicable term. Our meetings serve as a regular reminder of how proud I am that my family has played a role in this noble industry.” - Justin Gittler, Catawissa Lumber
