The TTF has a highly qualified team at its core. Our governance is conducted through a Governing Board comprising representatives of our product divisions of Softwood, Hardwood and Panel Products and representatives of all our regional organisations plus our major members.
Within the Governing Board also sits a Sustainability and Compliance committee, Forests Forever.

These committees oversee the TTF’s policy development and provide a conduit through which the TTF team communicates with the membership. The Governing Board approves the overarching strategic plan and provides oversight of its implementation.
