ALC Names New Executive Director
As of June 1, Scott Dane has become the Executive Director for the American Loggers Council (ALC), replacing the retiring Danny Dructor, who has been with ALC since July 2001.
Dane brings with him a vast amount of experience working with timber harvesting and timber hauling associations, having been the Executive Director for the Associated Contract Loggers and Truckers of Minnesota for the past 17 years. Dane, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last summer, has experience in both the state and national levels in issues impacting timber harvesting and timber hauling.
Dane has been a critical component of the ALC’s work to gain financial assistance for those businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He has also been involved in legislation allowing state legal weight tolerances on the Federal Interstate Highway System and other ALC initiatives like the Future Careers in Logging Act.ALC President Tim Christopherson states, “After close to 18 months of searching for a new executive director for the ALC, the search committee was able to narrow down the field to one candidate. I am pleased that Scott has accepted the position and look forward to working with him during the transition. He has the drive, passion and ambition to take the ALC to the next level.”
Dane adds, “Danny has provided the leadership to develop the American Loggers Council into the leading national voice of the American logging industry. I look forward to continuing to build upon that foundation, expanding the partnerships, supporting the state members with their issues and promoting the agenda of the American Loggers Council.”
The ALC office will be relocated from Texas to Minnesota, where Scott set up the office.
