AOL Mission and Goals
"Written decades ago, and periodically updated, the association mission & goals today
remain a relevant guide to AOL’s board, officers, and staff in providing valued
services that help member companies compete and prosper in the challenging 2010s
forest business climate.
Founded in 1969, for more than 40 years the association has provided business services
to contract logging firms and allied forestry businesses.
Our Mission
Being successful in your own business is one of the most rewarding achievements
that a person can attain. Not only will it provide economic rewards, it is also
confirmation of one's faith in themselves that they can make it in today's complex
business world.
The challenges faced by the Contract Logger and the businesses associated with this
endeavor have never been greater. While independence is a goal for all of us, we
realize that we stand a much greater chance for success if we have the right help.
