Jim Girvan is a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) who has dedicated over four decades of his life to the British Columbia forest industry. Jim's name is synonymous across North America in respect to fibre supply forecasting and the varied lobby efforts on the part of independent timber harvesting contractors, consultants, forest licensees, and investors. Residing in Ladysmith. BC, Jim is a recipient of the Distinguished Forest Professional Award from the Association of BC Forest Professionals. He has previously served as Executive Director of the Truck Loggers Association of BC, and has advocated for the forest industry through various articles and speaking engagements. Girvan earned a Masters of Business Administration from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and is the author of the book '𝑰𝒇 𝑰 𝑯𝒂𝒅 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏,' which is available online at https://bit.ly/JimGirvanBook. Completing his MBA led Jim into boardrooms in the corporate world where he worked as a commercial lender at one of Canada’s big banks, a wood supply analyst at a major pulp and paper company, and a lobbyist with a major logging association before returning to consulting work for the balance of his career. In his spare time, Girvan served on numerous committees and councils related to safety, stumpage and forestry education.
