Lumber and Building Material Expo '08

POINT SYSTEM

Booth placement at the LBM Expo ‘09 is awarded in two phases by a point system. During the first phase, completed applications received by June 13, 2008, with a 50 percent deposit check, are placed by the number of points earned by each company. (Please no faxed applications) If the 50 percent deposit check is not received with the application, the booth WILL be assigned upon receipt of the deposit. In the second phase, all applications received after June 13, 2008, are placed on a first-come, first-served basis. If, during that time period, two applications requesting the same booth space are received on the same date, the point system will be used to determine placement.

HOW IT WORKS (You must be an exhibitor to earn points.)

Each company is awarded points in several categories:

• Number of NRLA shows since 1996 in which a company exhibited (one point per year).

• Total of NRLA convention booths the company reserved at LBM Expo 2008 (one point per 10¹ x 10¹ space).

• Number of years since 1996 during which the company was an exhibitor, as well as an NRLA member in good standing (50 points allotted per year).

• Two percent of total sponsorship dollars spent on the 2008 Expo (dollar amount assigned in points).

• Two percent of total advertising dollars spent in The Lumber Co-operator from March/April 2007 - Jan/Feb 2008 (dollar amount assigned in points).

• Two percent of NYLE Membership paid for Dues Year 2007 will be awarded to individual companies in good standing with both the NRLA and NYLE at the time of application. (6 points allotted per company).

The points in each of these categories will be added together. In the event that two or more companies with equal points request the same space, the space will be assigned to the company based on two percent of total advertising dollars from the 2008 LBM Expo Show Guide (dollar amount assigned in points). If the companies are still tied, the date the application was received by the NRLA will be the deciding factor..

• If two companies merge, the new entity will be awarded the higher of the individual company’s points for each year, and the new entity can only receive a maximum of 50 points per year for membership.
