The Eastern New York Lumber Dealers Association’s (ENYLDA) and Northern New York Lumber Dealers Association’s (NNYLDA) Annual Meeting took center stage at the stunning High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid, N.Y., delivering an energizing and memorable evening for both associations. For years, each group held its annual meeting alongside other events—but this new combined format gave them the chance to host a focused, standalone celebration that truly showcased the strength of both organizations.
Nearly 90 members attended, with an even split between ENYLDA and NNYLDA, creating a powerful sense of unity. The lively atmosphere carried into the night as members continued the fun at a local restaurant, turning great conversation into even better networking.
