Director Maria M. Pope stated that, "We are pleased to have Bill join the Board. His breadth and depth of forest products industry experience will help guide the Partnership and our fund investments. The flip-side of this is that, after two decades of service, we will miss Doug's well-honed strategic business instincts, financial acumen, and extensive real estate experience. Doug has served as lead director since 2000 and also led Pope Resources on an interim basis in 2000 while the Partnership conducted a formal search for its next CEO. He has been instrumental in the growth of the Partnership and we will miss his leadership and wise counsel."
Mr. Brown was previously President of Green Diamond Resource Company, a West Coast forest products and land company, and prior to that he was employed by Plum Creek Timber Company where he held a variety of positions, rising to the role of Executive VP and CFO.
Pope Resources, a publicly traded limited partnership, and its subsidiaries Olympic Resource Management and Olympic Property Group, own or manage 192,000 acres of timberland and development property in Washington, Oregon, and California.
