Society members come from a wide range of professional sectors including private and public research and development, industrial management and production, marketing, education, government, engineering and consulting.
Aside from putting together technical conferences, FPS also produces several journals including the peer-reviewed Forest Products Journal and publishes books on topics important to the forest products industry. (Rizalina K. Araral, 06 July 2015)#
