The Southern Pine Inspection Bureau’s (SPIB) board of governors has announced Steve Singleton, SPIB president, will retire June 30, 2025. Singleton will continue to support the organization in an advisory capacity through the end of the year.
“At our recent spring meeting, we gave tribute to Steve for his leadership these past eleven and a half years,” said Richie LeBlanc, chairman of the board of governors and a board member with the Southern Forest Products Association. “The Board is also pleased to announce that Matt Scholl, vice president of SPIB, will assume the role of president effective July 1.”
“I feel very honored and privileged to have served as SPIB President. It has been a very rewarding experience,” Singleton said. “I’m proud of our accomplishments and know we will continue forward with a very bright future.”
Under Singleton’s leadership, SPIB, which is an associate member of SFPA, has continued to uphold the highest standards of quality and service in the lumber industry. The organization is confident Scholl’s experience and dedication will ensure a seamless transition and continued success.
“I am honored to accept the position of SPIB president and look forward to the journey ahead,” School said. “I am deeply grateful to Steve for his exceptional leadership and guidance, laying the foundation for a promising future.”
