It’s hard to believe August is already here!

One of the best parts of summer at AIFP is the opportunity to spend more time together as a team and with the people we do business with. Between hosting interns, getting out to visit partners, and finding reasons to connect outside the office, it’s always a great reminder that this business is built on relationships.

We’re looking forward to making the most of the rest of the summer.

A few highlights from last week’s FCTG Intern Social. 👏

Our interns had the chance to step away from their day-to-day responsibilities to pitch ideas, connect with leadership, and continue learning about the industry.

Opportunities like these are just one part of the internship experience, and it’s been exciting to watch this group grow.

Here’s to the second half of the summer!

Each year, we’re honored to visit OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital to present our annual donation and thank the physicians, researchers, and staff whose work changes lives.

This year’s contribution will help support the Oncology Fellowship Program, investing in the next generation of pediatric cancer specialists.

These visits remind us that the most meaningful partnerships extend far beyond business. They connect us to our community, reinforce our values, and give purpose to the work we do every day.

Thank you, Doernbecher Foundation, for allowing us to be a small part of your incredible mission.

Good traders never stop learning.

Our Trader Trainees recently spent time at a local mill, continuing to build their understanding of the products, processes, and people that make our industry work. The small insights gained through experiences like these often become the knowledge that helps them better navigate markets, support customers, and grow in their careers.

That’s why we believe there’s value in staying close to every part of the supply chain.

This past weekend, the Industrial team showed up outside the office at the Eugene Marathon!

Ben Rist ran the full — barefoot.

A few moments from last spring & summer 🤝

Field trips with the team, checking in with our partners, and showing our interns what the “lumber” in lumber trading really looks like—plus a few team celebrations along the way.

We’re excited to welcome a new group, get our boots on the ground, and do it all again.

Let’s run it back.
