GPI and SAIF have agreed to allow selected accounts to enroll in the GPI group who may not necessarily be affiliated with the wood products industry. This initiative is the result of our support of GPI's desire to offer their focused association services to larger employers with similar business tenets to GPI, irrespective of industry affiliation.

As a result of the OGSERP rules 50% provision and GPI's business plan, GPI and SAIF will be very selective in our joint decision to enroll non-wood products employers in the GPI group. To that end we have developed an employer profile, focused marketing strategies and a specialized underwriting process to help ensure success.
