CPA Educational Foundation
In Memory of Robert E. Dougherty
In 1960, Robert Dougherty, a Washington, DC lawyer with a lumber association background, was selected by members of the particleboard industry to be the first Executive Vice President of the newly formed National Particleboard Association (NPA), a position he held until his retirement 23 years later. During those years, Bob kept his fingers on the pulse of an industry that grew from 232 million square feet/year to more than 3 billion square feet/year today.
Bob Dougherty passed away in 1985 after providing industry with more than two decades of invaluable service and leadership. The CPA Educational Foundation was formed in 1986 by the members of the NPA (now the CPA) in memory Robert Dougherty. The Foundation's sole purpose is to provide financial assistance to students in industry related fields of study.
The CPA Educational Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors and is sponsored and funded by the Composite Panel Association (CPA).
