LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, today announced the appointment of LP Chair and CEO Brad Southern to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s Board of Directors for its Nashville Branch.

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors appointed Southern to a three-year term that began January 1, 2024. As a Nashville Branch director, Southern will furnish economic insights from the manufacturing and homebuilding sectors that will aid the district bank’s president and head office directors in formulating monetary policy and discount rate recommendations.

He serves on the boards of directors of the National Association of Manufacturers and the Forest Products Association of Canada and holds a Master of Science in forest resources from the University of Georgia.

Reflecting on this appointment, Southern said, “I’m humbled to represent our industry on the Atlanta Fed’s Nashville Board, contributing to its important public mission. Manufacturing is a cornerstone of U.S. economic growth, and it is an honor to serve as a bridge between the Federal Reserve, the manufacturing industry and the public.”
