SLR has been active in ASTM for nearly 20 years, as a means to network with other industry professionals, contribute to the development and improvement of standards related to transactions involving commercial property and timberlands, and to advocate for best practices in the industry. Mr. Lesh is the current task group lead for the E2247 task group, who recently published the E2247-23 standard in December of last year.
