Boise, Idaho - Boise Cascade Company (NYSE: BCC) announced Mack Hogans and Kris Matula were elected to its Board of Directors today.

Mr. Hogans was a senior vice president of corporate affairs with Weyerhaeuser Company until October 2004 and currently operates a consulting services business.  He is chairman of Cambia Health Solutions and a director of Regence Blue Shield and U.S. Bank of Washington.  He is also an affiliate professor at the University of Washington's School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.  "Mack has had a very successful career in the forest-products industry and has remained actively involved in issues impacting our industry," commented Boise Cascade Chairman, Duane McDougall.  Mr. Hogans will serve on the Board's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

Mr. Matula retired in August 2012 from Buckeye Technologies, Inc., where he served as president and chief operating officer and a director.  Buckeye, a large, publicly traded producer of cellulose-based specialty products, was acquired by Georgia-Pacific in 2013.  During his career at Buckeye, he also served as chief financial officer and head of Buckeye's nonwovens business.  "Kris brings a strong manufacturing and financial background to our Board," noted Mr. McDougall.  Mr. Matula will serve on the Board's Compensation Committee.
