Chicago—Celebrating leaders in the floor covering industry, the North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) announced its NAFCD Lifetime Achievement Award and NAFCD Growth Award recipients earlier this month at the 2015 NAFCD Annual Convention.
New this year, NAFCD recognized a member who has made outstanding contributions in furthering NAFCD membership. From increasing engagement with current members and growing support from industry partners to exceptional efforts in member recruitment, the NAFCD Growth Award is presented to a member who has had a positive impact on the association over the past year. Heidi Cronin-Mandell of The Cronin Co. was presented with this year’s NAFCD Growth Award.
The NAFCD Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals who have shown exceptional leadership and made outstanding contributions that have led to expanding the vision of the floor covering industry. Buddy Faircloth of Cain & Bultman and Bobby Thomas of T&L Distributing were both 2015 recipients of the award.
“All award recipients have made a tremendous impact in the floor covering distribution industry,” said Kevin Gammonley, NAFCD executive vice president.
