ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION
INSTALLATION SHORTAGE
For years we have known about and experienced the effects of the shortage of floor covering installers in the Chicagoland area. The issue has been acknowledged by Tom Jennings of the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) as well as Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame.
Your Chicago Floorcovering Association is committed to developing a plan to solve this industry issue. It will require pooling the knowledge and expertise of our Chicagoland floor covering retailers, distributors, manufacturers, contractors, and installers, as well as legislators, educators and others. We are organizing such a task force and the first step is this Round Table Discussion.
We need your ideas, insights and suggestions. We are stronger together and we urge you to attend this round table discussion.
When:
Thursday February 22, 2018
Where:
Glendale Lakes Golf Club,
1550 President Street,
Glendale Heights, IL 60139
Time:

This will be a working dinner meeting.
We'll bring the food and beverages. You just bring your ideas and insights.
