Chicago, March 24--The NAFCD Management Conference, "Business Theory Put into Practical Action," will be held May 13-15, 2005, on The Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio.
The conference offers an interactive study program from the purchasing, marketing, merchandising, warehousing and branch outlet disciplines of the floorcovering industry.
Designed for managers who have moved from a functional area within their company into general management responsibilities, this two-and-a-half-day program builds on best business practices that take managers a step beyond mid-level management.

Dr. Mathews has been academic director of the National Association of Wholesalers’ program at The OSU for 15 years, and focuses on wholesale distribution.
He will be joined by Anthony Campagna, PhD, emeritus professor of management and human resources at The Ohio State University.
