NAFCD Offers Educational Incentive Program

Chicago, IL, May 4, 2009--The Board of Directors of the North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors has announced a new Educational Incentive Program for its 2009 Annual Conference and Distributor Marketplace.

All members, regardless of their category of membership, are eligible to attend NAFCD's Annual Conference free of charge. The program is scheduled for Sept. 22-24 at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa in Glendale, Ariz.

"For 2009, we have adopted a change that allows members unprecedented access to core association benefits," said Jack Lindenschmidt, NAFCD 2009 president.

Features of the incentive program include:

All NAFCD members – distributor, allied, or manufacturer – will receive one complimentary conference attendance with their paid 2009 dues. This offer is on top of other dues expense reductions already implemented for member
firms.

All additional attendees from member organizations will receive 50 percent off conference attendance.

Manufacturer members electing to take a booth at the Conference Marketplace will receive an additional complimentary show-only pass for a member of their team.

The financial impact of the fee elimination or reduction of these fees is significant to the revenue/expense base of the organization.

In a separate announcement to its manufacturers and allied members, NAFCD stated that this offer was extended to the industry in order to bring the decision makers and supporters of the independent floor distribution industry to one location.
