ReSource Commercial Holds Network Exchange 2007

Aurora, CO, May 4, 2007--The ReSource Commercial Flooring Network (RCFN) held its annual dealer conference, Network Exchange, last week in Newport Beach, California at The Island Hotel. This was the first conference for the ReSource Commercial Flooring Network since reorganizing as a member owned group of commercial flooring contractors in March 2006.

 

This meeting was a great opportunity to engage our members and suppliers moving forward as the ReSource Commercial Flooring Network and I believe we accomplished that” said Ron Lee, Executive Director, RCFN.

“All of us from Bentley Prince Street recognized that something special was taking place here and that there was a sense of renewal and recommitment present within the RCFN membership” George Maibach, Vice President Business Development for Bentley Prince Street. Network Exchange brings together member companies and suppliers from across the country to network, share business practices and promote products and services. The meeting program included industry speakers, strategists, tradeshow and awards program.
