FCICA, the Flooring Contractors Association, recently celebrated its 35th annual convention in San Antonio, Texas, with another high turnout. A total of 153 people, including more than 40 first-time attendees and six first-time exhibitors, were on hand for an event where the group reminisced on its past while also looking toward the future.
FCICA staff reported that its flagship Certified Installation Manager program (CIM) continues to be successful, with 102 candidates currently in the program and an additional 20 applicants ready to start. The CIM program also receives visibility in the industry through the quarterly Bruce Newbrough Memorial Scholarships, sponsored by Ardex and nora systems, as well as an annual scholarship through INSTALL.
