CFI Announces New Membership Tiers to Enable Wider Industry Participation
The International Certified Flooring Installers Association (CFI) announced expanded membership opportunities. The CFI Board of Directors has approved the addition of a nonprofit membership tier and an expansion of the associate-level membership to include non-CFI Certified individuals and reducing membership fees, to encourage wider participation from every industry served by the association.
"Since our inception in 1993, the membership aspect of CFI has been the foundation of our organization," says Robert Varden, CFI’s executive director. "It's a place for passionate professionals who share common goals and challenges to unite and gain knowledge, learn best practices, establish friendships, and grow – both professionally and personally. This new membership level is an important vehicle for us to expand our reach and make our programs more accessible to young professionals and welcome them into our family. Our work of elevating the trade by creating more knowledgeable, professional and skilled craftsmen is so important in shaping the future of our industry.”
