FCEF Flooring Futures Summit Seeks Support From Industry in Effort to Remedy Installation Crisis
The Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) hosted its first ever Flooring Futures Summit on September 20, 2022 at the Dalton Convention Center in Dalton, Georgia. The FCEF team, its partners and leaders within the flooring industry presented information on the progress thus far with training and education, donations—both financial and product, and what it still needs to accomplish the monumental task of remedying the shortage of qualified flooring installers.
Don Roberts, owner, Central Alabama Flooring, and president of the board of directors, FCEF, reviewed the Blackstone Group report that states the industry is losing 5,000 to 6,000 installers per year.
