The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) will host its University of Innovative Distribution (UID) In-a-Day on October 22. These courses will occur on the first day of the 2024 NAFCD Annual Convention, which will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana.

This one-day workshop will help distribution and supply managers hone their leadership skills and grow their businesses. 

National keynote speaker and author Gail Alofsin will be leading two separate UID In-a-Day sessions in the morning and afternoon.

Alofsin's first session "Cultivating Leadership Excellence: Collaboration, Communication and Commitment" introduces techniques to productively navigate the workplace.

In the afternoon session, "Re-igniting Your SPARK! The Power of Positivity," Alofsin presents the connection between a positive attitude and legacy results.

Alex Chausovsky will lead the final session of the day, "The Emerging Leader's Approach to Talent Strategy — Best Practices for Career Progression." Chausovsky is the director of analytics and consulting at the Bundy Group. He is a highly experienced market researcher and analyst with more than twenty years of experience working with small businesses, trade associations and Fortune 500 companies across the globe. His session will be a hybrid presentation and panel designed for leaders to grow in their own career and to lead others to do the same.

The 2025 UID session will be March 10-13 in Indianapolis, Indiana
