FcB2B, the Floor Covering
Business to Business Association, elected its board of directors during its
first annual meeting in Atlanta. The board includes: D. Christopher Davis, CEO
of the World Floor Covering Association, as chairman; Ed Korczak, executive
director of the National Wood Flooring Association, as vice chairman; and Rick
Church, executive director of the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association, as
secretary-treasurer/CFO. Aaron Pirner, CEO of CAP Carpet, and Pamela Bowe,
president of Bowe Co., remain as co-presidents of the organization.
Additional board members include Frank Hurd, COO of the Carpet and Rug
Institute; and Steve Johnson, president of Butler-Johnson Corp., representing
the North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors.
“Over a
relatively brief period of time we have watched the adoption of this technology
grow throughout the distribution chain,” Davis said. “Interest in this topic
has been facilitated by seminars, educational forums and focus groups, all
designed to increase awareness of B2B technology and the benefits now
available.”
Founded
last year, fcB2B is designed to promote and enhance B2B communications and
services throughout the industry. This includes advocating customer/supplier
electronic transactions, as well as developing B2B standards for use throughout
the industry.
