Don Finkell Elected Chairman of the Board of Hardwood Federation

Don Finkell, retiring CEO of Shaw Hardwood and Anderson Hardwood Floors (Greenville, SC), has been unanimously elected Chairman of the Board of the Washington, DC-based Hardwood Federation.  The Hardwood Federation is the only national trade organization representing all sectors of the hardwood business, all the way up the supply chain from the land right to consumers.

“I’m honored my colleagues have put their faith in me and I’m looking forward to carrying on the great work my predecessors have been doing,” said Finkell.  “My main goal for the Federation is to broaden its base of support within the hardwood associations and their member companies. The Hardwood Federation does incredible work on behalf of the entire American hardwood industry, however, support has always been centered among a handful of big producer associations.  I want to get more organizations and companies that directly benefit from our work to support us.  The more voices are heard, the more effective the Federation can be for everyone.”
