The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) is calling on its members to submit nominations for the 2013-2014 NAFCD Board of Directors, as well as the 2013 NAFCD Leadership in Action and Lifetime Achievement Awards. All three nomination processes represent opportunities to recognize leaders in the floor covering industry.

• NAFCD Board of Directors Serving on the NAFCD Board of Directors provides the opportunity to play a leadership role within the industry. Board members’ roles are critical to the success of NAFCD. Supporting the continuous improvement of the association to ensure that programs and services are targeting the needs of the membership is essential to this role.

• NAFCD Leadership in Action Award Nominations The Leadership in Action Award recognizes individuals for the positive impact and meaningful contributions that they have made to their company’s success. This is an opportunity to highlight a future leader within your company. The award recipient will receive a scholarship toward enrollment in the University of Industrial Distribution (UID) program held each spring.

• NAFCD Lifetime Achievement Award Nominations For exceptional leadership or outstanding contributions that have led to expanding the vision of the floor covering distribution industry, this award is presented to any individual that meets the criteria, regardless of membership in NAFCD.

“NAFCD is pleased to offer three highly valued opportunities for leaders in the floor covering industry,” said George Roth, NAFCD President. “Serving on the board of directors is one of the best ways I have found to grow my leadership skills and serve the industry. I encourage members to take advantage of these honors and consider serving on the board or recognizing a qualified candidate with one of the two NAFCD awards.”

Nominations will be accepted through September 6, 2013. Award winners will be announced at the 2013 NAFCD + NBMDA Annual Convention, taking place November 12-14, in Chicago, Illinois. Terms for the board of directors begin in November 2013. Learn more about all nomination processes at www.nafcd.org.
