CFA Kicks Off WFCA – CFI Installation Event on Jan. 14

The Chicago Floorcovering Association (CFA) will hold the first joint WFCA-CFI installation event, dubbed “the WFCA-CFI Installation Extravaganza,” on Jan. 14. According to Tom Shepardson, CFA president, “We welcome flooring installers from everywhere to attend our first event of 2014 in Elk Grove, Ill., at E. J. Welch. This is a huge savings for CFI training which is normally $495 per workshop. With the $200 WFCA sponsorship per installer for WFCA members and the opportunity to use additional WFCA scholarships, it’s an event no one should miss.”

“WFCA is actively involved in installation training by partnering with the CFI to bring five workshops to the first WFCA-sponsored event of 2014,”  noted Tom Jennings, WFCA vice president, member services. “Installers have the opportunity of attending a class during the first session Jan. 14-15 in resilient or ceramic. On Jan. 16-17, they can attend the hardwood/laminate or carpet workshop. This is an exciting opportunity for installers to enhance their skills and become up-to-date on all the current methods of installation. WFCA is making a huge investment in 2014 in installation training by bringing the programs to different areas throughout the nation.  We invite everyone to participate and take advantage of the CFI programs.”
