CRI's Yarbrough Meets with Congressional Representatives in D.C.
Joe Yarbrough, president of the Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI), traveled to Washington, D.C., for two days of back-to-back meetings with congressional representatives and the presidents of two allied trade associations.
Though active in government relations for many years on behalf of his former employer, Mohawk Industries, Yarbrough said the recent trip was notable as his first opportunity to meet with congressional representatives on behalf of the entire CRI membership. Yarbrough retired from Mohawk in March as senior vice president for advanced manufacturing engineering.
