The Flooring Contractors Association (FCICA), in cooperation with Ardex Americas and nora systems, have developed the Bruce Newbrough Memorial Scholarship for the Certified Installation Manager (CIM) program.
The Bruce Newbrough Memorial Scholarship has been established to provide educational opportunities to floor covering installation managers who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to and excellence in proper substrate preparation and installation of floor covering. Bruce Newbrough, as Ardex director of technical services and later applications development, utilized oppertunities to further his vision and passion which was industry education and training on proper substrate preparation, all for the purpose of achieving successful installations. According to Gerry Swift, FCICA's chairman, this is the foundation on which FCICA, was built and the reason that Newbrough was an ambassador of this organization.
