FCICA (the Flooring Contractors Association) held its Mid-Year Meeting recently in New Castle, Del., welcoming more than 80 people. The record Mid-Year attendance included 21 first-time attendees, looking to learn more about the organization and bring some business best practices back to their companies. All industry professionals on hand were also invited to a tour of the new Uzin Utz plant in Dover, Del.
At the start of the second day of the show, FCICA honored Gary Kloth—an industry veteran with deep roots in the organization—as its newest Honorary Member. Upon receiving the award, Kloth stated, “It’s an honor to be here among some of the best in the industry. FCICA is an industry incubator of sorts. It’s good to win an award, but getting one from your peers is even better. That’s when it really means something.”
