CFI Celebrates 17 Years of Success!

“If it is to be, it is up to ME!” Star-Studded Recognition of All CFI Members!

CFI announces the 17th anniversary celebration in Kansas City, Missouri August 19-21, 2010.

Education! Training! Learning opportunities abound at the CFI Convention. There is something for everyone from carpet, tile, laminate, wood, resilient and business topics. The associate seminars provide an opportunity for everyone to know the latest about new products, tools and technical information.

On Thursday evening at 5:30, the WFCA-sponsored Leadership Conference kicks off the CFI Convention. This is additional opportunity for attendees to become highly motivated to manage their careers in a manner that brings rewards and enjoyment.

Seminars are scheduled to enhance installation techniques, business and presentation skills. The installation workshops feature “hands-on” participation in different flooring surfaces, best business practices, the commercial installation marketplace, finished concrete flooring, laminate workshop, woven workshop, the compatibility of wood with concrete, National Association of the Self Employed seminar, insurance and bonding information and the consequences associated with moisture and alkalinity.

The motivating speakers, networking with industry associates, meeting with friends and the opportunity to be involved in the always-exciting CFI Associate FUN event are just a few of the many things awaiting the attendees.

According to Jim Walker, CEO, “Nowhere is the impact of the accomplishments of the CFI members as visible as it is at the Convention. It is rewarding to be involved in the achievements of the individual members and the enthusiasm they have for being at the top of their careers. It’s impossible to attend this event and not witness how flooring installation could be represented to the consumers if everyone shared this enthusiasm and attitude. The CFI Convention is the place to be for everyone in this industry and especially, for the flooring installers.” (Read more…)
