NWFA wood flooring manufacturer members are invited to participate in the roundtable discussions that will focus on industry trends, challenges, supply and demand, standards and legislative and environmental matters. The industry professionals who will start the exchanges with topic presentations include Judd Johnson, Hardwood Market Report; Santo Torcivia, Market Insights; Wendy Hennessy, UL Environment; Dana Lee Cole, Hardwood Federation; and Brian Sause, Hardwood Plywood & Veneer Association.

 

“We’re happy to have this lineup of experts to offer their insights for those who attend the Manufacturers Assembly,” said John Forbes, NWFA's director of manufacturer services, “but the roundtable discussions their presentations will spark is especially of value to participants, and the industry. This is a chance for the leadership in wood flooring manufacturing to come together, share insights, benefit from one another, and help solidify the industry’s path forward.”

 

The event will begin with a hospitality reception on March 24 at the host hotel. Presentations and roundtable collaboration will take place on March 25. The meeting is being held in conjunction with the Hardwood Manufacturers Association (HMA) National Conference & Expo, March 25 to 27, which NWFA members have the opportunity to attend at the HMA member rate.
