SERVICE AWARDS

NWFA Recognizes 2019 Service Award Honorees

The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) was founded as an organization by the industry, for the industry. Participation and feedback from its members are a cornerstone of the NWFA’s growth and significance. Our organization thrives due to the generous support of volunteer instructors, committee members, board members, and numerous others. To thank those members who go above and beyond, the NWFA recognizes volunteers with Service Awards. Service to the industry is defined as giving of one’s time and expertise to advance industry programs, projects, and initiatives. Achievements are calculated based on a cumulative summation of areas of service within the NWFA. These areas include, but are not limited to, participating on NWFA boards, participating on committees, mentoring, participating in the Hardwood Federation Fly-In, proctoring for the NWFACP, and contributing to Hardwood Floors magazine. The Vanguard Service Award is the first award one can achieve. This award requires earning 25 service points. Members then can earn the Ambassador Service Award, which requires earning the Vanguard Award and an additional 25 service points. Specific service activities and their respective points may be found at nwfa.org. The following recipients were recognized at the Wood Flooring Expo this past May in Fort Worth. Honorees also received an achievement pin.
