More than 500 area architects, facility managers, and other construction officials from Illinois recently spent two days at the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters’ Training Center for a regional industry education and networking event. The Chicago Regional Council used this event as an excellent opportunity to reinforce the importance of developing relationships with industry leaders, creating a network of business contacts and making connections through which the union, its members and its signatory contractors can all prosper.



Flooring Resources is proud to have participated in this event as part of the Professional Flooring Installers Association (PFIA). The PFIA operated an informative booth about best practices in floor covering as well as carpet and floor maintenance. The PFIA also hosted a cocktail reception after the event.

We found the classes to be informative, spanning a number of topics such as green building materials and green practices, LEED Certification, and economic assessments. The event was the first of its kind for the Training Center and ran from October 14-15, 2009. We hope to attend next year with and even bigger success!
