BAHAMAS - Members of the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA) came from across the U.S. to attend Foundations 2002, the organization's annual conference, from November 7 to 10, 2002. This year's event was enhanced by its collaboration with the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), which added a new perspective to the conference. In all, over 400 industry professionals were on hand at the event.
Committee and Board meetings were held throughout the first two days, with a goal of further improving association in several areas for 2003. Examples of new projects for 2003 include the following: finalization of the certification program for ceramic tile salespeople; an expanded member newsletter; development of "CTDA University" regional one-day seminars; a retailer-focused Web site; and many other exciting initiatives.
