IFDA/NY Announces Re-Vamped Circle of Excellence

Furniture World Magazine

The New York Chapter of the International Furnishings & Design Association has announced plans for its bi-annual salute to home furnishings executives in the New York area. New this year is the addition of the Laurel Award, which will be presented to an industry leader or organization in home furnishings whose achievements have brought prominence to the industry. Also new is the Rising Star Award, which will honor a junior member of IFDA/NY who has fulfilled membership and committee responsibility with great enthusiasm during the last year and has achieved noteworthy success in their chosen career. In re-vamping the Circle of Excellence Awards, IFDA has opened up nominations to all New York home furnishings executives in five categories. The nominees need not be members of IFDA/NY but nominations can only be submitted by members. The categories are Public Relations & Advertising; Media/Editorial; Sales/Marketing; Product Design & Development; Interior Design. The Circle of Excellence Awards will once again take the form of a gala cocktail reception followed by the awards program at the Hudson Theatre in The Millennium hotel. It is set for Tuesday, January 30, 2001. Cocktails & hors d'oeuvres will begin at 6:00 P.M. IFDA is the only all-industry Association whose members provide services and products to the furnishings and design industry and is the driving force through its programs and services to enhance the professionalism and stature of the industry worldwide.
