One of my favorite things to do as ICPA Executive Director is to visit our manufacturer members around the country! I learn more and more about our industry each time, as I get to talk face-to-face with our manufacturers and discuss how the association can better serve them. It is so enlightening to tour the plants, watch production, hear why each is unique and see their beautiful products. I always come away from these visits with new energy and excitement about our industry and our association!
This past month I had the privilege of visiting Ashley and Alex Boling, owners of Kitchen Tops in Knoxville, TN.
I also traveled across Wisconsin to visit SFI, Inc., The Marble Shop, Elite Marble, Bradley Corporation, and Inpro. Thank you to all these companies, the owners and staff for taking the time to meet with me and give tours of their plants and showrooms. I look forward to heading out in late September to visit manufacturers in Colorado and Utah.
We have begun our 2018-19 membership year! At press time, about 92% of members have renewed and two new manufacturers have joined us. If you have not already renewed your membership, please do so before September 1st to prevent loss of benefits including:
- Company listing on the ICPA website directory
- Access to resources including the group forum
- Highly discounted POLYCON registration
- Member-only opportunities at POLYCON (like the Onyx Collection Tour)

Renew or join today! It is easy on the ICPA website.
I look forward to serving you this year!
Best Regards,
Jennifer Towner
