At the recent INSTALL Michigan Floor Symposium in Detroit, nine partners joined the installation alliance. The latest addition brings the total to 16 since January with about 60 partners nationwide. The symposium is just one of about six that will occur throughout 2008. "Our goal is to create a networking opportunity among the three critical components of a project: the contractor, the supplier or manufacturer and the customer," said Tom Lutz, coordinator of the INSTALL Michigan program and a member of the INSTALL National Labor-Management Committee. "We believe the regional symposium format will allow local professionals to meet and discuss the importance of including installation specifications for a project. Doing so will promote the use of competent, skilled flooring professionals."
