A Message From Our President
Dear Midwest Furniture Club Members,
The Midwest Furniture Club has a long lineage of furniture professionals who worked together to cultivate and maintain a local community within the Home Furnishings Industry. Their hard work and dedication helped shape the industry and grow the marketplace in Chicagoland and the Midwest. During times like this, it is essential to have a trusted network of colleagues to help navigate the turbulent market conditions and uncertain times ahead.
Our current club organizes social events, golf outings and the Midwest Furniture Show. It continues to be a great way to network with other factory reps, service providers and retail dealers in our marketplace. Plus, as a chapter of IHFRA, we receive all their benefits including discounts on travel, clothing, cellphone, office supplies, printing, and shipping. As well as legal advice, job postings, insurance programs and other services.
We meet monthly, via Zoom, to discuss current business conditions, market trends, industry news and events taking place here in the Midwest and Nationally. Let us know if you would like to attend and we can send you a meeting link. We welcome and encourage our members to join the meetings, attend our social events and participate in the show if possible. To become a member, simply go to the “Become a Member” link on our website.
The highlight of this year will be the Midwest Furniture Show. We are anticipating a strong turnout on September 13th-15th at White Eagle in Niles, IL. See the show link on our website for registration and other details. We hope to see you there!
Please reach out to any of our board members if you have any questions about becoming a member, advertising on the website, sponsoring an event or involvement on the board.
We appreciate your membership!
Sincerely,
Mark Dilling, MFC President
