NAFCD and NBMDA Announce Reciprocal Membership Dues Discounts
CHICAGO – The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) announced that as an added member benefit, all NAFCD members can now receive a 50% discount on membership in the North American Building Material Distribution Association (NBMDA) for a limited time.

NBMDA is the trade association representing the leading wholesale distributors of surfacing materials, wood panels, cabinet hardware, wood finishes and related products. NAFCD and NBMDA have co-sponsored an Annual Convention each November for the past seven years.

As part of the reciprocal agreement, NBMDA will be offering a 50% discount on NAFCD membership dues to all NBMDA members who join NAFCD. The new agreement is expected to grow membership for both organizations and further cements their long-time partnership designed to increase member value.

“NAFCD and NBMDA are highly complementary organizations. There is growing interest in firms belonging to both associations as distributors continue to diversify their product mix” commented NAFCD Executive Vice President, Kevin Gammonley. “Manufacturers of such products as adhesives, abrasives, wood finishes & coatings, and countertops sell into both distribution channels and thus have an interest in joining both associations.

“The NAFCD – NBMDA partnership continues to strengthen and evolve. We’re very excited about this new offering and expect that members of both associations will take advantage of this unique opportunity.”
