The Industrial Fabrics Association International has adopted a new name, the Advanced Textiles Association, effective June 1. The name change was approved in April with 85.6 percent of association members casting their votes to do so. Association bylaws require the approval of two-thirds of those returning ballots. The results were audited by Clifton Larson Allen. "This is an exciting time for our great association," said IFAI Chairman Amy Bircher. "President & CEO Steve Schiffman and his staff have worked hard to meet the needs of our members in finding a name that reflects the vision for our future, yet still honoring the past and the importance of our history." The new name reflects the evolving textile industry and is designed to position the association to meet the needs of members and the industry. The board of directors, staff and industry partners have been researching the IFAI brand for more than a year, with the goal of ensuring the association is well-positioned for the future. |
