Los Angeles Chapter Director Vince Attardo reports that the LA Chapter held a successful chapter meeting, with 30-plus attendees sitting in on a discussion with past CFI Director Al Casas and IICRC Vice President Darrell Paulsen.

Chapter Director Graham Bedwell had a busy two weeks as he represented the CFI at the Connections Convention in Florida (mostly on door guard duty), and was accepted as the new CFI representative to the IICRC at the IICRC Board of Directors meeting.

The CFI mourns the passing of our good friend and President Emeritus Carl Williams. He was the founder and president of The Academy of Textiles & Flooring in Whittier, California.
