Mike Chmielecki, editor of Floor Covering Installer, reflects on the recently-held second Installation Summit, talking about the groups that were in attendance, the mission of the event — that is developing solutions to the shortage of qualified flooring installers facing retailers and contractors. Chmielecki discusses the nature of the problem and how many in the field have solved it for their businesses, how pay has played a major role in the problem, and his expectations of the results the summit will produce.
