The Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) recently welcomed Joe Semaan to its board of directors. Semaan serves as president of residential carpet at Mohawk Industries. Before assuming this role last December, he held the position of president for Mohawk’s wood and laminate business. In this capacity, he oversaw the division’s comprehensive operations, managing end-to-end aspects such as research and development, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and service and support within the North American market.
“I am honored to accept the appointment to the FCEF Board of Directors,” said Semaan. “Collaborating with esteemed peers is something I am eager to embrace, and together we’ll shape a brighter future for the flooring industry.”
“We are privileged to have the dedication of so many great leaders in our industry serve on our board,” commented Jim Aaron, executive director of FCEF. “Joe will undoubtedly be a very welcome and impactful addition to this group. We’re looking forward to working closely with Joe to help grow our programs and accelerate our success.”
The FCEF Board of Directors consists of representatives from manufacturers, retailers and industry organizations to provide a wide range of perspectives on solving the shortage of qualified installation craftsmen. Semaan will be filling the Board of Directors’ seat previously held by fellow Mohawk Industries executive Curt Hutchins, who resigned from Mohawk in December.
