The award celebrates outstanding achievements and progressive leadership of the nation’s home furnishings retailers. 

Association members in good standing were nominated by members of the home furnishings industry based on their service to the industry and to their communities and for providing an exceptional customer experience in their store. Candidates will be considered in two categories—businesses with sales volume under $10 million and those with sales volume $10 million or above. 

A selection committee, including NAHFA’s board members, a sponsor manufacturer, an industry supplier, a former award recipient, an active member of IHFRA’s executive committee and a member of the industry press will review the nominations. Winners will be announced during the April High Point Furniture Market.
