2022 Furniture Industry Awards Gala

The International Home Furnishings Representatives Association cordially invites you to the 26th annual Furniture Industry Awards Gala on October 21, 2022, to be held at the recently completed Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena and Conference Center, at High Point University.

“The new facility is stunning and hosting our Furniture Industry Awards Gala (FIAG) at High Point University dovetails perfectly with our theme: Students Of The Game—The Class of 2022 Honor Roll,” said Ray Allegrezza, Executive Director for IHFRA.

Allegrezza added that the upcoming FIAG will honor industry standouts who have not only improved their companies but have also elevated the industry’s image by making it more efficient, professional, and consumer-centric.

With that in mind, this year’s honorees are Ron Wanek, the founder of America's largest home furniture manufacturer and retailer, Ashley Furniture, who will receive IHFRA’s coveted ICON Award.

Jack Hawn, CEO at Zenith Global Logistics, will receive the Pillar Of The Industry Award and Top 100 Retailer, David Koehler, CEO of Johnny Janosik Furniture, will be presented with IHFRA’s Retailer of the Year.

Tommy Leflein, a veteran independent sales rep and an IHFRA past president, will receive the group’s Distinguished Service Award. This year, two IHFRA members, Neil Freidman and J. Michael Anderson will receive IHFRA’s Legacy Rep Award and Anderson’s son, Craig Anderson, will receive the Rising Star Award at this year’s gala.
