Unfinished Furniture Association History
At the Chicago Unfinished Furniture Show in August 1988, a small group of individuals gathered for an informal discussion about the state of the industry. It was apparent that unfinished furniture was suffering from a serious image problem. There was also a lack of cohesiveness and camaraderie among industry members. Attending the discussion were Dan Geribo, Ed Firestone, Bruce MacGowen, Bernie Norieka, Ray Passis, and Linda Utterback.
The following month, 41 individuals met in Norwood, Mass., to see whether the concerns so prevalent in Chicago were shared by others. Dan Geribo of Unfinished Furniture House/Mastercraft sponsored the meeting. It was clear that for the industry to grow and prosper, a larger grassroots effort involving as many manufacturers, representatives, and dealers as possible was needed. A temporary Northeast Steering Committee was formed to guide this effort and plan the next meeting.
