Board Leadership

FCIF Board 2026

The Foundation’s Board Members wanted to share why they are passionate about FCIF's work.

Executive Committee:

Charlie Dilks, Board Chair, CCA Global Partners:
“The FCIF provides grants to recipients exclusively within the floor covering industry and is funded almost entirely from donations made from within the industry. Knowing that your donation, large or small, will be used to benefit someone in your industry who is suffering as a result of a catastrophic illness or life altering event, is a differentiation unique to very few charities”.

Scott Humphrey, Board Vice-Chair World Floor Covering Association:
“FCIF is my chance to give back to the people and industry that has supported me and my family for multiple generations. My support is one way of saying “thank you” to those who have worked in the industry I have called home for almost my entire life.”
