Members who remain on the board are Michael Crowell, Flexible Foam Products; Perry Davis, Leggett & Platt; Laurie Horne, Springwall Sleep Products; David Karr, Comfortaire; Hank Little, Atlanta Attachment Co.; Jim Malkiewicz, Wickline Bedding; Bill McLaughlin, Select Comfort; Robert Parker, Restonic, Johnson City; Bryan Smith, Southerland; Tom Taylor, Western Nonwovens; Alvaro Vaselli, Foamex International; Don Wright, Wright of Thomasville, and Dave Young, VyMaC Corp.
Completing their terms on the board were Ken Conaway, Future Foam; Harrison Murphy, Ventex; Michael Pino, SOL Global; and Bob Naboicheck, Standard Mattress.
“These four professionals have made wonderful contributions to the association. Our board and staff appreciate their fine support, and we look forward to their continued leadership here at ISPA,” said Doyle.
