Each October, IHFRA hosts “FIAG”–the Furniture Industry Awards Gala. This is the event of the year, where we gather to reconnect with friends over good food & drink and recognizethose who truly shined in the industry this past year. The awards presented include the Retailer of the Year, Pillar of the Industry, Icon of the Industry, and the highest honor bestowed on a sales representative, the Distinguished Service Award.
