and develops policy recommendations.
The Standards Committee admin-
isters the KCMA Standards and Certifica-
tion Program including the ANSI review,

courage the use of voluntary standards.

KCMA keeps members informed
of proposed government regulations.
It also offers a great opportunity to
interact with our peers. The certi;cation programs are also essential. My
advice is to attend the conferences/
meetings/tours and get involved. We
need to protect our industry – we do
not want to become like the furniture
industry and disappear from U.S.
manufacturing.

Master WoodCraft Cabinetry
Kitchen cabinet manufacturers are
our main customers and we believe
in participating in trade associations
to be able to shape and know about
important issues facing our industry.
As a supplier, the main bene;t for
us is that we are able to get to know
our customers, face to face, and on a
personal level.
