Manchester, NH (May 16, 2005) – As Flooring America continues to maximize their internal talent, Tim Leaver, former regional manager of the Southwest area, was promoted to Director of Communications.

With his experience working directly with members as a regional manager and a strong marketing/communications background, Leaver is a natural fit for this new position. Leaver will now be responsible for member communications, including Neighborhood Network, Flooring America's powerful member support program that brings members together in common and nearby markets to inform them of opportunities and provide a sounding board for information, training, advice, and ideas.
