Mike Cherico to Lead Membership Efforts for CCA Global Partners
Manchester, New Hampshire (March 13, 2009) – CCA Global Partners has named Mike Cherico Senior Vice President of Membership. In this position, Cherico will lead membership efforts for Carpet One Floor & Home, Flooring America and the International Design Guild.
Cherico brings three decades of experience to this key position. He began his career in 1979 in a retail floor covering showroom. Nine years later, he owned two retail floor covering showrooms in Buffalo, New York, which he ran successfully for five years before becoming vice President/Director of membership for a national retail floor covering group. In 1998, he became President of Georgia Carpet Outlets (GCO). In 2001, GCO became part of CCA Global Partners, which immediately invited Cherico to its St. Louis headquarters to lead its Lighting One and Floor Trader divisions.
“We are very excited that Mike Cherico will be our new Senior Vice President of Membership,” says Howard Brodsky, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of CCA Global Partners. “He has achieved great success at every stage of his career, both as a member of the CCA family, and in previous positions. His remarkable abilities make him a natural choice for this new role. During these difficult times, when more retailers are realizing the advantages of joining the CCA cooperative retail group, we could not have made a better choice than Mike Cherico to head up our membership efforts.”
