The Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA) announced the results of recent elections for officers and members of the Board of Directors.
Steve Mathews of M & B Hangers will serve as President-elect, and will assume this position in April 2014.

As a child I remember my dad (Stan Mathews) being very involved in the Association, even serving as president. He always spoke of the value of the organization, including the business relationships and friendships that he formed. This has been the same for me since I became part of TCATA, and I am truly honored for the opportunity to serve as president.”
