EVENT NEWS

2019 Window & Door Dealer Day Recap

Nearly 90 owners and top managers of retail window and door businesses gathered Monday at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center for the 2019 Window & Door Dealer Day. Hosted by WDDA, this event offered a full day of education and networking to help dealers build more profitable businesses.



The 2019 Dealer of the Year awards, presented by Rick Locke of Windows, Doors & More, began the day on a high note with a celebration of industry excellence. This prestigious program, supported by Window + Door magazine, recognizes benchmarks of professionalism in our industry, offers new ideas that others can implement in their businesses, and highlights the continued development and evolution of companies in the window and door supply chain. The 2019 recipients are profiled in the September issue of Window + Door.
