INDA Accepting Nominations For 2009 Visionary Award

Cary, N.C.-based Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA) is accepting nominations through September 1 for the 2009 Visionary Award. Presented annually since 2002, the award recognizes consumer end products that employ nonwoven fabrics or are manufactured using nonwovens technology. The award will be presented in January at the Vision 2009 Consumer Products Conference in New Orleans.

The process and criteria for the 2009 Visionary Award are as follows:

1. The finished consumer-end product must contain a nonwoven fabric or utilize a nonwoven technology during its manufacturing process.

2. The consumer product has to have been introduced to the trade or to consumers in 2007 to 2008.

3. The product cannot have been selected as a finalist in any previous Visionary Award competition.

4. Companies can nominate their own products. While any number of products can be nominated, only one product per company will be selected as a finalist.

Products may be nominated by e-mailing a product explanation to Michael Jacobsen, Visionary Awards coordinator, mjacobsen@inda.org and sending him a sample at INDA, 22 Paterson Ave., Midland Park, NJ, 07432.
