With the global COVID-19 health crisis, IHA recognizes the importance of networking with your peers and staying on top of the current business environment. During this time, CORE will remain active and in the interest of keeping everyone safe and healthy, we will conduct meetings virtually as led by each region’s CORE facilitator. If you are interested in participating, please contact your region’s CORE facilitator.

CORE is a unique resource of networking peer groups designed exclusively for industry decision-makers. Since 1998, CEOs in the housewares industry have been using CORE groups as a sounding board and a special resource to help meet professional challenges. Meetings are held quarterly in Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Ft. Lee, N.J., Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Toronto, Canada and Weston, Fla.
