Four Companies Join Natural Stone Foundation Leadership Society
OBERLIN, Ohio — Four companies recently joined the Leadership Society of the Natural Stone Foundation — an honor given to companies and individuals who have made sizeable contributions.
Antolini Luigi & C., Arizona Tile, Genesee Cut Stone & Marble Co. and Miles Supply Co. all noted the work of the foundation and the Natural Stone Institute in offering support.
“The reason is simple: we are proud of the good job the Natural Stone Institute and the Foundation are doing for the stone industry,” said Antolini CEO Alberto Antolini. “We are happy to support and promote natural stone together!”
“Arizona Tile is proud to support the Natural Stone Foundation and its initiatives to educate and assist the stone industry and its members,” said Matt Huarte, Arizona Tile vice president of operations.
“As a member of the Natural Stone Institute for over 20 years, Arizona Tile welcomes this opportunity.”
“Donations to the Natural Stone Institute Foundation are the best way we know to promote our industry and provide education and career nourishment to both experienced and young people in the stone industry,” noted Paul, partner at Genesee Cut Stone & Marble Co.
“Miles Supply is proud to support the Foundation for its efforts to educate the next generation about all aspects of the stone industry,” said Eric Chaloux, Miles Supply sales manager. “Getting behind their work to provide resources for apprenticeship programs is key towards training up a skilled workforce within the industry.”
The Foundation has also obtained pledges from all current Foundation board members, as well as many Natural Stone Institute board members and other industry leaders. They are on track to reach their goal of raising $1.1 million in commitments through three-year tiered donations.
The Natural Stone Foundation is the charitable arm of the Natural Stone Institute and will play a critical role in helping the industry implement innovative solutions and provide funding to make them possible. In 2021, the Foundation has underwritten several webinars and provided funding for the ISO initiative.
