JASPER, Ind. – June 19, 2007 – The Office Furniture Dealers Alliance (OFDA) recently presented Kimball Office with its prestigious Dealer Choice Award for Management.

"We're very honored and proud to receive this award," said Dan Miller, President, Furniture, and Executive Vice President, Kimball International. "Recognition for excellence in management is especially meaningful to us because it acknowledges our success at building important relationships with our dealers, and affirms that they see a consistent strategy and reliable execution from Kimball Office."

Dealer Choice Awards are determined by the results of the Association's "OFDA Dealer Manufacturer Satisfaction Index Survey," sent to a diverse cross-section of dealers throughout North America. The survey asked dealers to evaluate up to four of their manufacturer business partners in six key categories: training, product lines, service and support, sales and marketing, management, and technology.

"Receiving a Dealers' Choice Award indicates an outstanding performance and a commitment to the dealer channel across the entire service and product offering spectrum," said Bob Kelly, OFDA Chairman and President of Office Environments of New England, Boston, MA.

The OFDA is the leading industry information resource for office furniture dealers and their trading partners. The trade association furnishes its more than 1,100 members with business solutions — research and information, dealer advocacy and networking opportunities — that make them more effective and more profitable.
