Last week we received an email from Mike Martin, publisher of TED magazine, that he is leaving NAED on February 11 to become the President and CEO of the National Wood Flooring Association.
Mike was with NAED for 14 years, and having worked with him, as we used to write articles for TED, Mike is a consummate professional, open to input and change. It was under his leadership that TED magazine has flourished. He learned the industry and sought to help bring new insights to NAED’s membership by having distributors share best practices as well as focusing on the issues of the today. His creativity in reformatting the publication further enhanced the image of the publication.
Having been at the pinnacle of the publication for awhile, and winning a number of awards, we can understand why Mike sought new challenges.
Mike, congratulations, thank you, and good luck. Hopefully you can bring some electrical ideas to the wood flooring industry and share some ideas from them back to us. NAED has big shoes to fill.

Michael was a great asset to the industry and he will be missed!
Top notch individual, always open to ideas and asking how his group could do better or educate more. I’ll personally miss him, and our association will even more!
Good luck Michael, the Wood Flooring people have picked up a great asset.
Michael was TED Magazine and an incredible asset to the electrical industry. He was a driving force within NAED in keeping the organization up with the times and relevant to the members.
After years of working with him, I speak for my whole organization in saying we are going to miss him greatly. I wish him well.
Michael is a top notch person and is a tremendous asset.I am sorry to see him leave.
The business model for NAED has been broken for sometime with these big expensive meetings and low attendance.
Mike was a driving force to keep the industry relevant to many of our members.
Good luck Mike.
