CCA Global Partners Retail Group Honors Outstanding Members at conneXtion 2026
Jan 14th 2026
CCA Global Partners Retail Group celebrated excellence during its annual conneXtion™ event this week, recognizing three exceptional co-op members whose leadership, innovation, and commitment embody the spirit of the cooperative.
New this year, the Carpet One Floor & Home Legacy Award celebrates members who have demonstrated extraordinary dedication throughout their careers to their business and the cooperative group.
The Howard Brodsky Legacy Award
The inaugural recipient of the Howard Brodsky Legacy Award is Bill Kerns of Kerns Carpet One Floor & Home in Brookfield, WI.
Bill’s story is a testament to loyalty and leadership. Joining the family business in 1987, just two years after Kerns Carpet One became one of the original 13 cooperative members, Bill spent nearly four decades growing two Carpet One locations, supporting ProSource, and serving as an RNG Coordinator. His unwavering commitment is reflected in an astonishing record—72 consecutive CCA conventions attended.
As Bill steps into retirement, his sons will continue the family tradition, carrying forward the values that Bill exemplifies. This award ensures his legacy will inspire future generations within the cooperative.
Alan Greenberg Award
Named in honor of CCA Global Partners co-founder Alan Greenberg, recognizes members who embody the cooperative spirit through active participation, contributions to the collective, and support of fellow members.
This year’s recipient is Bonnie Fenwick of Carpet One Floor & Home in Jacksonville, FL. Bonnie’s leadership and commitment have set a benchmark for excellence, reflecting the values of stewardship, integrity, and community involvement that define this prestigious honor.
Wally Hileman Award
This year’s winner of the Wally Hileman Award is Brent Posusta of Custom Interiors Carpet One Floor & Home in Hutchinson, MN.
The award, named in memory of Carpet One’s first Vice President of Membership, Wally Hileman, celebrates new members who embody cooperative values and show exceptional commitment to its growth and success.
Brent’s rapid embrace of Carpet One programs and his dedication to collaborative growth exemplify the energy and innovation that strengthen the cooperative.
A Word from Leadership
Keith Spano, President of CCA Retail Group and Carpet One Floor & Home, praised the honorees: “Bill, Bonnie, and Brent, represent the best of our cooperative. Their passion, leadership, and dedication to shared success inspire us all and strengthen the foundation of our community.”
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all this year’s award winners and thank them for their unwavering dedication to the cooperative. Their achievements not only strengthen our community today but also pave the way for continued success and innovation in the years ahead.
