CHICAGO-- The International Housewares Association's annual Chief Housewares Executive SuperSession (CHESS) last month brought together executives from a number of the association's member companies, including vendors and retailers. The session included seminars on strategic development, design, developing the executive team, marketing "green" products, the situation in China, developing the sales force and intellectual property.
A highlight of the event was the cocktail reception and dinner, which was held at the Bloomingdale's Home Store here.
