HIGH POINT, N.C. – WithIt, the women’s leadership development network for the home and furnishings industries, will present Andy Bernstein, the CEO and founder of FurnitureDealer.net, with the President’s Award on April 25 during the WOW Awards gala. The President’s Award is presented to a WithIt member who has made significant contributions to the building of WithIt and the fulfillment of its mission.
For more than 20 years, Bernstein’s company, FurnitureDealer.net, has striven to connect furniture retailers with consumers through robust websites.
WithIt counts Bernstein among its strongest advocates in the home and furnishings industry, thanks to his support of the organization’s mission to foster leadership, mentoring and educational opportunities for women. Bernstein also encourages members of his team to be part of WithIt.
Bernstein joined the WithIt Executive Advisory Council in 2019, focusing on helping WithIt grow through sponsoring memberships and conference attendance. Last year, Bernstein committed to sponsoring 50 one-year memberships for guests of WithIt’s spring market events.
Bernstein was recognized as a WithIt Ambassador during the organization’s anniversary in 2022 for recruiting more than 15 members.
“Andy’s enthusiasm, support and commitment to WithIt and our mission is contagious,” said Cathy Valent, WithIt president. “His ability to align people and see their hidden talent is extraordinary. I am honored to know him and to present him with the 2025 WithIt President’s Award.”
WithIt will honor Bernstein during the WOW Awards Gala on April 25 in the IHFC Ballroom during High Point Market. Tickets are still available at withit.org.
