Eugster To Receive NARM’s Presidential Award

 

      Industry veteran Jack Eugster, the retiring President and Chief Executive Officer of the Musicland Group, will accept the National Association of Recording Merchandisers’ Presidential Award for Sustained Executive Achievement at the Association’s 43rd Annual Convention & Trade Show March 11-14 at the Orlando World Center Marriott.

      Eugster, who joined Musicland in 1980, reshaped the product offerings and store configurations of the company, eventually leading it to become the largest retailer of prerecorded entertainment products in the United States.

      “Jack’s support of NARM over the years has been steadfast and substantial,” notes NARM President Pamela Horovitz. “His personal contributions as a member and past president of our Board of Directors were complemented by his generous accommodation of a variety of Musicland’s executives participating in NARM's programs and projects that have helped better the industry. I am delighted to be able to present this Award.”

NARM serves the music and other prerecorded entertainment software industry as the pre-eminent forum for insight and dialogue for its more than 1,100 member retailers, wholesalers, distributors, entertainment software suppliers, and suppliers of related products and services.
