Awards to be presented at Print CEO Forum October 2nd

Lexington, Kentucky USA -- WhatTheyThink.com today reported that Consolidated Graphics, Inc. CEO Joe Davis has been named a Print CEO of the Year award finalist. A qualifying Print CEO must have been in his or her position for at least two years and have demonstrated inspirational and innovative leadership of a printing company that has shown success during his or her tenure. Success is measured by metrics such as revenue or profit growth, corporate transformation initiatives and/or environmental leadership, or other qualifications the nominator deems important. Awards will be presented at the second annual Print CEO Forum scheduled for October 2nd and 3rd in Chicago.

"I am honored to be a finalist for the Print CEO of the Year award, and look forward to attending this year's Print CEO Forum," said Davis. "No matter how large or small your company, it is critical to stay current with market trends, especially in times of such dynamic change."

Davis is credited with outstanding leadership over the past 25 years, having both created Consolidated Graphics and managed a global business that has maintained excellent financial results while delivering innovative solutions to its customer base. During the most recent downturn, Davis made the necessary tough cost reduction decisions while still continuing to invest in new equipment, expand into international markets and create new products and solutions. Davis maintains a flat organizational structure, personally keeping a finger on the pulse of the business with direct relationships with the 70 companies under his stewardship. He understands how to maintain control of the business while also effectively delegating the day-to-day responsibilities to a talented and deep management team throughout the corporation.

The four other finalists, in alphabetical order, are:

• Robert Keane, Vistaprint, Lexington, MA
• John Lacagnina, ColorCentric Corp., Rochester, NY
• Joel Quadracci, Quad/Graphics, Sussex, WI
• Adam Slutsky, Mimeo, New York, NY

Awards will be presented to the four finalists and the CEO of the Year at a dinner on October 2nd during the second annual Print CEO Forum, being held at Chicago's prestigious University Club and sponsored by manroland. "It is our hope that all five finalists will be present at this printer-only event to partake in the learning experience, to share their expertise during the conference, and to accept the awards in person," added Davidson.

A preliminary agenda and registration page for the Forum as well as the nomination form for Print CEO of the Year are available at PrintCEOForum.com. WhatTheyThink has also arranged a limited number of rooms at the University Club, should attendees wish to take advantage of the convenience of staying at this exclusive venue during the Forum. Rooms are also available at another nearby hotel.

"While the Print CEO Forum is a printer-only event and the CEO of the Year award is being judged by Print CEO peers," said Davidson, "we are pleased that manroland has agreed to be our sponsor this year, allowing us to grow this exclusive event, add the awards, and make it even more valuable to attendees than last year. We are also very pleased that the suppliers to the industry are supporting this effort by nominating candidates for the award."
