ADL to honor Koenig, Bernhardt
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 24, 2002
NEW YORK — NEW YORK — Retailer Keith Koenig and manufacturer Alex Bernhardt Sr. will be honored in June with the Anti-Defamation League's American Heritage Award.
They will be saluted at the annual dinner dance of the ADL's National Interior Furnishings & Design Division, set for June 20 at the Marriott Marquis here.
Bernhardt is chairman and chief executive officer of high-end North Carolina manufacturer Bernhardt Furniture. Koenig is president of City Furniture, a Top 100 retailer based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
They will be honored for "their generosity of spirit, dedication to our democratic ideals, distinguished service, leadership and advancing the cause of our human rights mission to the interior furnishings industry," the ADL said.
"Our president and our nation's leaders have told us that we cannot hide from terrorism, but we must speak out and move boldly into the future," said Norman Waxman of Schnadig Corp., the ADL industry chairman. "All of us need to take a stand against hate for the benefit of ourselves, our families and our country. We cannot defend our values by abandoning them in our moment of need.
"In this spirit, a renewal of our faith in people, our values, and in our country, we invite the industry to join us as we honor Alex and Keith," Waxman said.
Neil Goldberg of Raymour & Flanigan, Liverpool, N.Y., is the dinner chairman and Fred Berk of Robb & Stucky, Fort Myers, Fla., is vice chairman.
