Future Graphics’ Goldstein, Brown Inducted Into Recharger Magazine’s Hall of Fame

LOS ANGELES — Robert Goldstein, president and CEO, Future Graphics and Lionel Brown, COO, Future Graphics will be inducted into the inaugural Recharger Hall of Fame in Las Vegas on Tuesday, August 19.
For more than 20 years, Goldstein and Brown have been key figures in helping build a tiny cottage industry into the global, multi-billion dollar enterprise that it is today.
“We're very honored,” said Goldstein. “I grew up with this industry, so being recognized with the understanding that our industry has matured and professionalized means a lot. It has helped me grow personally too. It has been a fun ride in the company of great people.”
Brown said, “This industry has been a learning experience for me. Sort of like David and Goliath with the OEMs being the Goliath. The next time that I am inducted into a Hall of Fame, I would prefer the Goliath role if that can be arranged.”
Other inductees include Avi and Yoel Wazana of MSE; Arnald Ho of Print Rite and Ed Swartz of SCC.
“I look forward to personally congratulating each of these extraordinary people on their success in and contribution to our industry,” said Recharger Group Publisher Adam Schaffer. “Choosing this initial group took a great deal of thought on our part, and we have a group that well represents the best this industry has to offer, from quality contributions to legislative work. While each inductee has contributed mightily in a number of areas, it is in the Recharger Magazine Hall of Fame that we can honor them in a category in which they excel to the highest levels.”
There will be a short ceremony preceding the Recharger Magazine’s 2008 Readers Choice Awards on Tuesday, Aug. 19 at the Palm Foyer in the Mandalay Bay to honor the inductees.
