STEINWAY'S ANNUAL DEALER meeting is usually all business, but this year the company opened its gathering with a tribute to outgoing president Bruce Stevens. Stevens joined Steinway & Sons as CEO in 1985 and for 22 years guided the company through a period of sustained growth and profitability. "Bruce, we thank you for your contributions and leadership over the last 22 years. You have established a successful strategy for running Steinway that we will all embrace and build upon in the future," stated Thomas Kurrer, president, Steinway & Sons. At the close of Kurrer's presentation, dealers gave Stevens a five-minute standing ovation.
