The Greater New York Home Furnishings Association announced that Jordan Greenberg, President of Apropos and also this year's President of the GNYHFA was presented with the Meadoff Award For Sportsmanship. The award was presened by Gail Meadoff at the The 64th presentation of this coveted award during the GNYHFA's golf outing. Initiated by the late Hal Meadoff in honor of his father A.S. Meadoff, the award has been continued by Hal's family and is now known as the "Meadoff Memorial Award for Sportsmanship". Sportsmanship, as defined by this award, does not signify skill or performance. It has to do with a person's sense of fair play and fair-mindedness. Personal relationships in the industry, social consciousness and support of humane and philanthropic causes are attributes carefully considered by the awards committee. These were the characteristics that Sam Meadoff had, which made him so revered by his peers. Former recipients meet each year to review and choose an individual to receive this honor.
