Alfred Music's Ron Manus, NAMM's Eric Ebel and Barenreiter Music's Petra Woodfull-Harris were honored at the Retail Print Music Dealer's Association's 41st annual convention held April 25-29 in Atlanta.

Alfred Music's Chief Business Development Officer, Ron Manus, was the recipient of the 2017 Dorothy Award, RPMDA's highest honor.

The Dorothy Award is an award named for Dorothy Hutchinson, former executive secretary/treasurer and charter member of RPMDA. Candidates are nominated by current RPMDA members and the honoree is selected by a committee comprised of past Dorothy winners.

"I am never speechless, but winning the Dorothy Award has come close to achieving the impossible," Manus said after receiving the Dorothy.

"This award was given to me, but it belongs to Alfred Music and to all of us. I am the person people see at conventions as our 'brand ambassador,' but so much of what I do, communicate and represent, is because of the people of Alfred Music, both present and past."
