ENNIS BUSINESS FORMS, INC. ANNOUNCES MAJOR MANAGEMENT CHANGES
Kenneth A. McCrady, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
announced that effective today Nelson Ward has been elected President and
Chief Operating Officer to succeed Charles Ray. Mr. Ward was also elected
to the Board of Directors.
Nelson Ward, 55, joined the Company in 1971 in the Finance Department
and has broad experience in all areas of the Company's operations, having
served most recently as Vice President - Sales and Marketing since 1992.
Charles Ray, 52, joined the Company in 1964 and has served in many
progressively more responsible operational positions, most recently as
President and Chief Operating Officer since 1989. As a result of the
recent adoption of an aggressive growth strategy, as discussed in detail in
the Company's 1996 annual report to stockholders, Mr. Ray concluded that
the position of Chief Operating Officer would best be filled by someone
with extensive sales and marketing experience; thus he relinquished that
position and chose to continue with the Company as Vice President -
Administration. Mr. Ray also resigned from the Board of Directors in order
to create an opening on the Board for Mr. Ward.
The Company also announced that Victor DiTommaso, 41, Treasurer, has
been elected to the additional positions of Vice President - Finance and
Secretary. Mr. DiTommaso joined the Company in July 1991 and has served as
Treasurer since December 1992.
