Welcome to the second annual American Business AwardsSM— “The StevieTM Awards.”

The Stevie Awards were created to honor and generate public recognition of the efforts, accom-plishments, and positive contributions of companies and business people worldwide. Beginning withThe American Business Awards in 2002, The International Business Awards in 2003, and now thelaunch of the Stevie Awards for Women Entrepreneurs, our mission is to raise the profile of exemplarycompanies and individuals among the press, the business community, and the general public. In shortorder the Stevie has become one of the world’s most coveted awards. The New York Post called theStevies “the business world’s own Oscar® Awards.”

The 2004 American Business Awards attracted 815 nominations from more than 400 companies, in virtually every industry. All nominations that received an average score of 7.0 out of a possible 10 inthe preliminary round of judging became Finalists, were eligible to be considered for a Stevie Award,and are acknowledged in this program.

Every company that earned Finalist recognition is a winner. Becoming a Finalist means that objective business professionals concurred that your accomplishments are deserving of widespreadrecognition, and you are to be congratulated for that.

A portion of the receipts from ticket sales for tonight’s program will be contributed to LEAD, a national partnership of business and academia that encourages the best and brightest high school students to pursue careers in business. I encourage you to learn more about LEAD at www.leadnational.org.

Enjoy the evening!
