Welcome to the 6th annual Stevie
®
Awards for Women in Business.
This year’s Stevie Awards for Women in Business attracted more than 1,100 entries, just
a handful fewer than last year’s record total — quite an achievement, I think, given current
economic conditions. Nevertheless, this year it was tougher than ever to be recognized as a
Finalist or Stevie Award winner, and I congratulate you for your accomplishments this past year.
Preliminary judging was conducted in September and October by business professionals
around the world. Their averages scores determined the Finalists. Members of the
competition’s Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors performed final judging October
19 – 28 to select Stevie Award winners from among the Finalists. All judges are acknowledged
in this program.
We organize three other business competitions in addition to the Stevies for Women.
You can learn all about our programs at www.stevieawards.com.
Thank you for participating in The 2009 Stevie Awards for Women in Business, and for
joining us this evening. Best wishes for continued success!
Cordially,
Michael Gallagher
President
