This year we are celebrating our fifth anniversary and are proud to add this award to our list of achievements. It is always an honor to be recognized in this way. But, we are so consistently and wisely informed by our clients, that we feel we share this honor with them.

Citizen service is key to solving the challenges of today and of the future, from the continuing needs of youth to the aging of America. These public servants are role models for millions of Americans in their 'day jobs,' and we hope they will also serve as role models in their commitment to giving back to their communities.

Students have a tremendous amount to give to this effort, and their idealism and energy is needed in the Gulf. These young people are recognizing the importance of being citizens, not simply spectators, and their growing engagement in hurricane relief bodes very well for our nation.
