"Last night we honored outstanding companies and the individuals and teams
within them," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie
Awards, the organization that runs The American Business Awards. "The
American Business Awards have grown so quickly because there was a need for a
program such as this, to shine a spotlight on executives and businesses that
too often go unheralded. Congratulations to all of our 2005 Finalists and
Stevie Award winners."
