May 22, 2006, Alexandria, VA—Robbins-Gioia, LLC, the leading provider of program management (PM)
consulting solutions, announced today that it has been named a finalist in the best marketing organization
category in The 2006 American Business Awards.
The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring superior
performance in the workplace. Nicknamed the Stevies from the Greek word “crowned,” the awards will be presented
to winners announced during the annual gala on June 12 in New York City. More than 1,500 entries from companies
of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories,
including best overall company, best executive, and best new product or service.
The Robbins-Gioia marketing team was nominated for its marketing achievements and public relations successes.
The team achieved a company record of 404 media hits in 2005—an increase of 134 percent over 2004. The team
also developed the marketing campaign surrounding the company’s 25th anniversary last year. A special logo
was created and displayed on products and collateral to celebrate this important company milestone. In
addition, the team conducted a year of activities highlighting the evolution of the project management industry
and orchestrated the kick-off by developing and implementing the first annual “Results Symposium: Best
Practices in Program Management.” Held in September 2005, this senior-level networking event featured
real-world executive insights from various organizations such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the
Timken Company, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Colonial Bank, the Transportation Security Administration,
and many others. The marketing team also won the 2005 Standard of Excellence award from the Web Marketing
Association for its web marketing initiatives.
“For 25 years, Robbins-Gioia has been the premier program management company,” said Michael Sledge,
Robbins-Gioia president and chief operating officer. “Our hardworking and talented marketing team has done
a fantastic job in communicating to various public and private media outlets the results our clients are

Business Awards and look for even more outstanding accomplishments from the team.”
“Being named a finalist in The American Business Awards is an important achievement,” said Michael Gallagher,

the nominee is worthy of national recognition. We congratulate all of the finalists on their achievement and
wish them well in the competition.”
