"It's an honor to have been selected for this prestigious award, particularly among such deserving nominees," Ms. Reed said.

I'm also grateful for the partnership we've forged with Excellere Partners, with whom we've undertaken an amazing journey. And, of course, I am thankful for the love and encouragement of my family."

Ms. Reed added, "None of us in the contracting community would be where we are without our tremendous clients. How lucky to be surrounded by people for whom public service is a passion, rather than simply a profession."

Ann Costello, ASI's founder and chairman of its Board of Directors, said, "On behalf of the founders and directors, I thank Anne for her visionary leadership in growing the company from its small entrepreneurial base to a professionally managed and funded company. Today, ASI continues to honor performance innovation and reflects the company's longstanding commitment to our public sector clients, our employees and our industry partners."
