ICF Consulting Named as Finalist in
American Business AwardsSM

Finalist for Best Corporate Web Site Among 13 Companies
in Corporate Media Awards

The American Business Awards 2003 FinalistFAIRFAX, VA, April 3, 2003 - ICF Consulting was named a finalist today in the Best Corporate Web Site category for the first-ever American Business AwardsSM.

Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" by the New York Post (September 22, 2002) and nicknamed the Stevies™ for the Greek word "crowned," the American Business Awards are the first national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances in the workplace.

Almost 500 nominations from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories. ICF Consulting was nominated in the Best Corporate Web Site category, in which other finalists include EDS (Electronic Data Systems), General Electric Co., and Hewlett-Packard. Nominations were rated by business professionals nationwide during a five-week round of preliminary judging in February and March, and their average scores determined the finalists. Awards finalists were selected based on the communications' objectives the company set for itself and how well those goals were met. A complete list of finalists is available on the awards Web site.

ICF Consulting relaunched its corporate Web site in September 2002 to coincide with a company-wide branding initiative. As a leading management, technology, and policy consulting firm, ICF Consulting wanted to emphasize the depth and breadth of its work worldwide serving energy, environment, homeland security, community development, and transportation markets for more than 30 years. Alliant Studios, a communications design firm, worked closely with the ICF Consulting Web content and technical managers to redesign the look and feel.

"Our staff and design partner worked very hard to make the ICF Consulting site's extensive content more accessible and illustrative of the crosscutting expertise and analytics ICF Consulting brings to its clients," said Sudhakar Kesavan, Chairman and CEO of ICF Consulting. "I'm extremely pleased that our site is recognized as one of the very best by this distinguished national organization."

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie winners from among the finalists. The Board includes business luminaries such as Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes; Bruce Nelson, chairman and CEO of Office Depot; marketing gurus Don Peppers and Martha Rogers; Anthony Robbins, Chairman and CEO of The Anthony Robbins Companies; Drew Schutte, publisher of Wired Magazine; Jeffrey Tarr, chairman and CEO of Hoover's Inc.; and Donald Trump, chairman, president, and CEO of The Trump Organization.
