PRESIDENT'S MESSAGEPrachee J. Devadas, President/CEOThe year 2009 was one of change and innovation at SEI. At the height of our national recession, SEI gave 40 people new jobs; won our largest multimillion dollar contract, along with nine other new contracts; and added two new Federal clients to our ever-expanding list. We also launched a new service structure, a new management structure, and entered into new partnerships with highly specialized firms. SEI is grateful for the successes we were able to achieve in this recovering economy with the help of our clients. The National Federation of Independent Business reported that small businesses employ more than half of all small-sector workers and that small businesses create on average about two-thirds of net new jobs annually. As we enter 2010, the second decade of the 21st century, SEI is prepared to continue supporting job growth and community-based projects, and will continue enhancing our small business tools, all with the aim and purpose of helping our clients enhance and meet their mission challenges. Happy New Year!
