Reston, VA, January 1, 2009 – Tenacity Solutions, Inc. announced today it has been named to the Washington SmartCEO magazine/BDO Seidman LLP 2009 Future 50, which recognizes the 50 fastest growing companies in the Greater Washington area based on employee and revenue growth over a three year period.

"The team at Tenacity is incredibly proud of this recognition, knowing that our real success is based on each and every employee’s dedication to each other and the unique missions they support," said Leo F. Fox, President of Tenacity Solutions Inc.

Winners of SmartCEO’s 4th Annual Future 50 will be recognized at a soccer themed black-tie dinner event on January 29, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda in Bethesda, MD.

Washington SmartCEO magazine is a regional "growing company” publication. SmartCEO believes that a “growing company" is really determined by the spirit, drive and dynamics of a company’s owners and managers, rather than by the size of its building, the number of its employees, or its sales volume. Each month, a variety of businesses in the greater Washington and greater Baltimore areas turn to the pages of SmartCEO for features, case-study advice and trend analysis, all with a uniquely local flavor. SmartCEO is read by more than 34,000 business owners in Baltimore and Washington.

"Tenacity has overcome formidable challenges and obstacles on the path to success, and we are excited to once again have the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of all our Future 50 winners," adds Tony Cord, Managing Director, Strategic Development at BDO Seidman LLP, title sponsor for the 2009 Future 50 Program.
