Richmond, Virginia, January 10, 2006 - Amentra, Inc., an industry leading business and technology consulting firm, today announced that it has been named one of Washington SmartCEO's 2006 Future 50 winners.

Future 50

The Future 50 program celebrates business growth and recognizes companies and owners who are keeping the Greater Washington business climate vibrant and exciting.

The Future 50 award is based upon employee growth and revenue growth over the last three years. To qualify for the Future 50, a business must be at least three years old and typically no more than ten years old. However, companies that have gone through a significant reinvention in the last three years (but are older than ten years) are also considered.

"We attribute our success to our ability to stay ahead of the curve and continue to meet and exceed our customers' expectations," said Matt Ernst, Amentra's CEO. "We look forward to this new year and further developing relationships with valued clients and continuing to invest in the core infrastructure and processes that have made us the leader we are today," he added.

This year's winners were selected from over 200 impressive nominations. The 50 winning companies are responsible for creating more than 5,000 jobs for the local economy.

As a winner, Amentra will receive a half-page ad profile in the January 2006 edition of the magazine Washington SmartCEO and recognition at an awards ceremony on January 25, 2006 at the Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center in Rockville, Maryland.
