This reinforces our belief that our customers are the greatest in the industry."

WiRED's Executive Director, Dr. Gary Selnow, said "This award recognizes the hard work and dedication of WiRED's many volunteers who have invested their time and talents to help people abroad who are in need — people they don't know and probably will never meet. Particularly during this holiday season, the award acknowledges the spirit of volunteerism and confirms the best of the American character." Selnow congratulated WiRED's Web designer, Allison McGuire, and researcher and writer, Vincent Tseng, whose special efforts contributed to winning this award.
