				<h1>APCO CEO Receives SABRE Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement</h1>

				<p>Washington, D.C. (May 11, 2009) – Margery Kraus, president and chief executive officer of APCO Worldwide, will be recognized by The Holmes Group as a recipient of this year’s SABRE Awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement at a dinner in New York on May 12.</p>
<p>The awards, which honor the exceptional work of public relations professionals, were launched in 2008. Kraus is one of 10 recipients this year.  </p>

<p>“It is an honor and a pleasure to receive this generous award from such an influential source of industry news and intelligence,” said Kraus. “This recognition is especially meaningful given that APCO is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

<p>Kraus founded APCO in 1984, and the company has since grown from one Washington office to an independent, majority women-owned consulting firm with 550 practitioners in 29 offices throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The firm provides high-end strategic counsel in corporate communication and public affairs and offers an integrated approach to addressing clients’ challenges and opportunities. </p>

<p>“Margery Kraus has built one of the most impressive communications firms on the planet, bringing together arguably the strongest team of senior public relations and public affairs strategists … in the business,” said Paul Holmes, president and CEO of The Holmes Group and editor of <i>The Holmes Report</i>. </p>
