Alland Leandre Receives Black Engineer of the Year Entrepreneur Award:

Columbia, MD, Feb. 25, 2008 -- Alland Leandre received the Entrepreneur Award before an exuberant audience at the Black Engineer of the Year (BEYA) Awards Conference 2008 held Feb. 14-17, celebrating the most distinguished minorities in the science and technology fields in institutions ranging from the U.S. military to the civil service to industry.

Leandre’s recognition with only five years under his belt as the Chief Executive Officer of Vyalex Management Solutions, Inc., a small avionics engineering and management company headquartered in Howard County, Maryland, illustrates the combined power of business and technology. In fact, this coveted award has not been given every year in the 22 year history of the conference.

Al Leandre, President of Vyalex Management Solutions, Inc., has been selected to receive the prestigious Top 100 Minority Business Enterprise Award for 2007 from the University of Maryland University College, the Governor’s Office of Minority Affairs (GOMA) and the Maryland Chamber of Commerce. The award will be presented in a ceremony that will take place on November 8th at the University of Maryland University College.

According to the business, governmental and academic alliance sponsoring the awards, “The Top 100 MBE awards were created to recognize those enterprising women and minority entrepreneurs that fuel this nation’s economy through their innovation, sacrifices and dedication.” Leandre’s continuous commitment to his company’s slogan “excellence delivered” prepared him to receive this coveted award.

From five years ago to today, Vyalex has grown tremendously. It’s gone from Leandre being primarily a management consultant working as an independent contractor to leading a company with roughly thirty people who specialize in providing customer service and global partnerships. Leandre admits, “I think that’s a tremendous growth. It shows the level of blessings that we’ve attained more so than the responsibilities that I can really say I’m responsible for.”

While five years and counting, the bottom line today for Vyalex is always the same, “Excellence Delivered.”

On June 29, 2007 Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) presented Al Leandre, CEO of Vyalex Management Solutions, with a diversity award for excellence. This award is special, as NAVAIR is an exceptional client of VMS. The award states the following:
