Treasury & Risk Magazine`s 2009 Alexander Hamilton Awards Entry Now Open

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Treasury & Risk magazine, the leading monthly business publication for senior
financial executives, is now accepting entries for the 2009 Alexander Hamilton
Best Practices Summit and Awards Program, scheduled for October 28-29, 2009 in
New York City.

Now in its 14th year, the awards recognize excellence in treasury management and
honor the best and the brightest from corporate America`s treasury and finance
departments.

The Alexander Hamilton Awards (AHA) attract hundreds of submissions from some of
the nation`s most resourceful and farsighted companies. Over the last 13 years,
winning entries have been submitted by such distinguished companies as:
Allstate, Cisco, Ford, General Electric, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell,
Intel, International Paper, Microsoft, and many more.

"As holders of the corporate purse strings, treasurers are taking on a greater
leadership role in helping steer their companies through the economic downturn.
We`ve designed this year`s award program to reflect that," said Donna Miskin,
Editor-in-Chief of Treasury & Risk magazine. As the need for global visibility
increases and the ability to make decisions faster based on rapidly changing
data becomes more critical, technology will play a bigger role in treasury
operations so T&R has added another technology award category. Likewise, the new
Best Green Strategy category recognizes this emerging priority.

2009 award categories include:

* Overall Excellence
* Cash Management
* Credit Risk Management
* Enterprise Risk Management
* Financial Risk Management
* Liquidity Management
* Retirement and Benefits
* Solution of the Year
* Technology Excellence
* Working Capital Management
* Best Green Strategy

Winners from each award category will be honored at the October awards ceremony
and conference, which was attended by over 250 senior-level treasury and finance
professionals last year. This year`s meeting features Cardinal Health CFO Jeff
Henderson as the keynote speaker.
