Don't Take Our Word For It
Anyone can say nice things about themselves. For example, "our staff is all among the 100 most beautiful people in the world, we have the strength to hurl Volkswagons at the speed of light, and in our spare time we travel the universe to fight Klingons." See? That was easy.
But it's much harder to get other people to say nice things about you - especially prominent people worth of a heck of a lot of respect. And that's why we're especially proud of the acccolades and awards we've received, including the following:

DC Olympic Committee
GRE seized the coming of the 2006 winter Olympics to demonstrate the power of combining creativity and technology.
To advocate for voting rights for the District of Columbia, GRE drew comparison to other U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam who have their own Olympic teams, and established a DC Olympic Curling Team to make a bid for participation in the quirky sport at the Games in Turin, Italy.
