AURORA, CO - Advanced Circuits, the only quick-turn printed circuit board manufacturer with easy, real-time customer service, announced today that CEO Ron Huston has been named one of the best bosses in the country for his innovative reward-based management practices. He is among fifteen executives from across the country to receive this honor, and one of only six to be featured in Fortune Small Business as a "best boss".

Huston's creative management philosophy and extraordinary ability to motivate employees has helped Advanced Circuits create continuous growth in a struggling industry. Huston rewards employees using incentives ranging from $225,000 employee excursions to Las Vegas to company lunches to profit-sharing programs.

"This award is really a testament to the great people that work at Advanced Circuits," said Huston. "My employees produce the best results because they are given opportunities to excel and offered something to work towards."

Fortune Small Business, in conjunction with Winning Workplaces, a non-profit organization that helps small businesses implement successful workplace practices, spent six months searching the nation for the best bosses. Ultimately, they identified 210 nominees that excelled in employee tenure and benefits, and management challenges. Of those, Winning Workplaces chose 35 finalists who were evaluated by a panel of five judges to determine the final 15 winners. Only six executives were featured in Fortune Small Business.

This year's Best Bosses award focused on company leaders who motivated employees during the slow economy. At a time when the printed circuit design industry was losing business to overseas manufacturers, Advanced Circuits boasted double digit growth for seven continuous years. The success has created outstanding employee loyalty and a sense of job security.

"It's obvious how Ron's personal philosophy has shaped our company culture," said Denise Wood, Advanced Circuits chief marketing officer. "Since we all have goals whose attainment is within our own sphere of control, we are largely responsible for our own destinies. As an entrepreneur, that's exactly how Ron likes it."
