Direct) June 27, 2005 -- Bob Pritchett, president and CEO of Logos Bible
Software, was named a winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Award in the Pacific Northwest for the category Realizing Business Potential.
Pritchett was selected from 19 finalists by an independent panel of judges

“The Ernst

hard work and perseverance have created and sustained successful, growing
business ventures,” said Stephen J. Day, principal with Ernst & Young LLP in

smart decisions the whole company has participated in together,” said
