SM&A (NASDAQ:WINS) Chairman Dwight L. Hanger announced today that the company’s Board has received the following letter from SM&A’s most senior proposal managers expressing "unqualified support” for the company’s current directors and its leadership team headed by Cathy McCarthy, President and Chief Executive Officer.(a) The employees note in the letter that they sent it without solicitation and that they "are significant shareholders, as well as the holders of SM&A’s tradition of excellence.” "We are gratified that our key leaders took it upon themselves to send such a wonderfully supportive letter,” Mr. Hanger said. "This shows they understand that the company is finally on the right track.”   To: SM&A Board of Directors c/o Dwight Hanger: Dwight.Hanger@smawins.com     We the undersigned SM&A proposal managers wish to express our unqualified support for Mrs. Cathy McCarthy, her corporate leadership team and current board of directors. Together we agree that any further change of management at this time could damage the viability of our company and its stock price. This management team took control less than a year ago and to replace them would disrupt operations by continuing senior management changes we have been experiencing over the past 18 months.   We feel Mrs. McCarthy, her team, and this board developed a comprehensive strategic plan and are most qualified to guide us along its path toward financial growth, providing long-term benefit to all shareholders. Through directing the development and implementation of this plan, Mrs. McCarthy has demonstrated that she understands what it takes to make SM&A grow while increasing long-term shareholder value.   We represent the heritage that this company's reputation was built upon and have worked with both the past and present SM&A leadership. We are significant shareholders, as well as the holders of SM&A's tradition of excellence.   Please note, this letter is offered by SM&A's largest revenue generators, our most senior and tenured proposal managers. It is forwarded without solicitation from, or knowledge of Cathy McCarthy, her leadership team or any of the SM&A Board of Directors.   Respectfully signed:   1. Richard Agopsowicz   2.
