 PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE COMPANY CONTACTS: Mick Lasher President Lasher Associates Executive Search 954-217-5081 x12 mick@lasherassociates.com Executive Search Firm Posts Record Results in Spite of Sagging Economy Weston, FL – January 19, 2009 – Lasher Associates Executive Search completed back to back record years in 2008 and 2007 and begins its twenty fourth year of business in 2009. Mick Lasher, Founder and President, said “In spite of a sagging economy, our firm had record performances in 2008 and 2007. Last year brought us a number of new clients in the United States and several international locations including Europe, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Much of this business activity is attributable to private equity firms that had to advance their portfolio companies with the right executives, life science companies that required key executives to meet threshold requirements, and non-profits that must deal with change regardless of the economy.” Lasher also stated, “Our firm’s Life Science Practice under the leadership of Jim Schepp was the strongest segment of business in 2008 and Non-Profit search assignments directed by Dan Bronson in Denver were at the highest level in the 23 year history of the firm. Emerging companies were a key market for us. We were invited to re-join the Enterprise Development Corporation’s Board of Directors after serving on that board between 2000 and 2002. We are one of the longest term Directors of the Florida Venture Forum, having served on that Board since 1986. Our participation and support of both these organizations underscores our commitment to emerging companies in addition to our broad executive search practice serving larger private, non-profit, and public companies.” About Lasher Associates Executive Search Lasher Associates Executive Search is one of the oldest and most trusted retained executive search firms headquartered in Florida and serves clients throughout the United States and many international locations.
