On August 14, 2014, the Board of Directors of Premier Alliance Group, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Anthony Sartor, 71, to serve as a director for the Company. Since 2009, Dr. Sartor has served as Chairman and CEO of Paulus, Sokolowski, and Sartor (PS&S), a consulting engineering firm based in New Jersey serving New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico. Prior to PS&S, Dr. Sartor served as Senior VP of National Grid (formerly KeySpan) and from 2003 until 2009 was President of a subsidiary, National Grid Energy Services. Dr. Sartor served as Commissioner over the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey from 1999 to 2014 where he served as Chairman of the WTC Site Redevelopment Committee and of the Committee for Capital Programs. In addition to chairing these committees he also served on the Security, Governance and Ethics, and Labor committees. Dr. Sartor also was appointed by the Governor of New Jersey as Commissioner, from 1992 – 1999, over the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.
Dr. Sartor has a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from Manhattan College as well as a Masters in Engineering and a Doctorate in Philosophy, both from the University of Michigan.
The Board has determined that Dr. Sartor meets the SEC’s qualifications to be an “independent director.”
Currently the independent board members receive compensation in the form of options once nominated and appointed to the board, and are compensated for attendance at quarterly board meetings and committee service. There is no arrangement or understanding between Dr. Sartor and any other persons pursuant to which Dr. Sartor was selected as a director, and there are no related party transactions involving Dr. Sartor that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
