JBS Announces Acquisition of Aguirre International and The Aguirre Group, LLC
April 18, 2005

Silver Spring, MD (April 18, 2005)—Johnson, Bassin & Shaw, Inc. (JBS), with corporate headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Aguirre International and The Aguirre Group, LLC. Founded by Dr. Edward Aguirre, Commissioner of Education for President Ford, the Aguirre companies provide management and consulting services to numerous Federal and State agencies, non-profit organizations, and private corporations. With revenues that reached $14 million in 2004, major clients include U.S Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Education, and the Corporation for National and Community Services. Aguirre’s corporate headquarters are in Burlingame, CA, and they have an office in Washington, DC.

“Our business lines are complementary, and our focus on helping clients achieve their strategic mission is the same,” noted Gail Bassin, JBS Board Chairman. “Together, we will be able to offer our respective clients a broader array of expertise, skills, and experience than we have been able to provide as separate entities.” Jerri Shaw, JBS President, said, “The multilingual, multicultural nature of Aguirre’s seasoned and highly educated staff will allow us to pursue new, challenging, meaningful areas of work.” She added, “Over time, we will create one company, while simultaneously preserving the uniqueness that characterizes both JBS and Aguirre."

Established in 1985, JBS is a women-owned health and social services consulting firm. Its 200 employees provide management services primarily to Federal, State, and private clients. Additional information about the firm is available at www.jbsinternational.com. Information about Aguirre International and Aguirre Group, both of which are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of JBS, is available at www.aguirreinternational.com. Ms. Bassin and Ms. Shaw are available for interviews.
