Chicago, IL (June 30, 2009) Even in times of economic downtown, the interim management industry is poised with opportunities. A billion-dollar industry in the U.K., the U.S. marketplace has slowly continued to grow as more C-Level employment seekers and Fortune 500 companies realize the benefits associated with this emerging industry. Now the U.S. interim manager and interim management providers have an invaluable new resource: the Interim Association. The Interim Association is the premier association dedication solely to the interim management industry in the United States.

The mission of the Interim Association is to provide corporate clients, interim providers and interim managers with the most-timely information, education, resources and networking available in the American interim management industry. Started in late 2008, the Interim Association has achieved a membership of over 200 executives during its six month lifespan and expects growth to continue during the next twelve months.

Chris LaCorata, the Executive Director and founder of the Interim Association said: “Several key factors seem to suggest an almost perfect environment for fostering substantial growth for the interim executive industry. The current economic crisis, spin offs, restructuring and consolidation activity has resulted in ‘leaner’ organizations having less talent and resources to lead and ensure execution of transitional periods. The Interim Association hopes to create and connect seasoned interim executives, recruiters, and service organizations, providing a ‘marketplace’ for business and investment leaders to easily connect with service providers and resources.”
