HOUSTON, Dec. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sharps Compliance Corp.
(OTC:SCOM) (BULLETIN BOARD: SCOM) ("Sharps" or the "Company"),
leading providers of cost-effective disposal solutions for small

Claude A. Dance to the position of Senior Vice President of Sales
and Marketing, effective immediately. Mr. Dance, who joined the
Company in August of 2007 as the Vice President of Sales - Emerging
Markets, will be responsible for national, regional and inside
sales efforts, as well as marketing and customer service functions.
Mr. Dance comes to Sharps from Capital Returns Inc., a leading
reverse logistics company, where he served in various key roles
including Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Prior to
Capital Returns, Mr. Dance served in various sales and management
roles with Pharmerica, a division of AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal

Chief Executive Officer and President commented, "As a rapidly
growing company, our organization and infrastructure continues to
evolve as necessary in order to address the significant sales
opportunities available to us. We have been very impressed with
Claude's abilities and believe he will perform very well in his new
leadership role. His management experience, combined with his
ability to close large deals, is critical strengths as we pursue
the many emerging market opportunities we have targeted." David C.
Mayfield, the Company's prior Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing has accepted the position of Vice President of
Pharmaceutical Sales and Reimbursement. Kunik added, "David has
made significant progress in the area of insurance reimbursement
that we believe could lead to greater awareness about the proper
disposal of used syringes in the expanding self-injection market.
Importantly, the potential exists for the recovery of the cost of
disposal through healthcare insurance. Additionally, David will
focus on closing opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry we
have been developing." Sharps uses multiple channels to market its
