HouseRaising Plans for Expansion of Management Team CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its expansion strategy, HouseRaising, Inc. has begun a nationwide search for the company's national executive management team that will be responsible for building HouseRaising into a national brand that will revolutionize the way custom homes are designed and built in America. "We have retained The Sharrow Group, a leading homebuilding executive search firm based in Rochester, New York to provide recruitment for HouseRaising's expansion program," said Bob McLemore, CEO and founder of HouseRaising. "We look forward to finding the best talent available as we build the HouseRaising management team to grow this company into a national brand in the homebuilding industry that builds homes the HouseRaising way. The plan is to recruit these six executives in the coming months to work out of our Charlotte, North Carolina headquarters. Their job will be to help us in our goal of creating a national company of local homebuilders that brings predictability to a fragmented industry." The positions include a national sales director, national chief architect, national engineer and purchasing agent, national financial officer, national executive builder and national manager of product development, reconciliation and review. Related to HouseRaising's planned merger with Technology Connections, Inc. (OTC:TLGY) (BULLETIN BOARD: TLGY) , a special shareholders' meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 21, 2004 to approve the merger, name change and the new board of directors, subject to SEC review. HouseRaising will be the surviving company following the merger, and Technology Connections' name will change to HouseRaising. The merger will create an immediate increase in net assets to more than $7 million. Later this year and into 2005, HouseRaising will expand sales through its programs provided on the Internet and through regional design centers outside the Carolinas as it aggressively broadens its market base to a national level. The company eventually expects to provide service and support for 10,000 design/build and 12,000 renovation projects annually. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, HouseRaising is a national company comprised of local homebuilders that provides well-organized regional operations with Internet-based support and management processes, thus revolutionizing the way custom homes are designed and built in America.
