The March Group Joins Powerful Lineup of Business Leaders for the Institute of Directors 2009 Annual Convention

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Back by popular demand, The March Group shares the stage with notable business
leaders Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn; Michael Dell, CEO of DELL; and
Sebastian Coe, member of the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.
Originally invited in October of 2008, The March Group presented a conference
entitled "Doing Business in the U.S.A.: Middle Market M&A," which defined the
attributes of the United States middle market arena and its benefits to
investors in the U.S. and abroad. This year`s convention, to be held April 29,
brings the return of two top-level executives in the field of mergers and
acquisitions, The March Group`s own Art Ward and Tom Braun. They will be
connecting international buyers with valuable methods, strategies and
opportunities for U.S. investment.

The Institute of Directors represents a worldwide, professional network of
directors in every sector of business leadership, from large public companies to
small private firms. Its partnership with The March Group, a private middle
market mergers and acquisitions firm, affirms the institute`s dedication to
working with companies with well-established track records and ethical business
practices.

Now in its sixth decade, the convention features the world`s brightest and most
successful entrepreneurs. The March Group`s own agenda for the 2009 convention
addresses the nature and climate of today`s acquisition and investment market
and the extensive opportunities available through the firm. Participation in the
convention will provide audience members a solid grasp of U.S. middle market
investment opportunities and provide critical insight into cross-border
transaction environments. The March Group`s presentation at the Institute of
Directors 2009 Annual Convention is recommended for any business leader,
entrepreneur or investor interested in gaining a foothold or increasing their
stake in the North American market.

The March Group specializes in the marketing, negotiation and sale of privately
held mid-size businesses, strategically linking business owners who are
interested in selling with individuals who are interested in buying. Through
attendance at The March Group`s breakfast seminar, international buyers will
have access to the company`s inventory of businesses available for acquisition.

Similar to the popular 2008 convention, potential investors and buyers at the
2009 convention will be directed to appropriate investment opportunities based
on their specific focus and interests. By tailoring its extensive databases to
individual needs, The March Group remains committed to matching the right buyer
