Sometime before November 1, 2008, Simpson Assoicates is moving to new offices. They are located at: 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1410, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2Y3. Everyone is looking forward to it. We'll let you know more of the details as it gets a little closer.

Every Thursday afternoon, between 3pm and 5pm, Simpson Associates is holding assessment and interview training workshops. These sessions are well suited for those who are interested in getting an in-depth understanding of our assessment approach and methodology for evaluating candidates. Current attendees include senior HR practioners, a number of CEO's and the Ocean's Apart Management team. For further information please contact Jeanne Gilbert at 604-629-2930.

Dr. R. Nideffer, our technical partner in Simpson Associates, is conducting a one-day seminar, for CEO's only. The agenda will be customized specifically to the workshop attendees. This seminar is limited to 6 people (five spots are currently spoken for at this writing - July 16, 2008) and will take place in Rancho Bernardo, California. The exact date for the workshop will be announced shortly with a target date set for sometime late this summer. Cost: $2,000 U.S. Travel and accommodation are additional. This is a rare opportunity to interact with "one of the top ten psychologists on the planet."

Along with two business partners, Simpson Associates has made an investment in Oceans Apart Management Inc. (OAM) is an executive search group, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The practice conducts leadership level searches across the globe for a broad base of companies.

Simpson Associates has acquired an interest in Rasoee Restaurant Systems Inc. Rasoee Restaurants is a fast growing, franchised, quick-service, Indian food restaurant group based in Markham, Ontario, Canada. This investment is consistent with the overall direction of Simpson Associates - to provide assessment services for companies which we own versus those who are strictly clients. In addition to providing assessment services for Rasoee's, David Simpson also sits on the Board of Directors.
