Irvine, California – October 25, 2005 – Spinnaker, a leading provider of professional services to small and mid-size companies, is pleased to announce their participation in the Sage Leadership Academy Alumni Association (SLAAA).

“Being a part of the Association gives us the opportunity to focus on business improvement strategies and continue to set and achieve goals,” said Mitch Cannady, Spinnaker’s President. “The small group setting and dialogue, relevant topics, and involvement from Sage Software executives is a great forum for us. Ultimately though, our employees and clients benefit from our participation in terms of stronger leadership and a culture of execution.”

"Members of the SLAAA represent Sage Software's business partners who are most committed to the development of their company’s business,” said Ron Verni, Sage Software’s CEO and SLAAA executive sponsor. “Their commitment to improved leadership and strategic growth will contribute to the success of our mutual clients.”

Membership in SLAAA is restricted to Sage Software business partners who have previously participated in Sage Leadership Academy (SLA).
