PCMC Appoints Robert Uithoven to Its Nevada Economic Development Committee
Former Gibbons’ Campaign Manager Brings Legislative Experience to the Committee
LAS VEGAS, Nev., January 15, 2007 — Public Company Management Corporation (OTCBB: PUBC), has named Robert Uithoven, manager for Jim Gibbons’ successful 2006 Nevada gubernatorial campaign, as a member of the company’s newly installed Nevada Economic Development Committee. The committee will consist of a team of 9 or more prominent businesspeople and legislators who will help support the company’s goal of developing a strong client base in Nevada, a goal that the company believes will in turn contribute to the state’s overall economic growth. With its business-friendly securities laws and numerous economic development incentives, Nevada is fertile ground for business growth, and PCMC’s business model, which focuses on training small business clients to raise capital, encourages companies to domicile or restructure in Nevada. |

“Robert Uithoven shares our passion for building a better Nevada and promoting economic growth in the state, and with his experience in the political arena, he brings an ideal combination of skills to our work with Nevada-based companies,” said Stephen Brock, president of PCMC. “We are honored to partner with prominent Nevadans like Robert, and we believe that their participation on our Nevada Economic Development Committee will help us fulfill our goals of spreading the word about Nevada’s favorable environment for business, encouraging more companies to incorporate in Nevada, and assisting Nevada companies in raising capital and expanding their businesses through self-distribution of stock and ongoing compliance and participation in capital markets.”

As Governor Gibbons’ campaign manager, Uithoven led day-to-day strategic planning, communications and fundraising efforts. Prior to the official beginning of the campaign, Uithoven chaired the Friends of Jim Gibbons exploratory committee from February to August of 2005. In that position, Uithoven helped secure financial and political support for a Gibbons statewide campaign. From 2002 to early 2005, Uithoven served as Jim Gibbons’ congressional chief of staff. In that position, he was charged with managing Gibbons’ staff and daily operations in each of his three Nevada-based district offices, as well as his staff in Washington, DC. He managed all of Gibbons’ administrative, legislative and political affairs, and oversaw Gibbons’ re-election efforts to Congress in both the 2002 and 2004 election cycles. Over 10 years of working for Gibbons, Uithoven served as communications director, district director, legislative director and deputy chief of staff. He spent about half of his tenure working in Gibbons’ federal office on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and the rest of the time based in Nevada.

A Reno native, Uithoven received a baseball scholarship to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After graduating with a degree in English, Uithoven worked at Bank of America in Las Vegas, eventually serving as a manager before accepting a position with Gibbons. Along with his wife, Tamara, he currently serves as chairman of the governor’s northern Nevada Inaugural Ball. Uithoven works with Sig Rogich of the Rogich Communications Group on various projects in Nevada. He has formed his own political and government affairs company, J3 Strategies. Uithoven lives in Reno with his wife and three sons.

In addition to Uithoven, PCMC is in the process of recruiting and appointing other top business leaders and legislators to its Nevada Economic Development Committee. Mark Daigle, president and CEO of Colonial Bank’s Nevada operations, has agreed to co-chair the committee.
