San Diego, CA, August 1, 2007 – Ectron proudly announces anniversaries of some key personnel this past quarter. Robert “Howie” Clark, Diane Miller, Jonathan Jacob, Amy Cunningham, and Michael Fontes all reached employment milestones recently, and the company celebrated with an all-hands company meeting, awards ceremony, and reception with cake and punch.

Robert “Howie” Clark, VP of Operations, has been with the company for over 33 years. Howie began in Product Test, became the QA Manager, and two years ago was promoted to Vice President of Operations. In this role Howie manages Material, Production, QA, and Shipping/Receiving areas. Of his Ectron experience, Howie most enjoys the camaraderie of his staff associates. He and his team have been vital contributors to Ectron’s success over this time. He has a BS in Business from San Diego State University. When not contributing to Ectron, Howie and his wife Sue are avid golfers.

Diane Miller, Sales and Marketing Assistant, has been with the company for 25 years and has also served an important role in helping the company achieve tremendous sales growth. In this time Ectron has had many great product milestones like the introductions of the 428, 563, and 778 dc differential amplifiers. Diane loves the flexibility of Ectron in assisting her to balance her job with her strong commitment to family and community activities. When not at Ectron Diane balances her time with family and volunteering in the community on several boards as in Middle School Foundation, High School PTSA Membership Chair, BSA Committee Member, and various fundraising efforts for non-profit organizations.

Jonathan Jacob, CAD/CAM/CAE Engineering, has also been with Ectron for 25 years and has been the principal mechanical designer of nearly all Ectron products. His favorite design combination was the 441 Frequency to Voltage Converter and the 408-6 Channel enclosure for the 400 series devices. Jonathan really likes the family atmosphere of Ectron as evidenced by his long tenure here. Jonathan is a native Californian and is dedicated to caring for his family in Encinitas. In his spare time, he is an avid gardener and often shares the produce with his co-workers.

Amy Cunningham, Marketing Assistant, graduated from UCSD with honors, and then joined Ectron over a year ago. She is the principal caretaker of the company’s many marketing initiatives from broadcast electronic mailings, to show planning, and managing the new web site. In her brief tenure, Amy has made a positive and enduring difference for the company. Amy has studied linguistics, and recently completed a course in French at the University of Grenoble.

Michael Fontes, Sales and Marketing Manager, recently joined the company, and celebrated his first anniversary of employment here. Michael helped lead Ectron into a profitable fiscal year just ended, and claims this is just the beginning. He balances his Ectron duties which include frequent travel with an active family life.

Upon this festive occasion, CEO and company founder Earl Cunningham marveled at the contributions of each member of his Ectron team, and noted, “We have built a profitable company through the hard work and dedication of every member here. We are both grateful and proud to have these fine employees.”
