Dallas, Texas, USA, November 17, 2005 — The Dallas office of Stanton Chase International executive recruiters was named the Stanton Chase Global Office of the Year, beating out the company’s 60 offices in 40 countries. Additionally, the office was selected for the Aggie 100 list of the fastest-growing companies owned and operated by graduates of Texas A&M University . Stanton Chase was No. 17 on the list.

Dallas native Ed Moerbe, a co-founder of the office in 1992 and a managing partner, received his bachelor’s degree from the university.

The Global Office designation was announced at Stanton Chase’s recent international meeting in Santiago, Chile, and was based on comparative performance, growth, and responsiveness.
