Skokie, Ill. -- June 28, 2000 -- Forsythe Technology, Inc., a full-service technology infrastructure provider, has named Albert L. Weiss senior vice president of finance and administration. Weiss will also sit on the company’s board of directors. In addition, he will serve as president of Forsythe McArthur Associates, Inc., the financing and leasing arm of Forsythe Technology. Weiss will join the company July 10th and will replace the retiring Gordon Decker, who previously held these positions.
Weiss, 54, comes to Forsythe from Alltech Data Systems, a network integration company.

From 1984-1991, Weiss was with Forsythe McArthur Associates as executive vice president and CFO. In addition, he was with Continental Bank, Chicago, for 10 years serving as vice president and division manager of what was, at that time, one of the country's leading lending groups to the leasing industry.
"We are pleased to welcome Al back to Forsythe," said Richard A. Forsythe, chairman and CEO of Forsythe Technology. "With his more than 30 years of experience in financial services and executive management in the technology services industry, he will be an important part of our continued growth."
