MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 1997--Computer Horizons Corp. (Nasdaq: CHRZ) announced today that its chairman and president, John J.

This elite competition, founded and produced by Ernst & Young and sponsored by the Entrepreneur Of The Year Institute, the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, USA TODAY and The Nasdaq Stock Market, is the nation's most prestigious honor for entrepreneurs who have created and sustained growing business ventures.

In fact, it is the chosen solution for our nation's largest bank, insurance firm, federal contractor, transportation services company and many more.

Under Cassese's vision for the company, Computer Horizons has recently established CHC International, Ltd., with offices in Toronto and London. Together with Computer Horizon's Indian-based joint venture, Birla Horizons, these steps toward internationalizing Computer Horizons also represent the beginning of a larger vision to globalize the company by the close of this century.
