Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 31, 2011, the Board of Directors of Premier Alliance Group, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Patrick Kolenik to serve as a director for the Company.  Mr. Kolenik is currently the President of Cyndel and Company, an advisory consulting company, and is a past Chariman and CEO of Sherwood Securities and has extensive experience with public companies.

The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Kolenik to its Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.   The Board has determined that Mr. Kolenik meets the SEC’s qualifications to be an “independent director.”   

Currently the independent board members do not receive compensation for service as a director. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Kolenik and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Kolenik was selected as a director, and there are no related party transactions involving Mr. Kolenik that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 
 
Item 5.03Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year 

On January 31, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors amended and restated its Bylaws (the “Amendment”), effective immediately.  The previous Bylaws were adopted in 2000 by the Company’s prior management.  The Company’s current Board of Directors adopted the Amendment to clarify and update the Bylaws.   Except for reducing the quorum necessary for actions at a meeting of stockholders from one-half to one-third, no material changes were made to the Bylaws.
