Founding Partner Retires

COLUMBIA, Md.-- VSE Corporation (Nasdaq GS: VSEC) is pleased to announce the promotion of Nancy Margolis to President of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Energetics Incorporated. Ms. Margolis is taking over for James E. Reed, who retired after leading Energetics as President for the past five years.

VSE CEO Maurice "Mo" Gauthier said, "After years of dedicated service as President of Energetics, Jim Reed has announced his retirement. On behalf of the directors, officers, and employees of the company, I take this opportunity to thank Jim for his years of outstanding leadership. We wish him well in the years to come."

Nancy Margolis is a highly qualified successor to Mr. Reed at Energetics. She has worked continuously at the firm for 26 years, rising through the ranks to become Vice President, Science and Technology Division, in 2007. Mr. Gauthier added, "Nancy has won national acclaim as an expert in industrial energy analysis, is widely respected by her clients and business peers, and for the past two years has directed the firm's largest single contract, providing technical support for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy."

Ms. Margolis said, "I am excited about the opportunity to lead Energetics at such an opportune time in the fields of energy, environment, and infrastructure protection. The company has many talented staff members who are recognized as leaders in our industry. We will continue to provide the highest quality service to our existing clients while exploring new avenues of business in adjacent markets."

Mr. Reed was one of Energetics' founding partners in 1979 and came out of retirement in 2005 to serve as President/CEO for the past five years. During that period, the company's revenue climbed significantly across its practice areas. "Jim's leadership and integrity have set a standard that will endure for a long time," says Ms. Margolis. "We will all miss him and wish him the very best as he enjoys his well-earned retirement with his wife, Cathie, and his two new grandchildren." Mr. Reed will continue to serve as a member of Energetics' Board of Directors.
