A new study led by CT Strategies clears the fog around the state of CBP’s CTPAT Program

CTS_1024_x_768_Modified_Logo

WASHINGTON, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A new study led by CT Strategies in collaboration with CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) and the University of Houston’s BTI Institute (A DHS Center of Excellence), surveyed and interviewed CTPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) members and program administrators to examine the program’s effectiveness, identify areas of weakness, and provide suggestions for improvement. The study proved timely, as the program’s value has been scrutinized during the pandemic when industry stakeholders began cutting costs and evaluating returns on many types of investment.

This study delivers a holistic view of the program through surveying program members, but also involving responses collected from CTPAT management at the field office and headquarter levels, as well as from CBP officers at ports of entry. The research consists of interviews with 24% of the CTPAT workforce and a broad sample of CTPAT members across industries. Of the over 11,000 members of the CTPAT program, a notable 33% provided survey responses making the study more comprehensive than the last evaluation conducted in 2011.

Results of the study include actionable statistics as well as detailed anecdotal responses from interviews that were conducted to gauge member and administrative sentiment about the program. The report highlights that about half of CTPAT participants indicated that the benefits of CTPAT membership outweigh the costs. This is a more positive assessment of the program compared to the 2011 study.

Specific areas of recommended improvement noted in the study include:

  • Promote unofficial benefits and individualized benefits by entity type
  • Continue to improve program-wide consistency through policy, communication, and technology
  • Provide increased, improved, and more frequent training/interactions for CTPAT officials, CBP stakeholders and industry partners
  • Develop and collect program data to accurately evaluate the Program’s progress and set a potential foundation for the development of return on investment (ROI) metrics for members

The wide-ranging final report provides current insight for companies considering CTPAT membership, existing members looking to maximize their program benefits, port authorities interested in improving operational efficiency, academic researchers focused on trade, and leaders in the international community that are concerned with the advancement of trade facilitation.

The Home Depot Foundation Partners with Girl Scouts of the USA to Launch Skilled Trades Training Program for Young Women

The Home Depot Foundation

ATLANTA, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Home Depot Foundation today announced a new strategic partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) to provide introductory trades training experience and career education for young women.

The Home Depot Foundation

The Foundation and GSUSA will host the first-ever joint construction workshops for Cadette, Senior and Ambassador level Girl Scouts (8th – 12th grades). This pilot program, launching in Fall 2021, will engage troops throughout Atlanta, Denver and Houston, providing hands-on experience with carpentry and other building construction trades. These skilled trades workshops will be led by female industry professionals and will offer career guidance and additional education touchpoints for young women seeking trades training opportunities.

In 2020, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported data showing only 11% of construction workers and 27% of architecture and engineering professionals are women. Furthermore, the National Association of Home Builders’ 2019 Builder Member Census shared just 9% of their members are women and less than 0.5% are Black.

“The statistics undoubtedly underline the imbalance of talent and roles held by women within the construction trade industry,” said Shannon Gerber, The Home Depot Foundation’s executive director. “We recognized a natural intersection between the mission of The Foundation’s Path to Pro program and GSUSA’s focus on highlighting a variety of career pathways, leading to the creation of this joint effort. We’re proud to introduce this next step on our journey to preparing youth for the skilled trades, and we’re especially grateful to help bridge the opportunity gap for young women.”

“At Girl Scouts, we help girls discover who they want to be by introducing them to a wide variety of experiences to see what sparks their interest. From the very beginning, one of those experiences has been the skilled trades,” shared Suzanne Harper, senior director of national programs and partnerships. “We are thrilled to partner with The Home Depot Foundation to provide this innovative hands-on skilled trades experience that will allow girls to see themselves in these essential careers by connecting with role models to whom they can relate.”

To deepen this initiative, The Home Depot Foundation will extend scholarship opportunities to select high school senior Girl Scouts as part of its recently announced $250,000 Path to Pro scholarship program. This program grants financial assistance to eligible candidates for trade college or postsecondary programs. For more information on the Path to Pro scholarship program, visit https://www.myscholarship.app/home-depot-foundation.  

Earlier this month, the Foundation announced trades training partnerships with 100 Black Men of America, Inc. and The Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE) to focus on eliminating racial and social inequities through education and workforce development for Black youth and Black entrepreneurs.

About The Home Depot Foundation

 


The Home Depot Foundation
 works to improve the homes and lives of U.S. veterans, train skilled tradespeople to fill the labor gap and support communities impacted by natural disasters. Since 2011, the Foundation has invested more than $375 million in veteran causes and improved more than 50,000 veteran homes and facilities. The Foundation has pledged to invest half of a billion dollars in veteran causes by 2025 and $50 million in training the next generation of skilled tradespeople through the Path to Pro program.

New Ad Campaign Targets Abortion-Vulnerable Women in Critical U.S. Markets

Save the Storks

TV, radio and digital ads will run in California and Florida where are abortion rates are high

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Save the Storks announced today it is launching a new awareness campaign in “mission critical” markets in California and Florida which have some of the highest abortion rates in the nation. According to the research group Abort 73, 22 and 24 percent of all pregnancies are aborted in California and Florida, respectively. 

Save the Storks

The first phase of the initiative will consist of targeted radio, TV and digital marketing with messaging aimed at raising awareness around the pro-life movement, communicating the value of local pregnancy centers and articulating ways people can help connect abortion-vulnerable women to life-saving options in their communities.

“Often the issue of abortion can seem remote or even overwhelming to many people. They are unsure how to get involved or make a difference,” said Diane Ferraro, CEO of Save the Storks. “Our organization wants to help people get involved with their local pregnancy center so they can help change the issue of abortion on a local level that will have ripple effects nationally, and lower abortion rates across the country.” 

The second phase, set to launch in August, will focus on connecting women with local pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) in these regions. The goal is to ensure women know where and how they can get the care they need. Women facing unplanned pregnancies will also be directed to mobile medical units, known as “Stork Buses” in their communities.  

PRCs are a vital resource for communities, providing more than two million people per year with free medical and material resources at a tax-payer savings of $270 million.

For media inquiries or interviews, please contact: [email protected].

About Save the Storks  

Save the Storks exists to inspire cultural change by shaping compelling pro-life narratives and empowering strategic partners to serve and value every life. The organization partners with pregnancy resource centers across the United States to empower women with choice during pregnancy through state-of-the-art mobile medical units known as “The Stork Bus.” For more information about Save the Storks, visit savethestorks.com.

362,000+ NYers Could Benefit by Enrolling Today in Affordable Health Plan through NY State of Health

0
AARP_New_York_Logo

NEW YORK, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hundreds of thousands more New Yorkers lack health insurance than before the coronavirus pandemic began last year – particularly those of color. AARP New York is encouraging them to enroll in a quality, low-cost health plan now through NY State of Health- the State’s official health plan Marketplace.

New Yorkers are now eligible for more financial help to lower monthly health insurance premium costs, thanks to the federal American Rescue Plan signed into law in March 2021. This new financial help is available through NY State of Health to current and new enrollees who qualify, and starting in June to higher-income individuals for the first time.

Uninsured New Yorkers ages 50 to 64 were particularly hard-hit by skyrocketing health insurance premiums during the pandemic.

“This is a great opportunity for New Yorkers to get additional financial help,  and AARP New York encourages all who need it to take advantage of these federal benefits,” said AARP New York State Director Beth Finkel.

As we continue fighting for older adults to have access to affordable health care, AARP New York is offering additional resources and information about enrollment and new subsidies at www.aarp.org/acany. To read more about how NY State of Health enrollees can benefit from the American Rescue Plan, please go to https://info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/americanrescueplan

To allow as many consumers as possible to access these enhanced tax credits, and in light of the ongoing public health emergency, the 2021 Open Enrollment Period has been extended through December 31, 2021. New Yorkers can apply for coverage through www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov, by phone at 1-855-355-5777 and by connecting with a free enrollment assistor.

Nearly 29 million Americans did not have insurance prior to the pandemic, and that number increased significantly over the past year as millions more lost their jobs and employer-based care or left the workforce to care for their families. To date, more than 5.8 million New Yorkers have enrolled in a health plan through NY State of Health.

Finding health insurance is particularly challenging for adults ages 50-64, who often face higher premiums that make it unaffordable. Adults in this age range who purchase coverage on their own pay up to three times more than other age groups.

As many as 362,000 New Yorkers ages 50 to 64 could potentially be helped by the extended Open Enrollment Period and expanded premium tax credits, including:

  • 208,780 (5.4% of) older adults who are uninsured and could be eligible for coverage through NY State of Health;
  • 153,196 (4.2% of) older adults who are already enrolled in the non-group (individual) health insurance market and may qualify for new or bigger tax credits that will help lower their premiums. Many people could now pay $0 in premiums, while others could save up to thousands of dollars a year on their premiums.

“While the Affordable Care Act has greatly reduced the number of older adults who are uninsured, coverage has remained unaffordable for far too many people aged 50-64, particularly those who are Hispanic/Latino and Native Americans,” said Nancy LeaMond, AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy & Engagement Officer. “We want to make sure that the millions of currently uninsured older adults know that new subsidies are available to them.”

The extended Open Enrollment Period with expanded premium tax credit subsidies is an important opportunity to help reduce racial and ethnic coverage disparities.

While the ACA significantly reduced uninsured rates for all adults ages 50 to 64, significant disparities remained in New York by race and ethnicity pre-pandemic:

  • 3.4% of Whites;
  • 10.5% of Hispanic/Latinos – more than triple the rate of Whites;
  • 8.9% of Asian Americans, more than double the rate of Whites;
  • 5.8% of African American/Blacks;
  • 7.7% of American Indian/Alaska Natives.

And those 2019 numbers have likely increased due to pandemic-related job losses.

AARP’s Public Policy Institute found that nearly half of American adults ages 50-64 who buy their own health insurance faced unaffordable health coverage in 2019, compared to only 30% of younger adults. For example, a 64-year-old earning $49,000 a year would have faced a premium of 30% of their income—a price tag that would put health insurance out of reach for many.

No American should be cut off from the opportunity to live a healthy life. AARP New York encourages all New Yorkers who are uninsured or struggling to afford health insurance to visit www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov for information about how to get more affordable health insurance.

People who already receive financial assistance are likely eligible for even more help. For those who were not eligible for financial assistance through the Marketplace before, check again – you may be eligible now. In addition, anyone receiving unemployment insurance in 2021 will not have to pay premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace plans.

Together, we can further help reduce disparities and address the problems of health care costs.

Alcoholics Anonymous in the U.S. and Canada Welcomes New Board Chairperson

0
Linda Chezem (nonalcoholic), has been selected as chairperson of A.A.'s General Service Board.

NEW YORK, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Linda Chezem (nonalcoholic), of Plainfield, Indiana, has been selected as chairperson of A.A.’s General Service Board, replacing outgoing board chair Michele Grinberg. Trained as a lawyer, Linda spent 22 years serving as a judge, beginning as the first female Circuit Court judge in Indiana followed by a decade on the Indiana Court of Appeals. 

Linda Chezem (nonalcoholic), has been selected as chairperson of A.A.'s General Service Board.

A.A. has always relied on its many nonalcoholic friends to provide professional expertise, sound business judgment and balance to the dedicated group of trustees who donate their time and interest in service to Alcoholics Anonymous. Importantly, of the 21 members of A.A.’s General Service Board, seven are specifically designated as Class A (nonalcoholic) trustees and can provide services that the 14 Class B (recovering alcoholic) trustees cannot, particularly in the area of providing public information about A.A. where they can face the camera head-on or use their last names without concern about anonymity. While Class A trustees do not serve as spokespeople for the Fellowship, they are available as representatives of A.A. for interviews about A.A. across multiple communications platforms — in TV, public Media, e-radio and podcasts. (For more information about A.A.’s principle of anonymity, you can watch a brief video from A.A.’s General Service Office.)

For Linda, becoming chairperson provides a humbling opportunity, a chance to help spread the particular hope she has witnessed in the eyes of A.A. members as they recover. While still a trial court judge, Linda spearheaded the first certified court alcohol and drug program in Indiana, serving on a state substance abuse advisory council along with state legislators and A.A. members. In the mid-1990s, she served on the board of an Indianapolis treatment center where the chief executive was also an A.A. member.

Also joining the board this year are two new Class A (nonalcoholic) trustees who will serve the Fellowship over the next six years: Kevin Prior, Senior Director of Finance for the Catholic Health Association of the United States, of St. Louis, Missouri; and Molly Anderson, Executive Director for the Center of Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness at the University of Buffalo, of Williamsville, New York.

Para una notificación en español, visite Documentos importantes.

What is this about?  Plaintiff David Levy claims that Dollar General Corporation; Dolgencorp, LLC; and DG Retail, LLC (collectively, “Defendants” or “Dollar General”) used deceptive and misleading sales and marketing tactics in selling the DG Health Infants’ Acetaminophen. Dollar General vigorously denies all allegations of wrongdoing or liability made in the lawsuit. Both sides have agreed to the Settlement to avoid the cost of further litigation.

Who is affected?  You are a Class Member if you purchased DG Health Infants’ Acetaminophen from September 15, 2016 through June 8, 2021 (the “Class Period”) for personal or household use in the United States.

What does the Settlement provide?  The Settlement provides both injunctive and monetary relief.

Injunctive Relief:  Defendants have agreed to not sell DG Health Infants’ Acetaminophen unless it states that the liquid medicine in the Product contains the same concentration of liquid acetaminophen that is in DG Health Children’s Acetaminophen or language on the labeling/packaging that is substantially similar.

Monetary Relief:  Defendants also agreed to pay a Settlement Amount of $1.8 million to establish a Claim Fund. The Claim Fund will pay: (1) settlement administration expenses, not to exceed $350,000; (2) attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount approved by the Court, but not to exceed $600,000; (3) a Class Representative service award in an amount of $5,000 as approved by the Court, if any; and (4) monetary benefits to Class Members who timely submit a valid claim.

What can I get?  If the Court approves the Settlement, Class Members will be entitled to a partial refund of $1.70 for every 1 fl. oz. and 2 fl. oz. bottle of Infants’ Acetaminophen purchased during the Class Period for which they have a valid proof of purchase.
