CEO-Led Coalition Launches A Day for Democracy Initiative to Increase Voter Participation

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — More than 100 CEOs from around the country today announced that they are participating in A Day for Democracy, which launched this week.

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — More than 100 CEOs from around the country today announced that they are participating in A Day for Democracy, which launched this week. A Day for Democracy is a growing coalition, founded by CEOs and leaders of top-ranked firms in industries including finance, real estate and construction, venture capital, higher education, entertainment, hospitality and healthcare that have pledged to increase voter registration and participation of their employees.

The non-partisan initiative asks employers across the U.S. to commit to take action to give employees time off to vote, and/or to help workers register and access their right to vote – in local, state and national elections – on their terms, whether at polling locations or from the safety of their own home. They can use a responsible online platform of their choice or work with turbovote.org, a leading online service through which employees can register, receive election reminders, and obtain, if they wish to use one, a mail-in ballot.

«There is no more important or patriotic act than voting,» said Peter Palandjian, Chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, who created the coalition. «I’ve always been troubled by routine low turnout in U.S. elections and wanted to find a way to have a positive effect on increasing voter participation. As a CEO, I recognize that I can help by removing barriers for my own employees and encouraging others to do the same. We can all do better, and this non-partisan effort is an important first step.»

Joining Palandjian in A Day for Democracy are Robert Reynolds, President and CEO of Putnam Investments; Tim Buckley, Chairman and CEO of Vanguard Group; Ronald O’Hanley, Chairman and CEO of State Street Corp.; Larry Bacow, President of Harvard University; Miceal Chamberlain, Bank of America’s Massachusetts Market President; J. Alexander (Sandy) Douglas, President and CEO of Staples Inc.; Tom Croswell, President and CEO of Tufts Health Plan; Andrew Dreyfus, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; James Judge, Chairman, President and CEO of Eversource; Dr. Peter Slavin, President, Massachusetts General Hospital; Linda Henry, Managing Director of The Boston Globe; Jonathan Bush, Executive Chairman at Firefly Health; and over 90 other companies including goop, Amblin Partners, Starwood Capital, Tely-vision, Bluebird Bio, Bain Capital, Bain & Co. and Wayfair Inc. The growing list of participants in the coalition, who together represent almost 300,000 employees to-date, can be found on the website, www.aDayforDemocracy.com.  

The U.S. has one of the lowest voter participation rates of any democracy in the world. Less than 56 percent of the U.S. voting age population cast ballots in the last presidential election, and even fewer voted during the mid-term elections in 2014. Almost every other democracy holds elections on the weekend to make it easier to vote, and many that hold them during the week designate the day as a holiday.

This year, because of the pandemic, U.S. voters face an additional, unique set of challenges. While many states are increasing voting-by-mail opportunities to accommodate these circumstances, several specific steps are required to participate, including:

  • confirming voter registration and registering if necessary;
  • requesting an application to vote by mail;
  • receiving, completing and submitting that application;
  • receiving, completing and returning on time the ballot itself.

«As a nation, we have an obligation to ensure that we reduce barriers and allow every citizen the opportunity to exercise their right to vote,» said Palandjian. «In rallying the support of employers across the country, we hope this movement will continue beyond this year and will reinvigorate the civic engagement of our country.»

‘Spiritual Genius’ of Knights of Columbus Founder Offers Solution for Current Divisions

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson urged the Knights to redouble their efforts to combat racism, violence and hatred through their ongoing witness of charity, unity and fraternity in society.  «Living these principles,» he said, «is the highest expression of patriotism today.»

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson urged the Knights to redouble their efforts to combat racism, violence and hatred through their ongoing witness of charity, unity and fraternity in society.  «Living these principles,» he said, «is the highest expression of patriotism today.»

Anderson addressed the Knights membership during the organization’s 138th annual convention, held virtually for the first time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

«Many of our fellow citizens are still treated differently because of the color of their skin,» said Anderson. «Whenever and wherever this happens, it is wrong. And it must be righted.»

Anderson recommitted the Knights to its programs in support of Native Americans and to foster an «honest recounting of their history.» He lamented the recent desecration of churches and statues of saints, especially St. Junipero Serra, whom he called a «heroic and saintly missionary.»  «Where others seek to divide,» said Anderson, «let us promote unity. And where racism festers, let us build fraternity.»

‘Spiritual Genius’

Grounded in its principle of fraternity — and as the beatification of its founder draws near — the Knights of Columbus is focused on serving others in the face of daunting health, economic and social challenges. 

«Living in fraternity is what we do every day,» said Anderson.  «It is this commitment to fraternity that gives us the strength to do the great works of charity that our times demand.»

Anderson credited Knights’ founder, Father Michael J. McGivney, with a «spiritual genius» for bringing men together as brothers who care for others through lives of charity.

Father McGivney will be beatified – the final step before canonization – on Saturday, Oct. 31, at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Hartford. Anderson also announced that the Knights of Columbus Museum in New Haven will be transformed into the Blessed Michael J. McGivney Pilgrimage Center.

True Patriotism

Anderson suggested that Father McGivney’s beatification is timely since he understood well the pain of prejudice and discrimination as religious bigotry in the 19th-century targeted Catholics. However, McGivney and his contemporaries identified a uniquely American way forward.

«They saw in the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment a path offered to them that could be found in no other country,» said Anderson. He cited a similar insight expressed by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who placed hope in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence because they constitute a «promissory note to …every American.»

Fraternal Giving

In 2019, Anderson reported, the Knights donated more than $187 million and volunteered more than 77 million hours of service valued at more than $2 billion.

The organization responded to the pandemic with the Knights’ locally driven «Leave No Neighbor Behind» program to help neighbors most vulnerable to the illness, as well as blood drives and support for food banks in the U.S and Canada. Other initiatives included million-dollar lines of credit to dioceses in financial trouble and financial aid to the Vatican’s Bambino Gesù hospital for children in Rome.

Those programs are being carried out in tandem with the Knights’ ongoing activities for the disabled via Special Olympics and programs to help the needy, including Coats for Kids and disaster relief.

Insurance Growth Despite Pandemic

Despite the economic downturn due to the virus, Anderson reported insurance sales of $8.4 billion over the past 12 months with agents adopting a virtual business model over the last four months. With nearly $27 billion in assets under management, he said, the K of C is meeting both its financial obligations, and its charitable aspirations.

In April, the Knights of Columbus was one of six companies to receive the highest ranking in a Standard & Poor’s review of North American life insurance companies, ranking them on the basis of financial health.

Joy – and a Call

Anderson concluded his report with a final word on Father McGivney’s beatification and how it is both a cause for joy and a call to higher standards of charity, unity and fraternity.

«We step forward together,» said Anderson, «as Knights of Columbus — Knights of Fraternity – to continue our great work.»

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — DSI, a leading provider of cloud-based inventory management solutions, announced today its touchless applications empower supply chain organizations to optimize inventory processes while helping to keep workers productive and safe by reducing person-to-person contact during COVID-19.

DSI’s contact-free Proof of Delivery mobile application features GPS and photo capture, and remote approvals. These features reduce the need for paper-based processes while providing real-time, end-to-end inventory traceability and accurate delivery information. With on- and offline capabilities, Proof of Delivery has an easy-to-use interface and provides quick access to key information making user adoption fast and easy, with less time spent in training.

Another example of DSI contactless offerings is driver check-in/check-out and electronic documents like bills of lading. Digitizing this traditionally paper-based bills of lading process eliminates the need to transfer paper documents from person to person — a safety benefit for essential personnel, such as warehouse workers and truck drivers. It allows back-office personnel to receive real-time updates while working remotely, while drivers and recipients can practice social distancing at the point of delivery. This digital platform provides increased safety, productivity, and visibility to every employee involved in getting a product from the warehouse to the store shelf.

«Inventory management is about tracking and protecting high-value assets,» said Mark Goode, President & CEO, DSI. «Our team is proud to offer touchless solutions that protect our most valuable assets — our employees — especially in times of crisis like we’re experiencing today.»

The Hidden Genius Project Youth Tech Program Expands to Los Angeles Following Success in Oakland and Richmond

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The following impact statement is from Kayla Mason, Los Angeles Site Director and Brandon Nicholson, Executive Director:

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The following impact statement is from Kayla Mason, Los Angeles Site Director and Brandon Nicholson, Executive Director:

Twenty years ago, five Black male technologists discovered their genius in high school as Ron Brown Scholars. After college, they joined forces to launch The Hidden Genius Project in Oakland and Richmond, California which since 2012 has supported nearly 7,000 young leaders worldwide. Like Ron Brown Scholars, our Geniuses are building a lifelong network to leverage their collective power to transform their lives and communities.

It is with great excitement that we announce The Hidden Genius Project’s commitment to the ongoing struggle for Black liberation is now operating in Los Angeles.

Despite the uncertain terrain of navigating a global pandemic and civil unrest over state violence, The Hidden Genius Project is equipping young people with technology, business, and leadership skills they can leverage to make that liberation a reality.

We recently expanded our work—including our Intensive Immersion Program—from the Bay Area to Los Angeles and virtually launched our inaugural cohort last month. We are committed to building partnerships with a broad array of community stakeholders in LA (including families, community leaders, educators, etc.), meet local creatives and entrepreneurs grounded in local ownership, and work with storytellers to elevate the voices of our Los Angeles Geniuses.

Before we arrived at The Hidden Genius Project, our Los Angeles team worked in education reform targeted at improving the quality of life for young people of color. We recognized that systemic inequities and false narratives perpetuated the perception of Black communities and young Black men. Through our work today, we are excited to be a part of LA’s caring and effective network of organizations and people who believe we all stand to benefit from the empowerment of those of us who have most acutely suffered from opportunity inaccessibility.

Our LA team’s backgrounds in school education reform, program evaluation, grassroots organizing, and holistic youth development has prepared us to lead this work to empower our young people. More significantly, our entire team at The Hidden Genius Project is driven by an unflinching belief in our young people, their potential, and their ability not only to achieve their dreams, but to lead us to achieve ours. Finally, we fully believe in our work as a strategy rooted in targeted universalism: that the energy we pour into our Black male youth continually radiates to have a positive impact on our society more broadly.

We are excited to join a dynamic Los Angeles ecosystem of community leaders, and we invite you to be a part of our story to build this work together.

In Partnership,

Kayla Mason

Technology Businesses Turn to CompTIA ISAO for Critical Threat Intelligence

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Technology solution providers, managed services providers (MSPs) and other organizations searching for critical cybersecurity threat intelligence have a new resource available from CompTIA.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Technology solution providers, managed services providers (MSPs) and other organizations searching for critical cybersecurity threat intelligence have a new resource available from CompTIA.

The nonprofit association for the global information technology (IT) industry today launched the CompTIA ISAO (Information Sharing and Analysis Organization) to serve as the focal point for dealing with cyber-threats to technology vendors, MSPs, solution providers, integrators, distributors, and business technology consultants.

«We are in a time of unprecedented and malicious hacking activity, much of which is targeted specifically at technology product, service and solution companies,» said MJ Shoer, executive director of the CompTIA ISAO. «Many of these companies had no other option but to go it alone in defending against these threats.

«We intend to change the cybersecurity landscape by bringing together the know-how and power of the industry to deliver timely, relevant, actionable threat intelligence that companies can use to protect themselves and more importantly, keep their customers safe and secure.»

The CompTIA ISAO evolved from the TSP-ISAO established in August 2019 by technology entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Arnie Bellini in conjunction with ConnectWise, the leading business automation software company he co-founded. Management and operations of the TSP-ISAO were transferred earlier this year to CompTIA, a vendor-neutral, member-led trade association.

Bellini Capital, ConnectWise, Dark Cubed, Sophos, and Axcient and were announced as industry partners of the CompTIA ISAO today.

A dedicated group of cybersecurity subject matter experts from ADT, Alvaka Networks, Atlas Cybersecurity, Cyjax, Skout Cybersecurity, SolarWinds, Triada Networks, Verizon and WeaponEyes are also working with the CompTIA ISAO.

Additionally, innovative partnerships have been forged with the Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IT-ISAC) and  TruSTAR to build out the threat intelligence feed and custom reporting that will serve as the backbone of the CompTIA ISAO. This ensures that members will receive critical, targeted, real-time information in a way that’s easy to understand and act upon.

«Raising the cybersecurity resilience of the industry is important for everyone,» Shoer explained. «This is how, together, we will fight back against this existential threat and do the right thing for our industry and the global economy.»

The CompTIA ISAO is dedicated to advancing the cybersecurity resiliency of the global technology industry. It is a resource where organizations in the business of technology can share real-time threat intelligence, analysis of potential impacts, coordinated countermeasure response efforts, cybersecurity best-practice adoption, and workforce education.

In addition to the latest cybersecurity intelligence data, all CompTIA ISAO members will receive full access to CompTIA corporate member benefits, including all the resources, communities and tools designed to help a technology busines thrive.

For complete details on the CompTIA ISAO and the benefits of membership visit https://www.comptiaisao.org/.

About the CompTIA ISAO

The mission of the CompTIA ISAO is to advance the cybersecurity resiliency of the global tech industry.

ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — MoistureShield today announced its Vision® capped composite decking line has been approved for the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Building Materials listing in California, a program of the California Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM).

«Achieving WUI compliance is a significant achievement for MoistureShield Vision in California, where wildfires are on the rise,» said Matthew Bruce, VP Sales & Marketing, MoistureShield. «As an industry, we need to build smarter and WUI building compliance helps protect lives and property.»

See OSFM Listing No. 8110-2321-0500 for allowable values and/or conditions for use.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the state’s emergency response and resource protection department, oversees WUI zones and building material requirements. The listing for Vision 1X5.4 is easy to search on CAL FIRE’s website by entering the MoistureShield company name at

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Students participating in Space Station Explorers STEM programs across the nation will pose questions this week to NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy aboard the International Space Station. The educational downlink event will air live at 12:45 p.m. EDT Friday, Aug. 7, on NASA Television and the agency’s website.

Cassidy will answer prerecorded questions from students participating in Space Station Explorers STEM programs through the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, the organization tasked by NASA to manage U.S. National Laboratory research on the space station. The organization works to bring value to America, enable a sustainable commercial research market in low-Earth orbit, and to engage and inspire the next generation of explorers.

The Earth-to-space call serves as the kickoff to the Celebrating Station Science series, which will connect students and educators to 20 years of space station experiments and research through monthly themes with K-12 STEM resources and the career paths of NASA astronauts, scientists, and engineers as they share their stories. Each month during the 2020-2021 school year, educators may use lesson plans, information on space station experiments, and various space station resources to excite the Artemis Generation of explorers.

Linking students directly to astronauts aboard the space station provides unique, authentic experiences designed to enhance student learning, performance, and interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Astronauts living in space on the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Space Network’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS).

For nearly 20 years, astronauts have continuously lived and work on the space station, testing technologies, performing science and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Through NASA’s Artemis program, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon by 2024, with eventual human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers – the Artemis Generation – ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.
