«El año pasado fue un año sin precedentes en el sector inmobiliario de Texas«, dijo Marvin Jolly, presidente de Texas Realtors. El año pasado, los agentes inmobiliarios del estado de la Estrella Solitaria hicieron todo lo posible para apoyar a sus comunidades, elevar nuestra industria e impactar las vidas de sus clientes. Estos premios son un testimonio de la resistencia de los agentes inmobiliarios, especialmente durante estos tiempos difíciles».

El premio 2020 Texas Realtor of the Year, el honor más prestigioso que se otorga anualmente a un miembro que ha realizado contribuciones destacadas a la industria a lo largo de su carrera, fue otorgado a Shad Bogany de Houston.

Anteriormente se desempeñó como presidente de Texas Realtors en 2013 y presidente de la Houston Association of Realtors en 2002.

El premio Tom D. Morton al Ejecutivo del Año de la Asociación, otorgado a los ejecutivos de la asociación de agentes inmobiliarios con una larga trayectoria de servicio a su asociación local, fue entregado a Connie Coots, directora ejecutiva de la Junta de agentes inmobiliarios de Odessa. Coots trabajó con los líderes locales durante la pandemia para garantizar que las transacciones inmobiliarias pudieran continuar de manera segura y lideró una iniciativa para fabricar más de 200 mascarillas para los bomberos y rescatistas de la ciudad. En el 2005, Coots también fue honrada con el premio Tom D. Morton al Ejecutivo del Año de la Asociación.

Sydney Ealy de Houston recibió el premio Texas Realtor Good Neighbor, que honra a un agente de bienes raíces que ha demostrado una participación destacada en la comunidad y voluntariado.

Alison Blalock de WestMark Commercial/TNC Worldwide recibió el premio William C. Jennings 2020 por la transacción destacada de bienes raíces comerciales del año. El premio se basa en la contribución de la transacción a la comunidad, el mérito y la creatividad y la aplicación de los principios comerciales. La transacción ganadora transformó un espacio de oficinas inutilizable en 89 unidades de vivienda asequibles en uno de los edificios más históricos de Lubbock, Metro Tower. La torre había estado prácticamente deshabitada desde que un tornado devastador dañó el edificio en 1970.

La asociación Austin Board of Realtors recibió el Premio al logro en asuntos gubernamentales Mark Lehman 2020. El premio reconoce a una asociación de agentes inmobiliarios local que ha demostrado excelencia en la recaudación de fondos, participación de base y otras iniciativas locales durante el año.

El premio Texas Realtors Grassroots Advocate of the Year fue entregado a Lee Overstreet de la Asociación de Agentes de Bienes Raíces de Granbury por su apoyo en dos campañas exitosas para candidatos apoyados por agentes de bienes raíces, incluido el representante estatal Glenn Rogers del Distrito 60 de la Cámara de Representates de Texas y el congresista de los EE.UU. August Pfluger. El premio Texas Realtors Grassroots Advocate of the Year reconoce a una persona de la lista completa de ganadores del premio Texas Realtors Strike Force del año.

TORRANCE, California, 24 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Los modelos Acura RDX y TLX 2021 han obtenido la calificación de seguridad más alta posible otorgada por el Instituto de Seguros para la Seguridad en las Carreteras (IIHS). Ambos modelos Acura calificaron para la Selección Máxima de Seguridad+ o TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) al obtener una alta puntuación de «BUENO» en todas las pruebas de resistencia a la colisión, una puntuación de «SUPERIOR» para el sistema de frenado con mitigación de colisión, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), parte de la tecnología estándar de seguridad y asistencia al conductor AcuraWatch™ y sus faros delanteros con calificación de «BUENO». Si bien aún no ha sido evaluado por el IIHS, se espera que el nuevo Acura MDX 2022, el modelo insignia de la marca, también obtenga la calificación TSP+ en 2021 cuando sea evaluado más adelante este año.

2021 Acura RDX and TLX Earn Highest Possible Safety Award from IIHS

Todos los modelos sedán y SUV cuentan con el sistema de seguridad y asistencia al conductor AcuraWatch™ como equipo estándar, que incluye el sistema de frenado con mitigación de colisión, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), control de crucero adaptativo con seguimiento a baja velocidad y mitigación de salida de la vía. Los modelos Acura RDX y TLX 2021 vienen equipados con la estructura de carrocería con Ingeniería de Compatibilidad Avanzada (Advanced Compatibility Engineering™, ACE™) de Acura, diseñada para mejorar la protección de los pasajeros y la compatibilidad de ruptura en colisiones frontales con una red de elementos estructurales conectados que distribuyen la energía de la colisión de manera más equitativa por la zona frontal del vehículo y reducen las fuerzas transferidas al habitáculo de los pasajeros. Gracias a los faros delanteros LED JewelEye™ de Acura, ambos modelos logran las mejores calificaciones.

Para obtener el reconocimiento Selección Máxima de Seguridad+, el TOP SAFETY PICK+, un vehículo debe obtener buenas puntuaciones en materia de resistencia a la colisión en todas las modalidades de prueba, incluida la desafiante prueba con intrusión pequeña del lado del pasajero. También necesita disponer de sistemas de prevención de colisión frontal (estándar en el RDX y TLX) que consigan calificación avanzada o superior tanto en las pruebas de vehículo a vehículo como de vehículo a peatón y faros delanteros con puntuación estándar de bueno o aceptable.

March Of Dimes Announces 2021 March For Babies: A Mother Of A Movement™

ARLINGTON, Virginia, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit organization fighting for the health of all moms and babies, is pleased to announce <a target="_blank"…

ARLINGTON, Virginia, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit organization fighting for the health of all moms and babies, is pleased to announce March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement, a virtual awareness and fundraising campaign kicking off now to address the ongoing maternal and health crisis by engaging the public to raise critical funds in support of life-saving research, programs and educational initiatives.  As the country enters the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, March for Babies is now much more than a walk to primarily end preventable preterm birth, but a rally cry to inspire and unite communities everywhere to achieve health equity for moms and babies alike.

«We’ve long said that in order to provide the best possible start for babies, we must take care of moms, too.  A woman dies every 12 hours from pregnancy-related causes, and 1 in 10 babies is born too soon, which is why we’re also fighting to end preventable maternal health risks and deaths which are particularly devastating to underserved families of color,» said Stacey D. Stewart, President and CEO of March of Dimes.  «The health of moms and babies are intertwined and we welcome everyone to join this movement for change that will help us achieve real, measurable improvements. We embrace anyone who wants to do more for moms and babies—and not just today, but every day.»

The March of Dimes 2020 Report Card found that for the fifth year in a row, the U.S. preterm birth rate increased to 10.2 percent of births, earning the nation a «C-» grade. The statistics are worse for moms and babies of color—with the Report Card showing significant racial disparities that cut across maternal and infant health. Women of color are up to 50 percent more likely to give birth preterm and their children face up to a 130 percent higher infant death rate. Additionally, Black and American Indian/Alaskan Native women are up to three times more likely to die from pregnancy related complications compared to White women.

March for Babies will bring communities together virtually for a variety of team building activities and fundraising challenges. Together, participants will unite to honor motherhood, babies and families in addition to supporting the March of Dimes mission. Throughout the country, participants can donate individually or work as a team with their colleagues, family or friends to raise much-needed funds to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy for generations to come.

«After more than 50 years as the largest fundraiser for March of Dimes and the nation’s oldest charitable walk, we’re excited to see March for Babies elevate mothers – who are at the center of our mission – and grow into an even bigger movement that unites and connects us to fight for families who need us the most,» added Stewart.

Take the following steps today to support all moms and babies though March for Babies:

  1. Sign up to be part of the movement

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Colin Crawford, dean of the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville, is joining Golden Gate University School of Law as its 16th dean.

GGU President David Fike announced the hire to the university on February 18, and Dean Crawford will join the San Francisco school this summer.

«Dean Crawford is a very experienced and accomplished dean and legal scholar,» Fike said. «I’m delighted to be able to work with him to help GGU Law deepen our strong commitment to student learning, maintain the high quality and rich diversity of the school’s student body, and support the professional success of our graduates.»

Serving as dean at Louisville since 2018, Crawford improved the school’s academic profile each year, substantially increased philanthropic giving, and revamped admissions and student services to increase enrollment and support for racially diverse students. 

Before that, Crawford was the Robert C. Cudd Professor of Environmental Law at Tulane University Law School in New Orleans. He also directed the university’s multidisciplinary graduate and undergraduate Development Studies programs and taught undergraduate courses in the School of Liberal Arts.

Crawford said he was drawn to GGU after visiting the school last year while serving as a member of an American Bar Association accreditation team.

«I was positively impressed by and drawn to the mission of the school and the longstanding commitment of faculty, staff, and students to diversity, equity, and inclusion, including those for whom a law profession might otherwise be out of reach,» Crawford said.

«I am convinced that Dean Crawford is ideally suited to nurture our values and advance our goals in this vitally important area,» Fike said.

Crawford was selected «from among a pool of very talented, diverse, and qualified candidates,» said Professor Samuel Ernst, chair of the dean search committee, during a months-long process that engaged law school faculty, staff, and students.

«He assumes the leadership of GGU Law at an exciting time,» said Interim Dean Eric Christiansen. «Recent investments in the entering classes and pedagogical reform of the last few years are bearing exciting fruit in the launch of our JD Flex program and graduation of some of the most highly skilled classes in decades.»

Crawford is a prolific scholar in environmental, urban development, and land-use law. He also has experience with international programs, having developed and taught courses throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, served as the Project Director for the Environmental Law Capacity-Building Initiative in Central America funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, and published books and articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese, languages in which he is fluent. He has also lectured and taught in China, Cuba, France, Japan, Panama, and South Korea, and was a Fulbright scholar in the Dominican Republic.

He has a law degree from Harvard Law School and degrees in modern history from Cambridge and Columbia universities. He was admitted to practice law in the State of New York.

Located in San Francisco, Golden Gate University School of Law provides students with a solid foundation in legal theory and the skills necessary to be a successful practitioner. GGU Law has a special commitment to public interest law. In addition to a strong public interest law curriculum, the school offers financial assistance to students who pursue careers in public interest law, and our in-house clinics provide legal assistance to underrepresented populations. GGU students reflect a wide variety of ages, work experience, and cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. GGU’s 700 law students include working professionals and recent college graduates from more than 100 undergraduate and graduate institutions.

HOUSTON, 24 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El 2021 apenas empieza, y DIVERSITY in Ed ya está ejecutando la campaña de reclutamiento de docentes más grande hasta la fecha. El 1 de febrero, con motivo del Mes de la Historia Afroamericana, la editora de DIVERSITY in Ed, Trina Edwards, lanzó una ambiciosa campaña con el objetivo de conectar a 5,000 docentes de contextos y culturas diversas con comunidades de color en todo el país. Según Edwards, «Este objetivo es la forma en que cumplimos la misión, que compartimos con nuestros aliados a nivel nacional, de que todos los estudiantes de color cuenten con un maestro que se vea como ellos o comparta su contexto cultural único».

Diversity Recruitment Partners - DIVERSITY in Ed Online Teacher Recruitment Services include Print Magazine, Job Board & Virtual Recruitment Fairs

A la fecha, 179 líderes escolares y funcionarios de recursos humanos de todo el país se han unido a la campaña para reclutar y contratar docentes de grupos minoritarios. Algunos de los distritos más grandes y diversos del país, entre ellos el Departamento de Educación de NYC, Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Duval, Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Clark, Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Fairfax y Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Gwinnett, se han comprometido a reclutar y contratar en la 7.a Feria Anual Virtual de Reclutamiento de esta primavera, que se llevará a cabo el 14 de abril de 2021.

La feria contará con representación de escuelas y distritos tanto de estados del norte como del sur, igualmente de más de 20 escuelas públicas independientes que ya se han registrado. Según indica Edwards, tan solo en el espectro de reclutadores, que no se quieren perder la oportunidad de hacer su presentación para atraer el talento docente que requieren, ya hay diversidad.  Al describir su experiencia en la feria pop-up de DIVERSITY in Ed del otoño pasado, LaMeika Robinson, gerente de Adquisición de Talento de Columbus City Schools, expresó: «¡Quedé impresionada! Conocí candidatos a docentes a nivel local, nacional e INTERNACIONAL. Sin duda alguna, recomiendo esta feria a todos los distritos escolares del mundo». 

Si bien el evento DIVERSITY in Ed en modo virtual es perfecto para un escenario de pandemia en el que tanto los candidatos a docentes como los reclutadores buscan conectarse de forma segura para cubrir roles esenciales en las escuelas de nuestro país, este modelo ya estaba en marcha desde antes de estos tiempos sin precedentes, y los expertos en contratación diversa esperan que su 7.a feria de reclutamiento sea la más grande y la mejor hasta el momento. 

Para los reclutadores que están listos para empezar a seleccionar candidatos, Edwards y su equipo invitan a las escuelas y distritos a registrarse desde ya en la bolsa de empleo de DIVERSITY in Ed en https://www.diversityined.com. Los nuevos docentes, y los docentes a punto de graduarse y certificarse, pueden explorar empleos e inscribirse para asegurar su lugar y formar parte de este histórico esfuerzo de lograr un impacto significativo y ampliar la diversidad en la fuerza laboral educativa.

ENA, ACEP Applaud Bill to Address Health Care Workplace Violence

WASHINGTON and SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) praise the introduction of <a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON and SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) praise the introduction of Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act of 2021 which aims to better protect health care workers from the ongoing threat of workplace violence.

«Emergency nurses and physicians go to work every day driven by their commitment to caring for patients – they shouldn’t have to do so with fear of being violently attacked,» said ENA President Ron Kraus, MSN, RN, EMT, CEN, ACNS-BC, TCRN. «This legislation takes a positive step toward protecting the safety of all emergency health care providers.»

The problem has not subsided amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The No Silence on ED Violence campaign, organized by ENA and ACEP, continues to share stories of front-line health care workers who suffer physical and emotional injuries after workplace assaults.

«Violent incidents that put health workers at risk are on the rise,» said Mark Rosenberg, DO, MBA, FACEP, president of ACEP. «This bipartisan bill is a strong demonstration of congressional commitment to the safety of emergency physicians and others risking their lives on the frontlines. This bill is going to help strengthen workplace safety standards, enhance incident prevention, and allows our health care heroes to focus more on their mission to care for patients during the pandemic and beyond.»

ACEP and ENA thank Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) and the bipartisan coalition of original bill sponsors, including Rep. Robert C. «Bobby» Scott (D-VA), Chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC), Chairwoman of the House Education and Labor Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, Rep. Don Young (R-AK), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) for continuing to make workplace violence against health care workers a legislative priority.

ENA and ACEP have supported workplace violence-related bills introduced in previous sessions of Congress. Members from each association traveled to Capitol Hill in recent years to directly tell legislators their stories of attacks, injuries, and the aftermath caused by violence in the emergency department.

The associations launched No Silence on ED Violence in 2019 to build awareness around the issue of workplace violence, while also providing resources and a peer network to support emergency nurses and physicians.

About the Emergency Nurses Association
The Emergency Nurses Association is the premier professional nursing association dedicated to defining the future of emergency nursing through advocacy, education, research, innovation, and leadership. Founded in 1970, ENA has proven to be an indispensable resource to the global emergency nursing community. With more than 50,000 members worldwide, ENA advocates for patient safety, develops industry-leading practice standards and guidelines, and guides emergency healthcare public policy. ENA members have expertise in triage, patient care, disaster preparedness, and all aspects of emergency care. Additional information is available at www.ena.org.

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is the national medical society representing emergency medicine. Through continuing education, research, public education and advocacy, ACEP advances emergency care on behalf of its 40,000 emergency physician members, and the more than 150 million Americans they treat on an annual basis.
