SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Surety One, Inc. has entered into an agreement with the Madison Energy Group, LLC to provide commercial crime insurance products to Madison’s national network of technicians and installers. The program is a deployment of Surety One, Inc.’s specialty third party fidelity bond coverage.

There is often exclusionary language in commercial crime coverage forms that leave an insured exposed to «on client’s premises» risks unless specifically endorsed. A third-party fidelity bond addresses the on-premises peril inherent in certain business activities. Madison’s technicians install, configure and adjust proprietary energy products on clients’ business premises. Initial and follow-up visits to fine-tune equipment create repeat exposures to Madison which are addressed by the fidelity bond.

Says Constantin Poindexter, CEO of Surety One, Inc., «Madison’s President, William Geist approached me with his concerns about protecting his clients and his enterprise’s reputation given the exposures created by independent on-site technicians. I created this program to address a gaping hole that he had in his current insurance suite. I am pleased to enter into a strategic relationship with a guy that is on the forefront of cleaner, more efficient energy delivery. Mr. Geist is also deeply involved in charitable causes that I also support. Our friendship and business relationship are valuable to me so supporting his efforts are a big win for the Surety One, Inc. Team and I.»

The Madison Energy Group, LLC is a national leader in the energy sector. Says Geist, «Madison was founded and built with a focus on affordable, effective technology that carries the best value in the industry. Our objective is to provide clients with a sound energy investment that will help them achieve efficiency and profitability while also contributing to the well-being of the environment. Due to our significant growth we’ve expanded our network of techs and installers and thus need to increase the protections that we provide clients.»

Surety One, Inc. is an international insurance intermediary domiciled in Puerto Rico, distributing surety and fidelity bond products nationally, in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada. The firm delivers on a broad geographic footprint with a local feel. For more information on the third party fidelity bond program or any surety bond need visit https://SuretyOne.com.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Announces Bold Plan to Address Health Inequities and Racial Justice

BOSTON, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts («Blue Cross») today announced a set of bold initiatives to address health inequities and racial injustice.

The multipart plan features new charitable investments, including a grant program to support not-for-profits led by Black, Indigenous and other people of color, a first-to-market approach to collecting race and ethnicity data to address inequities in the care members receive, expanding marketing efforts to better reach a more diverse audience with critical messages focused on addressing gaps in care and improving overall health, and new investments and support for minority-owned businesses.

«As a community and a country, we are facing twin pandemics of both coronavirus and racism. Those of us in health care have a responsibility to address both. And just as we acted swiftly to respond to COVID-19, we are deepening our commitment to racial justice and to addressing long-standing inequities in health care,» said Andrew Dreyfus, president and CEO. «We will continue to be a leader in creating a more equitable health care system.»

The comprehensive plan announced today builds on decades of work by Blue Cross and its Foundation to address inequities in care and to advance racial and social justice.

Charitable investments

The new $350,000 Racial Equity and Justice Grants announced today will support BIPOC-led not-for-profit organizations focused on addressing racial injustice in Massachusetts communities. Blue Cross has awarded six organizations with a two-year grant, providing $25,000 in general operating support per year, and two organizations with a one-year, $25,000 grant. Grantees also will have the opportunity to receive in pro-bono support.

The program builds on Blue Cross’ existing investments, such as a recent $1 million contribution to the New Commonwealth Fund for Racial Equity and Social Justice Fund created last year by local Black and Brown executives, including Blue Cross Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Stephanie Lovell and Blue Cross Board members Quincy Miller, president of Eastern Bank, and Corey Thomas, CEO of Rapid7.

The company will continue to provide additional direct financial support via charitable investments to a wide range of organizations working to advance racial equity and social justice.

Addressing inequities in health care

Decades of research have shown people of color, in particular Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous Americans, have less access to high-quality treatment and experience poorer outcomes for a wide range of medical conditions – including COVID-19.

Blue Cross’ work to address these inequities includes convening an advisory council of leading local and national experts in health inequities to help guide and shape Blue Cross’ strategy from a broad range of perspectives.

Additionally, Blue Cross is:

Collecting comprehensive, member-level race and ethnicity data that can be used to collaborate with the community and clinical partners to reduce racial and ethnic inequities.
Blue Cross is the first health plan in the region to undertake this comprehensive effort.
Creating metrics and programs to address racial inequities in health care access and quality, including measures of service provided by Blue Cross directly to our members
Educating employees on the impact of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors on Blue Cross members, and effectively using this information in day-to-day interactions both internally and externally.
Reviewing existing contracts with vendors to assess their programs for detecting and addressing health inequities (e.g., in their algorithms and care management services) and incorporating such questions in future vendor assessment and RFPs.
Evolving the company’s current Diversity, Equity & Inclusion governance structure to include health equity issues, and publishing – company-wide – an enhanced scorecard that measures progress against other best-in-class companies to ensure accountability and transparency.

Standing for equity in our communities

The company is also:

Partnering with the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Pacesetters Program to support a collaborative initiative to promote minority-owned businesses.
Becoming the first company to make a public pledge to support the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council’s new campaign for minority supplier development.
Asking BCBSMA vendors to maintain a percentage of their business with diverse suppliers and to share related data.

An inclusive company culture

The most successful companies are the most diverse, inclusive, and innovative. Blue Cross regards diversity and inclusion at Blue Cross as central to the culture and values at the company. At Blue Cross, diversity isn’t just about representation of people from different backgrounds, although that’s critically important; it’s also about ensuring the entire workforce feels respected, included, and empowered to contribute. 72% of Blue Cross employees are women, and more than 50% of the board of directors are people of color or women.

New initiatives include:

Further educating Blue Cross leaders about their responsibilities in building an inclusive organization, understanding and eliminating bias in hiring decisions, and best management practices; these initiatives will be incorporated into internal performance metrics.
Cultivating diverse candidate pools and increasing the development, promotion, and retention of people of color in leadership and at other levels
Broadening cultural competency education for all employees to enhance awareness of unconscious bias and micro-aggressions
Adding Juneteenth to the corporate holiday calendar beginning in 2021

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation also is making racial inequities in health care one of its three focus areas, along with access to care and mental health. The Foundation will work with its partners to identify policies that present barriers to equitable access to health care and coverage for people of color, and to diversify the workforce and leadership of health care organizations. In addition, the Foundation has launched seven focus groups across the Commonwealth to discuss with BIPOC-led organizations what they see as the solutions to structural racism and racial inequities in health care.

Dealertrack DMS Fully Integrated Solutions Help Dealerships Optimize Operations

DRAPER, Utah, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dealertrack DMS, a leading provider of cloud-based technology solutions for car dealerships, announces new integrations geared toward helping dealerships achieve higher efficiency and productivity in today’s digital-first environment at the Cox Automotive Experience and NADA 2021. 2020 proved to be a year of significant change in which dealerships had to pivot to meet evolving expectations of service customers, buyers and team members. This transformation also required retailers to address the operational complexities of the day —approximately 75% of franchise dealerships were switching to digital sales operations according to the Cox Automotive Sentiment Survey— and this doesn’t appear to be slowing down in 2021.

«In these uncertain times, dealerships are more dependent on digital solutions than ever. The need to optimize their technology integrations to prepare for the future, eliminate inefficiencies and ensure their teams have the support they need is at an all-time high,» said Tracy Fred, vice president of operations for Cox Automotive brands VinSolutions, Xtime and Dealertrack DMS.

«Today, the average dealership uses approximately seven software integrations simply to complete a sale.

By bringing together otherwise disconnected or stand-alone solutions into a single service, dealerships with Dealertrack DMS can help eliminate frustration and inefficiencies within the payroll and HR management processes, thereby improving retention and reducing employee turnover.

«As a centralized accounting office for multiple dealerships, we rely on fast, easy information from the outlying departments to produce payroll,» said Neal Jackson, controller at Lawley Automotive Group in Sierra Vista, Arizona. «I’ve been doing this since 1993, so whenever there are new solutions like Integrated Payroll, powered by Netchex, I’m eager to give it a try. Pretty much anything I put into Netchex, data-wise, I can get out through a report. With Netchex, I no longer need to do manual time-consuming tasks. It is a huge time saver for me.»

Additional details can be found in the Company’s announcement press release issued in October. Fourth Wave is projecting the transaction will close in the first quarter of this year.

The company plans to manufacture, market and distribute worldwide solar tile roofs designed by DeSol Power Tiles. The DeSol solar roof system integrates design and functionality. The patented system uses roof tiles, not solar panels, as to not affect the aesthetic or architectural appeal of a roof. With a simple, flat design, based on the classic Nordic style, DeSol roof tiles will complement the home with a completely sealed, walkable surface that covers the entire roof. Currently manufactured in the US, DeSol solar roof tiles provide a beautiful solution with a performance guaranteed for 30 years.

The equity line is subject to approval of an S1 filing with the SEC. Tysadco Partners llc will bridge the company with four hundred thousand dollars in equity financing under a bridge loan in conjunction with the equity line. Fourth Wave Energy has raised an additional three hundred thousand dollars via fixed price convertible notes. This additional capital will be used to meet the requirements set forth in our current LOI with DelSol Power Tiles.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Company’s securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.
