Kanuga Hosts Environmental Justice Conference this Spring


Kanuga in Hendersonville, NC

Kanuga in Hendersonville, NC, hosts Elevate: Creation Care and Environmental Justice Conference, March 13-15.

“The Elevate Conference is a call to Episcopalians and other faith communities to take action. As people of faith, we were created to be intimately involved and caring over creation in a relational and loving way,” says Richmond Jones, Kanuga’s Director of Formation Programs.

This spring, Kanuga hosts Elevate: Creation Care and Environmental Justice Conference from March 13 to March 15. Surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the conference is designed for those eager to honor their roles as stewards of creation.

“The Elevate Conference is a call to Episcopalians and other faith communities to take action in the environmental movement. As people of faith, we were created to be intimately involved and caring over creation in a relational and loving way,” says Richmond Jones, Kanuga’s Director of Formation Programs.    

The event is hosted in collaboration with The Episcopal Church Task Force for Care of Creation and Environmental Racism, Sewanee School of Theology, Episcopal Public Policy Network (EPPN), Episcopal Relief & Development, Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina, and Episcopal Office of Government Relations.

Featured presenters include Rev. Melanie Mullen, the Episcopal Church’s Director of Reconciliation, Justice & Creation Care; Michele L. Roberts, Coming Clean Inc. Director of Outreach and Co-Coordinator of the Environmental Justice Health Alliance; and Dr. Andrew Thompson, assistant professor of theological ethics, director of the Sewanee Ministry Collaborative, and director of the Alternative Clergy Training at Sewanee (ACTS) Program.

The conference offers participants a chance to interact with experts involved in environmental justice and creation care. The event includes panel discussions, worship services, nature hikes, group forums, and volunteer opportunities. Sessions are designed to equip guests with the tools necessary to positively impact their church and community.

The Elevate Conference was created as a way to respond to current issues affecting communities around the world. “Environmental issues like climate change and land use are absolutely urgent matters for people of faith today,” says Andrew R. H. Thompson, Ph.D., director of the Sewanee Ministry Collaborative and director of the Alternative Clergy Training at Sewanee (ACTS) Program. “They are intimately connected to other issues of vital concern for faith communities such as racism, poverty, and social justice. That’s why Kanuga’s Elevate: Creation Care and Environmental Justice conference is so timely and important.”

PITAKA (ipitaka.com), the leader in high tech material-based consumer technology accessories, introduced the Air Omni today at CES, the world’s first MFi Certified 6-in-1 wireless nightstand charger and device organizer, equipped with a convertible Lightning / USB-C tablet charger, standard USB type-A and USB-C side ports, and a hidden storage drawer.

The Air Omni supports charging for a mix of up to six iOS and Android devices, including smartphones, a smartwatch, wireless earbuds, a tablet, and any other MFi, USB-A, USB-C, or Lightning enabled device.

“At PITAKA, our focus is to bring harmony to the technical universe,” said James Cheng, founder of PITAKA. “Our aim is to transform daily life with innovative, high quality products that can simplify the technology that surrounds us.

“By combining inventive designs with the finest materials, infused with the philosophy of a seamless experience, we have crafted an interconnected product line to make life easier, more convenient, and aesthetically pleasing, creating a lifestyle within the technology universe.”

PITAKA, known for bringing high tech materials to the consumer technology space, spent years developing its MagEZ series, a magnetic ecosystem, which provides a seamless carrying, organizational, and wireless charging experience for home, office, and auto.

Today, the MagEZ series is well built out with phone cases; MagEZ Case and MagEZ Case Pro, chargers and desktop organizers; MagEZ Juice, MagEZ Mount Qi Desktop, MagEZ Mount Qi, MagEZ Bar, and magnetic wallets; MagEZ Wallet and MagEZ Wallet UE.

At the core of PITAKA’s style and technology for both its MagEZ and Air Series is Aramid Fiber, a class of synthetic lightweight fiber with exceptional strength and durability. It has a look similar to carbon fiber, but a chemical makeup in the same family as Kevlar, the material used in bulletproof vests, which is less brittle and offers a greater degree of protection.

With Aramid as a primary construction material, PITAKA is able to make the thinnest phone cases on the market – as thin as a piece of paper – offering all of the protection, without the bulk, and a consistent style and feel across all of its products.

Edison Partners Promotes Kelly Ford to a General Partner


Kelly is a constant force of positive motion, an essential asset to our companies and our firm. This promotion to General Partner sets a great example for our next generation of leaders.

Edison Partners, the growth equity investment firm, has promoted Kelly Ford to General Partner. This promotion recognizes Ford’s contributions in shaping the firm’s differentiated approach to growth-stage investing, value creation, and her track record with enterprise software and fintech companies.

“Kelly has brought a number of critical firsts to Edison Partners. She was our first operating partner. She brought the Edison Edge operating platform to life and ushered in our uniquely integrated approach to growth-stage investing—where operators and investors work as one team to deliver more than capital to our portfolio companies. She established our Center of Excellence for Sales & Marketing, and is also the creator of the Edison Growth Index, a proprietary study on the key characteristics of fast-growing technology companies,” said Chris Sugden, Managing Partner, Edison Partners.

In 2014, Ford joined Edison after spending 20 years working inside high-growth B2B software companies. As Partner, she pioneered the Edison Edge operating platform, a catalyst for the firm’s team-based approach that brings both investing and operating expertise to every investment. Ford has worked with more than 55 portfolio companies, has served on the boards of seven companies, and has completed three successful exits.

“Kelly possesses both the empathy and ‘whatever it takes’ attitude that entrepreneurs value,” added Sugden. “She is a constant force of positive motion, an essential asset to our companies and our firm. This promotion to General Partner sets a great example for our next generation of leaders.”

Ford is currently on the board of directors for Blue Medora, ExecVision, Kinetiq and Suuchi. Other active investments include Bento for Business, Emplify, LawnStarter and Terminus. In the year ahead, Ford will focus on fintech investing, where Edison is already an industry leader. She led Edison’s recent exit of New Jersey-based accounts receivables automation provider Billtrust for an 11X return and remains an independent board member for the fintech company.

“I am lucky to be surrounded by a diverse team of successful investors, tenacious entrepreneurs and leadership teams, and highly supportive Limited Partners. It’s a privilege and an exciting time to do what we do,” said Kelly Ford, General Partner, Edison Partners. “The year ahead presents immense opportunity for the private capital and fintech industries. Growth equity is taking center stage and receiving its due as an asset class. Fintech businesses are maturing as both critical ingredients and platforms. I am thankful to our team at Edison for this recognition and look forward to further advancing our growth equity platform to harness these market opportunities.”

With Ford’s promotion, the firm now has six General Partners, including Sugden, Michael Kopelman, Lenard Marcus, Tom Vander Schaaff, and Ryan Ziegler.

Her full bio, portfolio of investments, and thought leadership are available here.

GameAbove Donates $1 Million to Eastern Michigan University’s New Student-Athlete Performance Center

The new training facility is a wonderful and much-needed addition.

GameAbove, a group of dedicated Eastern Michigan University alumni with various academic and professional backgrounds, continues to support all aspects of the institution with a recent $1 million contribution to the new Student-Athlete Performance Center.

The contribution was made in honor of the late Brian Clouse, a standout offensive lineman for the EMU football team in the 1980s and longtime member of the greater Ypslianti community who passed away in June 2019. The main entrance of the new athletic center is called the Clouse Family Atrium, a 1,288-square-foot welcome room that displays the championship success of Eastern Michigan athletics throughout its history, including the 1987 conference championship season and California Bowl win during Brian’s final year of college football. The new Center also includes the Brian Clouse Players’ Lounge, a space that allows football student-athletes to study, and bond with teammates.

“GameAbove is proud to join the many supporters who have provided funding and continue to contribute to the outstanding athletic program at Eastern Michigan. The new training facility is a wonderful and much-needed addition,” said Denis Wolcott, spokesperson for GameAbove. “We’re especially pleased to recognize Brian, who was a very giving, unselfish and gentle individual as well as an outstanding college athlete.”

“Brian was a loving and caring father, husband, son and brother who touched family and friends in many positive ways. His is a legacy of compassion, support and giving back to his community. We know this honor will serve his memory and legacy for future generations,” said Brian’s wife, Jill.

The Student-Athlete Performance Center, which debuted last August, is a 63,000-square-foot, two-story structure that houses the sports medicine, performance and equipment operations areas. Additionally, the facility has locker rooms, coaches’ offices, and meeting spaces for the football team, while also including a new video board inside Rynearson Stadium.

“Eastern Michigan University wants to thank GameAbove and the many other private donors who have contributed to this very advanced and well-designed student-athlete training facility,” said EMU Vice President/Director of Athletics Scott Wetherbee. “Honoring Brian with this gift leaves a lasting highlight to an outstanding college football player and a reminder to future athletes about the importance of character and giving back to your community.”

Over the past few months, GameAbove has donated more than $12.5 million to academic, athletic and supportive programs at Eastern Michigan University. Previously announced gifts of $3.5 million to EMU include the “GameAbove, Faculty First” initiative to support faculty development and the “Student Matters Most” grant to assist the academic and program needs of current and future students. The student initiatve focuses on providing financial resources for learning clubs, intramural sports, student government and student organization priorities, as well as solutions for student homelessness and housing insecurity, among other near-term needs.

“This solution helps companies achieve the scalability, security, flexible consumption and system management they need. Astute provides a fully managed cloud experience as an alternative to the conventional on-premise solution.” said, Arvind Rajan, CEO, and Co-Founder of Astute Business Solutions.

Today, Astute Business Solutions announces an industry-first Zero Cost Migration Service of PeopleSoft applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Astute is a leading provider of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle Analytics Cloud, Oracle Digital Assistant/Chatbot Services and Solutions and is a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). With its unique Selective Adoption as a Service Managed Service offering, Astute is helping customers modernize and optimize their ERP on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and in extending Oracle’s PaaS services such as Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Digital Assistant, Oracle Integration Cloud, and Oracle Management Cloud.

Most organizations see the value and benefit of Cloud, however, with limited budgets and complex customized environments they are reluctant to make the move. Astute’s limited-time offer to migrate PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud, with no upfront fees or hidden costs addresses the most common migration challenge thereby enabling organizations to quickly and easily transition to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with an Oracle Cloud partner that has the more PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud migrations completed than any other partner. Decreasing migration times by more than 60%, Astute can now confidently commit to a fixed-fee migration project that comes in on-time, with a high-quality move, and minimal impact to the business.

An important component of the Zero Cost PeopleSoft Migration to Oracle Cloud offer is an Astute Managed Cloud Services agreement that mitigates other cloud migration risks such as implementing cloud security and management of virtualized cloud infrastructure. Astute provides organizations with a deep bench of PeopleSoft practitioners that are skilled at every level of the application from server administration to functional module management, all under a solid service level agreement.

“Having performed more PeopleSoft move and improve to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) projects than any other Oracle partner, Astute Business Solutions has mastered the process and wrote the book on how to best get your PeopleSoft running on Oracle’s Cloud. We’re so confident in our move process and maintenance methodologies, that if you will let us manage your PeopleSoft infrastructure as a service on OCI, we will perform the lift to cloud project for free.” said, Joe Finlinson, CTO of Astute Business Solutions.

“As more enterprises incorporate cloud technology in their IT environments, interest has grown for cloudlike approaches to on-premise infrastructure. This solution helps companies achieve the scalability, security, flexible consumption and system management they need. Applying over 16 years of operational expertise in PeopleSoft, Astute provides a fully managed cloud experience as an alternative to the conventional on-premise solution.” said, Arvind Rajan, CEO, and Co-Founder of Astute Business Solutions.
