FoodLogiQ to Provide Insight on Traceability at FDA’s “New Era of Smarter Food Safety” Public Meeting in Washington, DC

Leave a comment


“We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues from across the country as we rise to the challenge of ensuring safe food for all.” – Sean O’Leary, FoodLogiQ CEO


DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB)

Members of the senior leadership team from FoodLogiQ, the leading provider of food safety, traceability, and supply chain transparency software, will travel to Washington, DC, on Monday, October 21 to provide comment at the FDA Public Meeting “A New Era of Smarter Food Safety.” The highly-anticipated event kicks off an initiative that focuses on food traceability, digital technology and evolving food business models.

According to Dr. Norman (Ned) Sharpless, acting FDA Commissioner, “This new initiative is intended to build on FDA’s efforts to implement the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act by leveraging, among other things, the use of new and emerging technologies, as well as new approaches to some of the food system’s biggest food safety challenges.”

FoodLogiQ CEO Sean O’Leary will attend the FDA meeting, as well as Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Katy Jones, and Vice President of Supply Chain Strategy and Insights Julie McGill. During the open public comment portion of the program, McGill will speak on behalf of FoodLogiQ, sharing commentary on the topic of traceability. McGill is an industry expert on the subject, as she previously spent over 15 years with GS1 US. There she led the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative, working with manufacturers, distributors, operators and supply chain partners to increase efficiencies and build a foundation for traceability and supply chain visibility through the use of GS1 standards. McGill was recently selected as one of the “Five Food Logistics Champions You Need to Know” by Food Logistics Magazine.

“FoodLogiQ is honored to have the opportunity to share our intricate knowledge of the food supply chain, as well as best practices regarding whole chain traceability during this monumental meeting with the FDA and other food industry leaders,” says O’Leary. “Since 2006, FoodLogiQ has been developing solutions that meet the increasingly complex global food chain issues, and we look forward to collaborating with our colleagues from across the country as we rise to the challenge of ensuring safe food for all.”

End-to-end traceability—the ability to trace a product from its original source all the way to market—is the foundation for any comprehensive food safety program and a critical piece of the FDA’s efforts to bring increased attention to this global issue. With a 16-year history of traceability experience, FoodLogiQ dominates the food safety space and is perfectly poised to play a key role in the FDA’s new initiative.

The Agenda

More than 100 FDA experts representing the Office of Food Policy and Response, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the Office of Regulatory Affairs, the Center for Veterinary Medicine, and several individuals from the Office of the Commissioner participated in brainstorming sessions to determine the most critical topics for the meeting discussion. Those include:

Tech-enabled Traceability and Foodborne Outbreak Response

Smarter Tools and Approaches for Prevention

New Business Models and Retail Modernization

Food Safety Culture

The FDA’s goal for the meeting is to engage stakeholders and to foster a dialogue on how to most effectively prepare for the work that lies ahead as part of the New Era of Smarter Food Safety. In early 2020, FDA plans to release a blueprint that outlines critical steps to protect public health and keep pace with the ever-changing global food supply chain.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Scientists from around the world are gathering in Chicago to share their research, new ideas, and experience the best their field has to offer. PI engineers are on-hand to answer questions and propose precision motion solutions relating to life-science projects in industry and research.

Micro- and Nanopositioning Stages for Linear and Rotary Motion

PI is well-known for its piezo-based nanopositioning and scanning stages designed for super-resolution microscopy applications. Very compact precision positioning stages with long travel ranges are also offered – for example the L-505 motorized miniature precision linear stage and the U-628 miniature rotary table with ultrasonic-direct drive motor. These highly precise components are employed in a ground-breaking light-sheet microscope project pioneered by the Huisekn Lab at the Morgridge Institute for Research in Madison, WI. Key factors are the compact design, reliability, high precision, and speed of the motion modules. Prior to this project, 2 complete systems had to be used to achieve Light Sheet Florescence Microscopy (LSFM). This new modular microscope illuminates and detects samples by employing two separate optical systems and will be easy to transport, eliminating shipping of sensitive samples.

Dr. Cristobal Valdez, President of Richland Community College, accepting the Gold award for Excellence in Academic Partnerships

Dr. Cristobal Valdez, President of Richland Community College, accepting the Gold award for Excellence in Academic Partnerships

On a daily basis, we see the positive effects of working on institutional culture. It is what has improved employee satisfaction, student success, retention and completion and has made Richland a strong community partner and attracts exceptional employees to continue the effort.


TEMECULA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Partners In Leadership, LLC, the firm that guides clients in defining Key Results™, shaping Cultural Beliefs®, and solving Accountability Gaps, and that is now introducing cutting-edge digital, learning, and leadership tools, proudly announces they received the Gold Award in the Excellence in Academic Partnerships category in Chief Learning Officer magazine’s CLO 2019 Learning In Practice Awards.

The Learning In Practice Awards’ Excellence in Academic Partnerships category recognizes accredited academic learning institutions that have partnered with an organization in the past year to develop skills, competency or knowledge in a general employee population. The work and results that have emerged from the consulting firm’s partnership with Richland Community College is what won this national recognition.

“Shortly after my arrival at Richland, we began to work with Partners In Leadership to create the culture we desired as a campus community,” said Dr. Cristobal Valdez, President of Richland Community College. “This award is just one recognition of this essential work. On a daily basis, we see the positive effects of working on institutional culture. It is what has improved employee satisfaction, student success, retention and completion and has made Richland a strong community partner and attracts exceptional employees to continue the effort.”

Dr. Valdez saw the challenges that were hindering the institution’s capability of operating to full potential, including economic instability, declining student retention and enrollment, and low levels of trust and communication. Richland started its work with Partners In Leadership in 2017, utilizing the Accountability Builder® program’s workshops and assessments to break down silos and achieve the institution’s three Key Results within three years.

In less than two years, Richland has already met their Key Results:


  • Trust – focusing on an increase in perception of a positive campus culture – from 46% to 76% or an increase of 65%

  • Grow – enrollment grow of nearly 15% this fall and over 20% this past summer, the highest institutional enrollment since 2016. Contributing to this enrollment growth was a 57% increase in next term student retention and 370% increase in Fall to Fall student retention

  • Thrive – 25% reserve and a 2% positive operating margin, the strongest financial position the College has been in for 7 years

“We are thrilled for Dr. Valdez and Richland Community College,” said Mattson Newell, Senior Partner at Partners In Leadership. “In a day and age where the importance of organizational culture is constantly discussed, but doesn’t always translate to actions, Dr. Valdez and his leadership team have led by example and helped the entire organization champion Partners In Leadership’s process to create a Culture of Accountability to deliver their results. We are honored to continue our partnership with them and are excited to see their continued success.”

The 2019-20 Dig Pink Challenge powered by All Volleyball

Leave a comment



ST. LOUIS, Mo. (PRWEB)

The Dig Pink Challenge Powered by All Volleyball is a fundraising event that brings breast cancer awareness and volleyball together. The goal is to bring the volleyball community together in fun-filled ways to raise funds for The Side-Out Foundation. Side-Out is the only organization that uses volleyball to raise money for stage IV metastatic breast cancer research, which is the least funded and deadliest form of the disease.

From its beginning 5 years ago, the Dig Pink Challenge has traditionally featured a local volleyball match showcasing the defending Missouri state champions against an opponent of their choosing. These events have been filled with fundraising opportunities alongside some great competition on the court. Games with prizes, 50/50 raffles, silent auctions, raffle baskets and more all raised money for the Side-Out Foundation.

In 2018, All Volleyball expanded slightly outside of the St. Louis area and partnered with 8 schools from across the nation. Each school held its own Dig Pink campaign and donated all proceeds to The Side-Out Foundation. All Volleyball knows how hard it can be to start a fundraiser for the first time, so they matched up to $500 in each school’s campaign. It was an encouraging experience for the teams they partnered with, many who plan to work with the Side-Out Foundation in the future.

After last year’s success, All Volleyball is expanding the 2019-2020 Dig Pink Challenge. With a longer timeframe, more teams and more locations, All Volleyball hopes to achieve the ultimate goal of fostering Side-Out’s mission. This year’s application window will expand to include girls high school, girls club and boys high school volleyball seasons. Due to the increased interest of the Dig Pink Challenge and the All Volleyball’s commitment to serving their customers, participating teams must be current or new customers of All Volleyball. Once selected, each team will get their own online campaign page, access to All Volleyball and Side-Out staff for guidance and a monetary match up to $500 from All Volleyball when they finish fundraising.

In 5 years, the Dig Pink Challenge has raised over $100,000 for breast cancer research while introducing dozens of teams to the Side-Out Foundation. With the potential to add 30 more teams to that list, this could be the most successful year yet. Beyond the success and excitement around the program, the true meaning of why All Volleyball chooses to serve remains the same: to bring hope and support to those and their families affected by stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

More About All Volleyball Inc.

All Volleyball, Inc. is proud to be the trusted industry expert since 1995. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, this volleyball retailer and team dealer has always had a passion for helping others and solving problems on and off the volleyball court. All Volleyball Serves is the philanthropic extension of the company responsible for heading up efforts like the Dig Pink Challenge.

More About The Side-Out Foundation

The Side-Out Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Fairfax, Virginia that harnesses the power of volleyball players to host Dig Pink volleyball initiatives that raise money for critical research of late-stage metastatic breast cancer – the least funded form of breast cancer research. Over the years, Side-Out has raised more than $14 million for research on the disease, has completed two successful clinical trials using Side-Out’s individualized treatment protocols and is currently in the midst of a third trial, its largest yet.

Sound Income Strategies Announces The Official Launch of The Retirement Income Store® Website—Where Retirees Go for Income

Leave a comment


News Image


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (PRWEB)

Sound Income Strategies, LLC, a full-service financial firm dedicated to helping individuals and families meet their immediate and long-term financial objectives, has launched The Retirement Income Store® website.

The Retirement Income Store®, powered by Sound Income Strategies, is a virtual store where individuals can go to find a local Income Specialist, who can help them reduce their exposure to stock market risk and help them generate ongoing streams of income for retirement.

Founded in January of 2015, Sound Income Strategies (SIS) recently celebrated reaching $1 billion in Assets Under Management. SIS is made up of experienced investment management specialists, who actively manage their clients’ portfolios with the goal of maximizing income first and opportunities for growth second.

Although Sound Income Strategies and The Retirement Income Store® work with a wide range of clients nationwide, they specialize in helping those who are in or near retirement.

Their founder, David Scranton, has become known during his 30 years in the industry as an advisor who is particularly protective of his clients’ assets. For the past 20 years, he has specialized in the universe of income-generating savings and investment strategies.

David says: “The sad reality is that trusting a typical stock market-based financial advisor to handle your retirement future can be somewhat of a gamble … and who wants to gamble with their retirement future? Fortunately, there is another way—Investing for Income. By focusing primarily on non-stock market, income-generating investment options, you could better protect your savings from stock market risk, so you can use your savings to establish renewable streams of income you can count on well into retirement.”

David is regularly sought out to share his insights on the financial markets on networks like CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business.

In 2016, David Scranton started his own TV show, The Income Generation, which airs weekly on Newsmax TV. Broadcast to over 70 million households nationwide every Sunday at 10 AM, the show tackles the issues that are most important to those who are retired, or within 10 to 15 years of retirement.

David Scranton has written three books. In 2011, he wrote and self-published Stop the Financial Insanity: How to Keep Wall Street’s Cancer from Spreading to Your Portfolio. In 2016, David became an Amazon Bestselling Author with his second book, Return on Principle: 7 Core Values to Help Protect Your Money in Good Times and Bad. Now, David has just completed his third book, The Retirement Income Stor-E: The Story behind the Launch of The Retirement Income Store—published by Advisors’ Academy Press, October 15, 2019, and distributed by Simon & Schuster, part of the CBS Corporation.

Steve Forbes, Publishing Executive and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Magazine, and a repeat guest on The Income Generation Show, had this to say about David’s second book, Return on Principle:, “Armed with insights gained from a lifetime of study of stocks and investment alternatives, David Scranton offers perspectives investors should not ignore in these turbulent times where so many of the ‘old rules’ are being obliterated.”

“David is an important thought leader; always worth the read,” says Peter Morici, recognized professor on economic policy and International Business Professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, at the University of Maryland.

About Sound Income Strategies: Sound Income Strategies is a Registered Investment Advisory firm specializing in active management of individual fixed-income securities. With specialized management style and experience, the firm focuses on maximizing the value of their clients’ fixed-income portfolios, and then building retirement plans that deliver consistent income, growth potential, and – most importantly – defense against damaging losses.

As a Registered Investment Advisory firm, Sound Income Strategies diligently honors their fiduciary responsibility as spelled out in the US Investment Advisors Act of 1940. Their goal is to always act and serve in the best interest of their clients.

About the Retirement Income Store®—Launched in January of 2019, The Retirement Income Store® is a subsidiary of Sound Income Strategies. The Retirement Income Store® is comprised of a national network of Income Specialists who actively manage their clients’ portfolios with the goal of maximizing income first and opportunities for growth second.
