AWC Welcomes Jackson Morrill as New President & CEO


Jackson Morrill, AWC

Jackson Morrill joins the American Wood Council as President & CEO on September 16.

The structural wood products industry is poised for growth. I believe in this industry and am passionate about what it represents as a sustainable building material.

The American Wood Council (AWC) will welcome Jackson Morrill, President of the Composite Panel Association (CPA), as AWC’s new President & CEO on September 16. He is succeeding Robert Glowinski, who is retiring at the end of the year after over 41 years with the wood products industry’s associations and the last 10 years spent as AWC’s President & CEO.

“The structural wood products industry is poised for growth. I believe in this industry and am passionate about what it represents as a sustainable building material,” Morrill said. “Additionally, I am fortunate to be coming into an organization that has an excellent track record and staff, and strong, sustained leadership from the current President & CEO Robert Glowinski. I look forward to continuing Bob’s legacy in advancing the industry, especially in looking for opportunities in new markets, such as those made available through AWC’s remarkable efforts in support of tall mass timber construction.”

Jackson comes to AWC with over 20 years of experience working on environmental, sustainability, industry standards and testing, and other issues, as a lawyer and trade association representative. Prior to CPA, he worked at the American Chemistry Council, practiced environmental law at a Beveridge & Diamond, and served as an environmental law consultant at the World Bank. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Tulane Law School and is admitted to the Maryland and District of Columbia bars.

“Jackson’s background shows him to be an outstanding choice to lead the industry and further leverage the unique aspects of wood products. Our selection committee was equally impressed by his demonstrated leadership, demeanor and outlook. AWC and CPA have worked together on a number of issues over the years, which gives him additional insight into AWC’s program focus on building and fire code development, legislative and regulatory advocacy, education and strategic communications. We are very excited to have him come in and lead the association to its next level of excellence,” said LP Building Solutions Executive Vice President and AWC Board Chair Neil Sherman. “And I can confidently speak for all of AWC’s membership in thanking Bob for working tirelessly for many years on behalf of the industry. He was the association’s first President & CEO, and it’s under his leadership that a fledgling association has truly grown to be the voice of the wood products industry.”

###

The American Wood Council (AWC) is the voice of North American wood products manufacturing, an industry that provides almost 450,000 men and women in the United States with family-wage jobs. AWC represents 86 percent of the structural wood products industry, and members make products that are essential to everyday life from a renewable resource that absorbs and sequesters carbon. Staff experts develop state-of-the-art engineering data, technology, and standards for wood products to assure their safe and efficient design, as well as provide information on wood design, green building, and environmental regulations. AWC also advocates for balanced government policies that affect wood products.

CourseTune Announces Charlie Robinson as Vice President of Sales


CourseTune, a first-of-its-kind curriculum blueprinting and learning design collaboration tool, today announced that it has named Charlie Robinson Vice President of Sales.

Robinson has nearly 30 years of experience in curriculum, professional development, learning management systems, and emerging technology in education. He has worked with and served educational leaders at the National, State, University and School District levels to help implement programs that specifically benefit underprivileged students as well as train teachers around the globe.

“We are excited to welcome Charlie to the leadership team at CourseTune. He understands the problems CourseTune is solving from a lifelong learning perspective, which is important to us and our mission,” remarked Diane Weaver, Co-Founder and COO. “At this unprecedented time, school districts, colleges and universities need to address curriculum and assessment alignment through student-centered course and program design more than ever before. Charlie is essential to magnifying CourseTune’s efforts in this important work.”

Robinson is one of many 2020 hires for CourseTune in response to the increased need to identify and eliminate course bloat and alignment gaps at-a-glance, across a course, program/grade level, division, and institution.

“With the COVID-19 pandemic came the need to pivot online quickly. We saw individual instructors come out of the woodwork wanting access to CourseTune, so we launched CoursePlan for individual instructor use. The launch timing was coordinated with QM’s Bridge to Quality Course Design in early June,” Weaver continued. “But this is just the beginning of the systemic restructuring all of education now faces. We are here to help, with the instructional alignment efforts at scale.”

Robinson agrees about the opportunity for schools to regroup and rethink their learning outcomes. “In order for an organization to improve the learning journey, they first need to see it. CourseTune’s visual modeling is unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” Robinson said. “The insights into how the learning is structured is a game changer for any school district or university that implements the technology platform and training services.”

CourseTune for teams and CoursePlan for individuals, helps educators identify course bloat and alignment gaps at-a-glance for both new and existing courses and programs. The software provides a comprehensive view of course objectives, learning objectives, learning activities, and assessments with design capabilities for a multitude of formats; online, remote, face-to-face, Hyflex, and blended.

Mode Analytics Partners with Snowflake to Create Modern Data Analytics Stack


Logo for Mode Analytics

Mode’s in-memory data engine, Helix, offers unprecedented speed in combination with Snowflake’s vast data platform capabilities

“Our partnership with Mode enables data scientists to have access to a wide breadth of data without sacrificing speed,” said Tarik Dwiek, Director of Technology Alliances at Snowflake.

Mode Analytics, the leader in interactive data science and collaborative business intelligence, today announced that it has partnered with Snowflake, the cloud data platform, to create a modern data analytics stack. The partnership will combine Mode’s in-memory data engine, Helix, with Snowflake’s vast data platform capabilities to enable data and business teams to execute queries and perform analysis with unprecedented speed. The two companies already have a long list of mutual customers who benefit from the partnership, including Zillow, Imperfect Foods, and many others.

As competition and volatility increase in the business environment, companies are investing more in strategic analysis and advanced data science solutions than business-as-usual dashboards and BI reporting. Today, data scientists often work across two different tracks: 1) Answering strategic ad-hoc questions with focused reports, and 2) Building BI reports and dashboards that provide stakeholders with a wide breadth of exploratory coverage. Until the launch of Mode’s Helix engine, data teams had to choose different tools for these tracks, trading off speed and depth for coverage and breadth. In both cases, they also had to predict their customers’ questions by anticipating follow-on questions or preempting the business’ future needs by building a time-consuming, untested reporting suite.

Speed and Breadth Combined

Mode Analytics combines the best elements of Analytics & Business Intelligence (ABI) and Data Science (DS) to empower data teams to answer impactful questions and collaborate on analysis across a range of business functions. Mode’s Helix engine is a high-performance, in-memory database designed to filter, aggregate, and manipulate query results with sub-second latency. Mode streams every completed query result into Helix, automatically. And once loaded, users are able to visualize the data in charts or tables. By offloading data processing from a customer’s data warehouse into a data engine designed for filtering and aggregating, Mode can deliver results faster and at a lower cost than a warehouse alone. Helix enables interactive processing on multiple terabyte scale datasets.

“With Snowflake’s single, integrated data platform, built to fully leverage the speed and flexibility of the cloud, organizations can mobilize their data in near-real time,” said Tarik Dwiek, Director of Technology Alliances at Snowflake. “Our partnership with Mode enables data scientists to have access to a wide breadth of data without sacrificing speed.”

Snowflake shatters barriers that prevent organizations from unleashing the true value from their data. Thousands of customers around the world mobilize their data with Snowflake’s cloud data platform. Snowflake provides near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance while spanning multiple clouds and geographies. Our cloud data platform also drives the Data Cloud — the global ecosystem where thousands of organizations have seamless and governed access to unlock the potential of data.

“Through our partnership with Snowflake it’s now possible for all departments across a company to truly centralize and interact directly with their data,” said Benn Stancil, Co-founder and President, Mode Analytics. “Mode enables data teams to quickly analyze that data and stakeholders to extend the analysis. Business users – who only had access to simplistic reports on pre-aggregated cubes – can now interact with sophisticated analyses built across all of their data.”

About Mode Analytics

Mode’s advanced analytics platform was created by data experts for data experts.It allows data scientists and analysts to visualize, analyze, and share data in a powerful end-to-end workflow that covers everything from the exploration stages to a final, shareable product. Unlike traditional business intelligence tools that produce static dashboards and reports, Mode brings the best of BI and data science into a single platform, offering the best way to empower everyone at your organization to use data to make high quality, high-velocity decisions. Mode also supports the analytics community with free learning resources such as SQL School, open-source SQL queries, and free tools for anyone analyzing public data.
