One of the iconic women featured is glass ceiling breaker Anna Sutherland Bissell, one of the country’s first female CEOs, who took over running the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Co. in 1889. Bissell has been advancing women since 1876 and Anna Sutherland Bissell was not only a pioneering businesswoman, but she was also an advocate for women’s rights.
Another iconic woman featured in the “You Are NextUp” campaign is Mattel’s Barbie! Since 1959, the purpose of the Barbie brand has been to inspire the limitless potential in every child. That message is still relevant today as Barbie is inducted into NextUp and awarded an honorary lifetime membership in the organization. This honor is rarely bestowed, with only a few women previously receiving this distinction.
“We are thrilled to have an incredible Board and members of our leadership team that represent companies like Mattel and Target, who have joined forces with us on the ‘You Are NextUp’ campaign and recognize the importance of highlighting the empowerment of women,” said Lisa Baird, CEO of NextUp. “Inducting Barbie as a lifetime member is especially important as Barbie has been an iconic symbol of empowerment, representing more than 250 jobs and personas, from President of the United States to astronaut, fashion designer, pilot, computer engineer, doctor, and so many more, and along the way, inspiring and empowering young girls everywhere that anything is possible. Being a part of NextUp is another step Barbie can use to further her platform to empower more to be all that they dream they can be.”
Target, a long-time supporter of both Barbie and women in leadership roles, is proudly sponsoring Barbie’s lifetime membership with NextUp.
In honor of the “You Are NextUp” campaign, NextUp and Mattel are donating 500 Barbie Career Dolls to the Union League Boys & Girls Club of Chicago in support of their SMART Girls programming. This initiative aims to foster leadership roles for young girls interested in pursuing careers in business and inspire the next generation to believe they can be anything.
“‘You Are NextUp’ is more than a campaign,” noted Lisa Baird. “We know that companies who embrace gender diversity in the workplace increase their profitability by 21 percent or more. We also know that companies with 30 percent more female executives are more likely to outperform other companies by ten-to-30 percent. NextUp helps women and companies succeed. In today’s economy, we need equitable workplaces more than ever before. We are all truly NextUp.”
NextUp’s vision is a professional world where equity has been achieved and women have seats at every table. The NextUp community is thriving as more women make a substantial impact on their companies’ success and reach their career goals in record time. However, NextUp exists out of necessity. Even as gains are made with women in leadership, new challenges emerge and women have yet to cross the finish line of achieving total equality in the workplace. NextUp helps women bring that vision into reality and creates a world where women have equal opportunities at work and equal opportunities to build their lives and careers exactly the way they want them.

This award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and examples set a foundation for women in all levels of a company’s supply chain network.
CHICAGO, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, named Jessica Biella as one of the winners of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Award, which honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and examples set a foundation for women in all levels of a company’s supply chain network.
“This year, we received over 400 submissions, the highest amount of applications not only for this award, but also for all of our awards. What’s more, 118 of those applications were submitted by male counterparts, nominating their boss, co-worker or associate. Last year, that figure was just at 75. Also this year, 39 women self-nominated, a tremendous uptick from last year’s award, which just saw 12 self-nominations. This shows progress. This shows hope that one day, we won’t need an award like this because men and women in the supply chain will be equal,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “While there’s still more work to be done, what we’re doing is working. From truck drivers to CEOs, what these winners are doing matters to the future of all supply chains.”
“Jessica’s remarkable contributions to our operations have been nothing short of transformative. Under her supervision, our operations have seen unprecedented improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and innovation,” said Christine Kelley, vice president of marketing at OSM Worldwide. “Jessica exemplifies the incredible potential women possess in the supply chain and logistics industry. At OSM, we are committed to supporting and empowering women, like Jessica, as they continue to shape the future of this dynamic field.”
“Women have been making a significant impact in supply chain management, contributing to the growth and innovation of the supply chain industry. As more women join the supply chain workforce, they bring diverse perspectives that can help address complex supply chain problems and improve global supply chain operations. It is important that we empower, recognize and elevate these achievements through initiatives like the Women in Supply Chain Award, as seen through the overwhelming response. Congratulations to all the winners, those who nominated others and the bravery of those who nominated themselves,” adds Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge project, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain award.

Each STEAM Edition has a peer-reviewed lesson plan written by Antonia Llull, MOT, OTR/L, and a team of educators teaching children of the relevant age to ensure it reflects current best practices and includes activities that enhance the benefits of Ollyball and highlight relevant learning objectives.
Ollyball MATH has The Ollyball Mathematics Lesson Plan, consisting of five micro lessons using the math-themed Ollyball to support a fun, multi-sensory, active, supplemental learning experience.
The topics addressed are:
Time
3D Shapes, Attributes and Measurement of Volume
2D Shapes, Angles and Measurement of Area of Perimeter
Numbers and Operations
Money
Ollyball PHYSICS allows each student to interact hands-on with experiments that teach the science principles of “Force,” “Velocity” and the “Coefficient of Restitution.” The program provides educators and parents with the guidance to coax further curiosity and learning through physical play combined with scientific practices.
Ollyball ART explores master artists and allows students to “color-by-number” the masterworks of Vincent Van Gogh, Piet Mondrian and Katsuschika Hokusai. The Ollyball ART program also shows how technology impacts the arts with its original NFT on the Ollyball and a QR Code to unlock the learnings. The program includes an eight-page booklet for each student to follow.
“About a year ago, we started seeing Schools and Learning Centers order 10-20 Ollyballs at a time. We reached out to them and learned that they use Ollyball for active indoor recess and to facilitate learning.” said Ollyball inventor Joe Burke. “We asked these educators what lessons they wanted to teach with Ollyball and they all exclaimed ‘Math!’, and we listened. Anyone can color in an Ollyball with markers and crayons to make it their own. We encourage everyone to play ball in the house, in the classroom and for play therapy!”
Ollyball’s Patented KrunchCOR® construction offers a tactile “crunch” benefit. Kids, teens and adults with educational, learning or writing disabilities find Ollyball relieves daily stress. It is a meditative and calming activity at home or even on the road, thanks to how it absorbs impact.
Ollyball STEAM Editions are priced at $19.99 each. For more information, visit http://www.ollyball.com.
About Ollyball®:
Ollyball® is the Ultimate Indoor Play Ball®. This all started when our kids were playing ball in the house and breaking things! One sweltering hot Saturday in July set the Burke family on a quest to create a ball that kids and parents could play within the home. Over five years, this one simple wish for our kids grew from a kitchen table hobby into Ollyball®, winner of a Toy of the Year and the Ultimate Indoor/Outdoor Play Ball! Ollyball was awarded two U.S. Utility Patents, international patents pending, and five registered trademarks in 22 countries. All I.P. is owned by Joseph G. Burke, inventor and owner of VICTURY Sports. Joe and his wife Ellen are parents to three kiddos who now safely play ball in the house!

Tim and Jennifer Bauernfeind, the franchise owners and local residents behind this upcoming TruBlue location in Minneapolis, say they are equally excited about the opportunity.
Jennifer, an existing franchise owner with senior care franchise Comfort Keepers, saw the potential of coupling her current enterprise with TruBlue, a franchise dedicated to providing maintenance and home modifications to seniors allowing them to age safely and comfortably at home. Agreeing with his wife on her decision to add TruBlue to her service offerings, Tim, who previously worked in data forecasting, will be working alongside his wife managing the TruBlue franchise.
TruBlue is looking forward to expansion opportunities throughout the state of Minnesota, with the capacity to fill a number of future territory agreements in the state.
A study conducted by the University of Michigan for Healthcare Policy and Innovation revealed that 88% of people between the ages of 50 and 80 said it was very or somewhat important to them that they live in their homes as long as possible, but only 15% said they’ve given a lot of consideration to how their home may need to be modified as they age, while 47% have given it little or no thought. Considering these statistics, TruBlue is in a prime position to come in and help those seniors in need. TruBlue assists seniors with home modifications and maintenance, both inside and out, so they can stay in their homes longer. Services encompass a wide variety of home modifications for safety and convenience ranging from installing grab bars, ramps and new lighting to updating door handles and modifying bathtubs for easy access.
TruBlue’s highly sought-after Home Ally Maintenance & VIP subscription services guarantees regularly scheduled visits from a handyman to handle home maintenance tasks and to-do list items like storing patio furniture, changing batteries and lightbulbs, fixing holes in walls, hanging mirrors, or caulking sinks and tubs. For seniors in particular, TruBlue is dedicated to ensuring aging adults avoid potentially dangerous situations, like climbing ladders.
“Just like it’s important to maintain your car, it is equally as important to maintain your home, typically our customer’s most valuable asset,” said Fitzgerald. “For busy adults and seniors, it can be hard to keep up with the demands of their homes. With various customizable, subscription-based services, customers can select a TruBlue home maintenance service package that fits the specific needs of their home and family, so they can enjoy hassle-free living.”
With affordable startup costs between $65,000 and $91,000, TruBlue franchise owners can take advantage of the efficient operational model to offer their community three sought-after services: general handyman assistance, ongoing home maintenance programs, and senior home modifications for aging in place. This versatility also makes TruBlue an attractive addition for entrepreneurs already involved in the home services industry.
“We are a high-margin, low overhead business,” said Fitzgerald. “When you have a low cost of operations monthly, with high demand and high margins, that’s a great formula for success. Every location is fully scalable — there’s no limit to the amount of home services a franchise owner can provide, so you don’t have to open a second location in order to grow.”
Now, as awareness around aging in place continues to increase, TruBlue intends to keep the momentum going as it makes major gains toward its goal of over 200 units by 2025. The brand was recently ranked on Entrepreneur’s Fastest Growing Franchises list at No.127 and was also featured at No. 491 on the publication’s Franchise 500 ranking earlier this year.
“The senior population is increasingly in need of our trustworthy and premium home services, which is why TruBlue has been expanding rapidly over the past few years,” said Fitzgerald. “We are looking for qualified, passionate and community-driven professionals to help us expand our footprint and establish ourselves as the leading provider of handyman, home modification and maintenance services for busy adults and seniors.”
TruBlue is actively seeking new franchise owners in markets across the country and has identified Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and Naples, Florida, as well as Houston and Dallas, Texas, as key development markets.
