NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The Council on Accreditation (COA) is proud to announce its publication of new 2020 Edition Standards. The Standards will affect private, public, and Canadian organizations seeking accreditation, and can be viewed online at https://coanet.org/standards.

The changes come after COA sought feedback from its volunteers, organizations, and partners, who provided valuable insight into which aspects of COA’s accreditation process were most helpful. All of the work was done with a single goal in mind: to increase the value of accreditation by focusing on those practices and activities that will have the greatest impact on the people and communities its organizations work with. With this focus, the COA Board of Trustees recently approved COA’s updated mission as “partnering with human and social service organizations to strengthen their ability to improve the lives of the people they serve.”

COA President & CEO Jody Levison-Johnson commended the group effort that culminated in the 2020 Edition, noting that “countless hours were invested by our team of staff and volunteers to bring these updates to fruition. We are thrilled to release standards that focus on the areas most relevant to our organizations, tying directly to their results all while preserving the rigor of COA accreditation.”

The 2020 Edition focuses on the standards that promote the development of effective, mission-driven organizations that are equipped to meet the needs of their clients. Through efforts to refine the standards and focus on those that most impact client outcomes, COA has reduced both the standards and required evidence by about 30%. This will help organizations spend less time compiling evidence, and more time improving practice.

A PDF summary of the standards changes can be found at https://go.coanet.org/2020Edition.

COA will be hosting a webinar on January 16th at 2 PM EST to answer questions about the new Standards. Register at https://bit.ly/2Rgq9Ls.

Launched in September 2019, HomeAid Phoenix is the 19th Chapter of HomeAid America. Through housing development and community outreach, their mission is to help those experiencing homelessness to build new lives. Share the Warmth was the first large scale effort of the new Chapter and the response was overwhelming! Over 13,000 pairs of new socks and 2,500 new blankets were donated by partners throughout the building, lending, and real estate industry across the Metro Phoenix area.

“6,300 people will experience homelessness on any given night across Maricopa County,” said Sam Leyvas, HomeAid Phoenix Executive Director. Adding, “Our hope is that these socks and blankets can provide some degree of warmth and comfort for those in need during the holiday season.”

Bringing HomeAid’s homeless housing development and community outreach programs to Phoenix was made possible by a grant from HomeAid America and philanthropic investments from leading local and national home builders, including: Taylor Morrison, The New Home Company, Shea Homes, Pulte Homes, Lennar Homes, K. Hovnanian Homes, Ashton Woods Homes, Beazer Homes, Landsea Homes, Mattamy Homes, Richmond American Homes, Maracay Homes, Woodside Homes and Brookfield Residential.

Local nonprofits that benefited from the effort include the Sojourner Center, A New Leaf, Circle the City, Child Crisis Arizona, Andre House, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul-Arizona. “These organizations serve a critical need in our community,” said Board President Brad Schoenberg. “The impact that they have on the people, families, and children served every day cannot be measured in words.”

HomeAid Phoenix is excited to make efforts like Share the Warmth part of their annual calendar and looks forward to many more community outreach programs and events in the coming year.

MIAMI (PRWEB)

Andres Ortiz topped the list for Best Billiard Table Design with his piece “Unapologetically Horizontal” in this year’s International Billiard Design Competition. When asked to describe his work he replied, “Through the use of the horizontal axis this pool table aims to reimagine the way an object occupies space. Opposing itself to the well adopted vertical hierarchy that most pool tables employ, it uses horizontal planes to glide through space in an unimposing manner, while visually engaging with the user. The object becomes a manifestation of a repeating horizon line.”

Created by Billiards By Brandt, this years International Billiard Design Competition was comprised of industry experts including past principal of Society Billiards and luxury real estate agent Shelly Abramowitz, VP of City National Bank and member of the Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce Natacha Alexandre, owner of Golden West Billiards Rob Brostoski, Sr. VP of Parker International Linda Hein, Principal of J.D. Ireland Interior Joe Ireland, Executive Team Manager of Brooklyn Boulders Paul Kabacinski, VP of JKL Design Ashley Langer, Founder and Owner of Philip Martyn Design Philip Parkinson and Studio Manager for Hospitality IDDI Ashley Squires.

“Without full knowledge of the technology available within the billiard Industry, it is always a pleasure to see how designers push the boundaries of standard materials to provide a bespoke statement piece not to be found in any catalog or interior space to date. This in turn forces a continuous evolution and challenge to the construction technology of a time old tradition that is the game of billiards,” Ashley Squires- Studio Manager for Hospitality IDDI.

The 2019 International Billiard Design Competition evolved through a need to recognize and celebrate creativity, innovation and those pushing the bounds of creative excellence in all forms of billiard table design. Dan Brandt is dedicated to furthering creative form in the billiards industry and administers this distinguished competition with the goal of raising awareness of individuals who have the creative talent to go beyond the ordinary.

“I was really impressed by the creativity of all the designs. However there was one clear winner for me – I was especially impressed by the originality, the design and the aesthetic quality of the winning submission. It really took on board the competition brief and came up with an innovative, stylish and exciting billiard table! I can’t wait to see the finished product,” said Philip Parkinson- Founder and Owner of Philip Martyn Design.

About Billiards By Brandt:

Similar to commissioning artists for their unique abilities, Billiards by Brandt clients can commission Dan for one-of-a-kind pool tables made precisely to their liking and desired specifications. “Billiard tables are not only art, but also can showcase art,” says Dan, and no better illustration of this is the table he produced to exhibit internationally acclaimed artist Walter Gaudnek’s painting “St. Denis and Goya’s Missing Skull” as billiard cloth. He’s also the expert go-to whenever there is a special request. Just ask Linda Hein, SVP of The Parker Company. Whether it is a lacquer white billiard /dining table with matching shuffleboard for a Miami luxury condo, or leisure gaming equipment for use on private islands, she contacted Dan who made it happen on time, and also oversaw the installation.

Billiards by Brandt produces all items cradle to grave under Dan’s direction and supervision, and ensures clients an efficient process by having him as the point of contact in all transactions. Dan helps guide architects, designers, developers and even inspired homeowners towards the table they envision. And once production begins, an open invitation is extended for all clients to tour the workshop and see their tables being made.
