Hillside, IL, May 05, 2013 – Wine, women and wealth is a winning combination in the next episode of Deanne DeMarco’s high energy show, “Today’s Inspiring Women.”

Deanne DeMarco’s guests next Thursday, May 9, for her weekly program on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Radio network, are two inspiring women from the worlds of wine and finance.

During the hour-long broadcast DeMarco, who has herself enjoyed twenty years of success as a career coach and entrepreneur, will interview Master of Wine Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan and financial expert Stephanie Skaggs.

Jennifer frequently appears on national television including NBC’s Today Show, Fox News, Fox Business Channel and Anderson Cooper.

Deanne DeMarco will be exploring Jennifer’s path to success in this male-dominated field, discovering how she managed to switch careers, walk away from a 6 figure salary and what lessons can be learned for other women. She will also want to know if it’s true that women have a more sensitive sense of taste and smell.

Stephanie Skaggs is an entrepreneur, business owner, financing specialist, mortgage professional and real estate investor. Over the past 16 years she has started 11 companies either by herself or with partners. As president of Asset Financing Group, Inc. she specializes in small business financing and commercial mortgages. She has helped more than 150 business owners and entrepreneurs obtain financing.

Deanne DeMarco herself has used her innovative strategies—drawn from successful experiences as a scientist, college instructor, management trainer, Fortune 500 manager, author and entrepreneur—to help business executives and individuals break through personal and career roadblocks.

DeMarco says, “Each week I introduce extraordinary and inspiring women who may not yet be household names but are business and entrepreneurial rising stars.

Gorham Paper and Tissue Positioned as Success Story on CBS Evening News

New Hampshire based specialty paper business featured on CBS Evening News as a success story linked with the release of Q1 GDP numbers, reporting a 23% increase in sales volume year-over-year

Gorham, New Hampshire, April 30, 2013 – The migration of Gorham Paper and Tissue from a shuttered paper mill to a viable tissue, towel and specialty paper operation with over 200 employees and demonstrated sales growth was featured on the CBS Nightly News (April 26, 2013). The segment highlighted a 23% increase in year-over-year sales volume for Gorham due to an enhanced energy platform, newly installed state-of-the-art tissue machine and sharpened focus on delivering highly engineered products for demanding niche applications.

“We epitomize a good news story. With the support of Patriarch Partners and the hard work of our employees, we are transforming our business day-by-day. Gorham started operating in 1852 and has progressively built a legacy of expertise in producing challenging technical papers. Until recently that unique capability was overshadowed by an uncompetitive cost structure,” said Dick Arnold, President and CEO. “By optimizing our energy platform and anchoring our business to the stability and growth of the towel and tissue markets, we can focus on capturing market share in the specialty papers market.”

In the specialty arena, Gorham manufactures a tremendous range of papers that includes bags, pouches, wraps and liners for food packaging, substrates engineered with application-specific technical properties such as flame retardance, absorbency or light fastness and versatile high-yield converting grades.

Brian McAlary, Vice President of Sales and Marketing added, “Maintaining a strong tissue and towel business is the backbone of our strategic plan with our specialty paper business serving as a key contributor to our success. We are poised for growth with some of the most flexible equipment in the industry, our extensive experience in barrier coating technology and a business model built around customization. The market is telling us we have targeted the right micro-segments with a solid service and product platform. Given the changing market dynamics, it should be a great year for Gorham.”

Patriarch Partners purchased Gorham in May of 2011 looking for vertical integration with another forest products portfolio company, Old Town Fuel and Fiber. The two operations deliver synergy as Old Town manufactures the primary raw material (pulp) required to make paper and represents a secure source of supply for Gorham.

A link to the CBS Evening News segment is available on the Gorham website.

About Gorham Paper and Tissue:
Gorham targets niche technical markets with a broad portfolio of custom-engineered Specialty Packaging, Converting, Engineered and Printing Papers in addition to Tissue and Towel. Using scale and leanness as an advantage, the company challenges industry convention with its manufacturing flexibility, product development lead times and go-to-market strategy.

In May 2011, the Gorham facility was acquired with support from investment funds managed by Patriarch Partners, LLC (Patriarch). Patriarch is a private equity firm and holding company managing 75 companies across 14 industry sectors with revenues in excess of $8 billion.

Founded by Lynn Tilton in 2000, Patriarch focuses on the acquisition and invigoration of undervalued iconic American brands where time, capital and sound strategy can rescue a business and restore its value, creating and preserving jobs in America. Under Ms. Tilton’s leadership, Patriarch has become the largest woman-owned business in America with companies in its platform providing employment to more than 120,000 persons.

Ecotech Institute’s Power Utility Technician Program Addresses Growing Need for Talent in the Sector

More than 10,200 Power Utility Jobs were Available in the Last Year; Industry Insiders See Looming Talent Gap

Denver, Colorado, April 29, 2013 – The Power Utility industry is experiencing a massive demographic shift and employees who know both conventional grid and smart grid technology are in demand. With a growing number of retirees and new technologies cropping up, a new generation of power utility technicians is critical for the industry. Ecotech Institute, which focuses entirely on preparing students for jobs in sustainability, has been closely watching the rapidly changing sector and its Power Utility Technician program exists to fill the gap.

Upon successful completion of the Power Utility Technician program, graduates will be prepared to:

Colorado HealthOP Receives License and Becomes Colorado’s First Statewide Nonprofit Health Insurance Cooperative

Colorado HealthOP Approved to Offer Consumer Operated and Oriented Health Insurance Beginning October 1

Denver, Colo, April 29, 2013 — Colorado HealthOP, Colorado’s first statewide nonprofit health insurance cooperative, announced today that it has received a Certificate of Authority to provide health insurance from the Colorado Division of Insurance. This establishes Colorado HealthOP as an official health insurance plan, and authorizes Colorado HealthOP to provide affordable, quality coverage to individuals and employers in Colorado communities.

To earn licensure in Colorado, an insurance provider must undergo a rigorous review process to determine its potential for longevity. The Colorado Division of Insurance evaluates the organization’s business plan and financial solvency, as well as the background of its executive team and board members.

The CO-OP, which was sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Educational and Charitable Foundation, will provide a variety of health insurance options for individuals and employers in both urban and rural communities across Colorado. In its first year of operations, Colorado HealthOP will offer a statewide provider network that is as robust as those offered by other insurers.

Enrollment will begin October 1, 2013, to coincide with the availability of Connect for Health Colorado, the state’s online health insurance marketplace. Coverage will begin January 1, 2014. Plans will be available on the marketplace, through a network of brokers and agents, and on Colorado HealthOP’s website at www.COHealthOP.org. Subsidies and financial assistance may be available through Connect for Health Colorado for individuals who qualify.

“We appreciate the Colorado Division of Insurance’s vote of confidence in Colorado HealthOP and its unique model,” said Julia Hutchins, chief executive officer of Colorado HealthOP. “We want to make healthcare better in Colorado, and licensure advances our ability to deliver affordable, quality coverage to individuals interested in making a difference in their own health and that of their community.”

Colorado HealthOP gives members a voice in the CO-OP’s operations, including what is covered under its benefit plans. When Colorado HealthOP’s revenues exceed its costs, the surplus will be reinvested to directly benefit members—through lower premiums, expanded benefits and quality improvements. The CO-OP is committed to promoting health as a way of life and will reward its members for healthy behaviors.

Colorado HealthOP is a unique, consumer-driven solution,” said U.S. Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado. “Increased competition in the health insurance marketplace – particularly as the marketplace comes online in October – can only benefit Colorado. Greater access to new options will help individuals, families and employers choose plans that better suit their specific needs.”

With a local perspective and community focus, Colorado HealthOP is dedicated to partnering with doctors, hospitals, brokers and advocates statewide to create benefits and programs that will improve health at the local level. Beginning in May 2013, Colorado HealthOP will begin outreach activities in both English and Spanish to educate the community about their health insurance rights, provide tools for navigating Colorado’s insurance marketplace, and offer resources to help individuals and employers choose the best insurance option for them.

For more information about Colorado HealthOP, please visit www.COHealthOP.org.

About Colorado HealthOP
Colorado HealthOP offers a new alternative to traditional health insurance in Colorado. A nonprofit health insurance cooperative, Colorado HealthOP and its members are committed to providing affordable, quality coverage to individuals and employers interested in making a difference in their own health, their employees’ health and the health of their community. Colorado HealthOP, which was sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Educational and Charitable Foundation, aims to improve health outcomes by putting the responsibility for care back into the hands of the cooperative’s members and providers. A private market solution tailored for individuals and employers, Colorado HealthOP will begin open enrollment in October 2013 via Connect for Health Colorado, Colorado’s health insurance marketplace, and through independent brokers and agents. Coverage will begin January 1, 2014. For more information about Colorado HealthOP, please visit www.COHealthOP.org or call 720.627.8900.
