PSG Announces Release of Highly Anticipated ‘Trends in Specialty Drug Benefits Report’

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Pharmaceutical Strategies Group (PSG), an EPIC company, is pleased to announce the release of its annual Trends in Specialty Drug Benefits report. Delivering visibility into the complexity of the specialty drug landscape, it offers detailed intelligence through proprietary research.

Specialty drug costs have continued to push the boundaries in terms of complexity and affordability. The complicated landscape must consider many variables, such as multiple dispensing channels, dual payment methods, and site of care. This report takes a detailed look into what plan sponsors are facing as they make decisions relative to specialty drug benefit plan design.

Alternative funding continues to be a hot topic as plans explore strategies to help offset the high cost of specialty drugs.

"As plans continue to seek ways to offset specialty drug costs, the market is divided as to whether alternative funding is a positive option or a detriment," commented Michael Lonergan, RPh, PSG President. "Affordability of specialty drugs for plans and members is driving this interest, while there is a concern about sustainability in these models."

Integrated pharmacy and medical claims data for managing specialty drugs remains essential.

"Total cost of care is a key concern, and payers rely on reporting that details how well specialty drugs are performing through the insights of integrated data. However, the challenge is in tracking clinical efficacy," observed Morgan Lee, PhD, MPH, CPH, Senior Director, Research and Strategy.

Affordability of cell and gene therapies will likely be a significant payer challenge in coming years.

"As the cost of specialty drugs continues to increase, some health plans and fewer employers have explored the use of value-based contracting (VBC), a performance-based reimbursement agreement. Rare disease treatments that are being targeted by cell and gene therapies will drive future spending," noted Renee Rayburg, RPh, Vice President, Specialty at PSG. "VBCs represent an effort into finding strategies for keeping costly specialty drugs accessible and affordable."

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE REPORT INCLUDE:

* Gene Therapies: While just 24% of respondents have had a gene therapy patient, 81% expect affordability of gene therapies to be a moderate or major challenge in the next 2-3 years.

* Alternative Funding: 14% of employers and 7% of health plans use alternative funding models, and 14% of employers and 33% of health plans are exploring their use. However, 68% of respondents viewed these models as not at all or slightly sustainable.

* Value-based Contracting: Only 12% of respondents report using value-based contracting for specialty drugs. The need for additional evidence, difficulty agreeing on and tracking outcomes, and lack of resources and buy-in were all cited as key barriers to adoption.

* Specialty Rebates: Nearly all plans receive specialty drug rebates under the pharmacy benefit, but health plans are more likely than employers to receive rebates under the medical benefit (66% vs. 27%).

Additional topics covered in the report include increasing usage of new-to-market formulary blocks, interest in site of care programs, prior authorization tracking and reporting, and use of strategies related to biosimilars.

PSG has been researching and reporting on drug benefit design for over 10 years. The report takes an in-depth look at trends and best practices in specialty drug benefit design through the lens of comprehensive questions and responses from over 180 employers, health plans, and labor unions.

Embrace the Power of Proof: How Documenting Sobriety Can Restore Relationships and Boost Confidence in Addiction Recovery for Mental Health Awareness Month

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In anticipation of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Soberlink, the leading alcohol monitoring technology for documenting proof of sobriety, is excited to launch its inspiring "Proof is Powerful" initiative. This campaign aims to emphasize the life-changing impact of proving sobriety in healing relationships and bolstering confidence during the recovery process.

By sharing the moving stories of Soberlink clients who have successfully rebuilt their lives and relationships, the "Proof is Powerful" initiative brings attention to the significance of the little green checkmarks on a Soberlink calendar. As individuals demonstrate their commitment to sobriety, they progressively restore trust with their loved ones, creating a supportive environment for enduring recovery. The campaign poses the question: Can something as simple as proving sobriety truly be the key to unlocking this healing process?

Grant, a former Soberlink client, witnessed this transformative power firsthand. Initially hesitant to use Soberlink, Grant soon recognized the positive impact it had on his relationships with those around him. By documenting and proving his sobriety through Soberlink, Grant was able to regain trust, mend relationships, and renew his dedication to a healthier, sober life, along with a rewarding new career.

"For me, Soberlink was a crucial accountability tool. It was the guardrail that kept me from veering off the road to recovery," says Grant. "Soberlink also provided evidence of change that helped me regain the trust of my family. With the help of Soberlink and other support, I learned that recovery was not only possible but also enjoyable and rewarding. So much so that it inspired a career change and led me to work for an organization whose mission is to help people struggling with alcohol and drug use disorders find quality treatment appropriate for their needs."

Peak Residential Lending Builds Digital-First Mortgage Borrowing Experience Using LenderLogix Product Suite

BUFFALO, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- LenderLogix, a leading provider of mortgage automation software and application programming interfaces (APIs), today announced Peak Residential Lending has implemented its complete application suite - LiteSpeed, QuickQual and Fee Chaser - into its existing tech stack to power a digital-first borrower experience.

"As a relatively new company, we have been thoughtful and strategic about our tech decisions to ensure we're investing in tools and platforms that drive real operational value. Having used some of the more well-known POS systems previously, we were looking for a more flexible platform that would deliver the essential features and functionality we need to make an impactful first impression with borrowers at a price that was affordable," said Charly Bates, Branch Manager at Peak Residential. "Not only did LiteSpeed meet all our needs, but the entire LenderLogix product suite has enabled us to build a digital native lending operation starting from our initial borrower touchpoint, and its seamless integration with Encompass has enhanced the value we get out of our existing tech stack."

LiteSpeed powers Peak Residential's loan application process, delivering a simple but highly engaging borrower experience integrated with Encompass(r) while giving lenders peace of mind that they're collecting everything needed to hit the ground running. For instance, LiteSpeed automatically curates a list of needed documents for the borrower to collect and upload. From there, QuickQual allows the borrower and real estate agent to run payment and closing cost scenarios based on parameters set by the loan officer (LO) and generate pre-approval letters instantly. Once the borrower moves from application to the underwriting phase, Fee Chaser extends the value derived from LiteSpeed and QuickQual through the seamless collection of up-front costs, such as appraisal fees.

"Peak Residential is a prime example of the speed and ease with which lenders can implement our tools. Thanks to their eagerness and engagement from the start, we had them up and running on all three platforms in less than two weeks, resulting in one of our fastest implementations to date," said LenderLogix Founder and CEO Patrick O'Brien. "We intentionally designed our applications for rapid implementation so lenders can deliver highly personalized and powerful borrower experiences within weeks of making the buy decision. That way, our customers and their borrowers can begin realizing the transparency and efficiency benefits our applications deliver throughout the homebuying process as quickly as possible."

About LenderLogix

LenderLogix leverages the four decades of firsthand mortgage origination and real estate experience of its executive team to design customized software and APIs to meet the needs of today's mortgage lenders.

WHO 13 News Spotlights Stride Autism Centers’ ABA Therapy Services During Autism Acceptance Month

DES MOINES, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- As part of its Autism Acceptance Month efforts, WHO 13 News - Des Moines's local NBC station - sat down with Brad Zelinger, Founder and CEO at Stride Autism Centers. Not only did they discuss the new Stride location opening up in Des Moines, but Zelinger and Anchor, Erin Kiernan, also explored effective treatment for kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

At the top of the interview, they discussed Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy, which Zelinger described as the "Gold Standard" in treatment for individuals with autism. He explained that at Stride, they use ABA to customize a treatment plan to help young children overcome their unique challenges.

Kiernan shared that her own son attends an ABA program. Her primary takeaway, she said, was that she often observes her son and other children playing as part of the program.

"The most effective therapy is when it's fun," Zelinger explained. He said that Stride Autism Centers specializes in supporting children ages 2-6. "They're really young and they should be playing and having a good time, and there's a lot of research supporting that. The more fun kids are having, the more engaged they are in those skill-building exercises," he said.

Zelinger also shared how the founding of Stride was born of his experiences with his older sister, Marissa, who has Rett syndrome, a severe autism-related disorder. "Knowing that there was a type of therapy that could make a huge difference and change the arc of someone's life, and not only for them but for their whole family, I decided to leave my old career in the business world to build something that would make an impact."

The result is Stride Autism Centers, which currently operates sixteen centers throughout Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska, with new locations in the works. One of them, in particular, will be opening right in the heart of Des Moines. This will be the fourth Stride location in the greater Des Moines area.

"I'm really motivated to bring this type of care to communities in need," Zelinger said as the interview wrapped up.

To learn more about ABA therapy and Stride's various centers, visit https://stridecenters.com/.

About Stride Autism Centers:

Stride Autism Centers is a mission-driven organization that provides evidence-based ABA therapy to children with autism ages 2 to 6. Stride has numerous locations throughout Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. Stride's full-day program combines structured one-on-one therapy with naturalistic group activities. It is designed to assist with communication, emotional regulation, school readiness, social skills, self-care, play and leisure, and transitioning skills.

Comic book child star grows up to partner with writer father on Kickstarter horror titles

FORT WORTH, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Since he was 12 years old, Jake Tinsley has written and promoted his own professional comic books. Now, the 28-year-old Jake is debuting a brand new adult horror title "ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES" which is being sold in a powerful Kickstarter, side-by-side with "THE BLONDE ASSASSIN" title written by his father Ben Tinsley. The father and son comprise the TINSLEY BOYS writing team who work out of Jason Dube's Sacramento-based Scattered Comics. They are best known for their "NIGHT OWL" character, a young shaman protecting the balance of the universe.

"ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES" marks Jake's first comic book title without his father's writing assistance. Jake decided it was time to work alone on Alternative Narratives while his father focused completely on his other projects.

"Comic book production is a ferocious but rewarding process," Jake Tinsley said.

"It takes an incredible amount of work on everyone's part to get these comics finished - and that's just the writing and editing," Jake said in a recent interview, "After Dad and I finished THAT, our scripts then went to Mark Vuycankiat for art and Diego Vasquez for color on 'Blonde Assassin' and Alex Lopez for art and Mike Stefan for color on 'Alternative Narratives.' And insane number of top-level guest artists helped with the covers."

Phil Lockler, who promotes TINSLEY BOYS projects with Tricia Locker, said both comics are a blast to read.

"Prepare yourselves," Lockler chuckled. "They're coming in HAWT!"

In a storytelling sense, "BLONDE ASSASSIn" and "ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE" dovetail with one another, Jake explained. There is a loose but undeniable connection between assassin sisters Surrender (The Blonde Assassin) and Monique (The Blonde Bombshell from "ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES") who each live on alternate earths and each believe the other sister is dead. (Well, actually they ARE, in a WAY, but that's a LONG STORY.)

The online video promotion is available on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05upLV5OoPs

"Be WARNED: Both of these comic books are more 'Rated R/Adults Only' than most," said Ben Tinsley, a writer, film actor, singer and former journalist.

"These are nowhere near the Rated G or PG stories you might expect reading 'Night Owl,'" Ben Tinsley said. "Jake and I will be working together again on another horror title, 'DJINN STALKERS,' and some really cool other projects. But you'll find with this title that his writers voice is a bit different from mine. Meanwhile, Jake's getting so engaging with his writing. It's a joy to watch him continue to grow."

Jake marvels at the TINSLEY BOYS comic book titles now occupying a virtual spinner Kickstarter rack online - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ba3-altnarratives/the-blonde-assassin-3-and-alternative-narratives-1

Jake described it as a menagerie of comic books with little artistic "add-ons" that do with comic books what an ice cream stores do adding nuts, chocolate and other items to flavors such as vanilla.

Inspired by the memory of Jack B. Tinsley, Jake's grandfather and Ben Tinsley's father, the Tinsleys have published an incredible amount of comic book material over the years. In addition to comic books, they produce the one-page, four-panel Night Owl web comic they circulate online for free die for fans.

Jake's work has attracted much attention over the years. When Jake was 14, he was interviewed on The Today Show in recognition of his comic book "Amber Hagerman Deserves Justice: A Night Owl Story," which despite his young age earned him critical acclaim.

Over the years, Jake Tinsley has appeared on numerous news shows, such as FOX, CBS and WFAA. During the "Amber Hagerman Deserves Justice" promotion, he spoke during a live stand-up WFAA news segment that was seen throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry named him a "Shining Star of Texas" in response to his work on on the later title "NIGHT OWL: Bullies Deserve Justice."

Now that Ben Tinsley was successful with his previous Blonde Assassin Kickstarter, the TINSLEY BOYS are expanding and in the process of adapting "Night Owl" to film - casting Jake's brother Camden Lee as the flagship hero. But the writing will continue, the Tinsleys said.

That kickstarter, meanwhile, began last week. The TINSLEY BOYS comic books and Blonde Assassin back issues can be purchased at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ba3-altnarratives/the-blonde-assassin-3-and-alternative-narratives-1

Down Payment Resource Issues Q1 2023 Homeownership Program Index Report

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry's leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, issued its Q1 2023 Homeownership Program Index (HPI). The firm's analysis revealed a 0.5% uptick in the number of homebuyer assistance programs available to help people finance homes, raising the number of programs to 2,362.

Methodology

Published quarterly, DPR's HPI surveys the funding status, eligibility rules and benefits of U.S. homebuyer assistance programs administered by state and local housing finance agencies, municipalities, nonprofits and other housing organizations. DPR communicates with over 1,200 program providers throughout the year to track and update the country's wide range of homeownership programs, including down payment and closing cost programs, Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs) and affordable first mortgages, in the DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE(r) database.

Key Findings

The Q1 2023 HPI examined a total of 2,362 homebuyer assistance programs that were active as of April 7, 2023. Key findings are as follows:

* The majority of down payment assistance (DPA) programs are forgivable. 57.8% of DPA programs - which take the form of grants, community second mortgages or a combination of the two - are forgivable, meaning that they never have to be repaid as long as program conditions are met. Of all types of homebuyer assistance, 43.4% percent of programs are forgivable. The share of both categories of forgivable programs increased fractionally over last quarter.

* Incentivized programs are on the rise. There was a 3% increase in incentivized programs - which are geared toward public servants such as teachers and protectors, Native Americans, people with disabilities and veterans, among others - over the previous quarter. Programs with incentives now make up 17.5% of all available programs.

* Support for multifamily properties increased. Programs that support multifamily homeownership saw a 2.2% increase over the previous quarter. These programs now make up 29.8% of all homebuyer assistance offerings.

* There was an uptick in programs without a first-time homebuyer requirement. DPA programs without a first-time homebuyer requirement grew by 2% in Q1 2023. 39.7% of all assistance offerings do not feature a first-time homebuyer requirement.

"The increase in down payment assistance for several consecutive quarters represents growing opportunities for homebuyers that have been traditionally underserved," said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. "DPR will continue to raise awareness about the myriad assistance programs available and enhance our solutions that enable housing professionals to help more people achieve their homeownership goals."

A more detailed analysis of the Q1 2023 HPI findings, including infographics and examples of many of the programs described in this release, can be found on DPR's website at https://downpaymentresource.com/professional-resource/q1-2023-homebuyer-assistance-program-trends/.

Teresa Bryce Bazemore, Inspiring Leader of FHLBank San Francisco, Named FWSF Financial Woman of the Year 2023

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Financial Women of San Francisco (FWSF) today named Teresa Bryce Bazemore as the FWSF 2023 Financial Woman of the Year. Ms. Bazemore is the President and CEO of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, whose mission is to provide its members with reliable access to low-cost liquidity, essential financial services and expertise, and resources for affordable housing and economic development. Teresa leads the cooperative FHLBank San Francisco in working with its member financial institutions to make the communities served more vibrant, equitable, and resilient.

Throughout her career, Teresa has been dedicated to strengthening communities and making a difference in people's lives. Early in her career, she served on a task force focused on increasing lending to low-to-moderate income people and people of color, an experience that sharpened her focus on expanding access to affordable housing and equitable homeownership opportunity. Teresa also encourages the next generation of leaders to explore career opportunities in the mortgage finance and affordable housing industries, because of how this work directly touches the lives of individuals, families, and communities.

Teresa also recognizes that her growth and career trajectory as a nationally recognized leader was influenced by many mentors and strong female role models. Teresa believes strongly in paying it forward and the FWSF shares Teresa's commitment to making an impact, to mentoring the next generation of leaders, and to advancing women. These are among the many reasons FWSF has named Teresa Bryce Bazemore its 2023 Financial Woman of the Year.

"I deeply appreciate being recognized by Financial Women of San Francisco, an organization that plays an important role in supporting women in my own organization as well as in the wider Bay Area financial services community," said Teresa Bryce Bazemore, president and CEO of FHLBank San Francisco. "It is an honor to be in the company of all the exceptional women leaders who have received this award in years past."

In addition to leading FHLBank San Francisco, Teresa serves on the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price Funds and First Industrial Realty Trust. She has received many prestigious honors throughout her career. Most recently, during Women's History Month in March 2023 Teresa was highlighted as a "Woman Making History" for her work transcending barriers in the housing finance industry and creating a legacy for future generations. Teresa was named to Savoy magazine's 2022 list of Most Influential Black Executives in Corporate America, which showcases executives, influencers, and achievers who demonstrate an exemplary record of accomplishments and influence while working to better their community and inspire others.

Denise Rigli, FWSF's 2023 President and a Partner at Armanino LLP, shared her excitement regarding this year's honoree, "As economic conditions continue to change and global events shape our financial environment, the world of lending can be a challenging one to navigate, especially for the low-to-moderate income community. It takes an outstanding leader to rise to these challenges and, through an unwavering commitment, make a positive impact on both people today and for generations to come. Teresa has focused her career on ensuring individuals and families have a place to call home and the opportunity to build wealth through homeownership. It is with great respect and admiration that we celebrate Teresa's outstanding accomplishments and honor her as this year's Financial Woman of the Year."

"At FHLBank San Francisco, we benefit as a business from building, nurturing, and leveraging a workforce that represents and reflects the wonderful diversity of the customers and communities we and our member financial institutions serve. The more diverse we are, the better we will be in the future," Bazemore says. "Women bring valuable perspectives to the table and while there has been progress in diversifying the financial sector, there is much work still to be done to achieve equitable representation at the C-level. I believe we have to be intentional about bringing more women into the industry and positioning them for success, which is why strong female role models, mentoring, educational and networking opportunities, and the scholarships that Financial Women of San Francisco provides are so important."

The Financial Woman of the Year award was established in 1996 to celebrate the organization's 40th anniversary. Past FWSF Presidents Leslie Miller and Shelly Porges created the Financial Woman of the Year event with the triple purpose of raising funds for FWSF's scholarship program, increasing awareness of FWSF, and honoring the careers of senior leaders in finance. Since then, it has provided a platform for high-achieving honorees to share their professional experience with others and to inspire other women in their own careers and ambitions. Teresa joins a distinguished list of former honorees including Nancy Pfund, Founder and Managing Partner of DBL Partners; Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton; Terri Kallsen, Chief Operating Officer at Wealth Enhancement Group; Heidi Roizen, Partner at Threshold Ventures; Robin Washington, former chief financial officer (CFO) of Gilead; Debbie Messemer, former managing partner of KPMG's Bay Area Market; Carrie Dolan, CFO of Kraken Digital Asset Exchange; Sarah Friar, CEO of Next Door and former CFO of Square; and Pat Yarrington, former CFO of Chevron.

Taylor Wilshire and the Wilshire Foundation again win the Global Excellence Award (GEA) for 2023

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Taylor Wilshire and the Wilshire Foundation have again won the Global Excellence Award (GEA) from the Consortium of International Social and Financial Responsibility (CISFR). This award highlights the Wilshire Foundation's outstanding success in creating sustainable solutions through partnership, innovation, and best practices in order to advance its mission of eradicating poverty by fostering development and promoting affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy for all.

"We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps that are urgently needed to shift the world to a sustainable and resilient path as we embark on this collective journey," Wilshire stated.

As conflicts and divisive international issues arise, the Wilshire Foundation has advanced its humanitarian efforts and funding capabilities to provide shelter and placement for refugees from wars and establish self-sustained communities in India and Africa. The foundation recognizes that international trade can be an engine for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction while creating an important source of income for both the private and public sector in developing countries. This mission to transform poverty goes hand-in-hand with strategies to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth-all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

"Partnerships and collaborations between nations, researchers, and industry teams have highlighted the incredible things we can do together as we promote awareness of sustainable change. The result is transforming not only human equality but also creating economic solutions that deliver new inspiration to every generation on our planet. Our dedicated teams are already bringing us closer and closer to seeing real change," Taylor said.

During a time when most companies and institutions are battling severe economic fluctuation and political crises, the Wilshire Foundation has been receiving praise and funding that will expand its sustainable, innovative, and award-winning programs and projects. Inspired by the tenets of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO), the foundation's cutting-edge financial structures have put it in the spotlight of companies to continue to watch.

The NPA Distinguished Service Award recognizes the highest appreciation for an individual that has demonstrated a profound, sustained, or leadership contribution to improving the postdoctoral experience. Today, that honor was bestowed on Dr. Lisa Kozlowski, who has worked and advocated on behalf of postdocs and the postdoctoral community through the NPA and in her own career continuously for the past two decades.

"I'm so very honored to have been nominated and selected for the NPA's Distinguished Service Award," said Kozlowski. "I look forward to continuing my work with and for postdoctoral fellows, who make such great contributions to the research enterprise." Kozlowski serves as Associate Dean for Student and Postdoctoral Affairs at Thomas Jefferson University. She started as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University in 1997, where she helped lead one of the first postdoctoral associations in the nation.

The NPA Gallagher Mentor Award recognizes the very best of mentors across the nation who advocate for postdoctoral scholars, celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) values, and empower their postdoc scholars to succeed. The NPA is dedicated to both recognizing champions and serving as a model for greater DEI in the postdoctoral community.

Dr. Christian Meissner was named the winner of the 2023 NPA Gallagher Mentor Award of the Year today in recognition of his fifteen years of outstanding mentoring of postdoctoral scholars. Meissner, a professor in the department of psychology at Iowa State University, completed his Ph.D. in cognitive & behavioral sciences at Florida State University. He is recognized for his approach to mentoring, characterized by his peers as empathetic and empowering.

"I'm incredibly humbled by this recognition," said Meissner. "Mentorship has been the most enjoyable aspect of my career and I am grateful to have collaborated with such outstanding early career scholars."

"Drs. Kozlowski and Meissner demonstrate the highest levels of leadership in promoting both individual postdocs and the entire postdoctoral community and are most deserving of our highest awards," stated NPA board chair Caleb McKinney, Ph.D., MPS in recognizing the winners. "All of us can learn from their dedication to promote a culture of belonging and understanding."

In addition, in honor of the NPA's twentieth anniversary, Dr. McKinney presented a special NPA Chair's Recognition to the seven postdoctoral scholars whose inspiration and persistence were instrumental in founding the association in 2003: Drs. Orfeu Buxton, Karen Christopherson, Raymond Clark, Carol Manahan, Avi Spier, Claudina Stevenson, and Arti Varanasi.

Class of 2022 Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School Graduate Makes FFA History

TEMECULA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Brian Kavanagh, Class of 2022, Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School, was the first student to be selected for the National FFA Organization leadership on the state level. And, he just gave his retirement address as Treasurer at the California State FFA Leadership Convention in Ontario, California.

When the Class of 2022 created the Temecula Saint Jeanne chapter in 2018, there were only four catholic high schools in the United States which offered FFA; Saint Jeanne is the only high school in Temecula that offers FFA.

Kavanagh has attended St. Jeanne's since kindergarten and attributes his success as FFA Treasurer to school leaders.

"St. Jeanne's set me up for success," he says. "Having spent the entirety of my education with my St. Jeanne's family, I grew not only academically, but developed a strong moral compass and found my spiritual path as well."

Christian Gomez, agriculture teacher and FFA Advisor, Saint Jeanne, says that an extremely important part of the FFA is the leadership aspect. Students have the opportunity to run for an FFA office at multiple levels ranging from local to national. At the state level, students are elected by a body of delegates, two from each chapter in the state of California.

"The process to run for office is about three months long and is extremely competitive," Gomez says.

State officer candidates undergo many screenings and interviews by a nominating committee. After multiple rounds of cuts, the top 12 students have the opportunity to be slated for a position at the State Leadership Conference that occurs every year.

Kavanagh took a GAP year to devote himself to the position and says he found it important to delay his education plans and to serve for a year with the California FFA Organization because he saw the value in having the potential to directly impact the next generation of educators, business owners, politicians, farmers and leaders.

"In my freshman year, I was impacted by the State Officers and wanted to give back to the same family that allowed me to grow, learn and flourish," he says. "I've learned so many soft and hard skills this year by traveling up and down the state and facilitating leadership conferences, teaching workshops in high schools and middle schools, advocating with elected leaders and forging connections - experiences that I am not too sure are offered in any university class."

Kavanagh shares that he also has a deeper understanding of how agriculture truly is the most foundational industry of the nation. And, he says he owes a lot to his alma mater.


His chapter advisor, Gomez, adds, "The fact that Brian was one of the founding members and had the opportunity to be elected as a state officer at the end of his senior year was an incredible accomplishment. There are programs that have been around since 1928 when the FFA was first founded, and have yet to have a state officer come from their program."

And it looks like Brian has opened the door for other leaders as a second St. Jeanne student, Makena Stanisai, was elected to state office and slated to take over as secretary in 2023-2024.

"I believe these accomplishments are a true representation of how special Saint Jeanne's is," Gomez says. "These students are eager to extend a hand wherever they can and they're passionate about diversifying their high school experience by partaking in organizations and classes that aren't typical of a classic high school experience."

And, as a member of FFA, Kavanagh created his own business, selling homemade jam, and learned more about entrepreneurship and leadership through agriculture.

"Having an FFA program changes the lives of these students," Gomez says. "Without their FFA experience, many have shared that they may have still been undecided on what they wanted to pursue in life and in college."

Kavanagh plans to attend the University of Notre Dame in the Fall where he will study International Business.

About the FFA:

The FFA is an organization that intends to prepare its members for future career success and much more through agricultural education. It has more than 8,000 chapters in the nation including U.S. territories with 850,000+ members. The California Chapter has about 100,000.

About Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School

The Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac community's shared Catholic vision is to guide and challenge students through excellence in teaching. They strive to develop a sense of ownership in each of their students for their own life-long learning. Students can achieve their maximum potential to become faith-filled, literate, integrated, and contributing members of a multicultural society.
