The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame is Accepting Nominations of Amazing Women, for its Inductee ‘Class of 2020’

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Do you know an amazing woman? The Colorado Women's Hall of Fame (CWHF) reports that there is only two months to go for its "Call for Nominations" for its next group of extraordinary women to be inducted into the Hall. The Nominations deadline is August 1, 2019. Representing the "Class of 2020," up to ten women will be inducted in March 2020 during a special celebration in their honor.

Every two years, the CWHF inducts contemporary and historical women with significant ties to Colorado who have made enduring and exemplary contributions to their fields, elevated the status of women and helped open new frontiers for women and society.

"Women, and especially young girls, need role models who share a similar drive and vision in life, education, business, and personal development," says Beth Barela, chair of CWHF. "Too many of today's girls and young women still struggle with low self-esteem, the deeply rooted belief that they 'can't,' or that certain obstacles are insurmountable. Having role models to study, emulate, and help them find ways to succeed is critical in women being able to create a healthy, happy, productive future for themselves."

Nominations are generated by the citizens of Colorado who put forward a wide variety of extraordinary women for consideration. These nominations are evaluated by an independent selection committee comprised of diverse citizens from around the state who are experts in their fields. "We really hope for greater participation from Colorado citizens in submitting nominations this year for 2020," says Barela.

The six contemporary and four historical women inducted into the Hall must meet the following criteria:

* Made enduring contributions in their field
* Elevated the status of women/girls
* Helped open new frontiers for women and society

The Hall believes that individuals, businesses, and organizations that submit nominations for the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame send a strong message that women and their contributions matter.

Nominations are due by August 1, 2019. Tips and more information about the selection criteria as well as both English and Spanish version nomination forms are available to download at: https://www.cogreatwomen.org/inductees/nominate/

About the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame:

Since 1985 the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame has inducted 162 women of various races, backgrounds, economic levels, career choices, political philosophies, and religious beliefs united by their outstanding contributions to society. The lives of these extraordinary women are shining examples of what can be achieved with passion, commitment, spirit, and the willingness to stand tall in the face of obstacles.

They are trailblazers, visionaries, women of courage, glass-ceiling breakers, innovators, and rule changers in all walks of life. Their contributions span Colorado's colorful and storied history, reach to its four corners, and have spread to touch our nation and our world.

They are teachers, doctors, scientists, politicians, social activists, bankers, newspaper publishers, philanthropists, humanitarians, authors, a symphony conductor, a former prime minister, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, a jurist, a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, an historical preservationist, a true Western pioneer, an aviation pioneer, a former Miss America, and a Cheyenne princess, to name a few. While some are well known throughout Colorado and the nation, others were pioneers in their small communities.

Mohima Sanyal Named 2019 Koch Kellan Scholar

PORTLAND, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- Paragon BioTeck, Inc., an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical device company, announced today that Mohima Sanyal has been named its 2019 Koch Kellan Scholar. Paragon Gives, a Paragon BioTeck initiative, awards the Koch Kellan Scholarship to an outstanding graduate medical student committed to elevating the standard of eye care through social responsibility and through a clinical, teaching, or research career in ophthalmology.

"Mohima's credentials reflect a commitment to science and to public health. She plans to study ophthalmology and has already shown an interest and an aptitude for that specialty," said Paul Koch MD, one of the doctors whose namesake is attached to the scholarship. "She has the background to apply what she learns in the vast world of underserved populations both here and abroad. If she continues along this path, she will be a valuable teacher and influencer in the world of medicine."

Ms. Sanyal is a third-year student at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. She attends medical school with the personal ambition to apply her interdisciplinary perspectives towards providing excellent, accessible medical care to patients. She believes that access to "excellent healthcare is fundamental to a just society, and that it is critical that we engage with community-specific visual health needs and contribute to innovative, culturally-informed solutions." Her projects involve creating a more inclusive, theoretically-grounded approach to visual care research, applying the power of narrative medicine to mitigate implicit bias in physician practice, and eliminating language and insurance barriers for care.

"It means so much to be recognized by luminaries in this field - Drs. Koch and Kellan, as well as Paragon BioTeck - for my dedication to the field of ophthalmology and to providing excellent, equitable medical care to all," said Sanyal.

Ms. Sanyal has applied her interdisciplinary perspectives through her work with the Primary Open-Angle African-American Glaucoma Genetics Study (a National Institutes of Health study), by giving back to her community with the Give Kids Sight Day as a volunteer coordinator, and through various avenues related to ophthalmology.

"I was extremely impressed with the extraordinary measures she has taken in her pursuit to achieve a global perspective of how best to address visual-related health needs. Her MD-Master of Public Health degree combined with her MSc in Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology will give her the necessary credentials and those along with her enviable selfless attitude will guarantee her a leadership role in her field," said Robert Kellan MD, the scholarship's other namesake.

Paragon Gives will formally present the Koch Kellan Scholarship to Ms. Sanyal at a breakfast attended by Drs. Koch and Kellan, and Paragon CEO, Patrick Witham, during the annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, held May 5, 2019 in San Diego, California.

Patrick Witham discusses the importance of the scholarship in regard to ophthalmology, "Since its inception, this award has been extended to some of the best and brightest, up and coming stars in this area of medicine. The award's namesake is perfectly apt, given the unparalleled caliber of candidates and recipients that have shown interest in pursuing a career in an area of medicine where both Dr. Koch and Dr. Kellan have made such tremendously important contributions."

About Paragon Gives and the Koch Kellan Scholarship:

Paragon Gives, a Paragon BioTeck, Inc., initiative, supports a number of charities and organizations, including those within the biotechnology and health care arena. The initiative also works with individuals and organizations that have made a positive impact on our customers, vendors, investors, and industry as a whole.

The Koch Kellan Scholarship affirms Paragon's commitment to elevating the standard of eye care and enhancing patient quality of life. Mohima Sanyal is the fifth recipient of the scholarship. Previous recipients include Alejandro Arboleda of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and Xinxin Zhang of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The scholarship was first awarded to Captain Edward Woodward of the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine in 2015.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- California-based leading immersive media technology provider IntelliMedia, bagged not one but two of the coveted Product of the Year awards at the world's largest media tech expo NAB 2019, which concluded recently in Las Vegas.

MiXie and HoloPort, two of the three path-breaking products that the company launched this year, generated buzz in streaming community by winning the NAB Show Product of the Year Awards. They share the envious space at the top with Adobe, Blackmagic and Canon. Over 1,600 companies from more than 160 countries showcased their products. The winners have made the cut from shortlisted products in 13 different categories.

MiXie is aimed at empowering individual live streamers with real-time graphics overlays. HoloPort is an enterprise VR application capable of supporting 360-degree hyper-reality streaming. The third product is a solution builder for integrating comprehensive Video AI in streaming video applications.

IntelliMedia's products are next-generation technology solutions that level the playing field for an average user by enabling them to generate studio quality content on their personal hand-held devices.

"It is this innovative approach in configuring products that has brought the company in this league," says IntelliMedia president and co-founder Darshan Sedani. "To be recognized by the NAB is a great honor. We sincerely appreciate the fact that two of our products were awarded. Innovation is in our DNA. At IntelliMedia we are driven by the passion, creativity, and tenacity of our team members," he said.

IntelliMedia delivers personalized video experiences across all screens and has a proven track record in video management, publishing, analytics, and monetization. It has been providing media-tech solutions to many corporations, OTT providers, government agencies and SMBs.

"Winning the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show Product of the Year award is fantastic as it gives our products industry recognition. We believe our products will simplify and reshape the way consumers and businesses broadcast their live video content," CEO and co-founder Teodros Gessesse says.

While HoloPort is already available, IntelliMedia will commercially launch MiXie later this year.

HoloPort:

It is a hyper-reality streaming solution that provides customized high-impact immersive media and visualization applications. "HoloPort is our bold attempt to bring hyper-reality streaming to your fingertips," Sedani says

It lets users experience 360-degree walkthroughs with integrated AR elements. A user can experience volumetric video within this virtual environment.

"We still see VR as science fiction. It's not only about playing games, both VR & AR have a significant role to play in the enterprise technology ecosystem. With advancing technology, the very notion of a clear dividing line between reality and virtual reality has blurred in creative ways," Sedani adds.

The application of this product can be limited only by imagination. Real-estate firms can showcase properties virtually, along with the avatar of an agent to guide the visitor through the property. Universities can train or impart digital education. Corporations can make presentations, announcements, and sales communications. Medical VR is another area with fascinating possibilities. Event organizers, sports leagues and others can similarly use it too.

MiXie:

"81 percent of Twitch users are professional steamers. 56 percent of YouTube users are creators. The future belongs to user-generated content," Sedani outlines the concept of his award-winning product.

MiXie is the world's first full-featured iOS video broadcast application with real-time professional graphics overlay.
It facilitates professional live streaming on multiple platforms. With MiXie, a single person production crew can create professional live streaming on existing platforms like FB, YouTube & Twitch - which have the world's largest content creators' communities.

"As live streamers' community is growing at an astronomical rate, the need of the hour is to empower streamers with the tools to create professional-grade live broadcast with minimal investment. MiXie will extend real-time VFX capabilities to live streamers worldwide," Sedani adds.

This product is highly recommended for live streaming of sports, events, seminars, presentations, keynote addresses and faith-based event broadcasting, etc.

Video AI:

IntelliMedia's Video AI technology recognizes every frame of the video and extracts intelligent insights. In real-time, it can recognize objects, faces, expressions, and gender, converts speech to text, builds auto-metadata, to name a few areas that it's powerful AI capabilities.

The Architects:

IntelliMedia team worked hard and round-the-clock to create these trail-blazing products. Product teams were led by Joy Shah (HoloPort), Nirav Vasa (Video AI), Devang Ajmera (MiXie). They put all of their energies and brain in shaping them with the singular purpose of making life easy for the end-users.

A highly flexible and service-oriented company, IntelliMedia has registered an average annual growth rate of over 90 percent. President Darshan Sedani and CEO Teodros Gessesse are the founders of the company.

National Disability Provider Association Names Nicole Dufour and Marian Mulba-Poquee Recipient of 2019 DSP of the Year Award

MONTPELIER, Vt. /ScoopCloud/ -- This morning, the American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR) announced that Nicole Dufour and Marian Mulba-Poquee, both Direct Support Professionals at The Institute of Professional Practice, Inc., have been named the recipient of the 2019 DSP of the Year award.

Dufour and Mulba-Poquee join more than four dozen other recipients of ANCOR's 2019 Direct Support Professional of the Year awards, chosen from a field of nearly 350 outstanding nominees.

"IPPI is overwhelmingly proud of Nicole Dufour and Marian Mulba-Poquee for their award recognition of course, but more importantly for their dedication and commitment to true community inclusion for the individuals we support," said Lou Giramma, IPPI CEO. "We cannot think of two people who more clearly demonstrate the power of person-centered supports, and we're so grateful that ANCOR has recognized both Nicole and Marian with this high-profile honor."

Awarded annually since 2007, ANCOR's Direct Support Professional of the Year awards recognize outstanding professionals who provide long-term supports and services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The awards and the accompanying presentation at ANCOR's Annual Conference were created to celebrate the important role Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) play in ensuring individuals with I/DD can be included and empowered in their communities, and to raise awareness about a direct support workforce in crisis. Nationally, turnover rates near 50 percent amount to a significant shortage of DSPs.

"I started my career in the field of disability supports as a DSP, and so I know just how critical DSPs are to supporting individuals in their quest to live their best and most fulfilling lives," said Robert Budd, President of ANCOR and Chief Executive Officer at FREE, Inc, in Old Bethpage, New York. "DSPs rarely receive the recognition they deserve, and for that reason I'm proud of our association for recognizing Nicole Dufour and Marian Mulba-Poquee and all of their significant contributions to the lives of the individuals supported by The Institute of Professional Practice, Inc."

Barbara Merrill, ANCOR's Chief Executive Officer, added: "I often describe DSPs as 'community navigators.' Far more than just caregivers, DSPs do it all. From navigating civic life to supporting individuals to create a sense of community around them, DSPs make magic in their communities every single day. These awards represent just a fraction of the recognition that individuals like Nicole Dufour and Marian Mulba-Poquee deserve."

The 2019 Direct Support Professional of the Year awards will be presented in a ceremony in Portland, Oregon, on May 8, 2019, at ANCOR's Annual Conference, Bridges to Better Outcomes. Members of the press interested in attending the awards presentation should contact Sean Luechtefeld, ANCOR's Director of Communications, at sluechtefeld@ancor.org or 703.535.7850, ext. 100.

About ANCOR:

For nearly 50 years, the American Network of Community Options and Resources has been a leading advocate for the critical role service providers play in enriching the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). As a national nonprofit trade association, ANCOR represents 1,600+ organizations employing more than a half-million professionals who together serve more than a million individuals with I/DD. Our mission is to advance the ability of our members to support people with I/DD to fully participate in their communities. Learn more: https://ancor.org/.

Reconciled Wins Small Business Association’s (SBA) Minority-Owned Business of the Year Award

BURLINGTON, Vt. /ScoopCloud/ -- Local cloud-based company Reconciled is honored to join a long list of outstanding small businesses as the winner of Vermont's Small Business Association's Minority-Owned Business of the Year award.

CEO Michael Ly started Reconciled in 2015 after moving to Burlington and discovering that many clients weren't keeping good financial records. Michael realized he could solve the problem - on a local level and beyond - with cloud-based accounting tools.

In under four years, Reconciled has grown to a staff of over 20, serves over 100 customers monthly, and has surpassed the seven figure mark in revenue. The company has also opened offices in Charlottesville, Los Angeles and Denver. "I would not have guessed it would have gotten this big or grown this fast at all," Michael says of Reconciled's extraordinary growth.

Michael's parents immigrated from Cambodia, and most of his family members are entrepreneurs. He credits his entrepreneurial and consulting background for getting Reconciled off the ground so quickly. But what really keeps them growing, he believes, is their ability to earn - and keep - client trust.

"Accounting itself is not sexy, but what is is when entrepreneurs can feel that they are thriving. That's what our team does: we make sure that they're able to make educated financial decisions because of accurate numbers," says Michael. "The feedback we get from our customers is that they actually love our bookkeepers, which is a rare thing to hear."

The SBA award recognizes the impact of entrepreneurs who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, innovation, community initiatives and commitment to local economic growth. Ly and other local winners will receive their awards at the 2019 Vermont Small Business Awards Ceremony in June.

About the U.S. Small Business Association:

National small business week has been running for over 50 years with the purpose of highlighting outstanding contributions of American entrepreneurs from all 50 states.

ReverseVision Voted ‘Best in Show’ by Attendees of NEXT Women’s Mortgage Event in February

EDMOND, Okla. /ScoopCloud/ -- NEXT Mortgage Events LLC, a creator of events for women mortgage executives, has announced that ReverseVision has been voted Best in Show for the live technology showcase at its February 2019 technology conference. This distinction is awarded to the technology showcase participant that presented the most compelling solution, as determined by attendee vote.

Seven technology providers participated in the live technology showcase. ReverseVision's VP of sales and marketing, Wendy Peel and her colleague, product manager Jason Price, participated by presenting the company's RV Sales Accelerator (RVSA). RVSA is the only calculator in lending that compares how a HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) performs against traditional mortgage products (fixed, variable, HELOC), based on a borrower's unique financial circumstances.

Designed to help senior borrowers, RVSA enables the lender to quickly and easily evaluate which loan product best suits the borrower's current and future financial goals.

Nearly 200 women executives attended the February NEXT mortgage event, which was held on February 7-8, 2019 at Hotel ZaZa in Dallas, Texas. Voting took place through the event's official mobile application.

"A lot of executives come to NEXT specifically to discover new technology," said Molly Dowdy, co-founder of NEXT. "ReverseVision showed how their technology can help open new revenue opportunities for mortgage lenders, and as the vote indicates, that really seemed to resonate with attendees. We congratulate the entire team at ReverseVision."

About NEXT Mortgage Events LLC:
In January 2018, NEXT Mortgage Events broke the mortgage industry's unspoken barriers that limit women's access to competitive intel and networking-based information exchange, when it introduced NEXT, the mortgage technology summit for women. NEXT is a two-day, tech-focused symposium based on lenders sharing competitive intel with other lending executives. A boutique gathering, each NEXT event is limited to 165 attendees, and targets a select group of decision making executives. Approximately 85-90 percent of lender attendees hold a title of VP or higher and roughly 85 percent of attendees are women. NEXT is held twice a year, in winter and summer.
