BayEcotarium Hosts Primary and Final Berkeley Innovation Forum Sessions
5th U.S.-India Conference
BayEcotarium\/Aquarium of the Bay, President & CEO George Jacob shares the importance of working together to grow the world's economy while being sustainable.
More than 100 global CEOs and leaders of some of the world's most influential companies reflected on recent innovations and actions to combat climate change at a special dinner for the opening of the Fifth Berkeley Innovation Forum. The Smithsonian-affiliated Aquarium of the Bay hosted the primary session, and the final session of the event took place at another branch of the BayEcotarium, the Bay Model in Sausalito.
The 5th annual US-India Conference took place at the Speaker Forum on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Executives, professionals, academics, students from both India and the U.S., and key members of U.S.-India trade and economic bodies attended the dinner to exchange ideas in an open forum.
"The world is changing at a quick and dramatic pace, and new orientations and alignments are needed from the world's major economies," said George Jacob, President and CEO of BayEcotarium. "India and the U.S. must work together to shape and ensure mutual prosperity and peace around the globe."
R. Mukundan, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Tata Chemicals in India, spoke about the importance of corporate responsibility to support climate resiliency in an interview that evening. "We believe that conservation, protecting biodiversity and working on climate change cannot be done by one company," Mukundan said. "It has to be done by partnership and ecosystems. If by coming to these forums we can connect with like-minded people, we would like to find them, work with them, and share what we know."
At the closing session held at the Bay Model in Sausalito, Professor Solomon Darwin (Haas School of Business University of California Berkeley) opened the final session. Presentations included industrial activities on the planet, how sustainability is key for the future, and best business practices to thrive in the modern business world. The forum included time for open discussion and question-and-answer sessions.

Capstone Planning Opens New Office to Provide Palm Coast Residents With a Better Retirement
Capstone Planning, an independent financial services firm, opened the doors to their brand-new location on Oct. 7, 2022. The 6,400 sq ft new office is located in Palm Coast Town Center. The multi-million dollar investment in the Palm Coast community is designed to service and aid the growing number of individuals and families that choose Palm Coast to be their retirement destination.
The family-owned firm has served retirees and people approaching retirement in Palm Coast and Ormond Beach for 25 years. "We wanted to invest in our community in a bigger way," said Timothy Wiltfong, Capstone Planning president and founder. "Our new location allows us to do even more for Palm Coast residents. We're committed to making our community a great place to live, both before and after retirement."
"Retirement is what we do," said Keith Wiltfong, CFP®. "The people we work with are usually looking for reassurance they will have enough money to last through retirement. They're also looking for guidance, someone to help them make important decisions and put a clear financial plan in place to get them through their later years."
The firm achieves this through their proprietary process The Better Retirement Journey™, a comprehensive financial plan incorporating five key aspects of retirement planning: income, investments, taxes, health care and legacy. "We want our clients to live by design, not by default," said Connie Wiltfong. "We want our clients to live with confidence and certainty, not worry and fear. They should be living out the dreams and desires they've worked for over the past three or four decades."
Kris Wiltfong agreed. "We're known for helping our clients make life happen," he said. "You get one shot at retirement. People wonder if they're doing their planning right. We've helped hundreds of people get to and through the retirement finish line."

Easterseals UCP’s CEO Recognized for 2022 Leaders in Diversity Award
RALEIGH, N.C. - October 14, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Easterseals UCP (ESUCP) is proud to announce that our CEO, Luanne Welch, has been named one of ten individual 2022 Leaders in Diversity.
Our organization is honored to have a CEO who is recognized for her commitment and guiding hand toward making diversity, equity and inclusion a priority for Easterseals UCP. Unique to most CEO experiences, Luanne personally assembled and leads our Diversity Council. Even more unique, she truly relies on the Diversity Council and the diversity of her leadership team to help examine issues through multiple lenses, especially on critical business decisions that impact the culture and operations of our organization.
"Luanne tackles issues head on - admitting her short comings but committing herself to learning, listening and making decisions that are aligned with where she wants the organization to be headed. As a result, ESUCP is an inclusive place to work, where team members feel unafraid to show up as their authentic selves, free to use their gifts and abilities to advance our just cause." - Michelle King-Stamps, Program Director/Counselor, Assertive Community Treatment Team.
The impact of receiving this award is meaningful and sends a powerful message to our team members and those we support. "Becoming an ideal organization from a DEI lens is a bigger-than-we-are vision and a cause worth striving for. It's important to our team members, those we serve and the community. This award is not just for me, but for everyone at Easterseals UCP who uses their voice to make our organization better," says Luanne.
Luanne, the Diversity Council and many other ESUCP team members attended the Triangle Business Journal's award banquet on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022.
"We are very proud to have our CEO honored by the Triangle Business Journal for her commitment to DEI. Luanne gets it. Her leadership inspires us to show up every day knowing we are working for an organization where we all feel welcome, wanted and valued. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a strategic priority for ESUCP and to see Luanne recognized as part of this impressive group is wonderful," says Maribel Anaya-Hammer, ESUCP's Chief People Officer.
