St. Jude’s Ranch for Children to Break Ground on First-of-Its-Kind Healing Center With...
St. Jude's Ranch for Children, a community of healing and hope, with the help of its construction team — Grand Canyon Development Partners, EV&A Architects, Taney Engineering, and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company — will break ground on its Healing Center on Oct. 25, 2022, for children who are victims of sex trafficking.
Unlike any other nationwide, this first-of-its-kind center will build on the 56-year legacy of the charity by providing safe therapeutic homes and a specialized nurturing recovery program for children who have been forced or manipulated into having sex for money. The Healing Center is unique — from its ground-up residences, holistic treatment options, survivor advocates, trauma-sensitive design, and on-site public school dedicated specifically to this population.
"Child sex trafficking has devastating consequences for its victims, including long-lasting physical and psychological trauma, disease, and even death," said St. Jude's Ranch for Children Chief Executive Officer Dr. Christina Vela. "Through the creation of the Healing Center on our flagship campus in Boulder City, Nevada, we will be able to address every facet of the recovery process while providing a safe space in which they can heal."
St. Jude's Ranch for Children's Healing Center will sit on 10 acres of land, with a series of individual therapeutic homes that will mimic a neighborhood with walking paths and landscaping designed to foster a sense of safety. Therapy offices and outside areas will encourage transformation through connection to nature while a multi-purpose building will include an on-site school, meeting space, library, computer lab, and a yoga and meditation room.
The Healing Center masterplan design and construction costs are estimated at $25 million. The charity has received donations and pledges from Clark County, Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts, The Cosmopolitan, Aristocrat Gaming, Nevada Elks, Justice Miriam Shearing, and additional individual donors. With more than half of the funds raised, the charity is continuing to pursue funding and encourages donations to help these young victims. Clark County School District has also approved $5 million to build the school on the Healing Center campus.
Construction is expected to be completed by Spring of 2024 and the center is expected to be open for residents by Summer 2024.

Artists United for Change Creates Abortion Rights Billboards in Advance of the Midterm Elections
See Clearly and Vote Billboard
Don't Let Him Make The Rules for a Child He is Not Carrying... Vote! Decide Your Own Fate. SeeClearlyAndVote.com
As the nation continues to reel from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a group of artists has come together to call attention to the importance of fighting for abortion freedoms this November. Artists United for Change released its latest ad campaign today at SeeClearlyAndVote.com and is launching creative billboards in Michigan and Georgia. The creative billboard re-imagines the abortion conversation with a shocking photo to remind voters that male politicians will never be faced with the decision of whether they can carry a child to term.
"No matter how hard they tried and what cynical tricks they employed, the right-wing could not keep abortion rights off the ballot in states like Michigan," stated Scott Goodstein of Artists United for Change. "It's now up to all of us to remind voters that they can determine their own fate by voting for abortion rights up and down the entire ballot."
Visit SeeClearlyAndVote.com to learn more and make a plan to vote in this year's critical midterm elections.
About The Artist - Photographer Allan Amato said today, "What struck me most after the overturning of Roe, were all the horror stories of women frantically crossing state lines to get an abortion, many of whom were underage, victims of rape, or subject to preexisting conditions that meant birth could also be a death sentence. These stories sounded like those of immigrants fleeing an oppressive regime rather than American citizens fighting for their right for agency over their own bodies. And I wondered if the people out there denying a woman her right to choose would reassess some of their beliefs if they were the ones with an unwanted pregnancy. If their 10-year-old daughters were forced to cross state lines to abort a fetus that was the result of rape." Learn more about his work at allanamato.com.
About Artists United for Change - Artists United for Change is a federally registered political action committee focused on engaging creatives in adding to the political conversation through their work.

N2Growth Announces Annual 2022 Top 40 CHRO Award Recipients
PHILADELPHIA - October 19, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
N2Growth announced this year's Top CHRO Award recipients today. The list comprises the top 40 HR executives from brands located around the world who are actively reshaping the function. These exceptional leaders pave the way by innovating in their organizations, navigating uncertainty, influencing, and constantly developing those around them.
"No one is more aware of the talent-to-value equation than this group of CHROs. Through the talent they uncover, nurture, and retain, they are the lifeblood of an organization's capacity to provide value to their organizations. Their accomplishments and commitment to innovation are unprecedented. These leaders are top of the class because they are rooted in the moment, while planning for the future." - Kelli Vukelic, CEO
While virtually all Human Resources leaders were looking forward to moving beyond the pandemic, it is impossible to ignore the lasting effects it left on 2021 and its spill-over into 2022. Leading through transition has always been the hallmark of great people leaders, but 2022 is still testing CHROs in unprecedented ways.
Since the inaugural list in 2015, N2Growth has continued expanding and refining the list by looking for CHROs who innovate and outperform their peers regardless of current market dynamics. These leaders represent the top 40, shaping careers, culture, and talent at the world's most innovative people-driven companies.
The 2022 list of Top CHROs is a collection of forward-thinking, future-focused executives. Award selection is curated by N2Growth and outside advisory members, and the recipients are considered based on the following criteria:
- Impact, growth, and performance of the organizations they lead.
- Impact on their industry and in the broader communities they serve.
- Engaged, transparent, and accountable - they must care. They are passionate about their people and their well-being.
- An examination of the talent they've helped to attract and retain.
- General and specific observations of the culture they've had a hand in shaping.
- For members of the 2022 Top CHRO List, DE&I and ESG initiatives are a cornerstone of their work, not an afterthought.
- Take stock of the progressive development plans and programs they've made available to the workforce.
- Evaluate the creativity, reasonability, and effectiveness of the compensation programs.
- Deploy excellent workforce dynamics, engagement, and satisfaction.
- Find a well-positioned and robust employer brand.
- Find HR's hand in everything as an enabler and contributor to operations flowing through to customer/client satisfaction;
- Sophisticated development of leaders and succession plans, using data and engaging high-potential talent in new and different ways.
While the above list is certainly not all-inclusive, it starts to paint a picture of the critical roles CHROs play in the success of any business enterprise. To be recognized on the 2022 Top CHRO List, the words leadership, team, succession, purpose, culture, governance, and diversity are not just buzzwords - they represent who a CHRO is, what they believe, and where they work every day. The depth and breadth of the skills and talents of this next generation of CHROs have taken them from not having a "seat at the table" too often, making them a logical choice as a successor candidate to CEOs.
Please join us in congratulating the recipients of this year's best CHROs. You can view the complete list here.
