NCMA Locks in High-Caliber Lineup for World Congress

National Contract Management Association

World Congress, the nation's premier event for contract management, procurement, and acquisition professionals announced the event's return to Chicago with an esteemed lineup to prepare for a "Yes, and" world. World Congress consistently features leaders and influencers as keynote speakers and leaders of engaging sessions. This year, World Congress attendees will hear from the most sought-after experts who continue to drive significant and impactful innovation, including: Chicago Jazz Philharmonic Double Quartet Jason Schenker, President, Prestige Economics and Chairman, Futurist Institute Zach Baumann, Talent Researcher, Air Force Personnel Center Orbert Davis and members of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic Double Quartet will open World Congress and lead participants in an interactive and entertaining session on what great leadership looks, feels, and sounds like using the concepts of improvisation. Jason Schenker, one of the world's top economic and financial forecasters, will provide his outlook on the economy, financial markets, and labor market. Schenker is the President of Prestige Economics and Chairman of The Futurist Institute. He has been ranked one of the most accurate financial forecasters and futurists in the world. Bloomberg News has ranked Mr. Schenker a top forecaster in 46 categories, including #1 in the world for his accuracy in 26 categories, including for his forecasts of the Euro, the British Pound, the Swiss Franc, the Russian Ruble, the Chinese Yuan, crude oil prices, natural gas prices, gold prices, industrial metals prices, agricultural commodity prices, and U.S. jobs. Zach Baumann, an active-duty U.S. Air Force Support Officer who has been disrupting the DoD status quo since his first day of military field training, will close World Congress with a look at today's gaming communities and explore the power they hold for the future of the DoD. Specializing in the “people” enterprise, Bauman’s work has been repeatedly recognized for his innovative and “why not” approach to solving problems, shaping strategy, and influencing others. Before starting his current job as a talent researcher at the Air Force’s Personnel Center, Baumann completed an MBA at the University of Colorado – Boulder focused on analytics and entrepreneurship. In between classes, Baumann co-founded Air Force Gaming, a grass-roots movement of digital natives that is changing the future of how service members connect. “I am thrilled to welcome Jason and Zach to the main stage, and to bring powerful improvisation skills to our community,” said Kraig Conrad, NCMA Chief Executive Officer. The NCMA community is excited to hear from these world-renowned visionaries and learn how to re-imagine and re-shape the future of contract management.

CAF AMERICA JOINS AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN POLAND TO LAUNCH CORPORATE AID FOR UKRAINE FUND

CAF America

CAF America, America’s nonprofit leader in international grantmaking with a network of more than 1.8 million charities globally, announced the launch of Corporate Aid for Ukraine (CAU) Fund in partnership with the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland’s (AmCham Poland) Corporate Aid for Ukraine initiative and with the support of the honorable U.S. Ambassador to Poland, Mark Brzezinski. The CAU Fund is a donor-advised fund that empowers corporations to provide effective, impactful aid to Ukrainians during this dire time. The fund is a critical resource in the current humanitarian aid landscape, providing access to frontline aid, enabling tax-deductible donations, providing support from the U.S. Embassy, and ensuring all charity partners are validated charitable organizations, among others. “We are honored to be working in partnership with the American Chamber of Commerce of Poland,” says Ted Hart, President & CEO of CAF America. “CAF America is currently working with over 50 charitable organizations across Europe to provide humanitarian support for Ukrainians, and this fund will help further those efforts by creating access for corporate donors to ensure their charitable contributions have the highest impact and go to those most in need.” “Corporate Aid for Ukraine and AmCham Poland are in a unique position to help the Ukrainian people, including the more than three million refugees who have fled their motherland – of which more than two million have already arrived in Poland,” says John P. Lynch, Founder of CAU, and AmCham Treasurer and Board Member. There is a massive and unprecedented need for financial support for humanitarian aid. “U.S. corporations and businesses are an incredibly important source of funding on the frontlines for aid,” says Tony Housh, Chairman of AmCham Poland. “Our advisory board and AmCham Poland will work in partnership to closely monitor the evolving situation and respond promptly to emerging needs and rapidly evolving challenges as this humanitarian crisis continues to develop.” Benefits of the CAU fund include: Frontline Aid. AmCham Poland, the board and volunteer executives are on the front line of the Ukrainian humanitarian crisis. The Critical Role of Poland. Poland is an EU and NATO-member nation bordering Ukraine. 62% of Ukrainian refugees are in Poland. There are proven open supply-chains into Ukraine from the Polish border. The CAU and AmCham board has decades of experience and are well-connected with Polish government, institutions and businesses, plus has strong contacts within Ukraine. We can get things done here near the front line. Tax-deductible donations. Corporate or individual donations to the CAU Fund to support Ukrainian aid will be fully tax deductible (under U.S. tax laws) as CAF America is a US public charity. U.S. Embassy Support. As AmCham's Honorary Chairman, U.S. Ambassador Mark Brzezinski “applauds AmCham's role in creating Corporate Aid for Ukraine and encourages U.S. firms to support front line Ukrainian humanitarian efforts such as the CAU Fund.” Donations from outside the United States. The CAU Fund can accept donations from companies and individuals from around the world, but non-U.S. donors should check their local regulations regarding the tax-deductible status of donations. Donations made to the CAU Fund in non-dollar currencies will be converted to US dollars and distributed to grantees in the currency of their preference. Strictly humanitarian aid. To qualify for tax-deductibility, donations must be used exclusively for humanitarian efforts. Among the many uses, your donations will be used for the purchase of food, hygienic products, medicines and medical supplies, and more. Straight to those in need. AmCham-appointed CAU donor advisors will advise donated funds to established, validated charities in Poland and aid organizations on the front lines providing immediate support to Ukrainian citizens in the country and refugees in Poland. Full Vetting. Every grantee will be vetted by both Charities Aid Foundation America and CAU / AmCham Poland. As AmCham's Honorary Chairman, U.S. Ambassador Mark Brzezinski said he “applauds AmCham's role in creating Corporate Aid for Ukraine and encourages U.S. firms to support front-line Ukrainian humanitarian efforts such as CAU. I am in deep admiration of this unprecedented initiative to help your neighbors in crisis. This is a perfect example of the very best the U.S. can be in the face of a crisis of historic proportions.” To learn more, please visit https://amcham.pl/corporate-aid-ukraine.

Kamau-Imani Appointed Election Integrity Chief

Sharon Macasil - Media Kamp, LLC.

In the aftermath of what can only be called a disastrous 2022 Texas Primary, the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) has created a new task force focused on Texas election integrity. Apostle Claver T. Kamau-Imani has been appointed Director of the TNM Election Integrity Task Force. Kamau-Imani’s recent post was as campaign manager for the 2022 Texas Lt. Governor candidacy of Daniel Miller. He currently serves on the TNM Advisory Board, is Chief Counsel to the President of the TNM, and chaplain. The 420,000+ members and supporters of the TNM are outraged at the conduct of the just-concluded Texas primary and the organization’s leadership team is intent on expanding its activism to include the issue of Texas election integrity. A Statement from Apostle Claver T. Kamau-Imani: “It’s very humbling and an honor to have fellow Texas-first, liberty-driven patriots continue to call on me to play critical roles in our collective activism. I want to express my gratitude to the TNM brain trust for expressing such confidence in my leadership abilities. “This is a daunting task. We must educate our members, supporters, and concerned Texans of all political stripes about the untrustworthiness of the Texas election system. The task force will achieve three objectives: continue investigation, build an election ground force through the establishment of a coalition, and construct the framework for 2023 election integrity legislation. “As of now, Texas does not have a trustworthy election system. The electorate is full of doubt about election outcomes. Until a trustworthy election system is created in Texas, the legitimacy of the Texas government will remain in question.” A statement from Daniel Miller, Founder and President of the TNM: “Over the years Claver has become an important part of our team. Post-election he has already been working on this issue, and it was a natural choice to ask him to continue his current work of investigation into what happened in the 2022 Texas Primary, but also take the lead on establishing the ultimate solution to this most-crucial component of our state governance.” Contact Details Sharon Macasil Sharon@mediakamp.com

Global employment platform Multiplier raises $60m led by Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital India

Multiplier

Multiplier, a global employment platform, that helps companies employ and pay talent anywhere in the world compliantly, has today announced a $60m Series B funding round. This round was co-led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital India with participation from DST Global Partners. The new investment brings Multiplier’s total funding to $77.2m, taking their valuation to $400m. This news comes in less than 3 months since Multiplier’s series A (led by Sequoia Capital India) and just 6 months after seed funding ( through Surge, the Sequoia Capital India start up programme) as the company scales globally. And testament to the growing popularity of the platform, Multiplier’s solution has been recognised and highly-rated in G2 and Capterra. Founded in 2020, at the peak of the pandemic, the company has been solving the problem of global employment by allowing companies to tap into global talent pools effortlessly. “The talent shortage is real and the restrictions due to the pandemic accelerated it. Businesses are finding it hard to hire people with in-demand skills and have opened themselves to the possibility of distributed teams. Meanwhile, candidates have gotten picky about their employers, the actual work, compensation, benefits, flexibility and much more. With this paradigm shift afoot, companies have recently realized that going global is the only way forward. Country borders shouldn’t hinder the search for the right people for the right roles. We are resetting the mantra that hiring people from abroad is a costly, time-consuming, and organizationally daunting effort.” said Sagar Khatri, CEO of Multiplier. Multiplier eliminates the need for organizations to establish their own legal entities to access talent in any country. Businesses that use Multiplier can focus on employing anyone, anywhere in the world in minutes. The company works with customers from across the globe today, with its roots in the Asia Pacific region. Users can manage global payroll, provide benefits, insurance and tackle compliance with ease starting at $300 per employee per month and $40 per freelancer per month. In geographies where businesses have their own entities, Multiplier is helping companies manage payroll for their employees starting at $20 per employee per month. A key focus for Multiplier is the provision of health insurance coverage, a central provision in most standard benefits packages. However, the market is flooded with intermediaries, agents and brokers, so the cost and the value offered becomes extremely important. Multiplier is the only company in the space to provide locally competitive, customizable and homogenous insurance to its customers starting at as less as $20 per employee per month which comes with a detailed factsheet to compare plans. “With this new capital, Multiplier will be able to further accelerate its work towards expanding the global infrastructure, garnering meaningful partnerships and adding new capabilities to our platform. Additionally, we are also on a hiring spree, looking for an all-star team across countries, departments and levels, helping us pivot at scale and deliver premium experiences to our customers.” added Sagar Khatri. Multiplier is doubling down its approach in terms of adding fresh capabilities to its platform. Businesses can now self-register on the platform and instantly send their candidates offer contracts in minutes, not days. They can also offer employee stock ownership plans to their employees. The team is also working on rolling out the crypto-payroll features so businesses can pay their freelancers with cryptocurrencies. John Curtius, Partner, Tiger Global commented: “Multiplier is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the massive opportunity that lies ahead for them. We’re happy to be a long term partner as they are solving a deep pain point for businesses enabling them to employ and pay global talent effortlessly. We are particularly impressed with their product velocity and the speed of execution. We believe that the future of teams is global and Multiplier will the be operating system powering those teams.” Rohit Agarwal, Principal, Sequoia India commented: "Today, founders and businesses are not constrained by borders in their thinking. This has been one of the most fascinating trends in the last couple of years and it's a fundamental shift. Several founders across Asia are building for the world from day 1 and hiring from around the world from day 1. We believe globalization of the workforce is one of the most exciting trends of the next decade and are thrilled to see Multiplier facilitate that shift seamlessly for hundreds of companies and thousands of employees." Multiplier has become the leading global employment solutions platform in a very short span, with customers across the globe from startups to listed enterprises. The founders believe that every company, regardless of location, deserves to have access to talented employees. The team is committed to democratizing global employment and its mission of bringing the world's potential to businesses of all sizes. Multiplier envisions a future in which every business is truly global.

WATER FOCUS OF UTAH’S 2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Washington County Water Conservancy District

Utah’s 2022 legislative session concluded on March 4 with a record number of water conservation bills and appropriations totaling nearly $500 million in spending. Utah Governor Spencer J. Cox is expected to sign the bills into law in the next few weeks. “Utah’s population and economy are exploding but our water supply is dwindling,” said Brian Steed, executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. “We have to protect, conserve and develop our water. Doing nothing and running out of water isn’t an option.” The bills are designed to help bolster water levels in reservoirs throughout the state by reducing demand via grass rebate programs, additional metering of secondary water and watershed enhancement efforts. Statewide water storage is at a dismal 54% of capacity. “As one of the driest and fastest-growing states in the nation, strains on Utah’s water supply threaten our ability to thrive, our recreational opportunities, our environment, and our food supply,” said Brad Wilson, speaker, Utah House of Representatives. “The actions taken this legislative session to conserve, preserve, and optimize Utah’s water resources reiterate our commitment to address current needs while preparing for the future.” Drought conditions are common throughout Utah, especially in the southwest section of the state. Washington County’s major population centers are currently dependent on one water source that has been in a drought 16 of the last 20 years. The Washington County Water Conservancy District (district) is working with its local municipal partners to pass additional water efficiency ordinances that will eliminate or reduce the amount of grass allowed in new construction and developing a more robust regional wastewater reuse system to help prevent approaching water supply shortages. “We are elevating our water conservation efforts while developing the critical infrastructure our growing community will need to survive a hotter and drier climate in the future, including a wastewater reuse system that will serve our municipal customers,” said Zach Renstrom, general manager of the district. “We have to plan for the future and all its uncertainties or we’ll run out of water.” Included in Utah’s water conservation bills are: About Washington County Water Conservancy District The Washington County Water Conservancy District is a not-for-profit public agency that oversees water resources in Washington County, UT.
