William Peace University (http://www.peace.edu), a private four-year university located in downtown Raleigh, has announced that Justin G. Roy, vice president for communications and marketing, has been named to serve on the 2013 Community Health Assessment (CHA) Steering Committee for Wake County, which identifies and evaluates factors affecting overall public health in Wake County through a comprehensive state-developed process. Conducted every four years, the CHA evaluates specific areas including behavioral and social health, economic health, environmental health, lifelong learning, physical health, and safety.
Designed in part to provide a real-life snapshot of the needs and resources of Wake County, the CHA will compile individual perspectives from community members, organizations, businesses, municipalities and other Wake County stakeholders. Data collected will come from a range of platforms, including citizen surveys, focus groups and primary data collection, and be transferred into a strategic plan that generates an overall direction for the county, hospitals and community partners to pursue.
As a member of the 2013 Community Health Assessment Steering Committee, Roy will be responsible for providing feedback on the proposed process and potential questions to be asked by participating stakeholders; outlining resources and individuals to partake in the surveys and focus groups; representing a positive and encouraging voice in an effort to further the marketing efforts being conducted among various organizations; analyzing and providing feedback on the works groups and final reporting; and presenting the final report alongside staff members to the Human Services and Environmental Services Board and the Wake County Board of Commissioners.
QUOTES:
"Year after year, Wake County is recognized across the country as one of the greatest places to live in the United States, and that is due in part to the community's ongoing commitment to improvement overall," said Debra M. Townsley, Ph.D., president of William Peace University. "We are honored to have Justin serve on the 2013 Community Health Assessment Steering Committee as he lends his time and insights to evaluating and improving the overall health of Wake County and its residents."
"The only way to keep Wake County moving forward is to assess the direction we are headed," said Roy. "The CHA is one of those critical components to ensuring that the needs of all of our citizens are being monitored. I am proud to be selected to join the 2013 CHA Steering Committee, and I look forward to serving alongside other members as we address the state of public health and grow the future of this great community."

Future Problem Solving Program International Announces Topic on International Women's Day
A Chinese saying, "Women hold up half the sky," was the inspiration for The Future Problem Solving Program International's selection of this year's topic to be used at their International Conference. FPSPI, an educational non-profit competition for students ages 10 and beyond, is announcing its topic for the International Conference on International Women's Day this year. International Women's Day was first observed in 1909, and in 1981 Congress established National Women's History Week to be commemorated the second week of March. Congress later expanded the week to a month. Events around the world will celebrate women's role in history and promote this year's theme, Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination:
Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Joining in this celebration, Future Problem Solving Program International chose March 8th, International Women's Day, to announce the International Conference topic, Global Status of Women, to their students.
Each year FPSPI students research and apply a problem solving process to a topic of international importance. At the conference students will address a futuristic scene relating to the Global Status of Women and develop a plan of action that will focus on opportunities for women world-wide while considering various governmental policies and the vast cultural and religious differences in attitudes towards women. This year's conference will welcome nearly 2,000 students from around the world at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, from June 6th through June 9th.
In addition to the Global Issues Problem Solvers who will be addressing the Global Status of Women, scenario writers will write futuristic stories projecting ideas about the topic into the future. All students who participate at the international level have competed on various other topics throughout the school year and have earned a place at the conference. The conference also features teams and individuals who have completed a year-long service project on a topic of their own choosing that aids their community, their nation, or the world in some way. These Community Problem Solvers also compete for top honors and will showcase their projects at a conference fair.
Future Problem Solving Program International was established in 1974 by Dr. E. Paul Torrance at the University of Georgia. It has since grown to include students from 42 states and 16 countries. It is difficult to say how many hundreds of thousands of students participate each year as the program reaches students who may be participating non-competitively in classrooms or after school programs using the materials to enhance curriculum, critical, and creative thinking. Future Problem Solving Program International may be contacted at their website http://www.fpspi.org or on Facebook.
