    Common Ground Consulting Partners with ‘Dr. Mentor’ to Support Mentoring Programs Nationwide

    77 years of combined expertise are now available to corporate, association, and youth mentoring programs

    Programs struggle because their designs don’t align with the conditions participants face. When you prepare mentors and mentees, build proper supports, and monitor quality… positive outcomes follow.”
    — Dr. Susan G. Weinberger (aka “Dr. Mentor”)

    WASHINGTON, DC, DC, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Common Ground Consulting LLC has partnered with Dr. Susan G. Weinberger, founder of Mentor Consulting Group and the architect of America’s first school-based mentoring program, to offer a full suite of mentoring program design, training, and evaluation services.

    The partnership pairs two of the field’s most experienced practitioners. Dr. Weinberger, widely known as “Dr. Mentor,” pioneered school-based mentoring in Norwalk, Connecticut, in the early 1980s, creating a model replicated nationwide. Craig Bowman, President of Common Ground Consulting, brings more than three decades of leadership development experience across 35 countries. Together, they offer organizations something rare: deep expertise in both program design and real-world implementation.

    The team serves corporations building leadership pipelines and knowledge transfer programs, professional associations creating member development pathways, and youth-serving organizations designing safe, sustainable mentoring initiatives for young people. Services include program design and marketing, mentor and mentee training, evaluation, and quality assurance strategies.

    The partnership also addresses one of mentoring’s most persistent challenges: sustainability.

    Too many programs close or cut back when initial funding runs out. The team helps organizations build diversified fundraising strategies, including individual donor cultivation, that keep programs strong for the long term.

    “Most mentoring programs don’t struggle because people don’t care,” said Dr. Weinberger. “Mentoring programs struggle because their designs don’t align with the real conditions participants face. When you prepare both mentors and mentees, build the proper supports, and monitor quality, mentoring becomes reliable, and positive outcomes follow.”

    “Good intentions launch mentoring programs. Solid infrastructure sustains them,” said Bowman. “Clear expectations, quality training, ongoing support, and accountability. That’s what keeps matches from quietly fading.”

    The team is currently completing design and launch support for a new mentoring program with the DC Metropolitan Police Department. Between them, Weinberger and Bowman have worked on hundreds of mentoring initiatives over their careers and have partnered on many of them over the past 25 years. Their clients have ranged from national organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, YouthBuild, and MENTOR, to federal agencies including the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Department of Education, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to corporate programs like the California Water Environment Association, and local programs such as the Buddy Program and Soccer Without Borders.

    The announcement coincides with National Mentoring Month, observed each January since 2002 to expand access to mentoring relationships for young people.

    Research shows mentoring works. Young people with mentors are 55% more likely to enroll in college, 78% more likely to volunteer regularly, and more than twice as likely to hold leadership positions. Yet one in three young people in the United States will grow up without a mentor.

    Corporate mentoring delivers powerful results as well. According to a CNBC/SurveyMonkey study, 91% of workers with mentors report being satisfied with their jobs, compared to significantly lower satisfaction among those without mentors. Gallup research shows employees with mentors are twice as likely to be engaged at work as those without.

    Dr. Weinberger and Bowman are available for media interviews on mentoring trends, program effectiveness, and the state of mentoring in the United States.

    Founded by Dr. Susan G. Weinberger in 1998, the Mentor Consulting Group provides consulting, training, and program development services for mentoring initiatives nationwide. Dr. Weinberger’s work has shaped mentoring practice for the past four decades.

    Founded by Craig A. Bowman in 2007, Common Ground Consulting helps mission-driven organizations strengthen strategy, leadership, and impact. The firm combines global experience with a deep understanding of the U.S. nonprofit ecosystem. Its new AI-enhanced approach accelerates strategic planning, builds organizational resilience, and demonstrates what responsible human + AI partnership can achieve.

  • Human Element Integrates Karmak ERP With BigCommerce for U.S. Trailer Parts

    Human Element Integrates Karmak ERP With BigCommerce for U.S. Trailer Parts

    The Human Element team supported us throughout the process and continues to work alongside us post-launch to ensure all our needs are met. We look forward to working more with them in the future.”
    — Stephen Smith, US Trailer Parts and Supply

    ANN ARBOR, MI, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Human Element is pleased to announce that it has successfully integrated an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for U.S. Trailer Parts with its eCommerce website. Karmak Fusion, the leading ERP for the commercial trucking industry, was successfully integrated with BigCommerce, a leading eCommerce platform.

    In 2023, U.S. Trailer Parts was acquired by Hinton Transportation Investments. The change in ownership created the need to transition from their existing ERP system to Karmak Fusion.

    Integrating an ERP with an eCommerce platform streamlines operations by centralizing real-time data across inventory, order processing, and financial management. This unified system enhances efficiency, minimizes errors, and improves customer satisfaction while enabling smarter, data-driven decisions. Additionally, the integration supports business scalability, lowers operational costs, and establishes a strong foundation for seamless omnichannel experiences.

    “We are pleased to have partnered with Human Element for our ERP integration. This collaboration will help us continue to strive in our market as we transition to our new ERP system,” said Stephen Smith, systems analyst with US Trailer Parts and Supply and Pace Transportation Services. “The Human Element team supported us throughout the process and continues to work alongside us post-launch to ensure all our needs are met. We look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future.”

    The team at Human Element, which is experienced in Karmak eCommerce integrations, found the process of working with BigCommerce straightforward.

    “The technical implementation of our Karmak to BigCommerce connector service layer was significantly streamlined because both platforms were so easy to work with. BigCommerce’s consistent admin styling made building a logging GUI directly into our service layer platform exceptionally straightforward, while the Karmak API’s excellent documentation ensured equally seamless integration,” said Kevin Gardner, development manager / technical team lead for implementation at Human Element. “Working with both platforms to enable the client to communicate from the eCommerce platform to their ERP effectively was a great experience.”

  • Richard Hirschhaut Joins Jewish National Fund-USA as National Campaign Director for the West Coast and Mountain States

    Richard Hirschhaut Joins Jewish National Fund-USA as National Campaign Director for the West Coast and Mountain States

    Longtime Fundraiser Excited to Continue Efforts to Inspire Support For the Land and People of Israel

    There is no organization better positioned to partner in Israel’s national healing and rebuilding than Jewish National Fund-USA”
    — Richard Hirschhaut

    LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Jewish National Fund-USA is pleased to announce that longtime community leader and Israel advocate Richard Hirschhaut has joined the most trusted organization in Jewish philanthropy as its new National Campaign Director for the West Coast and Mountain States.

    Hirschhaut brings decades of experience in strengthening the connection between Israel and Jewish communities across North America. As a respected strategist and storyteller, he has worked at the intersection of philanthropy, communal engagement, and Israel education.

    “Since spending my junior year of college in Israel, I’ve carried a lifelong commitment to advocating for a vibrant and secure Jewish homeland,” said Hirschhaut. “That experience sparked something enduring within me. I have presented Israel through multiple lenses—humanitarian, cultural, educational, and medical—while leading missions and developing collaborative projects for philanthropists and community partners. This advocacy has never been more urgent since October 7.”

    As Jewish National Fund-USA continues to spearhead bold initiatives supporting Israel’s rebuilding and long-term growth—particularly in the country’s North and South—Hirschhaut emphasized that this moment presents a renewed opportunity for American Jews to deepen their connection to Israelis building new lives.

    “As Israel turns to healing and rebuilding in the aftermath of October 7, this is a moment for American Jews to redouble their investment in Israel’s future,” he said. “The shared pain and trauma of the last two years only reinforce the inextricable bond between American Jews and our Israeli brothers and sisters. We are one family, and our futures are forever intertwined. Let us rebuild together.”

    Across Israel’s North and South, Jewish National Fund-USA is driving transformative change through its visionary circles of impact strategy—where every project, program, and initiative creates ripple effects that lead to greater population growth, economic opportunity, and stronger regions.

    From developing new communities and housing sites to investing in environmental sustainability, to supporting people with disabilities, preserving heritage sites, and connecting thousands of students and young adults to Israel each year, the organization’s holistic approach ensures that every philanthropic dollar strengthens the fabric of Israeli society. Hirschhaut’s appointment comes as Jewish National Fund-USA expands its philanthropic reach and impact through its One Million Voices for Israel campaign, where the organization plans to inspire one million donors over the coming years. His leadership will support efforts to mobilize donors, empower communities, and grow support for the organization’s visionary initiatives—efforts that continue to fortify Israel’s social, economic, and communal resilience.

    “My association with Rick goes back more than twenty years, when he was leading the Midwest office of the Anti-Defamation League,” said Rick Krosnick, Jewish National Fund-USA chief development officer. “Later, when Rick was tapped to be the founding Executive Director of the Illinois Holocaust Museum, I watched with admiration as he not only built a fundraising campaign from the ground up but also built a staff and developed a strategic plan in partnership with a strong leadership team.”

    Krosnick added, “Rick is a high-character professional who invests significant energy in relationship building and staff development. During his career he has established himself as a prolific major gifts fundraiser, who develops trust and partnership with philanthropists to help them achieve their charitable goals. I look forward to Rick’s leadership with Jewish National Fund-USA to help our great team of professional fundraisers and volunteer ambassadors share our strategic vision of building a strong and vibrant Israel.”

    Leveraging its 125 years of impact, Jewish National Fund-USA is also developing the most livable towns and cities in frontier communities to attract 800,000 new residents; creating a lifelong continuum of Zionist education through travel, learning, and leadership; and establishing the World Zionist Village in Be’er Sheva, a global hub for connection and peoplehood. With donor recognition and legacy giving at its core, supporters ensure their values and impact endure—yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

    “There is no organization better positioned to partner in Israel’s national healing and rebuilding than Jewish National Fund-USA,” Hirschhaut added. “As an unwavering ally in strengthening our Jewish homeland, the organization’s visionary leadership is needed now more than ever. Having devoted my career to advocating for a secure and vibrant Israel—especially these last two painful years—I could not be more excited to be joining one of the most relevant and effective Jewish organizations at this crucial moment in our history.”

    To contact Rick Hirschhaut, email rhirschhaut@jnf.org or call 323-964-1400, ext. 970

  • Global Colon Cancer Association Launches Biomarker Testing Campaign at ASCO GI

    Global Colon Cancer Association Launches Biomarker Testing Campaign at ASCO GI

    New global initiative urges patients and clinicians to wait for biomarker testing results before starting
    treatment.

    ASCO GI is a great opportunity to share the campaign and get these patient stories and educational materials into hands where they will make a difference.”
    — Nicole Sheahan

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — New global initiative urges patients and clinicians to wait for biomarker testing results before starting treatment.

    The Global Colon Cancer Association is launching a new biomarker testing education and awareness campaign at the Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Part of GCCA’s Know Your Biomarker program, Knowing Is Worth the Wait is a global campaign focused on addressing critical gaps in colorectal cancer care: the suboptimal uptake of indicated biomarker testing, and the tendency to begin treatment before receiving biomarker test results. GCCA’s President, Nicole Sheahan, said, “This initiative empowers patients to pause, ask the right questions, and ensure they receive the most effective treatment possible. As the healthcare community, patient advocacy organizations, and industry representatives gather to learn the latest scientific data, ASCO GI is a great opportunity to share the campaign and get these patient stories and educational materials into hands where they will make a difference.” Beyond the ASCO GI conference, Knowing Is Worth the Wait will be available for use all over the world at KnowYourBiomarker.org/Wait.

    Background

    Patients are missing critical opportunities to receive the most effective, personalized care. A 2023 study revealed that U.S. oncologists in rural areas report ordering rates of 56-72% for 5 guideline-recommended biomarkers in metastatic colorectal cancer (The Oncologist, 2023). Recently, a large cohort study found that more than 60% of colorectal cancer patients had no evidence of biomarker testing before first-line treatment began (JAMA Network Open, 2025).

    The natural inclination is to act immediately, especially in the face of the anxiety that accompanies a new diagnosis. People often believe that starting treatment right away gives the best chance of survival. This sense of urgency affects not just patients, but caregivers and healthcare providers too. However, acting without biomarker results can mean missing the chance for more effective, targeted therapies that are tailored to the biology of the tumor, or the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial. When it comes to colorectal cancer, waiting for the right information isn’t hesitation, it’s precision.

    Through clear, compassionate messaging and practical tools, Knowing Is Worth the Wait helps patients understand that a short delay in treatment can lead to better, more personalized options based on their tumor biology.
    With plain-language educational materials, infographics, and an easy to use and share webpage that brings it all together, Knowing Is Worth the Wait empowers patients to ask for biomarker testing and wait for results with confidence. Stories from patients like Troy, for whom biomarker testing prevented fatal drug toxicity, and Dan, whose biomarker testing led him to choose preventive total proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy, highlight the power of acting with information, and emphasize that biomarker testing and waiting for results is not a lack of treatment, it is part of treatment. Troy says, “You need to educate yourself, learning all you can about your disease and what’s going on. Knowing your cancer is critical.”

    At ASCO GI, visit Booth #46 where GCCA will be showcasing the campaign, distributing free CRC biomarker educational materials, communication tools for patients and providers, and in-clinic biomarker resources. GCCA will also be inviting attendees to test their biomarker expertise by taking the CRC Biomarker IQ Quiz. Take the quiz online at KnowYourBiomarker.org/Wait.

    Know Your Biomarker is an awareness, education, and advocacy program promoting global access to colorectal cancer biomarker testing. To learn more, please visit KnowYourBiomarker.org.

    Sponsorship

    Knowing Is Worth the Wait was made possible with support from Johnson & Johnson and Amgen.

    About GCCA
    The Global Colon Cancer Association (GCCA) advocates for equitable access to quality colorectal cancer screenings, testing, treatments, and care, because where you live should not determine whether you can prevent or survive colorectal cancer. As both a membership-based umbrella organization and a direct patient advocacy organization, GCCA works toward this goal by amplifying and supporting the efforts of our member organizations, by developing adaptable advocacy and educational materials for our members, and by conducting our own advocacy, education, and initiatives that ensure patients are at the heart of all policy discussions.

  • Franchise Business Review Announces the Top 200 Franchises of 2026

    Franchise Business Review Announces the Top 200 Franchises of 2026

    Franchise Business Review determines the best franchises to own in 2026 based on franchisee satisfaction data.

    Our Top 200 Franchises list is an essential resource for those considering franchise ownership. By surveying thousands of franchisees, we deliver the data buyers need to make informed decisions.”
    — Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review

    PORTSMOUTH, NH, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Independent market research firm Franchise Business Review (FBR) has announced its Top 200 Franchises for 2026. This highly anticipated annual ranking highlights the best franchise opportunities available, based entirely on franchisee satisfaction ratings reported by actual franchise owners.

    Franchise Business Review simplifies the complexity of franchise research by surveying franchise owners who respond anonymously to 33 key questions covering franchise culture, training and support, financial performance, work-life balance, day-to-day operations, profitability, and more. For the 2026 rankings, FBR surveyed more than 36,000 franchisees representing over 330 leading franchise brands to identify the Top 200 Franchises.

    The results of this research generate a Franchisee Satisfaction Index (FSI) score for each brand surveyed. Established by Franchise Business Review in 2007, FSI is the industry benchmark for measuring and tracking the overall health of a franchise system over time. The score reflects franchisee satisfaction and engagement across the most critical drivers of franchise success and serves as a powerful tool for evaluating franchise systems, monitoring operational performance, and identifying long-term growth potential.

    While not all franchise brands choose to participate in this level of independent assessment, those that do provide prospective investors with valuable, transparent insights into the franchise ownership experience.

    “At Franchise Business Review, our goal is to guide entrepreneurs through their franchise research by spotlighting brands that offer not only strong business opportunities, but also consistently earn high satisfaction ratings from their franchise owners,” said Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review. “Our annual Top 200 Franchises list is an essential due diligence resource for anyone considering franchise ownership. Franchising can provide a path to business ownership without starting from scratch, but no investment is without risk. By surveying thousands of franchisees each year, we deliver the data and insights buyers need to make more informed decisions.”

    Muze Health Launches Verify Muze, a Comprehensive Software Platform for Medicaid Work Requirements

    The human-centered, AI-driven platform enables Medicaid members and administrators to meet H.R.1 work and community engagement requirements.

    WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Muze Health today announced the launch of Verify Muze, a comprehensive software platform designed to help state Medicaid agencies and Medicaid members efficiently manage Medicaid work and community engagement requirements. Verify Muze streamlines eligibility verification, reporting, compliance monitoring, and member support through a secure, user-centered digital experience.

    As Medicaid programs nationwide explore work and community engagement requirements, agencies face increasing operational complexity, data fragmentation, and administrative burden. Verify Muze addresses these challenges with an end-to-end platform that integrates verification workflows, document submission, real-time data validation, automated reporting, and member communications—reducing errors while improving transparency and access.

    “Verify Muze was built to solve a real operational problem we kept seeing across Medicaid programs,” said Maria Perrin, co-founder of Muze Health. “States need tools that are accurate, flexible, and humane. Verify Muze helps administrators meet federal and state requirements while minimizing disruption for members.”

    Verify Muze was developed by a team of Medicaid experts, each with decades of experience operating and building Medicaid systems and solutions. The platform supports multiple pathways to compliance, including employment, education, training, caregiving, and other exemptions. Verify Muze is designed to integrate with existing eligibility and Medicaid management systems, reducing duplication and enabling faster implementation without costly overhauls.

    “Too often, policy goals fail because the technology behind them isn’t built for real people,” said Lauren Rizzo, co-founder of Muze Health. “Verify Muze provides AI-enabled workflows for Medicaid members, caseworkers, and administrators. It simplifies compliance for agencies while giving individuals clear, accessible ways to understand and meet requirements—or document exemptions.”

    Key features of Verify Muze include:
    Integrates with Medicaid eligibility, SNAP, and other trusted data sources
    Automated verification and documentation workflows
    AI-driven document parsing and confidence scoring
    Real-time member status and utilization dashboards
    Mobile-friendly member portals and multi-channel communications
    Push-button, audit-ready reporting
    Configurable rules to adapt to changing federal and state guidance
    Privacy-first architecture designed for sensitive health and employment data

    Verify Muze is now available to state agencies, managed care organizations, and partners seeking scalable, compliant solutions for Medicaid work requirements.
