SiO2 Materials Science today announced the Board of Directors has appointed Yves Steffen as CEO effective Aug. 1, 2022.
Yves brings very valuable customer experience along with high personal values and leadership skills to take the company to the next level. Yves Steffen is a graduate of FHBB and has more than 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry in various positions. His career started at Cilag AG (a Johnson&Johnson company) as a Project Engineer, where he was responsible for the installation, qualification and validation of aseptic filling, visual inspection and packaging lines. In 2006, he moved to Novartis, where he was initially responsible for technical services at the manufacturing site in Switzerland and then took on a role responsible for product transfers and launches of biopharmaceuticals. In 2014, he established a device and packaging commercialization group at Novartis, first for biosimilars and later for biologics.

We wish Yves the best of success in his new role."
"I'm incredibly excited to lead SiO2 through the next phase of commercialization and growth," said Mr. Steffen, "The drug packaging industry has been slow to innovate for the past 100 years and there is a tremendous need in the market for a next-generation packaging solution that can support the next generation of drugs being developed.

Sportsbet.io & Southampton FC Open New ‘Saints Social Club’ Funded by Crypto Fan Fund
Southampton Football Club and Main Club Partner Sportsbet.io have today announced the opening of the 'Saints Social Club' at the Northam Social Club, funded by a first-of-its-kind Crypto Fan Fund.
Chosen by the fans, the Saints Social Club is the ultimate Southampton fan bar, featuring artwork, kits, and memorabilia celebrating the club's illustrious 136-year history. True to their 'Saints' moniker, the designs also include stunning stained-glass artwork of Southampton heroes, past and present, including James Ward-Prowse, Alan Shearer, and Nathan Redmond.
The launch was marked by an all-day event during Southampton's home fixture against Manchester United and featured a panel with Southampton FC legends Nigel Adkins and Francis Benali, as well as a live performance from the Saints Brass band.
The Saints Social Club will remain open throughout the season for all Southampton fans to enjoy, and will also be used to host additional community events for the Saints Foundation. Fans will be given a Saints Social Club card upon their first visit to Northam, which will get them access to all future events, including every Southampton FC matchday.
Southampton fans abroad will also have the chance to join the Saints Social Club, through the magic of VR. Following the launch, headsets will be donated to dedicated Southampton superfans in countries across the world. Filmed at Northam during the United fixture, the headset will allow international fans to experience the atmosphere of a Southampton matchday and feel part of the Saints family.
Sarah Batters, Director of Marketing & Partnerships at Southampton FC, said:
"It's been brilliant to work in close collaboration with the representatives of our Saints Voice panel and to find out what really matters to them in order to bring the best matchday experiences for our fans. The new Saints Social Club will provide a wonderful opportunity to bring our fans together and act as a real focal point for our local community."
Sportsbet.io launched the Crypto Fan Fund in November, donating two Bitcoins to be used for a fan-led initiative. The Club and Sportsbet.io worked with leading supporters' group, Saints Voice, to decide how the donation would be spent, with fans voting in March to turn Northam - just a stone's throw from St. Mary's Stadium - into a dedicated Southampton FC fan pub.
Helen Edwards, Head of Responsible Gambling at Sportsbet.io, said:
"It's been a privilege to work with Saints Voice and the Southampton fans throughout this process, and we're so excited to see the Saints Social Club come to fruition this summer. Through the Crypto Fan Fund, we wanted to show how crypto can be used to genuinely support fans and help them deliver the initiatives that they want to see, and with the help of Southampton FC and Saints Voice, we're delighted to have been able to do exactly that."
The donation consolidates Sportsbet.io's ongoing commitment as the main club sponsor of Southampton Football Club, and as a leader in the crypto community. The initiative is part of Sportsbet.io's 'Believe the Hype' campaign, encouraging Saints to believe the hype around their club, and around cryptocurrency.

#ResponderReadiness - Farmington, NM
FirstNet and First H.E.L.P. have teamed up with Guardian Initiatives and the San Juan County Sheriff's Office for a series of #ResponderReadiness Workshops
First H.E.L.P. and FirstNet®, Built with AT&T, have teamed up to provide first responders in communities throughout New Mexico with world-class mental health training through First H.E.L.P.'s #ResponderReadiness Workshop Series.
September 6-8 Guardian Initiatives and the San Juan County Sheriff's Office will host First H.E.L.P. for a series of Mental Health and Wellness Workshops for area First Responders. First H.E.L.P. will provide two 4-hour #ResponderReadiness Workshops where participants explore the impact that operational stress and trauma has on their careers and families. They will use scenario-based training to practice difficult conversations about mental health and suicide prevention and they learn to practice First H.E.L.P.'s R.A.N.G.E. of Resilience. In addition to the two #ResponderReadiness workshops, there is a 4-hour #SupervisorReadiness Workshop for managers and a 4-hour #ProviderReadiness Workshop for area Mental Health Providers who serve First Responders.
According to First H.E.L.P.'s Executive Director and Co-Founder, Steven Hough, "Mental preparedness is always at the forefront for first responders; 1st H.E.L.P. provides essential information allowing these professionals to maintain optimal balance between the community they represent, the agency they work with, and most importantly, the family at home."
AT&T is working to ease the burden for communities by providing high-quality training to New Mexico's first responders at no cost. FirstNet is the only nationwide, high-speed broadband communications platform dedicated to and purpose-built for America's first responders and the extended public safety community. Shaped by the vision of Congress and the first responder community following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, FirstNet is built with AT&T in public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority, an independent agency within the federal government.
"AT&T's commitment to our public safety community goes beyond our FirstNet network connectivity," said Dr. Anna Courie, DPN, RN, PHNA-BC, Director, Responder Wellness, FirstNet Program at AT&T. "We are dedicated to working with First H.E.L.P. to bring mental health resources to first responders across the country—especially in rural areas with limited access. This program with First H.E.L.P. will better equip first responders mentally and physically and help our public safety community stay safer."
The training program reinforces the strategic priorities established by the FirstNet Health and Wellness Coalition (FNHWC) to support first responders and their families. The mission of the FNHWC is to integrate responder, community, industry, and academic capabilities to support the health, wellness, and readiness of American first responders.

New York-Based Field Marketing Organization CareValue Acquired by Alliant with Senior Market Sales®
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - September 1, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
CareValue, a rapidly growing national field marketing organization (FMO) based in Canandaigua, New York, and specializing in senior life and health insurance, has been acquired by Alliant with Senior Market Sales® (SMS) — one of the industry's premier insurance marketing organizations.
SMS President Jim Summers said CareValue's technology platform, its success as a market leader serving independent insurance agents, and its impressive growth attracted SMS as it continues to grow through strategic acquisitions. CareValue ranked No. 69 on Inc. Magazine's list of the fastest-growing private companies in the New York City metro region in 2021.
"CareValue's technology stack when combined with SMS's proprietary technology will give SMS-contracted agents a major advantage in today's marketplace," Summers said.
CareValue has invested heavily in the development of proprietary technology for agents. For example, the company provides the only FMO-offered State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (SPAP) solution in the marketplace that allows agents to help their clients apply for assistance in paying their prescription drugs and/or Part D premiums digitally instead of by the more cumbersome methods of fax or mail. This digital enrollment process triggers a special election period (SEP) for Medicare eligibles, enabling them to enroll year-round.
"Formalizing this partnership with SMS through an acquisition will fuel further growth and ensure long-term success in our markets," said CareValue President Brian Doyle. "By extension of SMS, we're also excited to join the Alliant family. Together, we're bigger, better, stronger."
Doyle has been in the insurance industry since 1996, he founded CareValue in 2010, and since 2013 has partnered with SMS. CareValue has leveraged SMS's industry-leading back-office support, proven marketing systems, and top health and wealth carrier product portfolio.
The decision to join SMS, Doyle said, was based on Alliant and SMS's ability to provide additional infrastructure and support that will help CareValue springboard into new territory and ensure long-term growth, as well as focus even more on agents to provide operational and customer service excellence. Specifically, CareValue was attracted to Alliant Insurance Services, which opens commercial and group insurance markets to CareValue's agents, and SMS's new revolutionary Client Stream® Lead Exchange lead-generation platform. In 2020, SMS joined the Alliant family of businesses, which now collectively is one of the largest insurance brokers in the United States. Alliant was recently honored as a winner in the 2022 Fast Brokerage Listing with 9,000 employees, $3 billion in revenue, and more than $26 billion in premiums. In 2022, Alliant also moved up two spots to #8 on the list of Largest Brokers of U.S. Business.
Additional reasons for partnering with SMS, Doyle said, include SMS's history of successful acquisitions and SMS's integrity — acting as it promises and passionately serving agents and their clients.
Summers said that the two companies' alignment of values was critical to the partnership, just as it has been to all of SMS's acquisitions.
"In today's hyper-competitive acquisition environment, SMS continues to stand out for our commitment to the agent and their client," Summers said. "We look forward to growing even more by staying focused on our values and partnering with companies who share those values."

CareValue is a leader in innovative Medicare shopping and enrollment solutions. CareValue offers a suite of technology solutions to support independent agents, agencies, National Marketing Organizations (NMO), and Field Marketing Organizations (FMO). CareValue is actively engaging in contractual agreements in the Senior Insurance Market.

More than 70,000 independent insurance agents rely on SMS for proprietary technology, competitive insurance products, and expert training and service to help them leverage their time, make more money, and put their business in a position of distinction. Founded in 1982, SMS is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. In 2020, SMS joined the Alliant Insurance Services family of companies.
