LJA is proud to be involved in the planning and design of Angel Reach’s Transitional Living Center, a new neighborhood in Conroe, Texas

LJA Enginering is proud to be involved in the planning and design of Angel Reach's Transitional Living Center, a new neighborhood in Conroe, Texas.

Each year 200-300 youth age out of foster care in the greater Houston area. Angel Reach is a non-profit organization that helps youth who have aged out of the foster care system and are homeless between the ages of 16-24, many times involved in illegal activities such as gangs, drugs, or human trafficking. Angel Reach brings them into group homes and teaches them life skills, gives counseling, and helps them earn their GED and driver's license and find suitable jobs. Angel Reach provides them with two years of support to take the next steps towards an independent life, until they can move into their own apartment.

"This is one of those jobs we do for the passion. It started with several group homes in the Conroe area, and we are helping Angel Reach to develop a vision for a neighborhood that can house as many as 100 young adults, and expand their services. The neighborhood land plan has a Main Street with housing on either side and an additional community building for counseling, training, and group gatherings. We have worked with the team to create a design that The City of Conroe can support. Current funding comes from United Way, grants, and direct fundraisers like the one we recently attended." ~Jim Wendt, Director of Planning, LJA Engineering

"We have been working with Angel Reach for several years, and it is finally beginning to take off. We have received the City of Conroe's approval to move forward with the plan, and I am working on the engineering. The builder, Tom Cox with Gracepoint, is doing the heavy lifting and encouraging other builders to donate one or two units to start the first phase. We hope to pull building permits soon." ~Vince Salazar, Vice President, LJA Engineering

"LJA has a long tradition of hands-on commitment to worthwhile efforts like Angel Reach, enhancing their lives and our own communities. We are excited about the momentum and grateful to bring our resources and talent to Angel Reach. Our planning and civil engineering designs make a difference for these kids, and for us." ~Donnie Reed, Vice President, LJA Engineering
We invite you to join LJA in this effort! For more information, please visit http://angelreach.org/

Leading Real Estate Giant Ananda Partners with CX Brand CloudCherry for CX Strategy

New age CEM software solution, CloudCherry, declared that they have partnered with the leading real estate developers, Ananda and plan to create a solid CX plan for Ananda's customers in the near future. They will be using CloudCherry's CEM platform to analyze their customer's journey across various touchpoints and map them accordingly to create better customer engagement.

A brief history about Ananda.

Ananda is the biggest real estate developer in Thailand and the demand has been steadily increasing. They can no longer keep track of customers on spreadsheets and would like to run a full-fledged program that can give them a better track of a customer across his entire journey from visiting the model house to handover.

CloudCherry's highly effective CEM platform allows Ananda to move away from manual/spreadsheet reports – which is an extremely long and tiring process. It enables Ananda to gather feedback along with NPS and map-out their customer journeys accordingly on a real-time basis. Getting the Net Promoter Score makes 'Customer Journey Mapping' much easier on Ananda's part and resolve any issues at the earliest. Read this here.

A quote from the Chief Customer Officer of Ananda: "we are happy to partner with CloudCherry. They showed commitment and dedication to our use case for customer journey mapping and we look forward to our CX program with them."- Carmen Lam, CCO Ananda

A Better Way to “Talk” to Teens in Crisis? Child Abuse Nonprofit Childhelp Leads the Way with New Text and Online Chat Platform for Nationwide Abuse Hotline

A national nonprofit focused on the treatment and prevention of child abuse is leading the way to help youth and families in need with an innovative new platform to connect them with trained professional counselors.

On Monday, Childhelp will launch the final phase of its nationwide initiative to reach youth in crisis by adding online chat services to its recently launched text platform. Now, both text and online chat services will be available 24/7 throughout the U.S. and Canada as part of the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline.

"We are here to save lives," Childhelp Hotline Director Michelle Fingerman said. "To do that, we have to connect with youth using the ways they are most likely to reach out for help, in the exact moment they need that help."

Early numbers strongly indicate the new Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline services are working to reach young people who exceedingly prefer text and chat as opposed to phone conversations, even in a crisis. Initial results show that while 90 percent of calls to the Hotline are from adults, 85 to 90 percent of those using the new text platform are under 18 years old.

In early testing, Childhelp found that it can take nearly an hour on average to establish the same type of vital information that can be established in mere minutes in a phone call. Childhelp counselors have created new protocols to better and more rapidly serve young people in need.

The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline has serviced more than 2.5 million calls over the last two decades. Trained counselors are available 24/7 in more than 170 languages to respond to any calls related to reporting abuse, abuse indicators and signs, and local resources for families and victims.

The initiative is made possible thanks to a new private-public partnership and $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children. The grant will also allow Childhelp to study the service alongside Arizona State University's Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center to improve the future of the hotline and set the standard for other hotline servicers across the globe.

This year, Childhelp is celebrating 60 years and 10 and a half million children served since former Hollywood actresses Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson first created the organization to serve young people in need.

"We have always believed our work is never done until the silent epidemic in this country of five children dying every day from abuse has fully ended," Childhelp Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO Sara O'Meara said. Childhelp Co-Founder, President and Vice-Chairman Yvonne Fedderson added, "Until then, we continue to work tirelessly to empower and provide new hope to children, showing them that they're worthy of love despite whatever circumstance they are currently experiencing." Be alert to the latest news.

"Childhelp's wide array of national programs prove that the right combination of effective treatment and prevention can break the vicious cycle of abuse that often repeats from generation to generation," notes Childhelp National Spokesperson and Vice President of Public Affairs Rebecca Cooper.

In working with Childhelp to bring a spotlight to the new hotline services, John Stamos – beloved actor and Childhelp supporter for more than three decades – accepted the role as Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline Spokersperson. "I've had an affinity toward children since early on," Stamos told E! News in an interview announcing his role as spokesman last November. "I might as well do something good with it."

Power Equipment Direct Reveals the Best Lawn and Garden Equipment of 2019

Just in time for spring Power Equipment Direct is proud to announce its comprehensive, highly anticipated lists of the best lawn mowers, tillers, and string trimmers on the market this season for each of its niche sites.

Click here to read the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/author-sb-white-has-released-latest-ya.html

With almost 450 lawn and garden products available and over 23,000 reviews of those products shared by its customers, the online retailer prides itself on offering valuable information in addition to top-of-the-line equipment.

What distinguishes the ratings on Power Equipment Direct from those on other retail sites is the use of a proprietary algorithm that assigns each item a letter grade based on consumer feedback.

"Take a look at any home improvement store or website at the start of spring, and you'll see right away how many products are out there. It's overwhelming," says Jake Woltman, product expert for Mowers Direct and Tillers Direct. "Our goal is to rate every product – whether it's a lawn mower, a garden tiller, or a string trimmer – in a clear way that helps customers find exactly what they're looking for."

According to Woltman, three distinct factors make each niche website's ratings the most reliable resources available:

1. Three Lists for Every Category

For every category of product on its site, Power Equipment Direct sorts its products into three lists:

"Sometimes there's some overlap from one list to the next, and sometimes not," Woltman says. "The point is that these lists help customers shop based on the factors they find most important." Altogether, he says, the lists show customers the best products the company can offer.

2. Real-Time Updates More info here.

Due to the proprietary algorithm, the ratings and grades that customers see for Power Equipment Direct's products are always current up to the minute.

"The grades and ratings are updated constantly based on the feedback that users leave," Woltman explains. "That means that visitors to our site are always seeing current information and making their decisions based on the best information we have available." Be alert to the latest news.

3. Free Access

Unlike other retail websites that require subscriptions or memberships to receive buying advice, String Trimmers Direct helps its customers select the right pieces of lawn and garden equipment by making its lists free and available to the public.

"Buying technical products is supposed to be simple," Woltman says. "When you have all the information right in front of you the moment you're ready to buy, it's easy to find just what your need to make your lawn or garden look great."
