1/18/2023 | (Webinar) The Business Sector Role in Solving the Child Care Crisis: Opportunities & Success Stories REGISTER at: tinyurl.com/3ht9pa5w
Description: Child care has come to the forefront of major concerns for employers as their workforce faces the challenges of insufficient child care availability and lack of affordability. This impacts both hiring and retention. Business needs and the child care crisis go hand in hand: Businesses can’t succeed without productive employees, and parents can’t maintain their jobs or succeed at work without a robust early childhood system to help their families.
This ReadyNation webinar will explore how businesses can respond, keying on the example of Effingham County, in south central Illinois. Hear about the efforts of Stevens Industries, a local manufacturing firm, to open an on-site child care center and the wider work of Effingham County civic leaders, business execs, and service providers to address their community’s need for more child care.
Speakers from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation will join this discussion about concrete opportunities for businesses, and some of the limitations and challenges involved — as well as the significance of business leaders in helping to raise awareness about the importance of broader, public investments in child care and early childhood education.

1/26/2023 | The James Gregory show turns the clock back to a time when life was simpler; to a better time, before the death of common sense; a time when people sat on the front porch and actually talked to each other without a cell phone in their ear. James’ success, like his comedy, is the direct result of the values he grew up with. And now, twenty something years later, it is this unique brand of humor that packs the crowds into his sold-out shows. The absence of vulgarity sets James apart and his stories are carefully crafted art. “I have lived long enough to know people, know life”, Gregory reflects. “My comedy is based on my life experiences. It’s real, it’s funny and the audience loves it. That’s why I’m still in business.” For decades, the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian James Gregory has stood grinning: his shirt untucked, his arms outstretched, a carefree welcome to a down-home, hilarious comedy experience. It’s storytelling at its best. The trademark caricature is the essence of humorist James Gregory’s comedy: rib-tickling reflections on life from the front porch. more info... | |||||||||||||
