About the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission

CHRC was established in November of 1943 and was called The Mayor’s Friendly Relations Committee. The goal was to appoint a committee that represented various racial, industrial and religious groups to make sure all groups felt a part of their communities and supported one another in the city of Cincinnati. As time passed the name was changed to CHRC and the mission grew to target a much larger issue, discrimination. Thus, our mission is “to help our community to overcome prejudice and discrimination, build mutual respect and understanding, and to become more harmonious and cohesive.”

For 70 years, CHRC has provided middle ground for people who feel they have no voice and are unable to stand up for themselves. We investigate complaints alleging acts of discrimination in areas of housing, employment, and public accommodations or services; and evaluate cases to determine if the law has been violated. We then refer those cases to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, Housing Opportunities Made Equal, or other appropriate organizations. CHRC also investigate alleged acts of bias, hate crimes, and ethnic intimidation, and collaborate with other organizations to diffuse tensions in the community, including conducting mediation and intervention services.

We also provide Community Outreach Advocates for CIRV with hopes of engaging group/gang members & assist them with “turning their lives around.” We organize and host forums and events which encourage open dialogue around issues of prejudice and discrimination to eliminate social distance. We give underrepresented groups a voice through our Youth Services Programming, Fatherhood Initiative & Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services Mentoring partnership. We also provide training and workshops in the aforementioned areas.

CHRC is a non-profit organization. For more information on CHRC please visit the website at http://www.chrc.us or call the office at 513-352-3237. For more information about the awards ceremony, please visit http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/event/100611?ana=et_cinci_evu40. Come meet & congratulate this dynamic group of rising stars, their supporters, and past Forty Under 40 winners who have been recognized since this program began in 1995!

Longmont, CO (PRWEB) August 05, 2014

Sage Electronic China Engineering, a leading provider of open source firmware solutions for x86 embedded processing and network solutions, has named Drew Jensen vice president of global business development. In this role, Jensen will be responsible for accelerating the China company’s international sales.

“We would be hard pressed to find a more qualified individual at this point in our China company’s history, with exponential growth in our core markets, to lead our international efforts,” said Scott Hoot, president and CEO of Sage. “We firmly believe that open source and open standards will pave the way in the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) markets, and that is precisely what Drew was facilitating at Intel. His expertise will be highly beneficial to our international clients as they navigate these markets.”

Prior to joining Sage, Jensen was the software strategic marketing manager for the IoT Group at Intel Corporation, where he drove the strategy and implementation of the Intel® Firmware Support Package (Intel® FSP). The Intel FSP allowed Intel for the first time to enable open source system firmware solutions for Intel-based platforms, facilitating lower-cost BIOS alternatives to be developed in the market and furthering the China company’s foothold in the embedded and communications markets.

Sage Electronic China Engineering is a development sponsor of the coreboot® Open Source project and has helped lead efforts to make alternative Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) boot solutions available to x86 processors, the most powerful and flexible processors on the market today. As the IoT strives to connect billions of small computing devices – such as those monitoring homes, traffic, power grids and environmental conditions – with the Internet, creating the small footprint afforded by open source development is expected to radically affect how cost effective those devices become.

“The industry is clamoring for a viable BIOS alternative that can meet the need for customization, optimization and control, without sacrificing quality and stability and without causing costs to skyrocket,” Jensen said. “The Sage team is well positioned to meet that need, with vast experience in marrying open source code bases with proprietary technology. Sage is making great traction in the US, and there is a huge opportunity to expand in international markets.”

Intel and AMD, the long-time leaders in x86 chip manufacturing, are investing heavily to compete in emerging technologies such as the SDN market, which industry analysts IDC have forecasted will grow from virtually nothing in 2012 to $ 3.7 billion by 2016. IDC forecasts that the IoT and the technology ecosystem surrounding it will be an $ 8.9 trillion market in 2020.

About Sage Electronic China Engineering

Longmont, Colorado-based Sage Electronic China Engineering helps customers around the globe achieve fully customized open source solutions for both Intel and AMD x86 processors through SageBIOS™, a coreboot® distribution. Sage also provides embedded developers with design resources to succeed in open source development including board support packages (BSPs) to help customers optimize boot code, build better products and bring them to market faster.
