Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Health Minister Tony Clement recognized 14 extraordinary and diverse nurse leaders from across Canada today for their contributions to the health system and the health of Canadians. The event, held at The Hospital for Sick Children, marked the official launch of the Centennial Year of the Canadian Nurses Association
(CNA).
“There are 270,000 registered nurses in Canada today,” said Prime Minister Harper. “These vital individuals are fulfilling roles, not only on the front line of health care, but also in research, advocacy, innovation, health policy development, and education.
The highlight of the event, however, was the adulation and acknowledgement of the 14 exceptional nurses, including Mary Jo Haddad, President and CEO of The Hospital for Sick Children who was presented a CAN Nurse to Know Centennial Achievement Award for her outstanding leadership and achievement as a registered nurse by Prime Minister Harper and Dr. Smadu.
The other recipients of the CNA Nurse to Know Centennial Achievement Award, representing each province and territory, were: Joanne Simms of Newfoundland; Patsy Smith of Nova Scotia; Janet Bryanton of Prince Edward Island; Daniel Savoie of New Brunswick; Lieutenant Jeff Lee of Quebec; Nancy DiPietro of Ontario; Dr. Roberta Woodgate of Manitoba; Dr. June Anonson of Saskatchewan; Marianne Stewart of Alberta; Dion Thevarge of British Columbia; Patricia McLellan of the Yukon, Céline Pelletier of the Northwest Territories; and Barb Harvey of Nunavut.
Each award recipient has made a significant contribution to the health of Canadians and the health system in general. Their stories reveal a spectrum of courage, leadership, conviction and passion that serve as inspiring examples for the current and next generation of nurses which the CNA projects by 2020 will practice largely in the community and home settings, with shorter stays becoming the norm in smaller and more specialized hospitals.

Howard Nestler announces the creation of an executive profiling document that focuses on the talents and accomplishments of an executive job candidate rather than his or her chronology.
“The idea is to put a man or a woman at the top of a company’s priority list,” says Howard Nestler. “Too many fine executives with highly desirable skills find themselves lost among thousands of less qualified candidates.” Howard Nestler believes these talented people must take steps to stand out from the crowd. “When an executive’s resume appears in a package of other resumes, his or her positioning is that of someone needing a job, which is a negative.” Howard Nestler instructs that a company must be made to want the executive more than the executive might seem to need the company. “This is the reason I authored this document format; people with something to say can be recognized for their brilliance,” said Howard Nestler.
Furthermore,Howard Nestler has found that, unless CEOs are aware of a candidate’s stellar qualities from the outset, a personal meeting might never take place. “I work with men and women who would be an asset to any corporation that engaged them,” says Howard Nestler.” And that should be the very first impression a CEO has of an individual if one is serious about obtaining a rewarding engagement without a prolonged delay.”
“Most executives lack the kind of visibility required to make them a valuable commodity.” In other words, they have performed their duties in previous engagements, but failed to advertise their accomplishments to other companies in their sector; their statistics are hidden from view. Howard Nestler makes the point that, “Companies should be aware of an executive’s accomplishments long before an opening occurs.” Ideally, the demand for an executive should be created in advance of a job search.
Howard Nestler points out, “the reasons an employer will put forth an enhanced offer to an executive usually have to do with the intangible qualities that are never expressed on a resume.”

BlueTarp Inc., a provider of credit for building contractors, has closed on a $14 million fourth round of funding led by two local venture capital firms.
The company declined to say how much it has risen thus far, although a spokesman did say that today’s announcement represents the firm’s largest investment to date. Highland Capital Partners in Lexington and IDG Ventures in Boston led the Series D financing round.
Both firms gained seats on Bluetarp’s board of directors.
Founded five years ago in Portland, Maine, BlueTarp’s credit is accepted by 250 building-materials suppliers and is used by around 7,500 contractors. The company guarantees liquidity to participating vendors by paying down the expense accounts owed by BlueTarp contractors each month.
The firm uses a third-party lender to make each monthly payment, collecting a small fee — between 2 percent and 3 percent of each check — from suppliers in return. Materials vendors are issued BlueTarp nameplates, similar to the Mastercard or Visa stickers that adorn windows and doorways at many retail establishments, while contractors are given an identification card to present while making a purchase.
Bond Isaacson, BlueTarp’s chief executive officer, said the money will be used to expand the company’s services while also bringing its credit and administrative functions in-house. The company presently outsources both operations.
Bond Isaacson said the company also plans to open a new call center in Portland that will eventually employ over 100 customer-service workers. The company presently employs 12 people and expects to hire another 25 this year.
“We’re formalizing trade credit into true credit for the building industry,” said Bond Isaacson, who moved the company’s headquarters down to Charlotte, N.C., this month.
The company also plans to add a Web component to its services, whereby contractors can track purchases and more efficiently bill their customers.
BlueTarp’s credit is accepted nationwide, although the firm has focused most of its resources on the East Coast, Bond Isaacson said.
