    2016 ANNUAL REPORT Transforming lives two generations at a time Jeremiah Program 2016 Annual Report | 1 Dear Friends, There is no greater gift than one made to strengthen families and their futures. Thank you; we couldn’t do it without you. Your investment in Jeremiah Program has given us the capacity and resources to partner with determined single mothers and their young children who are thriving now, thanks to your generosity. Within Jeremiah we have high expectations of ourselves and our families. This is evident in our ability to navigate change, growth, and transition. We know change is uncomfortable and takes time, it occurs from the inside out and we believe in the transformative power of education for mothers and their young children simultaneously. Jeremiah is approaching nearly 20 years of success. Our holistic approach is nationally recognized and we are compelled to respond to the call from communities seeking our transformative two-generation model; scaling to meet the growing population of low-income single mothers in the US and addressing the barriers they face trying to earn their 2-year or 4-year college degree. The mothers we meet across our campus communities, from Austin, Boston, Fargo-Moorhead and Rochester, MN to Minneapolis, and St. Paul, share a common thread of hope, courage and determination. The good news is that through Jeremiah, they build a network of support so they don’t have to pursue their dreams in isolation. We know Jeremiah’s two- generation strategy works. • 455 women and children served in five cities

    2013 HOUSE INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, AND LABOR HB 1174 2013 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES House Industry, Business and Labor Committee Peace Garden Room, State Capitol HB 1174 January 22, 2013 Job 17489 Explanation or reason Creation of corporate headquarters relocation program · ithin Dept. of Commerce; provide appropriation Minutes: Attachment 1 Committee meeting called to order. Roll taken. Hearing opened. Chairman Keiser: If this bill comes out with a do pass, it will require additional work on the part of the committee. Provided background on creation of bill. For many of the oil-related jobs expanding in our state, the company headquarters are still out of state. What is the advantage of having a corporate headquarters in the state? We have only one company in our state on the big board, and that's MDU. Representative Kreun said that the local communities can already do everything that's in this bill, but I do not agree. This bill is not designed to supplant the economic development options that local communities have, that the Bank of North Dakota has, or anything similar. This bill, in concept, was to add a new tool. It's a short bill. All it does is empower the Commerce Department to initiate a program called the Commerce Headquarters Relocation Program. The bill is to see if we can do something to get companies not located here to move their headquarters here. What do companies do when they have headquarters somewhere? They buy professional services in that locale. It is similar in concept to a renaissance zone in that we give Commerce general authority to establish a program and to set the guidelines.

    2019 HOUSE JUDICIARY HCR 3031 2019 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES Judiciary Committee Prairie Room, State Capitol HCR 3031 2/27/2019 32938 ☐ Subcommittee ☐ Conference Committee Committee Clerk: DeLores D. Shimek Explanation or reason for introduction of bill/resolution: Requesting the Legislative Management to study the juvenile justice process, levels of collaboration among various service systems, implementation of dispositional alternatives, and methods for improving outcomes for juveniles involved in the process. Minutes: 1 Chairman Koppelman: Opened the hearing on HCR 3031. Representative Klemin: Introduced the bill. (Attachment #1) Went over testimony and attachments. Chairman K. Koppelman: Based on what you just said I hope you would not object if you recall you actually introduced the resolution which prompted the justice reinvestment study. I proposed an amendment seeking the justice center to assist with this? Representative Klemin: That would be fine with me. Chairman K. Koppelman: We had a bill earlier in the session that dealt with criminal activity of juveniles. The response was light and ineffective so that bill was passed. It wasn’t requiring any kind of punitive action, but it was saying there should be some things considered when these kinds of cases come up. What direction should a study like this go? Representative Klemin: I am not sure what is missing. A way to streamline it and bring it up to date is missing. We have not done a good job of that. We enacted the juvenile court act in 1969 and it is pretty much the same. We have not done a hard look at the juvenile system and we need to do that.

  • 2021 FPA-ND Legislative Scorecard
    2021 NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 67th LEGISLATIVE SESSION ABOUT THE SCORECARD We are pleased to share this scorecard for the 2021 North Dakota state legislative session. This is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to life, education, family, religious freedom, and similar issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, the scorecard focuses on seven bills. This scorecard is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. Please continue to hold our legislators accountable for their voting records and please pray that they may always vote in ways that uphold your biblical values as they make important decisions for our state. Sincerely, Mark Jorritsma Executive Director, Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota HOW WE FIGURED THE GRADES A bill is typically passed by a simple majority in the Senate (24 votes out of 47 senators) and the House (48 votes out of 94 Representatives.) Lawmakers earned percentage grades ranging from 0% to 100%, based upon dividing the candidate’s number of good votes cast by the number of total bills he/she voted on. The higher the score, the better their ranking. Not all lawmakers voted on every bill; the number of absences on these key bills is also noted and we encourage you to review whether your legislator actually voted on these important bills.

  • Aicpa Fall Meeting of Council by Patrick Kautzman, AICPA Council Member
    January 2019 | Volume XXXVI | No. 1 aicpa fall meeting of council By Patrick Kautzman, AICPA Council Member Since TCJA passed last December, we have heard from a multitude of professionals with varying levels of concern regarding the continued existence of the food and beverage deduction in light of the fate of entertainment expenses. Well, Notice 2018-76, issued October 3, 2018, clarifies that taxpayers generally may continue to deduct 50% of the food and beverage expenses associated with operating their trade or business. Professional Issues Update by Barry Meloncon, President and CEO of AICPA Barry’s professional issues update included his recurring reminders of the rapid pace of innovation and disruption in our world and our industry. • Since the year 2000, 41% of S&P consumer-centric companies have been acquired 2019 or gone out of business and 39% of the 5th to 85th largest firms no longer exist as standalone firms. Conference dates • The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report shows that of the top 10 de- clining jobs by 2022, #2 is Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Payroll Clerks and #7 is Accountants and Auditors. Barry’s response: They are referring to an industry that Management Conference is unwilling to change and adapt! He broke a future ready strategy down into 3 parts: May 22-23 • Technology – Master it before it masters you Fargo Holiday Inn • Trust – Build on CPAs expertise • Talent – Think broader Summer variety pack Technology – CPAs must embrace “Software as a Service” through client accounting June 17-19 services and virtual CFO services, “Big Data and Analytics”, “Artificial Intelligence” through Bismarck Ramkota machine learning and virtual assistance, and “Blockchain”.
