Industry Pioneer Brings Proven Investment Track Record as Align Builds on its Leading Role as an Independent Financial Advisory Driving Impact Investing Forward

Align Impact, LLC, the leading independent financial advisory firm focused exclusively on the impact marketplace ("Align"), has named Matthew Weatherley-White as Chief Investment Officer, effective September 1, 2023. An influential leader in impact investing, Matthew brings more than 30 years' experience as an investment professional and thought leader alongside a deep and abiding commitment to using the power of the capital markets to create a more inclusive, sustainable planet. 

Most recently Matthew was a founding partner of The CAPROCK Group, the wealth advisory firm. An incurable entrepreneur, Matthew launched and sold several small companies before beginning a career at Smith Barney in 1993. The architect of the impact investing practice at CAPROCK, Matthew is a recognized global thought leader and has guest lectured at top business schools, given a TED talk, has held several technology patents, keynoted global gatherings around climate change, and has been featured in several of the world's most recognized financial media.

"We are incredibly excited that Matthew has joined the Align team," said Jenn Kenning, co-founder and CEO of Align. "As one of impact investing's original driving forces, Matthew brings a near peerless understanding of the marketplace as well as of what clients need. His storied track record as an investor and leader and his vast experience building a high-performing investment platform will be essential as Align evolves to our next phase of growth. Matthew lives his values and this translates into how he invests, engages with clients and develops and grooms talent. I have been personally inspired by Matthew's continual efforts to raise the bar for us as professionals by thinking and acting differently and am thrilled to welcome him to Align."  

"I am so proud to be joining such an exceptional organization," said Mr. Weatherley-White. "Align is the leading independent RIA in the sector and plays a vital role in an industry that has become increasingly transactional. There is a huge white space for an independent RIA to operate at scale, simultaneously balancing that desire to have a shaping influence on capitalism with the ability to provide highly customized solutions to clients. Jenn and her team at Align are willing to explore the most fundamental questions about why we invest and to find answers that match the values of each client. What's more, as a women-founded and -led firm with a highly diverse base of talent, Align is a beacon to others on how to build an inclusive and world-class organization. I am beyond excited to support Jenn and her team in building on their decade of success."

With the addition of Matthew to the Align team, the organization can offer more clients a highly customized experience that places their values and portfolio needs at the center, even as the firm institutionalizes. 

Added Ms. Kenning: "If we want to solve our biggest social and environmental challenges, we have to invest differently. This goes beyond what we invest in, but how we invest. We must accelerate how we invest in the people and the parts of our society that have been regularly overlooked by the capital markets, and doing this in a way that meets the risk/return profiles of our clients' portfolios. This means considering all of the different types of capital we need to solve these challenges, from catalytic to returns-seeking. It means rethinking how we as an industry perform fund due diligence and evaluate emerging managers. It means continuing to challenge the assumptions that underpin so much of investing today - so that we can help the entire financial ecosystem invest in ways that make our planet more equitable, peaceful and sustainable for all 8 billion of us in the future."

Hanna Interpreting Services Awarded Comparably’s Best Company for Work-Life Balance

Hanna Interpreting Services, a premier language services provider, is proud to announce its recognition by Comparably as one of the best companies for work-life balance. This honor is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to employee well-being and its innovative approach to fostering a harmonious work environment.

Comparably’s accolade assesses factors such as employee satisfaction with work-life balance, average hours worked per day, lunch break lengths, and overall feelings of burnout. Hanna Interpreting Services' dedication to creating an environment that melds productivity with personal time has made it stand out in this evaluation.

A significant contributor to this balance is the company's hybrid working model, where employees merge the best of both worlds by working remotely for three weeks and in the office for one week every month. This flexibility allows team members to maintain their personal lives while still fostering in-person collaboration. Hanna also ranked among the top 35% of companies for diversity and in the top 40% for gender balance.

"It's a balance we've been striving to achieve, especially in these dynamic times," says President Tom Elias Hanna. "We understand the challenges presented by both remote work and the need to be in-office."

September is a monumental month for Hanna Interpreting Services. In addition to the Comparably award, the company celebrated its 13th anniversary on September 9, marking over a decade of industry leadership and commitment to bridging linguistic barriers. The month also saw the inauguration of a brand-new office space, showcasing the company’s dedication to growth and serving as a hub for innovation and team collaboration.

As Hanna Interpreting Services continues to evolve and set benchmarks in the industry, the core values remain consistent: a commitment to bridging language barriers, a dedication to employee well-being, and a vision to be the most trusted name in language services.

Founded in 2010 by mother and son duo Jennifer Hanna and Tom Elias Hanna in their garage, Hanna has grown to more than 70 employees, served 1.1 million clients to date in 250+ languages, and has sponsored countless outreach events to serve the local community.

The Fort Lauderdale Maccabi Soccer team won their gold medal match against the Philadelphia team.

The 2023 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access, hosted by the David Posnack Jewish Community Center (DPJCC) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have concluded with resounding success and heartfelt gratitude to the community that made it all possible. This week-long celebration of sports, camaraderie, and inclusivity has left a lasting impact, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our generous supporters.

Close to 2,000 Jewish teen athletes aged 12-16, representing communities worldwide, gathered in Fort Lauderdale to experience the joy of sports and the power of inclusion. The Games, presented by the JCC Association of North America, offered an unforgettable Olympic-style experience filled with competitions, opening and closing ceremonies, community service, social and cultural events, and opportunities to create Jewish connections that will last a lifetime.

One of the highlights of this year's event was the introduction of JCC Maccabi Access, brought to you by UKG and presented by the Posnack Family Foundation. This program is designed to provide athletes aged 12-18 with intellectual and developmental disabilities an inclusive Maccabi experience. This three-day program, held in conjunction with the 2023 JCC Maccabi Games®, exemplified the event's commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

Scott Ehrlich, CEO of the David Posnack Jewish Community Center, reflected on the Games, stating, "We were overjoyed to welcome Jewish athletes from all corners of the world to Broward County for the 2023 JCC Maccabi® Games & Access. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our JCC Maccabi Team led by our Co-Chairs, Lori and Mitch Green, Debby and Dennis Eisinger, Davia and Jim Mazur, and Missy and Dan Longman.
