ASSESSOR’S OFFICE HONORED WITH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Cook County – The Cook County Assessor’s Office (CCAO) received a National Association of Counties Achievement Award for the creation of a tool called the Property Tax Simulator, also known as PTAXSIM. This is a software code package implemented in the coding language R and is designed to recalculate changes to Cook County property tax bills. It uses real assessment, exemption, TIF, and levy data to generate historic, line-by-line tax bills for properties in Cook County from tax years 2006 to 2020. Why is this important? Policy makers, researchers, and journalists can now create historical counterfactual scenarios to determine how policy changes could impact the property tax system.

“This award is a testament to our continued commitment to using modern tools to build transparency, trust, and educate stakeholders throughout the County,” said Assessor Fritz Kaegi. “Researchers and policymakers can use PTAXSIM to analyze the whole system of appeals, exemptions, and tax levies – an unprecedented resource for academics, journalists, and policymakers.”Since its publication, PTAXSIM has been featured in a recorded talk for civic tech enthusiasts, received public suggestions for added data, used to produce five counterfactual analyses, and is currently in use by external policy researchers. The public can watch PTAXSIM in action on our YouTube channel.PTAXSIM is an R package that can be downloaded here: www.cookcountyassessor.com/property-taxsimulator-tool.

“I find that the people that I meet in the disability community are so nice. It gives me freedom to do whatever I want. Not only that, it’s something new and I feel comfortable doing it,” Harris said.

Harris has been named a 2023 Leader for a New Chicago by the Field Foundation, in collaboration with the MacArthur Foundation. Since 2019, 55 individuals have been recognized for their work in arts, justice, media and storytelling. The organization’s mission, which became a nonprofit in 2019, is to ensure Chicago becomes known Internationally as a Disability-Friendly City.

The first documentary Harris made was about an art exhibit at the Hyde Park Art Center, “Color Cast,” that featured the work of Anna Kunz. It showed how wheelchair and stroller users could interact with the multidimensional exhibit. Since the organization started, Harris has created 100 documentaries detailing activities that are accessible for those with disabilities. The organization also connects people with disabilities to events, organizations and programs that are fun and accessible.

justice space. While she has received awards for her work in engineering, she hasn’t received as many awards in the disability industry. She knows her work in space is necessary and important.

“People with disabilities are very marginalized and the media doesn’t spend that much time paying any attention to them. We have a lot to offer, we’re problem solvers,” she said. Harris added that oftentimes, people with disabilities have to solve their own problems, because most people don’t consider those with disabilities until they become disabled. Harris wants to use the money she received to go toward a project she wants to do. The project involves making sure the 2024 Democratic Convention is accessible to everyone.

Harris believes it is a good idea for philanthropic organizations like the Field and MacArthur Foundations to give grants to individuals and their organizations in the way it is doing with Leaders for a New Chicago. Sometimes organizations have to jump through hoops to receive funding and once they do receive the funding it is restricted or requires organizations to use their money and receive reimbursement. Smaller organizations might not be able to participate in grants where funds must be matched because they don’t have access to those funds.

Harris is gratified by the recognition. She didn’t think that she would be recognized for her work in the disability

celebrates 25th Anniversary of producing transformative Black theater in 2023-24 Season

CHICAGO — Founded in 1999, Congo Square Theatre Company (Congo Square), one of the nation’s premier African American ensemble theater companies, celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2023-2024 with a powerful theatrical season honoring the myriad experiences that make up Black culture. Anchored by two live performances, the season begins with the Rolling World Premiere of Inda Craig-Galván’s dark comedy about housing inequality in a Chicago suburb, WELCOME TO MATTESON!, and closes with the Chicago Premiere of August Wilson’s autobiographical one-man show, How I Learned What I Learned, starring Chicago’s own Harry Lennix. Congo Square’s popular digital shows continue with the third and final season of the old-fashioned radio melodrama, The Clinic, and the fourth season of the hit online sketch comedy show, The Blackside. Congo Square will officially celebrate its milestone anniversary with a bigger-than-ever 25th Anniversary Homecoming celebration and its annual free Festival on the Square.

This season, Congo Square continues its Radical Generosity model for live performances in which, partnering with community organizations throughout the city, up to half of all tickets for each performance are donated or heavily discounted to traditionally underserved groups. To learn more about discounted community partner tickets, or to become a sponsor, email communitypartner@congosquaretheatre.org.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating our 25th Anniversary with a diverse season that is packed with talent,” said Congo Square Artistic Director Ericka Ratcliff. “At Congo Square, we are focused on three things: radical generosity, radical community, and radical expansion. As we’ve done since 1999, we will continue to uplift, support, and expand our community of artists and audience members through innovation and collaboration this season and for the next 25 years.”

“We are also looking back at our roots this season,” added Congo Square Executive Director Charlique C. Rolle. “August Wilson was not only one of America’s most beloved playwrights, he was also one of Congo Square’s earliest supporters and mentors. We are proud to honor this impactful early relationship in Congo’s history with a production of Wilson’s memory play, How I Learned What I Learned, starring Congo Square Board member, the great Harry Lennix. The play will be produced in association with the Goodman Theatre, the first theater in the country to have produced every play in Wilson’s American Century cycle. As we look back, we also look forward to Congo Square’s future as we continue to build meaningful relationships with the best Black theater-makers in Chicago and the world.”

Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago and Professor Romi Crawford Announce Inaugural New Art School Modality Program

CHICAGO— MCA Chicago, in partnership with SAIC Professor Romi Crawford, announced the New Art School Modality. The educational institution, founded by Crawford, is aimed at democratizing art schooling systems for active problem-solvers and visionary doers.

“There’s intentionally less handholding, and the art school apparatus is reduced,” Professor Crawford said of the program. “All of this is a nod to prior historical moments when making art and being an artist was less reliant on costly infrastructures. Equally important is that it has ‘other’ knowledge forms and methods in its DNA. These are at the ground floor and coursing through all aspects of the institution.”

Evolving from Crawford’s previous Black Arts Movement School Modality, which partnered with Yale School of Art and MUDEC in Milan, among others, the New Art School Modality will connect students directly with industry leaders.

Students will explore art making and art histories with an intergenerational community of artists, scholars, and arts professionals as faculty. Tuition for the inaugural phase of the program will be free to students, after Crawford secured $250,000 in seed funding from the Terra Foundation of American Art.

“It’s a responsibility of cultural and artistic institutions—like the MCA—to ensure that the art world is accessible to all,” Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn said. “Shining a spotlight on the good work of Professor Romi Crawford, who is closing the gap between art education and those who seek it, is a privilege, and I have confidence we will see results from the inaugural year that impact pedagogy moving forward.”

“The course topics and approaches are actively grounded in a revised set of values for arts education and learning: underrecognized art histories; intergenerational and collaborative methods; and outcome projects that live in the world, rather than course credit,” Crawford added. “The primary currency is not the course credit or degree. Instead, the New Art School Modality offers opportunities to take part in and produce a course outcome, such as being part of an exhibition, publication, or civic project that lives in the world.”

The inaugural courses will address a range of subjects and forms and will draw undervalued artists and educators into the art school setting. The Fall 2023 course, titled FESTAC ’77: Witnesses, Art Histories, and Documents, will explore the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC ’77), which took place in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1977.

A team of faculty will feature those with firsthand FESTAC ’77 experience, as well as artists and art historians with expertise in related subjects. Faculty and visiting artists include:

• Ntone Edjabe/Chimurenga, author of FESTAC ’77

• Darlene Blackburn, dancer/choreographer, FESTAC ’77 participant

• Stefano Harney, scholar and activist, co-author of The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study

• Haki R. Madhubuti, poet, Third World Press founder, and FESTAC ’77 participant

• Dindga McCannon, artist and member of Where We At and Weusi

• K. Kofi Moyo, photographer and FESTAC ’77 participant

• Roy Lewis, photographer, member of OBAC, and FESTAC ’77 participant

• Andrew Apter, scholar and author of The Pan-African Nation

Novae Becomes First Fintech Company to Offer Debt Help to Struggling Americans

CONYERS, Ga., PRNewswire -- Over the last decade, Black-owned fintech company Novae has won numerous awards for customer experience, rapid growth, and innovation in the direct sales and finance space. Now they have a new offering: a program to help consumers get out of debt by obtaining partial debt forgiveness and more favorable repayment terms.

Over the last decade, Blackowned fintech company Novae has won numerous awards for customer experience, rapid growth, and innovation in the direct sales and finance space. Now they have a new offering: a program to help consumers get out of debt by obtaining partial debt forgiveness and more favorable repayment terms. Novae and its CEO, Reco McCambry, have been honored with numerous awards in the fintech space in recent years.

While the new Novae product may sound too good to be true, it’s based on longstanding practices within the debt resolution industry. Creditors often agree to accept less than the original amount of a debt in hopes of getting some payment rather than no payment from financially strapped consumers.

These agreements often involve creditors selling debt to a debt collection agency for a fraction of the amount the consumer originally owed. Novae is now seeking to

provide similar negotiations on behalf of consumers, rather than debt collectors.

Novae and its CEO, Reco McCambry, have been honored with numerous awards in the fintech space in recent years. Novae has appeared on Inc 5000’s list of America’s 5,000 fastest-growing businesses for three years running, while McCambry has received awards for

The new offering is available to individuals with unsecured debts including medical debt, private student loans, unsecured credit card debt, credit union debt, personal loans, and home improvement loans. The debts must be more than $250 per account and total over $7,500 per person to qualify.

Prospective customers can book a consultation on Novae’s website and a debt consultant will reach out to speak to them about their situation. If the customer has qualifying debts, Novae will tell them how much their monthly payments can be reduced, and the program can be initiated after this 30-minute phone call. The goal is a 40-50% reduction in monthly unsecured debt payments for those who enter the program.

Helping people with these debt types is important to CEO McCambry, who seeks to use Novae’s resources to empower those facing unfair financial circumstances.

Outstanding Leadership from Money2.0 and Innovator of the Year from the Bank Customer Experience Service Summit.

Now he’s bringing his innovative approach to Novae’s debt help program, which will use the company’s partnerships and finance lawyers around the country to professionally negotiate partial debt forgiveness and favorable repayment terms on behalf of consumers.

The new offering comes at a crucial time, with some financial indicators suggesting that more Americans are carrying more unsecured debt now than any other time in recorded US history, with loans reaching over $220 billion and credit cards reaching nearly $1 trillion last year. A recent survey found that 54% of Americans said debt was making it difficult for them to achieve long-term financial security, and 2022 saw America’s largest increase in total credit card debt since 2003.

“If you have distressed debt and have found yourself and or family in a tough situation financially,” McCambry says. “Novae’s goal is to help you.”

Retirement - Prepare to help clients improve their financial fitness and retirement readiness no matter where they are in life.

Consumer Connections - Build skills and learning tools to cultivate personal and professional networks to better understand the real needs of clients and communities.

Applied Knowledge - Focus on foundational industry knowledge, insights from thought leaders and experts, and best practices from pioneers and bold new voices making an impact across financial services.

Vans Skateboarding and Beatrice Domond Debut the New Zahba Mid

COSTA MESA, Calif., PRNewswire

Off her board, she does the same: her incomparable personal style has made her a favorite of the fashion cognoscen ti. This versatility makes Domond a perfect choice to introduce the Zahba Mid, the newest member of the Zahba family and a silhouette that, much like Domond, can do just about anything.

Based in New York City, Domond has skated through the Big Apple’s streets in all four seasons but is particularly fond of fall — when the leaves on the city’s trees turn from a vibrant green to a rich gold. That shift in seasons is the inspi ration for her take on the Zahba Mid, which boasts a rich green suede upper trimmed with custom gold graphics on the heel and tongue badge as well as contrasting black hits on the Jazz Stripe, tongue, and laces.

The Vans Zahba Mid by Beatrice Do mond is also loaded with Vans Skate boarding’s latest and greatest tech. IMPACTWAFFLE™ provides next-level impact protection without sacrificing board feel, while above it, VR3CUSH™ supplies dual-density foam made with at least 50% bio-based EVA foam. Below this two-tech sandwich sits SICKSTICK™ rubber, with zonal tread for enhanced grip, durability, and life. DURACAP™ toecaps supply top-tier durability for even the most shoe-shredding tricks, and the sockliner is made from 98% recycled foam.

The Vans Skateboarding Zahba Mid by Beatrice Domond will drop via vans.com/zahba and at select Vans Skateboarding stockists on July 13 and is priced at $120. A Skate Style 53 created in collaboration with Beatrice Domond is set to land at the same time.
