• The National Health IT Collaborative for the Underserved (NHIT), the first and oldest national non-profit focused on equitable access to health technology for underserved communities and communities of color, celebrated its 15th anniversary today with an in-person Health Equity Roundtable with key White House and administration officials.
• While marking its 15 years of community impact, NHIT is also focused on the future with the recent expansion of the NHIT Data Fusion Center in collaboration with Amazon Web Services and Tyler Technologies.
• He added, "If we are going to address the health equity gap, strategic investments are of great importance, but they cannot be at the expense of underserved communities.
• NHIT has advocated for this approach for 15 years, and we are immensely proud to work side by side with the Biden Administration to go from conception to execution."

• A “royal snub,” screamed headlines, while commentators grumbled about “Irish Joe” and his “hatred” of the Brits.
• The truth is, no U.S. president has ever attended a British coronation ceremony.
• Biden did attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, but that was very much the exception, not the rule.
• What’s more, she will be joined by an American coronation delegation.
• But if history is a guide, who is sent across the Atlantic will telegraph particular American ideas and aspirations.

Signaling intent

• That party was headed by General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I, and included James Gerard, former U.S.
• Ambassador to Germany, and Admiral Hugh Rodman, a former commander-in-chief in the U.S. Navy.
• Gerard had reviewed Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” for The New York Times in 1933, in which he expressed his “fear for the world’s future.” In dispatching both to the coronation, Roosevelt was signaling where he stood on Nazi Germany.

Elevating women

• In this postwar moment – marked by escalating tensions with the Soviet Union and the accompanying Red Scare at home – Eisenhower chose his four representatives carefully.
• Marshall, who headed the delegation, had been U.S. Army chief of staff during World War II.
• More recently, as secretary of state, he had helped implement the Marshall Plan, which provided crucial funding to postwar Europe.
• Bradley, likewise, had played a decisive role in the war, and now served as chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
• In choosing Cowles, Eisenhower played into this female narrative, while also signaling his own, sometimes contradictory, aspirations for the modern American woman.

Pinned down on US positions

• Once the delegation arrived in London, its role as a diplomatic corps became only more evident.
• More informally, the delegation fielded frequent questions from the press about controversial issues and did its best to remain in lockstep with the president.
• The choices, whenever they’re announced, will tell us much about how President Biden wants to position himself ahead of his 2024 presidential bid.

• Summit Materials, Inc. (NYSE: SUM, “Summit” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated construction materials company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Anderson as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective March 1, 2023.
• In addition to over two decades of industry experience with Hamm and Summit companies, Scott has recently distinguished himself by moving swiftly to deliver on the Elevate Summit goals.
• As CFO, Anderson will oversee Summit's financial operations and work closely with the executive team to execute the Company's strategic plan, Elevate Summit.
• "I am honored to take on the CFO role and continue to serve Summit in this new capacity," said Anderson.
