Case Study Series: What’s Working in Marketing & Selling Professional Services Crisis Averted: Proactive Sales Effort Stops Training Organization’s Revenue Loss By M. Sharon Baker Overview When Tony Jace took over in March 2009 as chief executive officer of Crisis Prevention Institute, he was looking forward to continuing the organization’s 28 consecutive years of revenue growth.

Some are quick to point to gains made by African Americans since the civil rights movement; and, indeed we can point to these noticeable advancements including the first black president in the White House. President Obama can be held accountable for what happened in Ferguson after the grand jury decision as well. After seeing the overly aggressive behavior of Ferguson police against protesters and the press back in August, the president suggested a review of the federal political militarization of the police known as Program 1033. But the president did not follow up, and the review died in the corridors of Washington. So is it any surprise that after the grand jury verdict, the local Ferguson police force went right back to shooting smoke bombs and tear gas, using armored tanks and arbitrarily changing protest routes and restrictions, all but provoking a new
Yick Wo, a Chinese American laundry owner who was arrested for not having a permit for his laundry mat, even though he was refused a permit. Chinese Americans had owned many of the neighborhoods laundry mats and other local businesses, but they needed permits. One of the owners in the neighborhood, Yick Wo, didn’t receive a permit and continued to run his business. He was eventually arrested.

SY Affirmative Action in the United States is an issue that due to its lack of affect to the majority of the American citizens should be abolished. According to reports, “Only a small fraction of the public (16%) report [to] having been directly affected by affirmative action programs (Pew Research Center 2003). When created, the main goal for Affirmative Action was to eliminate the idea that certain groups of people were not underrepresented in the workplace.

Europeans started bringing African-Americans to America back in the mid -1500s. Two and a half centuries of slavery and segregation stop black men and women from exercising their rights. They were denied the right to vote and if they tried to vote they were either beaten or even killed for trying to do so.
