NGP VAN Showcases New Organizing Tools to Turn Surges of Participation into Volunteer Power at Netroots Nation 2026

Leading technology platform joined thousands of organizers and movement leaders in Philadelphia to explore how progressive organizations can transform moments of action into sustained engagement

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NGP VAN, the leading technology provider for Democratic and progressive campaigns and organizations, joined thousands of organizers, advocates, strategists, and elected officials at Netroots Nation 2026 in Philadelphia, serving as a premier sponsor and convening conversations on one of the movement’s most pressing challenges: how to transform moments of action into lasting volunteer engagement.

Throughout the conference, NGP VAN connected with organizers from across the country to demo product innovations, exchange best practices, and explore how technology can help Democratic and progressive organizations deepen supporter relationships and sustain engagement beyond rapid-response moments.

NGP VAN also brought together leaders from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Indivisible, and the National Education Association (NEA) to discuss strategies for turning surges in grassroots participation into long-term volunteer power. Drawing from their experiences organizing during pivotal political and advocacy campaigns, panelists shared lessons on volunteer retention, supporter journeys, and building durable organizing infrastructure.

“The best ideas for our platform come from the people doing the work on the ground,” said Jocelyn Ritcheson, Manager, NGP VAN Customer Success. “Netroots Nation brings together some of the most innovative organizers in the country, and we’re proud to learn from their experiences and build tools that help them meet the challenges of organizing in an increasingly fast-moving environment.”

The discussion underscored a growing priority across the progressive movement to ensure moments of action become pathways to deeper engagement. As progressive organizations face new and evolving challenges, many are seeking innovative approaches to help supporters remain connected, involved, and empowered long after a single event, campaign, or news cycle.

Attendees also had the opportunity to connect directly with the NGP VAN team at their booth and learn about recent platform investments designed to help organizations recruit volunteers, strengthen supporter engagement, and drive action more effectively. Featured releases included MiniVAN Notes, which helps organizers capture and act on information from voter and supporter conversations; Inbox Insights, which helps campaigns and organizations optimize email deliverability and supporter communications; and the latest Mobilize features designed to help organizations better capture supporter interest, streamline event planning, and convert participation into long-term engagement.

The conversations throughout the conference reinforced a central theme of NGP VAN’s work: lasting change requires more than moments of mobilization. It requires the relationships, systems, and technology that enable supporters to stay engaged and continue taking action over time.

NGP VAN remains committed to partnering with organizers, advocates, and campaigns across the country to build the infrastructure that powers Democratic and progressive victories and strengthens civic participation year-round.

Pioneering Higher Education Technology Firm Stellic Named 2026 Student Success Platform of the Year

Published

Award-winning platform is now helping more than 1 million students navigate complex academic journeys, make informed decisions, and chart clearer pathways to graduation and career success

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stellic—the developer of the popular academic planning and degree management platform that now serves more than 1 million students across more than 100 colleges and universities—today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Student Success Platform of the Year” award by EdTech Breakthrough. The award program, now in its eighth year, recognizes breakthrough educational technology products and companies reshaping how the world learns from K-12 and higher education to corporate L&D and lifelong learning.

“Every student makes hundreds of decisions on the way to a degree, and most of them are harder than they should be,” said Sabih Bin Wasi, co-founder and CEO of Stellic. “The information exists, it’s just not connected in a way students, or staff, can actually use. That’s the problem our team and our partners show up to work on every day. This recognition reflects the real demand for that kind of clarity in higher education, and our dedication to delivering it.”

At a time when more than 40 million Americans have some college but no credential, and student pathways increasingly span multiple institutions, transfer credits, and learning experiences, navigating higher education has become more complex than ever. Students are often asked to make high-stakes academic decisions with information scattered across disconnected systems, creating barriers that can delay progress and derail completion.

Stellic brings critical information together in a student-facing platform that helps learners understand degree requirements, track progress, evaluate transfer credits, identify the right courses and connect with support before small obstacles become significant barriers to completion. The platform helps students make the hundreds of decisions that shape their college experience with greater confidence by providing a clear view of their progress, options, and opportunities, while giving institutions the insights needed to remove barriers and improve outcomes. Stellic’s suite of tools includes Progress for degree management, Care for proactive advising, and Explore for transfer credit evaluation.

Stellic is redefining academic planning and degree management by helping institutions connect the data, decisions, and support systems that shape a student’s path from enrollment through graduation. Colleges and universities are seeing measurable results using the platform.

At Santa Monica College, the platform helped identify more than 5,400 previously unrecognized degrees and certificates, expanding recognition of student achievement. At Carnegie Mellon University, approximately 80% of students use Stellic to navigate degree requirements and academic planning. At Texas Christian University, 90% student adoption has supported more than 40,000 academic planning actions and 23,000 advising appointments, helping create a more connected and proactive advising experience.

Over the past year, more than 14 million interactions moved through the Stellic platform, including 11.5 million student sessions and 2.5 million faculty and staff sessions. Those interactions represent students mapping degree pathways, evaluating transfer credits, selecting courses, tracking progress toward graduation, and making the everyday decisions that determine whether they stay on track.

The recognition caps a year of continued growth and momentum for Stellic. Today, more than 100 colleges and universities—including community colleges, public and private institutions, and leading research universities—rely on Stellic’s platform to help students make informed decisions, navigate degree requirements, and stay on track to completion.

EdTech Breakthrough’s competitive selection process, evaluated by a panel of industry experts, assesses entries across six core criteria—innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, value, and impact. This year’s award program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries, with thousands of entries evaluated across categories spanning the full learner lifecycle—from student engagement and classroom management to workforce development, corporate learning, and postsecondary student success.

Expansion strengthens production capacity, shortens lead times, and broadens custom radiation shielding solutions.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lead Glass Pro, a leading U.S. manufacturer of radiation shielding products, today announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing facilities alongside a major investment in advanced CNC manufacturing technology. The initiative is designed to deliver greater value to customers by accelerating lead times, expanding product offerings, and increasing precision capabilities for custom radiation shielding components.

“Our customers rely on us for speed, compliance, and reliability,” said a Lead Glass Pro spokesperson. “This expansion represents a strategic investment in our ability to meet growing demand while maintaining the rapid turnaround times and precision standards that have become synonymous with our brand.”

By enhancing in-house machining and fabrication capabilities, Lead Glass Pro aims to reduce dependency on external suppliers and eliminate common bottlenecks that can delay critical shielding projects. The new equipment will support the production of a broader range of radiation shielding products, including custom lead components, fabricated shielding assemblies, and complex engineered solutions tailored to specific project requirements.

The expansion comes in response to increasing demand from healthcare providers, imaging centers, contractors, and facility planners seeking faster project execution without compromising quality or compliance. With more than 98% of orders historically shipping within three business days, Lead Glass Pro’s latest investment reinforces its commitment to setting new benchmarks for responsiveness and customer satisfaction within the radiation shielding industry.

“This is not just about scaling operations — it’s about delivering measurable value to our customers,” the spokesperson added. “From improved fabrication precision to expanded customization options, these upgrades ensure that our partners can complete their projects faster, with greater confidence and fewer complications.”

The facility expansion is expected to be fully operational in phases over the coming months, positioning Lead Glass Pro for continued growth and innovation. The company remains focused on advancing its mission to provide dependable, high-performance radiation shielding solutions that simplify installation, support regulatory compliance, and keep projects on schedule.
