National Campaign Calls on CEOs and C-Suite Executives to Share Their Perspectives on Freedom, Leadership, and Opportunity

NEW YORK, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jeffrey Hayzlett, Chairman and Founder of C-SUITE NETWORK™, today announced a strategic partnership with Emovid™, and Didit to launch Voices of 250, a nationwide initiative inviting business leaders to share what freedom means in America as the nation continues celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2026. Voices of 250 is a proud participant in Freedom 250.

As America continues celebrating its 250th birthday, Voices of 250 is bringing together business leaders from every industry and every corner of the country to celebrate the freedoms that make innovation, entrepreneurship, and opportunity possible. This isn’t about red states or blue states, it’s about red, white, and blue.

“We’re going to see business leaders tell their own stories about why they are proud to own, lead, and build businesses in America,” said Jeffrey Hayzlett. “This is the perfect time to share with future generations, customers, partners, employees, and communities how proud we are to support free enterprise and the opportunities it creates.”

A growing number of influential business leaders have already shared public messages about freedom, opportunity, leadership, and the nation’s 250th anniversary, including Kathy Warden, Chair, CEO, and President of Northrop Grumman; Dave Ricks, Chair and CEO of Eli Lilly and Company; Lynn Martin, President of the New York Stock Exchange; and Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of Nasdaq. Their publicly posted messages helped inspire Voices of 250 and are featured on the website as examples of the growing national conversation. The campaign is now calling on executives from Main Street to Wall Street to join the movement and help celebrate freedom, opportunity, and America’s 250th anniversary.

The campaign calls on CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and C-level executives across the country to record and share a brief video message reflecting on three questions:

What freedom means todayHow it shows up in your organizationWhy this moment matters

These videos will become part of a coordinated national movement designed to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, leadership, and opportunity that have helped define America for 250 years. Business leaders can get a Voices of 250 toolkit by going to voicesof250.com.

“For generations, freedom has fueled the builders, dreamers, innovators, and risk-takers who make this country exceptional,” said Jeffrey Hayzlett. “As business leaders, we’ve experienced firsthand the power of freedom to create jobs, launch companies, solve problems, and improve lives. Voices of 250 gives us an opportunity to come together and tell that story in our own words.”

As a proud participant in Freedom 250, the initiative is being powered through a collaboration between C-SUITE NETWORK™, the world’s most trusted network of C-suite leaders; Emovid™, the innovative Verified Human Communication(tm) platform making participation simple, trusted, and scalable; and Didit, the leading digital marketing agency helping amplify the message and extend its reach nationwide.

“America’s 250th anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the freedom, entrepreneurship, and leadership that have always driven our nation forward,” said Keith Krach, CEO of Freedom 250. “Voices of 250 gives business leaders across the country a powerful way to share what freedom means to them and the communities they serve.”

“Freedom isn’t just a historical concept, it’s something we exercise every day through innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, and service,” Hayzlett continued. “This initiative isn’t political. It’s personal. It’s about recognizing the opportunities that freedom creates and inspiring future generations to continue building on that legacy.”

Through the initiative, Emovid™ will provide business leaders with a simple and efficient way to record and share their messages, making participation accessible to executives regardless of schedule or location. Didit will help drive awareness, engagement, and amplification of the campaign, ensuring these stories reach audiences across industries and communities throughout America.

“Technology and storytelling are powerful forces when combined,” said Hayzlett. “With Emovid™ simplifying the creation process and Didit helping amplify these voices, we’re making it easier than ever for leaders to participate in a historic national conversation.”

Participating executives will record a personal 60–90 second video that reflects on the meaning of freedom, how it is expressed within their organizations, and why America’s 250th anniversary represents an important moment for reflection and optimism. Participants will need to go to voicesof250.com to record their video, share it through their social channels, to their employees, customers, vendors, and partners. Videos will be released as part of a coordinated national campaign and featured across executive, corporate, C-SUITE NETWORK and other participating media channels.

The initiative is expected to reach millions of employees, customers, stakeholders, and community members through executive networks, social media, digital platforms, national compilation videos, industry-specific showcases, and media events.

“Business is one of the greatest expressions of freedom,” said Hayzlett. “Every company started, every customer served, every innovation launched, and every employee empowered is a reflection of the opportunities made possible by freedom. That’s a story worth celebrating.”

As a proud participant in Freedom 250, C-SUITE NETWORK™ Emovid™, and Didit are inviting business leaders from organizations of every size and every industry to participate and help create a lasting tribute to the American spirit.

“As leaders, our voices matter,” Hayzlett added. “The story of America is still being written, and business leaders are helping write it every day. Voices of 250 is our chance to reflect on where we’ve been, celebrate what we’ve built, and inspire what comes next.”

Proud participant in Freedom 250.

EBSCO Clinical Decisions Appoints Paul Tuten as Executive Vice President

~ Seasoned health IT executive and former ONC advisor to lead EBSCO Clinical Decisions as it advances its mission to bring trusted evidence to clinicians at the point of care.~

IPSWICH, Mass., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EBSCO Clinical Decisions today announced the appointment of Paul Tuten as its Executive Vice President. In his role, Tuten will oversee all aspects of EBSCO Clinical Decisions, including strategy, content, product development, and growth. His priorities include advancing the organization’s point-of-care strategy and expanding partnerships that bring expert-vetted DynaMed® content directly into the workflows, platforms, and AI-enabled tools clinicians use every day.

“Paul’s strong and even-handed leadership is an incredible asset as we work to deliver intelligent, evidence-based tools that elevate care delivery,” said Roy Ziegelstein, MD, MACP, Editor-in-Chief and Chief Medical Officer of DynaMed. “His deep technical expertise and track record in academic publishing will help us take the next step in building and delivering trustworthy, evidence-based solutions for clinicians that integrate natively into their daily workflows, reducing friction and improving care when and where it matters most.”

Tuten joined the company in 2025 as Executive Vice President and Chief Platform Officer at EBSCO Information Services, focused on accelerating scalable growth of EBSCO’s advanced knowledge services. Prior to joining, he was Chief Product and Technology Officer at Taylor & Francis, where he led a global team in driving digital transformation and enhancing data governance, analytics, and platform-centric customer experiences in service to academic researchers. Tuten previously built and repositioned health IT organizations focused on clinical data exchange, patient safety, quality measurement, and revenue cycle management, including at Quantros (now part of RLDatix and Healthcare Bluebook), RxAnte, and ABILITY Network (now part of Inovalon). He holds a PhD in Information Systems from Nova Southeastern University.

“For too long, clinical decision support has worked like a paper map. Useful, but only if you pull over to review it and already know where you are. Clinicians need something closer to GPS, seamlessly integrated into the car and proactively guiding them in real time without having to take their eyes off the road,” said Tuten. “At EBSCO Clinical Decisions, our job is to get trusted clinical knowledge everywhere care is delivered. But like GPS, clinical decision support is only as good as the information behind it. With AI tools multiplying and published research outpacing peer review, it’s never mattered more that human experts decide what evidence informs it. I’m excited to help bring this vision to life and set a new standard for point-of-care delivery.”

Tuten has also advised the federal government on health information exchange and interoperability as a Senior Advisor to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In that role, he supported the HITECH Act’s Meaningful Use program and served as a government liaison to EHR vendors on certification criteria.

College Board Launches AP Cybersecurity to Prepare Students to Protect the Digital World

New high school course builds foundational skills for college, careers, and service as states connect cybersecurity education to national security needs

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cyber threats reach into everyday life, from scams that steal families’ savings to attacks on utilities and other essential services. Helping students understand and respond to those threats can open doors to further education, employment, and national defense service. College Board’s new AP Cybersecurity course, which was launched in high schools this fall, gives students a place to begin.

In 2025, U.S. employers posted more than half a million job listings requiring cybersecurity skills. Yet many students have little opportunity to learn about cybersecurity in high school or see where those skills could take them.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/college_board/9381153-en-college-board-launches-ap-cybersecurity

AP Cybersecurity introduces students to the work behind that demand: protecting the systems people depend on. Through practical scenarios, students assess security weaknesses, weigh risks, and investigate evidence of attacks. An assignment might ask them to evaluate threats to internet-connected farm equipment or recommend protections for computer networks aboard a naval submarine.

These assignments help students see how cybersecurity skills apply across industries and in national defense. Indiana offers an example of how those connections can take shape. The statewide Cybersecurity Partnership brings together high schools, colleges, employers, and the Indiana National Guard to help students explore routes into further education, employment, and military service.

The course and partnerships like Indiana’s address two connected needs: giving students an introduction to cybersecurity and helping them understand where continued learning could lead. For students, that connection gives classroom assignments a larger purpose. Investigating a security weakness today can be a first step toward learning how to protect a hospital, secure a business, or defend the country.

Interested in learning more? Talk to your school district or high school to see if they are offering AP Cybersecurity or visit collegeboard.org
