STATE HOUSE NEWS SERVICE

BOSTON -- Former state Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Rachel Kaprielian has been appointed to a top federal health and human services post.

Kaprielian, a former state representative who went on to serve in Gov. Deval Patrick's administration, will serve as Health and Human Services regional director for Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, President Obama's health chief said Wednesday.

"Rachel's work in state and local policy will surely be an asset to our Region I office," Sylvia Burwell, secretary of the federal Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement. "We look forward to Rachel joining her fellow Regional Directors as they continue their work delivering impact in communities around the country."

Kaprielian, who is scheduled to start her new job on Monday, also served as registrar of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.

A Watertown Democrat, Kaprielian served six terms in the Legislature. Kaprielian also discussed with a recruiter the position of president and CEO of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.

Christie Hager, the previous regional director, left in December and took a job with Beacon Health Options, a managed behavioral health care company.

Former state Reps. Phil Johnston and Brian Golden, who now heads the Boston Redevelopment Authority, have also held the regional directorship.

Former Sen. Richard Moore, an Uxbridge Democrat, applied for the regional directorship after losing his seat to Webster Republican Ryan Fattman in November 2014.

A Futurists Foresight: Ten Trends Transforming Tomorrow

Posted: at 10:43 am

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) March 26, 2015

No one can predict the future; but global futurist Jack Uldrich helps organizations prepare for it.

Jack Uldrich is a leading global futurist, speaker, and author of eleven books, including a number of awards and winning best sellers. As a recognized global futurist, Uldrich frequently speaks on technology, change management and leadership. He is joining the International Card manufacturers Association for their 2015 Expo in Phoenix next Tuesday, March 30th. Uldrich will share his energy, anecdotes, and thoughtful business and personal advice, and aim to educate, entertain, and inspire his ICMA audience members. He will deliver his keynote: Foresight 2020: The Ten Trends Transforming Tomorrow.

Through his keynotes and follow up strategy sessions Uldrich helps a wide variety of organizations and their leaders gain the critical foresight they need to create a successful future. His work is based on the transformational principles of unlearning or freeing yourself from obsolete knowledge and assumptions as a strategy to survive and thrive in an era of unparalleled change.

Uldrich argues that creativity and action are more powerful and versatile than knowledge. He says, "Unless a person is constantly acquiring new knowledge and unlearning old obsolete knowledge, their assertions of years of experience must be taken with a healthy dose of salt." He regularly makes television appearances on the Science Channels FutureScape program and the Discovery Channel show Inside Out, and is a frequent guest on major media outlets, including CNN, CNBC and National Public Radio.

As a writer, Uldrich is also an ongoing contributor on emerging technologies and future trends for a number of publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Wired Magazine and BusinessWeek. Jack is a former naval intelligence officer and Defense Department official. Uldrich previously served as the director of the Minnesota Office of Strategic and Long-Range Planning.

Parties interested in learning more about Uldrich, his writing or speaking availability are encouraged to go to his website. Media wishing to interview him, or know more about the event can contact Amy Tomczyk at (612) 343-0060.
