ALLUMA CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER-TAMMY HICKEL ZOLA ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

tammy-hickel-e1689108394957161397

Alluma’s Chief Financial Officer, Tammy Hickel Zola, has announced that she will retire at the end of this year.

Tammy joined the agency, formerly Northwestern Mental Health Center, as CFO in May 2015. Before joining Alluma, Tammy worked for Ecolab in various financial capacities for 15 years and spent the early part of her career in public accounting. Tammy earned her BSBA in Accounting from the University of North Dakota and became a Certified Public Accountant in 1987.

Alluma Chief Executive Officer, Shauna Reitmeier, said, “Tammy has built the framework of financial well-being for Alluma so we can continue to provide quality care and support to our region.” Tammy was instrumental in Alluma’s successful implementation of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic model in 2017. In 2018, she and her team helped establish a new clinic in East Grand Forks. Under Hickel Zola’s leadership, the finance team was critical in the agency’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team also implemented a new financial platform, established reporting and financial analysis, and operationalized process standardization. “It has been an honor and privilege to serve as Alluma’s first Chief Financial Officer, working alongside our talented finance team to establish an aligned purpose and to create an environment of quality relationships, financial literacy, and sustainability,” says Tammy. “I am blessed to have led the Alluma Finance team for the last eight years building a solid foundation by hiring experienced people who have an Alluma-aligned purpose. This team of people driven by purpose delivered many projects and process improvements to support Alluma into the future. It has been a tremendous experience and rewarding journey for which I am forever grateful.” Tammy and her husband reside in Grand Forks, North Dakota. She plans to continue embracing her purpose of leading compassionately within her community and her family through volunteering, supporting, and staying active.

The agency has chosen Tammy’s replacement, Rachael Kangesier, who serves as Alluma’s Controller. Rachael’s appointment will begin on October 1, 2023.

Bank of America to pay over $100 million for doubling fees, withholding credit card rewards

shutterstock_1992070568811717

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) said on Tuesday that they are ordering Bank of America to pay over $100 million to customers for illegally charging ‘junk fees,’ as well as withholding credit card rewards and opening fake accounts. The CFPB specifically accused the bank of harming “hundreds of thousands of consumers over a period of several years” and “systematically double-dipping on fees imposed on customers with insufficient funds in their account.” Bank of America serves 68 million people and small business clients.

The CFPB also said that the bank was also ordered to pay an additional $90 million in penalties to the CFPB and $60 million in penalties to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Rohit Chopra, director of the CFPB, said in a statement: “Bank of America wrongfully withheld credit card rewards, double-dipped on fees, and opened accounts without consent.”  Chopra added: “These practices are illegal and undermine customer trust. The CFPB will be putting an end to these practices across the banking system.”

The bank would charge customers a $35 overdraft fee after the bank declined a transaction because there were insufficient funds in the account. However, the CFPB accused the bank of “allowing fees to be repeatedly charged for the same transaction,” saying that Bank of America “generated substantial additional revenue by illegally charging multiple $35 fees.”

The CFPB also accused the bank of illegally withholding “promised credit card account bonuses, such as cash rewards or bonus points to tens of thousands of consumers” and accused the bank of denying “sign-up bonuses to consumers due to the failure of Bank of America’s business processes and systems.” Bank of America employees are also accused of illegally applying “for and enrolled consumers in credit card accounts without consumers’ knowledge or authorization,” using consumers credit reports without their permission to complete applications. The CFPB said that ‘as a result, consumers were charged unjustified fees, suffered negative effects to their credit profiles, and had to spend time correcting errors.”

Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten freed on parole after serving 53 years in prison

shutterstock_1825978709474810

Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, who was convicted in two killings, was released on parole on Tuesday after serving more than five decades in prison.

Houten was originally sentenced to death for the Aug. 10, 1969, murders of Leno and Rosemary La Bianca. According to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: “The original conviction and death sentence were reversed on appeal and she was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole.”

An appeals court ruled in May that Van Houten, 73, was eligible for parole, reversing a decision by California Gov. Gavin Newsom to reject parole. The release of Houten comes after California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Friday that he would not challenge Houten’s release in the state Supreme Court. Newsom had previously blocked parole efforts for Houten.

In 1969, Manson and fellow cult member Charles “Tex” Watson went inside the La Bianca’s home and tied them up. According to court records, Manson went outside and told Van Houten and another person to go inside and follow Watson’s directions; he told them to kill Rosemary LaBianca, and Watson killed Leno LaBianca. The previous day, Watson and other cult members (excluding Van Houten) killed actress Sharon Tate and others in her home.

Van Houten is the second of six Manson cult followers convicted of murder. She was initially sentenced to death to be paroled; however, most of the death sentences were commuted to life in prison under a 1972 court decision that outlawed capital punishment; the death penalty was later reinstated in California.

Manson died at a hospital in 2017 while serving a life sentence. Members of what was dubbed the “Manson Family” included Watson, who is serving life in prison; Susan Atkins, who died in prison in 2009, and Patricia Krenwinkel, who is serving a life sentence.

Lady Gaga confirmed reports of a film based on her ‘Chromatica Ball’  tour, after rumors circulated that her show at Dodger Stadium was filmed for an upcoming film.

Gaga wrote in an Instagram post:  “I wanted to share a more personal moment with you today, I know I haven’t been doing a lot of that lately and some of you are really longing for me to share more of my artistic process. I’ve been experiencing my creativity ever since last summer in a really special and private way—I wrote and produced music for a special project, I prepared for months developing my character for Joker, I filmed Joker for many months (a very introspective time), I have been running my start-up Haus Labs, doing philanthropic work, and additionally have been working on The Chromatica Ball film edit … I can say for the first time in many years that my love of making art, music, fashion, and supporting community has never been more fulfilling. I may not be sharing as much of myself online as I have in the past, but I hope you know this time to myself has been extremely healing and recharging for my heart, mind, body, and creativity—to create within myself and to have a personal life that’s just for me. I’m sure that may feel different because I haven’t always been so private (I bet that will make some of you laugh)—but I LOVE my fans, my little monsters, so much and that will never change … I can’t even begin to describe how much our global community inspires me every day to bring as much joy as I can to your lives. Here’s a photo of my working on The Chromatica Ball film edit (that’s a frame from the film behind me)—I can’t WAIT for you to experience it. Thank you for being willing to grow with me so that I can change and transform with the community I love so much. I hope you love all the things I’ve been creating for you and I hope this is a small reminder to you of my deep passion and commitment to art.”

The Chromatica Ball was originally scheduled for 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 Chromatica Ball visited North America, Europe and Asia in support of Gaga’s sixth album, Chromatica, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2020. The tour grossed $112.4 million and sold 834,000 tickets from 20 concerts, marking Gaga’s first tour since her Joanne World Tour in 2017.
