Bizzell Supports Our Military

On November 30, 2017, Dr. Anton Bizzell, CEO and President of The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) and senior Bizzell staff met with Jean Hulet, the Maryland State Chair of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Program (ESGR), to sign a Statement of Support with ESGR.  By signing ESGR’s Statement of Support, Bizzell solidifies its deep commitment as an advocate and supportive employer for our National Guard and Reserve employees. Bizzell is proud to support our military by providing employment and employment opportunities for those who serve in the National Guard and Reserves and Veterans.

ESGR was started by the Department of Defense in the early 1970s to foster cooperation and understanding between employers and Service members. ESGR has more than 3,600 trained volunteers in communities throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  ESGR educates employers about the Reserve component of the military, assists with resolving conflicts that arise from an employee’s Reserve status and commitments, and recognizes employers with policies that support and encourage participation in the Reserves.

Bizzell sponsored a community outreach Veterans’ appreciation luncheon and toiletry donation event on Friday, November 7th in Atlanta GA, in collaboration with National Contract Management Association (NCMA) Atlanta Chapter. The recipient organization, Quest Community Development Organization (QCDO), promotes a best in class, diverse housing model that encourages collaboration and positive community change. QCDO is committed to enhancing and inspiring personal, professional, and team growth through unique experiences, continued education, and strong work ethic.

QCDO provides housing programs and supportive services that are targeted toward the chronically homeless population of men, women and Veterans with a history of mental illness and/or substance addiction directly affecting the human health and welfare of individuals.

Bizzell also supports the military through our Department of Defense (DoD) contract, which focuses on suicide prevention, intervention, and posvention efforts for Service members and their families. We believe that it is our sacred duty to ensure the health and well-being of our brave Service members. We must provide proper care for those who sacrifice so much for the freedom we enjoy. Through the contract, assist the DoD with the development and implementation of a suicide prevention, outreach, and communication plan for Service members, their families, and DoD Civilians.

Supporting National Office of Job Corps

The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) is thrilled to have successfully supported the work of the Department of Labor’s National Office of Job Corps (NOJC). Through a set of strategic initiatives, Bizzell provided support to Job Corps by identifying and implementing web-based tools to support students’ academic growth beginning in the pre-enrollment phase and continuing while on-center.

Job Corps is the largest and most comprehensive residential education and job training program for at-risk youth, with vocational offerings in over 100 different trades in 11 major industries. The goal is to provide students with an opportunity to gain the experience and knowledge they need to begin a career or advance to higher education.

Bizzell assisted with Job Corps’ objectives by introducing new tools to be used in assessing the academic capabilities of students first entering the program, and ensuring that each student is set on a career path that is tailored to his or her knowledge and specific needs. In all aspects of the project, Bizzell worked in close coordination with NOJC, as well as other National Office support contractors, to reach project objectives and manage outcomes.

“The Bizzell team’s dedication and commitment to the success of the project was exhibited in the attention to detail and continual forward-thinking to not only get to implementation as required, but also to get to the ‘value add.'” -Curtis Massey, Workforce Development Specialist, Department of Labor.

Elder Justice Act of 2009 : Bizzell Supporting HHS Initiative

The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) is proud of its continued success with the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) on Administration for Community Living (ACL).

ACL was created in 2012 with the goal of maximizing the independence, well-being and health of older
adults, elders with disabilities and their families and/or caregivers by increasing access to community
supports, while focusing attention and recourses on the unique needs of older Americans and people
with disabilities.

As part of the Affordable Care Act, the Elder Justice Act of 2009 was established to preserve the rights of
older individuals and those who may not be able to protect themselves. It aims to assist in the
protection of these individuals from elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. The Administration on Aging
(AoA) has been leading efforts in protecting elders from financial exploitation (which is the leading form
of elder abuse), physical abuse, neglect, psychological abuse and sexual abuse.
Bizzell is assisting in these efforts by providing logistical support to Elder Justice Coordinating Council
Meetings. The firm provides support on pre-planning and executing all logistical requirements and
functions that are required to make this initiative a success.

“Bizzell excels in achieving and submitting their deliverables. The quality of the work has been accurate
and flawless. They are reliable, consistent and timely. Task are always submitted according to schedule.”
– Aisha Gurley, Aging Specialist for ACA.

Elders who have fallen victim to abuse have a much higher mortality rate within the next three years of
life than those who have not been victims of mistreatment. With more-than 1 in 10 people, roughly 5
million per year, ages 60 and up being a victim of elder abuse, Bizzell is proud to be a part of
an initiative to battle this exploitation. The firm looks forward to the continued success of helping our
elders and assisting HHS on Elder Justice.
