*ACB Stock Split - Is It Coming? *
Stocks splits are always an interesting proposition. They cause a lot of hype and buzz, often increasing trading activity around a stock based solely on potential. Now, whether that trading is positive or negative varies. In the case of *Aurora Cannabis Inc. *(OTCMKTS:ACBFF), (TSE:ACB), an ACB stock split could very well prove to be a boon to the company's value. But with the Canadian legalization date in 2018 for recreational marijuana right around the corner, I don't think that what Aurora Cannabis stock needs right now is another shakeup.

The issue with an ACB stock split is that the company simply has too.

National Initiative Selects Fourth Cohort of Leaders to Take on Human Capital Challenges in School Systems

Education Pioneers, in partnership with the Urban Schools Human Capital Academy, announces cohort of talent management leaders working in education

OAKLAND, Calif. (PRWEB) February 27, 2018

Thirty talented professionals will participate in Emerging Human Capital Leaders Initiative (EHCLI). The 2018 cohort chosen to participate in this selective program work in leading human capital roles and aspire to change the way schools recruit, connect, and advance talent on behalf of the nation’s highest-need students.

This 10-month program is an innovative partnership between Education Pioneers and the Urban Schools Human Capital Academy (USHCA) that provides participants with the skills, resources, and network to accelerate their work to ensure that every student has a great team of people, such as teachers, principals, and central office administrators, who support them. Participants are in top human capital roles within their organizations, or are step or two away from being in these roles.

“EHCLI functions to advance the careers of professionals poised to lead talent management for major school districts, charter management organizations, and state education agencies,” said Melissa Wu, Education Pioneers’ Chief Program Officer. “People are the most critical resource in the education sector. Strategic and intentional human capital work is necessary to improve student outcomes because compliance isn’t enough when it comes to recruiting, developing, and retaining effective teachers and principals. We couldn’t do this work without important stakeholders like USHCA.”

EHCLI grows a robust national network of human capital leaders who connect, collaborate, and innovate across the nation to create excellence and equity in education. The 2018 cohort joins the first three cohorts, totalling 112 human capital professionals who have or will be a part of the EHCLI network.

“The ideas and collaborations that arise from meaningful conversations about human capital trends and challenges in education have the potential to transform how we serve students. EHCLI participants can expand on what’s working and learn different ways of approaching important talent management situations,” Danielle Pickens, chief program officer for the Urban Schools Human Capital Academy, said. “EHCLI ensures the support of leaders who are strategizing to improve schools, both individually and at scale.”

The 30 emerging human capital leaders who will begin the program in the first week of March 2018 are:

Anna Westlund, Director of Recruitment, Saint Louis Public Schools
Cecily Adams, Executive Data Strategy Coordinator, Prince George’s County Public Schools

In 2017, the firm cut the ribbon on the $45 million Colorado State University Health and Medical Center. Currently in progress, AP is expected to complete the $60 million University of Northern Colorado Campus Commons project in Greeley in early 2019.

Regionally, AP is currently ranked #8 among general contractors in Colorado by the Denver Business Journal. Nationally, the firm is number 55 on the list of top 100 construction management‐at‐risk firms of 2017 by Engineering News‐Record (ENR), a leading publication for the engineering and construction industry.
