TIME and Ally Financial Honor Waukesha Chevy Buick Dealer

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

Brian Ewald of Ewald Chevrolet Buick in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, has been nominated for the 2012 TIME Dealer of the Year award. A well-known Waukesha Chevy Buick dealer, Ewald is one of a select group of dealers from across the country that will be honored at the 95th annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Exposition in Las Vegas on February 4, 2012. The announcement of this year’s nominees was made by Kim Kelleher, worldwide publisher of TIME, and Tim Russi, executive vice president, North American Operations, for Ally Financial.

The TIME Dealer of the Year award is one of the automobile industry’s most prestigious and highly coveted honors. Recipients are among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who must also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service. Ewald, 58, was chosen to represent the Wisconsin Auto & Truck Dealers Association in the national competition – one of only 50 auto dealers, from 17,000 nationwide, nominated for the 43rd annual award.

The award is sponsored by TIME Magazine in association with Ally, and in cooperation with NADA. A panel of faculty members from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan selects one finalist from each of the four NADA regions and one national Dealer of the Year.

“It’s my passion and pleasure to be a Chevy Buick dealer in Milwaukee,” said Ewald. “The automobile business has provided me with an opportunity to teach my two children my passion and conviction for nurturing the human spirit and how that translates to enjoying my career, building a successful legacy and hoping they achieve the same in their futures.”

That legacy began when Ewald worked for his father’s Chevy Buick dealership in Milwaukee at the age of 12 doing odd jobs during junior high and high school.

“The privilege to work at an early age was a gift from my father because it taught me a strong work ethic and a discipline of how to earn money and keep it,” he said. “The varied jobs I did at this time in my young career served as a foundation for other roles that I would tackle in learning how to eventually run a store of my own.”

Ewald commuted daily from Milwaukee to the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, while maintaining fulltime employment at the family business throughout college.

“This initial stage of work also helped to build a desire and passion for the family business that led to the commitment I made to serve our business for a lifetime,” he added.

Today, the Ewald Automotive Group has six dealerships, plus Mayfair Rent-A-Car and Mayfair Leasing, and is owned by Ewald and his three brothers. Ewald’s father Emil and brother Craig were also chosen to represent the Wisconsin Auto & Truck Dealers Association in the national competition in 1998 and 2001, respectively. His two children and two nephews also work for the business.

The Waukesha area Chevy Buick dealer also gives back to his community as a member and contributor of the American Legion, Oconomowoc Chamber of Commerce, Oconomowoc Rotary and Oconomowoc Lions. He has been a consistent contributor to the YMCA StrongKids Program and CenturyClub, an auxiliary sponsor/contributor for Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital Foundation, official sponsor/ contributor for the Wisconsin Harley Davidson Ridin’ to a Cure breast cancer ride and donated to create the Ewald Soccer Field & Ewald Family Pavilion for the Oconomowoc Soccer Association.

Nominated for the TIME Dealer of the Year Award by William Sepic, president of the Wisconsin Auto & Truck Dealers Association, Ewald and his wife Betty have two children and two grandchildren.

As part of its support for the program, Ally will make charitable contributions to local community causes on behalf of all 50 nominated dealers across the United States. In addition, the 2012 national TIME Dealer of the Year winner will receive a $ 10,000 contribution for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of his or her choice.

La Rabida Children’s Hospital to Host Annual Symposium and Nursing Conference April 20

Perspectives in Care: Medical Trauma in Childhood

Chicago (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

A little boy suffers third-degree burns when a pot of boiling water tips over on him. Doctors immediately sedate him, spend weeks treating his wounds and send the toddler home.

Now his mother can’t get him to go in the kitchen or bathe. Sometimes he’s afraid to go outside. Everything reminds the boy of his painful burns.

This is the psychological impact of medical trauma and the focus of an April 20 comprehensive conference hosted by La Rabida Children’s Hospital.

The joint conference, Perspectives in Care: Medical Trauma in Childhood, will be held at the Tinley Park Convention Center for health care professionals, including nurses, educators and others seeking to learn more about the consequences of significant medical events and strategies to improve the quality of care for children who have latent issues.

Experts define medical trauma as a child's or family's experience of scary, painful, and/or highly distressing medical events and their responses to them. Registration is now open for the daylong conference.

Judith Simon Prager, Ph.D., is one of eight presenters who will address varying aspects of psychological trauma resulting from medical events. Prager will present Verbal First Aid as the keynote speaker.

Liz Jazwiec, R.N., winner of the American Journal of Nursing 2010 Book of the Year Award, is the closing keynote speaker. Yippee! Another Day in Paradise . . . Driving Negativity out of the Workplace will help participants create positivity at work.

La Rabida’s Brad Stolbach, Ph.D., a nationally recognized expert on post traumatic stress syndrome disorder (PTSD), will discuss the nuisances of treatment strategies in So What is Trauma-Informed Care Anyway and How Do Know if I’m Providing It?

Ruby Roy, M.D. and Lindsay Amper, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow at La Rabida Children’s Hospital, will also address psychosocial and medical issues related to trauma.

A nursing track of the conference will include presenters Melissa Alderfer, Ph.D., the Cancer Center of The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and La Rabida’s Rose Briars, N.D., PNP-BC, CDE.

Amper said the overall goal of the conference is to highlight a new field of study in the worlds of psychology and medicine, as well has helping children heal – inside and out.

“A child who has a burn is constantly reminded of trauma to their skin,’’ she said. “We try to establish a sense of safety and let them know you’ll never lose the memory, but down the line, the memory won’t be so filled with emotion and trauma. It will just be a memory.”

Learner objectives have been developed for each session and are available at La Rabida Trauma Conference. Objectives also will be listed in the registration materials on the day of the event. Success will be achieved through completed evaluation tools and attendance sign-in sheets.

Register at http://www.larabidamedicaltrauma.eventbrite.com and use promotional discount code "earlybird" before March 15. After March 15, the fee is $ 160.
