Notably, his implementation of the Food Waste to Energy Program garnered recognition in 2020, earning the prestigious Governor's Award for Local Government Excellence for Innovative Community and Governmental Initiatives. As Tom embarks on this new chapter in his life, we wholeheartedly wish him the utmost happiness and fulfillment during his retirement. |

Updates from the eCenter & PA Cybersecurity Center On Friday, June 30th, family, friends, colleagues, and the community of Wayne Osterholm gathered in the eCenter main lobby at LindenPointe to celebrate his creation of CUPOD LLC. The open house began with guests enjoying an array of food and networking with other attendees. Shortly after, guests headed down the eCenter business incubator hallways to suite 103 for a live demonstration. Wayne introduced viewers to the CUPOD, a revolutionary machine that dispenses a powerful yet safe disinfecting solution that is created when pure water is gently reacted with reagent-filled pods. CUPOD will initially target the foodservice industry although the possibilities of branch-off markets are endless. Ultimately, CUPOD is positioning itself as a leader in green solutions that helps keep plastic bottles out of landfills. During the live demonstration, viewers were shocked to learn that the CUPOD machine uses 1 pod which creates 2 gallons of cleaning solution all in only 3 minutes! Wayne Osterholm, creator and CEO of CUPOD, showed guests this fascinating process from start to finish. With an impressive background in environmental science and safety, Wayne originally set out to create a cleaner for refurbishing artwork. However, his idea soon turned into something much greater than ever imagined! Guests went home with their own bottle of CUPOD disinfecting solution and more knowledge about green chemistry and the importance of reducing plastic and waste. The eCenter is very proud to walk alongside CUPOD on their business journey. As the company continues to grow, this location will allow them to expand as they do right here in Hermitage, PA. To learn more about CUPOD visit https://www.cupodllc.com. To learn more about how you can start, grow, or continue your business at the eCenter visit https://ecenterlindenpointe.com! The eCenter’s third and newest entity, the PA Cybersecurity Center or PCC, will commence classes in late August. The program, created in partnership with the eCenter and ForceNow, LLC, will be offered to students from local high schools, colleges, and universities. The program has also partnered with the career center to offer classes to adult learners as well. High School students will have the opportunity to become CompTIA certified while college students and adult learners can also become Cisco CCNA certified. These programs will prepare individuals to fill the 750,000 open cybersecurity jobs across the United States, with 24,000 of them being in Pennsylvania. For more information, please contact Jonathan Steenland at jsteenland@lindenpointe.com or Jeff Meier at jmeier@lindenpointe.com! |
