Betsy Titus – Underwriters Laboratories
Business Development Manager, Global Building Materials and Life Safety & Security Industries - “SUMMER SAFETY CHECKLIST” - With more than 25 years at Underwriters Laboratories (UL), safety is a second language for business development manager Betsy Titus. Betsy works within the independent safety organization’s Global Building Materials and Life Safety & Security Industries, which includes testing and certifying products such as personal flotation devices, personal protection equipment and fire suppression systems. In addition, Betsy’s team also tests building materials and contents for fire resistance and containment. Add “mother of three” to her resume, and it’s “safe” to say that Betsy understands the important role safety plays in keeping families happy and healthy. With one child off to college, one in high school and the youngest in grade school, UL has helped Betsy understand the unique set of safety considerations parents must know for every age. When not managing her family’s safety routine, Betsy furthers UL’s public safety mission by working closely with fire marshals, fire chiefs, architects, insurance companies, fire protection engineers and building industry professionals to improve safety both at work and at home.

Brooke Long (Brief Case Model, NBC's "Deal or No Deal")
Before Brooke Long was a professional model, actress, host, and cheerleader who cheered for the San Diego Chargers, the L.A. Avengers, the L.A. Lakers, and the Miami Heat, she was an adventurous Southern California girl growing up in Chino Hills. Long is a born performer who has many talents and rather dangerous interests, ranging from sword fighting, bungee jumping, rock climbing, and doing aerial work. This year she has added skydiving. But when not doing any of these ho-hum activities, she loves to model, act, host, dance, and sing. She is the host for HD Networks "Smashbrain TV" and Co-host for "Get Out" and appeared on a variety of television shows including "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment," "Entourage," "Bound for Glory," "Showtime Dreams," "Nikki," "The Greg Behrendt Show," and "Jimmy Kimmel Live." You can catch Brooke in the upcoming film "The Comebacks" where she plays Matthew Lawrence's fantasy girl. She has also been in "Orange County," "Good Advice," "Tom Cats," "Gigli," and "Little Nikki." Besides acting, she has graced the pages of magazines like Maxim, FHM, Muscle and Fitness, Teen, YM, M Magazine, ESPN, and Vegas Magazine.
