CHAIR’S MESSAGE

Spring has sprung at the Chamber As the Chamber continues working to grow and strengthen each year, it is our goal to provide our members with the most valuable opportunities possible to get involved, network and grow their business. In order to do this, we adhere to short-term and long-term goals drafted and approved by our board of directors. These goals require us to elevate current efforts to better serve our members and the greater community. To serve the evolving needs of our business community, Chamber events are evaluated regularly based on value to the membership, connection to the Chamber’s mission and financial impact on our organization. As a result of this evaluation, the Sip & Savor dinner event was created to replace the annual Dinner Dance. Since it began in 2014, Sip & Savor has been a huge hit with our members – it’s one of my favorite Chamber events. The evening provides an elegant networking opportunity along with highlighting member chefs and wineries for their delectable creations during a four-course meal. This year, Sip & Savor will feature a masquerade theme and has moved to spring to better accommodate the schedules of our members. The event on Saturday, April 22 is sure to entertain with live and silent auctions, live music, raffles, networking and more. Reserve your seat by April 5 to support area businesses at this formal affair! Each spring, the Chamber also recognizes outstanding individuals, businesses and organizations in our community that go above and beyond to serve their clients and make Chambersburg a great place to work and live. These awards, presented at the Annual Awards Breakfast on Thursday, April 6, are earned by members that deliver exceptional quality of service to their customers, are industry leaders or offer a unique approach to delivery of its goods or services and have a significant impact on the Chambersburg community. I look forward to this breakfast every year because I learn a great deal about what people are accomplishing in our community that I may not have otherwise known about. It’s uplifting to hear about all the innovation and initiative taking place right here in Chambersburg. I’m excited for these upcoming spring events and hope to see you there!

LFC Community talk health, history Health and history were the topics for Leadership Franklin County (LFC) Community in March. The day began at the Waynesboro Hospital with presentations from Barbara Rossini, James Pryor, Ann Spottswood, Dr. Tom Anderson and Dr. Frank Mozdy of Summit Health on topics including the Community Health Needs Assessment, Summit’s role in the community and the opioid epidemic. In addition, they spoke about the importance of other health care providers and community partners such as Keystone Health, and the importance of health care to economic development. Mandy Bakner of Summit Health also provided the class with a tour of the new Medical Office Building in Waynesboro. After lunch the class moved to Renfrew Museum & Park to learn about Franklin County’s history with Janet Pollard of the Franklin County Visitors Bureau. Before the session students were assigned a historical figure to research and prepare a presentation for the class. Frontier settlement, colonial rebellion and the Revolutionary War, sectional division and the Civil War and the Progressive Era were covered. The day ended with a discussion on how these past leaders impact today’s world and lessons that can be learned from them. LFC Community is sponsored by CenturyLink Business.

Youth witness leadership in action After nearly a year of learning about leadership, the Leadership Franklin County (LFC) Youth class witnessed leadership in action at the Franklin County Jail. The day began with Dr. Kim Eaton of Franklin County Government providing background on the jail, statistics on incarceration and the cost of the crimes, courts and corrections courts system. Maria Banks of the Chambersburg Area School District asked the students about what their expectations for the day were. After the background, students were introduced to Deputy Warden James Sullen and Captain Douglas Burget who spoke about the Franklin County Jail and led students on a tour of the facility including intake and the exercise yard. The class then met with a panel of inmates to learn about the circumstances that brought the inmates to this point in their lives and how they are working to improve their lives for the future.

LFC mixer on Apr. 12 Interested in building your leadership skills while learning more about the community? Join current students and alumni for an information mixer to discover how the Leadership Franklin County (LFC) Community program can help you achieve your goals. The mixer will be held Wednesday, April 12 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Chambersburg Heritage Center & Gift Shop, 100 Lincoln Way E. The mixer is free and includes refreshments and light appetizers. Register at www.chambersburg.org/events or call 717-264-7101. Since 1986, LFC has graduated more than 600 area residents from its Community program, developed to produce well-informed, motivated leaders who are willing and capable of working together for the betterment of Franklin County. The program is a tuition-based nine-month program. The class make-up is a mix of emerging and seasoned professionals with diverse backgrounds. Recruitment begins in the spring. A limited number of scholarships are available.

Contest helps high school students develop entrepreneurial skills The inaugural Franklin County High School Business Challenge will hold its final event on Wednesday, April 19. Eight teams from Chambersburg Area Senior High School, Greencastle-Antrim High School, James Buchanan High School and the Franklin County Career and Technology Center submitted written business plans in March. The contest is presented by Chambersburg Area Development Corp. with associate sponsors Southern Installations Inc. and M&T Bank. Four finalists will compete for scholarship money at the finale on April 19, presenting their projects to a panel and be asked questions similar to the TV show Shark Tank. Panelists Mike Ross of the Franklin County Area Development Corp., Cheryl Young of the Small Business Development Corp., and Dr. Stephen Holoviak will then choose the winning team. Each team has been mentored by local business leaders including Tiffany Bloyer of Franklin County Government, Rod Hocker of Johnnie’s Restaurant & Hotel Service, Duane Bock of First Community Bank of Mercersburg, Duaine Collier of Shippensburg Pump Company, Linda Boeckman of Wilson College, Jack Scott of LSI Controls and Jen Barnhart of Kegerreis Outdoor Advertising.

Following the tour and panel, students discussed what they witnessed and compared that to their initial perceptions. After a lunch from Kathy’s Deli, Deputy Warden Sullen and Captain Burget spoke about how they use leadership to manage the jail population and work to build better lives for the inmates upon their release. LFC Youth students are able to participate in the program for free thanks to program sponsor, Wilson College.

DOWNTOWN HAPPENINGS

Reflections on Noel Purdy’s service to our community Since 2008, Noel Purdy has served in numerous roles as part of the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce; most recently as the president of the Chamber and Downtown Chambersburg, Inc. (DCI). Through her dedication, leadership and diligence our community has prospered, and we’d like to thank her for that service. Noel began her career with us as executive director of the Greater Chambersburg Chamber Foundation, our affiliate focused on workforce development, education and citizenship in Franklin County. Her contributions included coordinating the Leadership Franklin County (LFC) community program as well as spearheading a similar program for high school students. Noel also created the LFC Alumni of the Year Award, coordinated countywide career fairs for students, worked with teachers to improve their knowledge of student career opportunities and much more. “Under Noel’s direction, the Leadership program tripled in sized,” said Robin Harmon, executive director of the Foundation. “She had a long-term vision of generating a network of community leaders of all ages that continues to positively impact our area.” In 2011, Noel assumed the role of president of DCI and executive director of the Community Development Corp. of Franklin County. In these roles, she worked with more than 150 volunteers to improve downtown, which included leading the Downtown Master Plan visioning process to attract lasting investment, creating new downtown events, leading public art initiatives and serving as a community resource for investors and business owners. Noel’s leadership helped create a network of dedicated volunteers and staff driven by her passion to see downtown prosper. Some of Noel’s most notable contributions included coordinating events like Oktoberfest, Small Business Saturday, Second Saturdays, etc. She also saw the potential for a vibrant arts community and drove the creation of the Downtown Mural Project, The Foundry artist cooperative and two large-scale mosaic murals. “The community’s involvement and investment in the downtown has increased dramatically under Noel’s direction,” said Sam Thrush, a board member of DCI and active volunteer. “She has a distinct ability to see a need in our community and find the stakeholders and volunteers needed to make it happen. Her vision and passion has started the ball rolling for others to see the great potential downtown

has, and we can see those results in The Foundry, public art and new businesses.” Besides her focus on downtown, Noel has also served our community as president of the Chamber since August 2015. During that time, Noel worked with business and civic leaders to make Chambersburg a great place to live and work. Her ability to connect and network as well as lead a staff of 10 employees enabled the Chamber to thrive. “Noel excelled at juggling multiple arenas and driving progress ranging from property development and commerce to chamber membership and downtown initiatives,” said Kim Crider, board member of the Chamber. “She has been an amazing role model for women in our community, and we are sorry she chose to resign; we’ll definitely miss her leadership.” Noel’s service to our community has not gone unnoticed and has played a pivotal role in the progress of the Greater Chambersburg Chamber Foundation, Downtown Chambersburg, Inc. and the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for your leadership and all you’ve accomplished for our community.

Pie Five Pizza Co. The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry led a multi-industry coalition of advocacy groups in sending a memo last week to the state Senate urging support for a bill that aims to bring consistency between state and federal overtime law. Last year, the U.S. Department of Labor announced plans to increase by more than 100 percent the wage level at which the so-called “white collar exemption” is triggered. This proposal prompted the state Senate Appropriations and Labor and Industry Committees to hold a hearing at which multiple employers and non-profit representatives testified to the challenges they experience with overtime rules, including an unintended quirk unique to Pennsylvania law that adds additional burdens. Federal overtime law currently includes guidelines that help employers and employees in certain circumstances mitigate some of these unintended negative impacts of overtime rules. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania law is silent on many of these rules, which has inadvertently forced employers to forgo utilizing federal guidelines because a workplace policy may be found to have violated state law even though it is compliant under federal statute. The bill, which Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Luzerne, plans to introduce, simply provides that employers may rely on the federal guidelines unless state law explicitly prohibits a particular rule. “The outcome of last year’s USDOL proposal remains uncertain as it makes its way through the courts,” the memo stated. “In the meantime, Senator Baker’s bill will help those nonprofits, human service agencies, educational institutions, other employers in your district and their employees comply with overtime laws. We urge you to cosponsor this legislation.” This article was written by the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. For more information, visit www.pachamber.org.

Small Business Week: Recognizing the impact of small businesses Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. This year, the week will be celebrated from April 30 through May 6.

More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness. Pennsylvania is home to nearly one million small businesses employing 2.4 million workers. Entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses bring new ideas, tools, technology, and jobs to Pennsylvania, creating opportunities throughout our state. In 2012 alone, Pennsylvania small businesses created more than 72,000 new jobs. Of the 22,000+ small businesses established in 2013, over 77 percent were still open and doing business one year in 2014 – a major milestone for new companies. Information about resources for small business as well as events coordinated for National Small Business Week are available on the Pennsylvania Small Business Week website: pasmallbiz.dced.pa.gov.
