A Reunion That Demonstrates The True Power Of Partnership

From peers to partners, trust is the bond that brings CEO and founder, Mary Vandenack and managing member Rachel Truhlsen to practice together as part of Vandenack Weaver Truhlsen. Early in their careers, Mary Vandenack and Rachel Truhlsen had the opportunity to work together, at the law rm owned by Vandenack’s father. Since then, they have been on parallel paths – establishing their own law rms; focusing on estate planning, wealth preservation, business, tax planning, and more; sharing a client-rst philosophy; and pursuing philanthropic and leadership experiences with other women. Now the two are united again, practicing together at Vandenack Weaver Truhlsen.

WHO’S WHO IN LOCAL BUSINESSES

DATA ANALYTICS MANAGER, LUTZ

Tony DeSantis

HOMETOWN: COLUMBIA, MARYLAND

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. - VINCE LOMBARDI What was your first job? Technically it was mowing lawns for the neighbors, but the first job I got a real paycheck from was lifeguarding and swim coaching. Biggest career break: Less than a year out of college, I took the stand in a corporate case we were assisting with. I testified to the difference between Excel and FoxPro and how they handled data. I was one of, if not the youngest, person to testify at the accounting firm I was with. That experience and exposure certainly played a role in my confidence throughout my career as well as well as opportunities I was afforded after that. What got you interested in your current field of work? An internship during college showed me the possibilities of blending technology and business. I enjoyed understanding how businesses operated, but also liked the technology side. Writing code, exploring data and ultimately creating meaningful insights out of the data. Blending both worlds was the perfect match for me. How do you create a work-life balance? For me it is about prioritization, time management and managing expectations on both fronts. With four active kids, I make it a priority to be present, attend, coach or participate in as many of their activities as possible. If that means working early or getting back to work later in the evening so I don’t miss those events, then I am all for that. Luckily, I work for a company that understands and supports that type of flexibility. But it’s also important to communicate at home about when I won’t be around or have work commitments. I feel like I’m constantly learning what works and doesn’t work, but communication for me has always been the key, whether that’s at home or with your bosses at work. What do you find appealing about your job? For me, the ability to help companies understand their business

better, get insights they may not have already had, and see that “ah-ha” moment of when they see the value of the reporting and analytics. I also like the fact that I am constantly problem solving. No two clients are exactly alike so I must be agile in my approach, decisions and solutioning for them. It keeps challenging me day in and day out.

at first Lutz was my side hustle. I consulted for them by day, and played CFO, COO, plumber, electrician, superfood ninja, and barista by night (or early morning). Eventually, with my wife took over more of the dayto-day operations at Vitality Bowls, and I took on the full-time role at Lutz and now the cafes have become my side hustle.

What have been some of the most memorable/ unusual projects you’ve been involved in? I’ve been lucky throughout my career to be involved in some really unique projects. I was involved in the UN Oil for Food investigation which looked at Saddam Hussein’s bribery and kickback scheme after sanctions as well as the Siemens AG Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation. Both of those projects involved the collection of hundreds of different data sources, piecing information together and trying to recreate the facts and circumstances of actions that occurred years in the past. Not only was the subject matter itself interesting, but the projects provided the opportunity to learn new technology, new analytic techniques and threw in some international travel. While maybe not as high profile, more recently I worked with a client to help them gain access to their data, visualize the data in more meaningful ways while also taking a reporting process that would take 10 - 12 hours a month, down to 30 minutes. With my current focus on small to mid-size clients, the ability to help them gain efficiencies, drive value and identify actionable insights, can make a significant difference to their livelihood.

What’s your favorite way to spend a day off? I love spending time with the family. Whether it’s coaching one of the kids, or attending one of their events, most weekends you’ll find me on a sideline somewhere.

Have you ever had a side hustle or considered having one? As I transitioned from my former role as a partner in the forensic department of a big four accounting firm to my current role at Lutz, my wife and I decided to open up a couple of Superfod Cafe’s called Vitality Bowls. I was introduced to Lutz during that time and

What career accomplishments are you the most proud of? For me, the accomplishments I’m most proud of are seeing the team members I led, trained, mentored, and developed that have gone on to their own successes. Throughout my career, I have been lucky enough to be heavily involved in the recruiting of team members, developing training and leading that training for new hires and building practices. For me, I have always been most proud when I see someone I hired out of school or hired onto the team reach new levels of success in their career. What are you currently working on? Currently I am focused on the continued build out of the Analytics and Insights Service line at Lutz. I am focused on our strategy and goals for the next 3 - 5 years as we continue to reimagine the value we can bring to our client. Being in the technology space, I need to be looking out to anticipate where things may be heading, while still serving our clients current needs.

LINCOLN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

COVER story ALEC GORYNSKI, CEO OF LINCOLN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

EMPOWERING, HELPING, impacting LINCOLN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FACILITATES PHILANTHROPY AND UNITES COMMUNITY Serving as a connector and philanthropic partner to the Lincoln community since 1955, Lincoln Community Foundation continues to facilitate collaboration and philanthropy efforts across the city while focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities that exist for the future success of Lincoln.

A Faithful Steward

As the oldest community foundation in Nebraska, Lincoln Community Foundation defines its areas of work in three categories — the first being a philanthropic partner that works with donors to manage philanthropic interest by offering various tools such as donor advised funds and assistance with establishing endowment funds. In its second role as a community investor, Lincoln Community Foundation awards discretionary community grants, as well as scholarship programs on behalf of donors. Currently, Lincoln Community Foundation supports 90 scholarship funds across the state of Nebraska.

In 2021, the organization had a record-breaking year, generating $46 million in contributions. Alec Gorynski, CEO of Lincoln Community Foundation, said this amount represents funds that will be, or have been, reinvested in the Lincoln community. “On our grant making side and charitable program expenses into the community, we granted more than $23 million last year,” Gorynski said. “Some of that money represents our discretionary dollars, whether that is open door grants, which meet existing needs or address challenges and opportunities of nonprofit organizations, or it might be areas of affordable housing and early childhood education.” Finally, in its third role, Lincoln Community Foundation focuses on community leadership, which involves identifying and organizing efforts around the community’s unique needs. “Our responsibility goes well beyond just holding and deploying philanthropic resources in partnership with charitably-minded individuals in our community,” Gorynski said. “We also have the responsibility of truly knowing our community.”

Charity exists because we can’t look to government institutions to solve our problems, instead we have to look inward and invest in the future of our community. - ALEC GORYNSKI, CEO OF LINCOLN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Implementing Data

One way Lincoln Community Foundation better understands the community and its citizens is through Lincoln Vital Signs — a massive data project, in partnership with the University of Nebraska’s public policy center, that was launched in 2014. Funded with discretionary resources, Lincoln Vital Signs is published every two years, providing a comprehensive look at the socioeconomic conditions of Lincoln. The 2022 iteration will be published in a few months. To utilize the data, Lincoln Community Foundation also initiated Prosper Lincoln, a collective impact model for community change and collaboration that brings together leaders from across the community to set priorities and establish a shared agenda for positive change to address the findings of Lincoln Vital Signs. “The goal is economic and social prosperity for our community,” Gorynski said. “With our data, we were able to identify early childhood education, affordable housing, strong neighborhoods, innovative workforce and civic investments as top areas that we need to focus on.”

Encouraging Generosity

In order to further support a culture of philanthropy, Lincoln Community Foundation established Give to Lincoln Day in 2012. The donor-driven community philanthropy event held on May 26 this year connects charitable contributions from donors to various local nonprofits in the Lincoln community. This year, there are over 480 local nonprofits participating. In the years since its creation, Give to Lincoln Day has raised more than $41 million for local organizations in Lincoln.

“We help individuals be philanthropic,” Gorynski said. “Philanthropy can often be associated with a particular organization or cause, but sometimes individuals’ interest is much broader than that. We recognize that they care about this community that we live and work in and they want to support the future. We also understand that the needs of today are likely going to be different than the needs of tomorrow, which is another reason why giving back to the community is vital.”

Philanthropy is for Everybody

For a community to be successful and sustainable, there are a handful of necessities. For starters, Gorynski said access to resources that will deliver healthy outcomes, safe and secure housing, and access to employment or opportunities to generate income are critical. “Regardless of where you live, it is yours to own and the future of that community is in your hands,” Gorynski said. “We cannot expect that others are necessarily going to take care of the future of our community for us. Whether it’s workforce, housing or the education of our children, all of those areas are necessary for the long term economic and social success of the community. A community also needs to be interesting, culturally vibrant and environmentally sustainable. For a prosperous community, we as individuals need to take on that responsibly. Organizations and businesses exist for this reason and all require charitable resources to operate and be successful. Charity exists because we can’t look to government institutions to solve our problems, instead we have to look inward and invest in the future of our community.”

“Cornhusker Bank took the time to understand my business strategy. I feel heard and respected by everyone on their team. Their support gives me the confidence to continue to expand our business.”

Initiated by Lincoln Community Foundation in 2012, Give to Lincoln Day — a donor-driven community philanthropy event held on May 26 this year — continues to support and strengthen a community-wide culture of generosity by connecting charitable contributions from donors to various local nonprofits in the Lincoln community. Now in its 11th consecutive year, there are over 480 local nonprofits participating. The primary goals of Give to Lincoln Day include introducing new donors to local nonprofits, helping the nonprofit community share their stories and shining a spotlight on the importance of fundraising for the benefit of the community.

In the years since its creation, Give to Lincoln Day has raised more than $41 million for local organizations in Lincoln. “The cool thing about Give to Lincoln Day is that anyone can be a philanthropist,” said Lincoln Community Foundation CEO Alec Gorynski. “Regardless of how much their contribution is, we recognize and appreciate that it is meaningful to that individual and it will make an impact. It’s a day where everybody can

come together and be charitable. We use this moment in time to celebrate the act of giving, while raising a significant amount of money for the community.” Last year was a record year, as Give to Lincoln Day connected $8 million of charitable contributions to over 450 nonprofits. According to Gorynski, Give to Lincoln Day is an expression of Lincoln Community Foundation’s mission and responsibly to provide vehicles for community members to give back to Lincoln’s meaningful organizations. Furthermore, Lincoln Community Foundation does not generate any operating revenue from the event. Instead, every donation makes a bigger impact on Give to Lincoln Day because nonprofits also get a proportional share of a $500,000 match fund made possible by Lincoln Community Foundation and generous sponsors.

How to Donate

The minimum donation is $10 and there are a number of ways to contribute now through May 26. While online donations are preferred at givetoLincoln.com, checks are also accepted and individuals may also use their donor advised funds through Lincoln Community Foundation. Those

Philanthropic Spirit

The energy that surrounds Give to Lincoln Day continues to increase each year. Michelle Paulk, vice president of community outreach at Lincoln Community Foundation, said the event definitely serves as a valuable tool to educate and raise awareness for the nonprofit community. “Give to Lincoln Day is fun,” Paulk said. “It’s a day (and a month) our community comes together for the common good. People are watching the leaderboard, checking on how their favorite causes are doing and showing their support for nonprofits that help our community to thrive.”

Without a doubt, philanthropy is an important element to strengthening a community. West Gate Bank has been a long-time sponsor of Give to Lincoln Day, and Kirby Reardon, assistant vice president/commercial lending, said the event has had a tremendous impact over time. Each year, the event increases the amount of donations contributed by individuals, which allow nonprofits to continue operating and providing services. “We are proud to partner with Lincoln Community Foundation each year on this event,” Reardon said. “As a community bank, a large part of our mission is to give back to the community by reinvesting deposits. “We encourage our team to get involved in the community on an individual level, with the hopes that if we’re all contributing, then we are helping our community grow stronger. As the presenting sponsor, it is an important event that we’re happy to partner with Lincoln Community Foundation on to help raise awareness and donations for the nonprofits that do important work to support our community.”

Paulk said individuals are also encouraged to share information about their favorite Lancaster County charities through their channels and network to spread the word about giving to causes they care about through Give to Lincoln Day. While people have the opportunity to be charitable year-round, which is certainly encouraged, Gorynski said Give to Lincoln Day is Lincoln’s one big day of giving where the community can work together to give a little bit more. “Give to Lincoln Day shows our community that generosity is cool and important,” Gorynski said. “We have the opportunity to collectively raise millions of dollars in one day, which all goes back into our local community. It’s really about elevating and celebrating a culture of philanthropy.”

LINCOLN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Nebraska Emerges Stronger

LEGISLATIVE SESSION BRINGS ACTIVE POLICYMAKING As the 107th Legislature ended the 2022 legislative session on April 20, the Sine Die pronouncement marked the end of a busy and productive session at the Capitol. The shorter 60-day session had some unique challenges, including how our state would appropriate and make effective use of over $1 billion in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Over $4 billion in asks were made for programs and other investments across the state, so it was certainly no small task for senators to work through all of the items and formulate appropriate policy as a result. Our state’s economic vitality and continued success also played a part in policymaking this session. Nebraska has weathered the uncertainty surrounding the COVID19 pandemic and emerged with a stronger economy than most states across the country and has even been rated as the very top state when it comes to economic conditions in a post-pandemic landscape. While much work remains for future sessions, the 2022 edition saw crucial pieces of legislation pass, including LB873, which provides historic tax relief to Nebraskans, and LR283CA, a Constitutional amendment that would allow airports across the state to spend revenue toward developing commercial passenger air service. On the topic of tax relief, LB873 will lower the state’s top corporate and income tax rates to 5.84 percent over the next few years, helping to keep our state competitive with surrounding states that offer lower tax rates. LB873 as a whole, cuts income taxes, exempts social security income and ensures significant property tax relief for Nebraskans. We extend our thanks to all Lincoln and Lancaster County senators who voted for this historic tax package in addition to the many proponents who testified on behalf of the Chamber to support this measure. Ultimately, nearly $700 million in funding is allotted

to what have been dubbed “The Good Life Game Changer” policies that address workforce, infrastructure and economic growth priorities through ARPA funds. LB1112 from Senator Terrell McKinney of Omaha would create the Computer Science Technology and Education Act, which intends to address the tech talent workforce crisis. The goal of LB1112 is to prepare Nebraska’s K-12 public school students to compete and thrive in a 21st century workforce. Finally, and very importantly, the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce worked closely with Senator Eliot Bostar and a host of other community supporters, including

the Lincoln Airport Authority, the City of Lincoln and Lancaster County, to pass LR 283 CA, which will provide a very important financial tool for the Lincoln Airport and other smaller airports across the state to attract air service. This was a top issue for the Lincoln Chamber, and we are very pleased to see this issue placed on the November 2022 ballot for all Nebraskans to support. This was a bipartisan, statewide effort with 47 of 49 senators in support and two not voting.

RESOURCE PLANNER, OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT

A meeting of 500 international energy figures at the Oil & Money Conference in London gave the co-sponsor New York Times access to the collective wisdom of the assembled executives, policymakers and financiers. The paper reported a sample of these individuals’ views on the biggest challenges facing the global energy industry. The overriding theme of their answers: finding new methods and technology for maximizing fossil fuel collection; generating more efficient means of alternative energy production; and modernizing energy delivery and storage systems. That was 2019, and while none of those interviewed could have envisioned the maelstrom of challenges lying in wait with COVID-19 just around the corner, their fundamental assertions are no less valid today. Innovation — be it operational, technological or both — is the fundamental challenge facing the energy business. The past 30 months has done nothing but underscore this fact, as the nation struggles under rising prices, shrinking available labor and the drive to pivot from traditional energy sources to alternative power. “Recent supply chain, global events and general economic issues such as inflation have had major effects on the cost of new generation, primarily renewables,” said Will Crane, director of product management for Bluestem Energy Solutions. Page 12 • May 20, 2022­

“Supply chain disruption has caused pricing issues as shipping costs have shot up dramatically, but perhaps an even bigger issue with rising costs is inflation. We are seeing commodity prices rise across segments including steel, oil and lithium, which are all key components that are used in energy generation and storage.” These economic levers plaguing the energy sector are no mere blip on a balance sheet. The historic confluence of scant labor, fractured supply chain and shaky global financial markets exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine are painting a bleak picture that experts predict will last years, not months. In its Commodity Markets Outlook Report, released earlier this year, the World Bank predicts energy prices will rise more than 50% in 2022 before easing in 2023 and 2024. Oil is forecasted to top $100 a barrel this year, a 40% increase over 2021 prices. While oil prices are expected to moderate to $92 a barrel next year, that’s still well ahead of the five-year average of $60. Natural gas and coal are both expected to follow suit. If that’s not enough, all of 2022’s woes come on the heels of 2021, which saw energy prices outpace other commodities in terms of price hikes. Prices jumped 59% last year, more than twice that of other commodities.

District, put these global trends into a local context. She said while MUD has worked hard to minimize the cost of delivering natural gas in areas it can control, that doesn’t account for elements outside of the organization’s direct purview. “There are two aspects of a customer’s gas bill — ‘pass-through’ costs and costs to operate the district,” she said. “MUD is proud that the rate components used to fund operational costs have not changed since 2017. “However, pass-through costs, which include transportation costs to move gas to our market area as well as the cost of natural gas, have changed. The cost of natural gas fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, due to a variety of factors including production, national storage levels and weather impacts. We use strategies to lessen the impact of rising natural gas prices and to minimize price volatility, but the district cannot shelter

our customers from all price increases.” Per Christensen, the average market gas price for Q1 2022 was $5.91 per decatherm (Dth), more than twice that per Dth for the same period in 2021. Adding to the situation is lower-than-average supply; as of April 1, the Energy Information Administration reported natural gas storage levels for the U.S. were down 22.4% year over year and 17.1% below the five-year average.

Improving Technology

Energy costs, of course, do not operate in a vacuum, but rather impact the price of virtually everything else. Higher electrical costs mean higher manufacturing costs just like higher gas and diesel prices affect the logistical expense related to bringing goods to market. For this reason, the energy industry is under increased pressure to develop alternative sources of energy as well as improve current technologies.

“Our Grid Modernization Strategic Initiative is underway,” said Will Pickle, resource planner for Omaha Public Power District. “This initiative is focused on modernizing the electrical grid and working towards advanced metering infrastructure technology in the future. “AMI is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks and data management systems that enables twoway communication between the utilities and customers. This will open up options and services to better communicate with customers and also to better serve their changing preferences and needs.” Companies are also being scrutinized for their environmental responsibility, generally referred to as decarbonization, an eco-buzzword term that’s quickly become a matter of public policy. The industrial sector currently accounts for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, per the U.S Department of

Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, second only to the transportation sector, which accounts for 35% of GHG. As such, the Biden Administration has set the goal for American companies to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, moving some states to pass laws concerning adoption of electric vehicles and other green-focused requirements for the business community. As forward-looking companies are moved to take action, they’re looking to local utilities to row alongside them. In addition to broadening customers’ energy usage to more than 35% from renewable resources last year, OPPD has embraced this challenge in other ways. The utility has initiated a battery storage pilot project, for instance, which is expected to go into commercial operation later this year. The pilot is one example of the

technological innovation called for in the company’s Pathways to Decarbonization Strategic Initiative. That study identifies the growing role of electrification and the challenges of moving communities toward a net-zero carbon footprint while providing innovative solutions around energy storage, load flexibility and other efficiencies. Christensen said MUD is working with OPPD on its decarbonization plan, specifically in addition to two new natural gas-fueled generation facilities to support growth and ensure resiliency in the region. “Adding natural gas backup to the solar facilities is an important component that will improve reliability and quickly provide power when the sun isn’t shining,” she said. “This project also emphasizes the environmental benefits of natural gas toward reducing emissions and will have a positive long-term impact on the community.

Making Headway

Such initiatives are already achieving the desired effect. Christensen noted energyrelated carbon emissions are at their lowest

levels in nearly three decades, she said thanks in large part to switching from coal to natural gas to fire electric plants. “We believe natural gas and its infrastructure play a critical role in further lowering these levels. Working together, natural gas and renewables can hasten our reduction of emissions while keeping energy affordable and reliable,” she said. There’s also considerable investment being made for the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) as a replacement fuel for gasoline. “The district continues to lead in the market development of compressed natural gas as a vehicular fuel and has been experimenting with renewable natural gas through the Douglas County landfill gas project for the past several years,” Christensen said. “A portion of the RNG from the landfill is assigned to local CNG fueling stations and helps fuel the district’s entire natural gas fleet of more than 160 light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles. In 2021, MUD also dispensed more than 3.3 million gasoline gallon equivalents of CNG across the

service territory, the highest amount in the district’s history. “Additionally, MUD has partnerships with local and regional fleets, including Metro, the Omaha area’s mass transit provider, which operates more than 20 CNG buses in its regular fleet and nine ORBT articulating buses. FCC Environmental operates its fleet of more than 70 CNG trucks as part of the City of Omaha’s refuse contract. These trucks utilize approximately 100,000 Dth annually, or the equivalent of 1,200 residential homes’ annual gas usage.” Meanwhile, Bluestem Energy continues to improve the technology associated with solar and wind energy, specifically in the area of storage. “Energy storage will be crucial to allowing more renewables to be built, while maintaining a reliable and resilient grid,” Will Crane said. “As wind and solar have become mature technologies and have proliferated onto the grid, storage is becoming a key tool we are using to increase the grid’s capability to handle more renewable power. “With wind and solar being intermittent generating sources, energy storage can

help ‘flatten’ the generating profile of these technologies by storing power when there is excess generation, then discharging when the demand on the grid grows and the generation from the renewables falls.” Crane also noted improvement to the electrical grid is required to achieve greater efficiency on the transmission side. He said current grid capacity is not sufficient for the smooth delivery of power generated by these alternative sources, something improved batteries and other storage technology can’t address entirely. “Currently, most of the transmission system is built around the idea of having large energy-generating facilities that deliver power to the end user,” he said. “However, as wind and solar penetration has grown, the needs of the transmission system have changed as well. “There is a shortage of transmission capacity available for new generating sources. Energy storage can help mitigate this to an extent, but thoughtful new-build transmission infrastructure will be crucial to the continued implementation of renewable generating sources.”

HOLMES MURPHY

INSURANCE brokerage BEAU REID, NEBRASKA MARKET LEADER, HOLMES MURPHY

Future Focused

HOLMES MURPHY MARKS NINE DECADES AND COUNTING The corporate karma of Holmes Murphy has always resided within a certain measured audacity, anticipating future opportunities to inform the actions of the here and now. It is, after all, a firm launched during the Great Depression, arguably the worst period in history to start an insurance company, with the undaunted vision of building something great. And build it has. Holmes Murphy is now a regional power that employs 1,000 and generates millions in top line annual revenue. Yet, as impressive as the last nine decades have been, company leadership is far more interested in where the company is going. “Our culture of leading with innovation is going to serve us well because a lot of market change is coming,” said Beau Reid, Nebraska market leader. “We’re very aware of leading-edge things that are coming to the industry and that’s going to play a big role in us remaining relevant with our customer base. “The DNA of this company has been innovation and adapting to change and embracing change before the market actually goes there, particularly on the employee benefits side. We have been on the forefront of change in the health insurance world. I like to say if you’re just looking for somebody who’s good with the status quo, we may not be

your broker. The philosophy has paid off for the Waukee, Iowa-based firm, especially as COVID-19 has rewritten everything about daily life. The insurance industry, particularly, has found itself between shifting tectonic plates of internal and external change. “Our company didn’t have a ton of remote workers [before COVID19]; we had to really figure that out in fairly short order and get proficient at it,” Reid said. “Our willingness to adapt technology and embrace it quickly enabled us to serve our customers.”

Challenges as Opportunities Rapid adaptation to uncertain market conditions has been an element of the company’s modus operandi since Max Holmes opened his insurance agency in 1932, building it through the remaining years of the Great Depression. He partnered with Raymond Murphy Jr. in 1948. Reid said the market forces and insurance trends that have followed conditioned the company for the kinds of uncertainties COVID-19 represents for the insurance industry, particularly as it applies to health insurance benefits. “That’s a question our industry is coming to grips with right now,” he

said. “In terms of health insurance, we couldn’t have anticipated the supply chain consequences from COVID in 2020 which led to a massive lockdown. We couldn’t anticipate how that would change the workforce working from home. “But we didn’t feel all that much impact from it in terms of health insurance claims. It was a delayed impact. Omicron, in the fourth quarter of last year, led to a much greater impact than COVID did in 2020, mainly because back then the government took the sting out of that by basically covering the cost for a lot of testing and treatment.” Reid said as clients come to terms with their own market challenges, they’re looking to all service providers, including insurance companies, to be more consultative than in the past. This expectation is changing everything from how firms communicate with customers to providing better tools for individual employees to access and manage their benefits. “We are largely viewed as business partners in a lot of ways. Waiting for someone to tap us on the head and say, ‘Hey, can you help me buy this form of insurance?,’ isn’t really how it works anymore,” he said. “We sit down, we figure out where they have friction and where they have issues and we see what we can do to help solve those problems. “On the employee benefits side, the most successful technology has

been around communication platforms, helping HR departments communicate with employees in remote locations. They need something to push information out to the employees where they can get information on their own. For example, where can I access mental health care when I’m being told it’s a 30-day wait to get in? Where can I get access to virtual care?”

Forward Focused Holmes Murphy’s other major initiative is succession planning. Privately owned by about 170 employees, the company is midway through a carefully orchestrated strategy to help perpetuate the business for the next 30 to 50 years. “The very thing that makes us unique and great could lead some people to be nervous about the future of our business,” he said. “It’s essential we have a plan that serves as a clear blueprint for the next generation. It’s in the fiber of this company to give that generation the opportunity to create wealth, not just work for an income. “Participating in the growth and the success of something as an owner is a much different perspective; it drives innovation and I think it’s what makes us unique.”

LULUBEE ARTISANAL CHOCOLATES

SMALL business GAYLENE STEINBACH, OWNER OF LULUBEE ARTISANAL CHOCOLATES

Connector

LULUBEE CHOCOLATES SUPPORTS LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES Lincoln’s Lulubee Artisanal Chocolates owes its growth to the passion of its owner, Gaylene Steinbach, and its outreach to other local businesses. Steinbach first caught the chocolate-making bug from her mother, and her passion grew from living in different countries and learning about local flavors. A former dental hygienist, Steinbach found that many of her skills transferred over — highly-detailed work and science — plus, chocolate making allows her to tap into her creative side. Over the next few years Lulubee Artisanal Chocolates will focus on increasing community outreach and partnering with other local small businesses. “I want to increase the number of offerings we have and to grow within our community, reaching out to the community and other small local businesses to form connections,” Steinbach said. Bonbons are the shop’s specialty. Lulubee also makes chocolate bars, turtles, caramels, toffee, and it recently expanded into flavored caramels. Steinbach hopes to expand into different kinds of chocolate bars, some of them made by the company and others imported from around the world.

Supporting Local Businesses When possible, Lulubee uses ingredients from local suppliers. For example, pecans come from Twin Springs Pecans. The shop also uses products from nearby wineries as ingredients. “One area where we have strong desire and a presence is working with other businesses,” Steinbach said. Lulubee has put logos on chocolates for companies like A Novel Idea Bookstore, Capitol View Winery & Vineyards, Farmers Mutual, Lovestruck Events, and Spectrum. It makes custom chocolate pieces for Bavvy and Talent+, and it is working with other companies to provide customized gift sets companies can give to their partners and employees. “My intention is to create a really beautiful tasting experience,” Steinbach said. “I want to explore other avenues of chocolate that I can expand my lineup.” The company’s best form of promotion is social media. “Almost everything we’ve done up to this point has been very organic through social media,” Steinbach said. “[Social media] is such an everchanging world it has been a full-time job to learn how to navigate that.”

One area where we have strong desire and a presence is working with other businesses. - GAYLENE STEINBACH, OWNER OF LULUBEE ARTISANAL CHOCOLATES

Dental Hygienist to Chocolatier After graduating from UNMC College of Dentistry, Steinbach worked as a dental hygienist, and taught at the College of Dentistry for many years, before deciding to be a stay-at-home mom. “[That] turned out to be a blessing because it was at that point that my husband’s job took him overseas for long periods of time,” she said. Steinbach had a chance to experiment with different foods in the regions where they lived and to learn about flavors that are familiar to other cultures. “My passion for flavors was developed so much from our time overseas,” she said. While Steinbach was growing up, her mother had made chocolates and gifted them to family and friends at Christmas. When Steinbach and her family returned from living in the Philippines, her mother sent her a gift of chocolates. “That piqued my interest and started me off on this journey,” she said. “I didn’t know how this person had gotten so much flavor into that little morsel and how they had become so beautiful. I could not get enough information about making chocolates. I read everything I could, attended workshops and classes, and experimented in my basement.” After her family and friends encouraged her to open her own business, Steinbach started Lulubee in kitchen space she rented from Destinations Coffee House. She cooked out of that kitchen for five years and achieved her dream of opening a brick-and-mortar store in November 2020. The shop now has nine employees. “I feel there are so many crossovers from [dental hygiene] to what I do now,” Steinbach said. “It’s a very fine detailed job. Everything we do is hand-crafted from hand-painting our designs to hand-creating the ganache that’s inside — all of those hand touches that were part of my job before. “Also, there’s so much science involved with creating recipes and understanding the process of tempering chocolate. Chocolate takes it one more step in that it mixes not only the science aspect but also allows me a creative side.” Steinbach gives a big chunk of the credit for her success to her support group.

“There’s no way in the world I could have done any of this on my own,” she said. “I have so many people around me who are lifting me up and helping guide me through the challenges of owning a small business for the first time in my life. They’re helping me navigate the worlds of advertising, marketing, outreach, and finance. I feel that connections are very important. “I bring to the table my ability to be compassionate and connect with other people, but there are so many parts of owning a business that I do not possess. I’ve been fortunate to have people to lean on within my family, within my friend group, and within other small businesses that I can reach out to for advice and support.” Steinbach and her husband, Joe, have two daughters who inspired the name of her store — Lauren, whose nickname is Lulu, and Bailey, whose nickname is Bee. “I still want to learn everything I can,” Steinbach said. “There’s so much to learn, so many flavors to try out and experiment with. So many of the flavors I chose were based on my personal living experience — memories from childhood and memories from travel. I love this medium as an art because there’s so much creativity. The possibilities with chocolate and with flavors are endless, and that’s just exciting to me.”

TRIAGE STAFFING’S CHAD SIDERIS TACKLES WORKFORCE DEMAND

CHAD SIDERIS, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING TECHNOLOGY & LEAD GENERATION

If there’s an industry more challenging than staffing, it could only be staffing services that cater to the health care industry. Historically low unemployment, COVID-19 considerations and the Great Resignation have all taken bites out of the local talent market, which in health care’s case, had already been running at a deficit for years. That’s what makes Chad Sideris’s four-year track record with Triage Staffing so impressive. Despite all the market challenges before him, Sideris has led the company to record numbers, done largely by intelligent use of technology and social media marketing. “We’re really looking for people who are giving us signals that they want to do something and we’re looking at them primarily through Google Search and basically some contract negotiation,” he said, being careful not to disclose the secret ingredients to his successful recruitment formula.

Brave New World Sideris might play cagey with his strategy — and with good reason — but the results speak for themselves. During his tenure, Triage’s lead generation efforts have increased 580%. In 2020, the company’s best year to date, Sideris’s lead generation resulted in half of the company’s new business, thanks to smart use of Google and Facebook ads and forming strategic media partnerships. “In the world of Google search, I was in the really fortunate position of having worked at a place called Proxibid where we were doing auctions for anything under the sun,” Sideris said. “I kind of learned what does and doesn’t work for different categories, based on search volumes and things like that. “I was able to apply that working knowledge of things that would and would not work in searches and use that to find [Triage] candidates en masse in ways that most people don’t know how to do.

Learn to Pivot Sideris’s career game plan, after earning a degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2013, was to be a copywriter. Those jobs proved scarce at graduation, so he took a role in digital marketing. His boss moved on to Triage Staffing and invited her former team member to come along. The move resulted in a match made in social media marketing heaven. “I enjoy a lot about this line of work,” Sideris said. “I think Triage is really on the cutting edge of this space. It’s fun to try to find holes in the product, the process and automate/ improve upon it in ways that I don’t think our competitors have thought about yet. Maybe that’s cocky, but that’s what I’m trying to do.” Another element of success is the ability to adapt to future trends, which is exactly what Sideris is focused on having been promoted to the company’s director of marketing technology and lead generation a few months ago. He said the company that best accelerates processes and streamlines operations via technology holds the upper hand in the cutthroat traveling staffing market. “I think the way that the market is headed is emulating the trajectory of Google, working towards empowering the actual traveler [employee],” he said. “For a long time, agencies have owned every part of the process. If you needed your resume, you’ve got to say, ‘Hey, can I please have the resume you built for me?’ That’s not what we’re looking to do here. “We’re moving away from that model of the agency owning the process and instead giving power to the traveler as everyone who’s making headways in these spaces has done. A lot of companies really don’t like that shift, but I think PRESENTING SPONSOR it’s going to help us win.”
