Try to imagine a transportation system
such a transportation system would have on the State of Maine. Those terms are “connectivity” and “global markets”. By developing easier, faster and more efficient delivery of product, Maine will become a significant player in the global marketplace. All of this will be augmented by the potential for increased port activity in Eastport, again providing connectivity to new markets for Maine products. The Port at Eastport is closer to European markets than any other east coast American port. Preliminary planning for the project is continuing. Individual landowner issues and environmental concerns lead the list of challenges. Any challenge can be met with thoughtful planning. The time for this project to move forward is now. Maine needs to become a significant participant in the global marketplace. Completion of this project will be a real game-changer for Maine’s very fragile economy. ◊

From the President’s Chair
Skowhegan Savings & Cappza’s Pizza 92 Main Street, Fairfield September 18 · 5:30-7PM
2013 has been a pivotal year for me in my role as Chamber president in that we are moving more into workforce development Bowdoin than ever before. With the help of Jim PeaPhotography cock of Peak-Careers Consulting, Waterville Public Library, KVCAP, Central Maine Growth Council and a handful of others, Mid-Maine Chamber has been trying to get its arms around the current regional resources for job seekers so that we can aid you, our members, in attracting qualified employees to fill your vacant positions. More info will be forthcoming on this as we determine the best way to get the word out about the resources we do have to better communicate to job seekers. Moreover, this week will be our second meeting with the Department of Labor (Commissioner & Deputy Commissioner) as it examines “best practices” for delivering career services around the state. We think Waterville has established a pretty effective model; that being said, I am pushing for financial assistance in the delivery of the program since our CareerCenter was closed years ago. Stay tuned. And for you, the employers, we are encouraged by the upsurge in participation on our new Web site and the “job postings” link (www.midmainechamber.com homepage, left hand side). Currently, we have three pages of postings illustrating to us that we have lots of open positions in our region…now to link those jobs with qualified applicants! Posting a position on our site is free to chamber members; all you need is your user name and password. Call Amy at the Chamber for assistance. Lastly, in 2013-2014, we will continue to work with Winslow High School’s JMG and career prep programs as well as WorkReady® setting up mock interviews and student career business tours. Dates & times have been established for both fall and spring. Last year we worked with nearly 150 students, helping them to make more informed career choices by recognizing what is available in our region. If you would like to participate, please give me a shout. Enjoy our beautiful fall!
- Kimberly

Good Health = Good Business: Five Wellness Strategies Every Small Employer Can Do By William McPeck, MSW, CWWPC
As
an employee well-being specialist and someone who is passionate about helping small employers, I recognize that while small employers want to do the right thing, there are many challenges associated with bringing worksite wellness strategies to your employees. I have concluded that with a little effort and a little assistance from local health nonprofits, every small employer can do the following five strategies: 1.) Periodically ask employees for their input and ideas regarding the work environment, work processes and their needs and interests. Suggestions: Ask individual employees and groups of employees – use focus groups Conduct needs and interests surveys Conduct culture/climate surveys Conduct safety surveys 2.) Regularly provide health and safety awareness materials and educational opportunities to employees. Suggestions: Use the National Health Observances monthly calendar to guide your delivery of awareness material. Here is the link: http://healthfinder.gov/NHO/nhoPDF/201 3nho.pdf Give out newsletters, bulletins, tips sheets
4.) Adopt and implement appropriate employee management policies. Suggestions: Wellness related policies such as tobacco use, physical activity, nutrition, lactation support Safety related policies etc. Here is a free resource to help get you started: Work/life related policies such as availability of flex-time http://www.healthymaineworks.com/healt hpromo.html Link to community health and wellness 5.)

Tourism Outlook: Sunny with a Chance of Whimsy

Everyone
knows by now that Maine’s #1 industry is tourism, but what’s perplexing about it is how to tap into it as business owners, economic developers, and Mainers to attain prosperity, yet not sacrifice those authentic places we call home? Not to mention that we have limited budgets and even more limited time to work on it. So where to begin? In tourism, the best story wins the day. More than a great sale on socks or sunglasses, telling your story and inviting others to share your experience makes it happen. It also helps to have good storytellers and know where to find them. As president of the Kennebec and Moose River Valleys Region Tourism Council, I can tell you how to tap into those channels without breaking the bank. The State of Maine does tourism outreach to other places through its Office of Tourism (in the Department of Economic and Community Development) As a tourism business or a staycationer, you can access its Web site, visitmaine.com, to see what that looks and feels like, and join in the conversation. You can also see that the state is divided in to 8 tourism regions, and which one fits your geographic or recreational
interests. Our region is represented there at the state level, as well as through our regional site, kennebecvalley.org. With the help of our ad agency, Thalo Blue, our region won the Governor’s Award for Tourism Marketing Excellence this year, so we know we’re doing something right, especially with our guidebook. The Kennebec Explorer, our Facebook persona, also loves to promote anything your business is doing to attract visitors. We have scheduled a photo shoot this fall to collect a substantive library of current, professional images of the region. With so many travel and buying decisions being made through a computer or other electronic device, it helps to have strong visuals, key attractions, modern amenities, and good customer service to guide guests where we want them to go. Mid-Maine has all of those winning attributes, except sometimes perhaps a sense of pride about it! It’s so important for us all to enjoy and explore our backyard, and then tell our family and friends. Go to the Colby Museum, eat at your favorite downtown restaurant, snap a pic on the lake, and share it. ◊
