LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Transformation is the key word for what the Economic Development Association of Skagit County has gone through in 2015. At the end of last year Don Wick, the Executive Director for the last 28 years, announced his retirement.

With terrific unity and focused organization, the Board of Directors formulated a plan to find a replacement and worked through that process with great efficiency. I would like to commend the 18 board members that served EDASC this last year for their time, effort and dedication to find our new Executive Director.

On August 1, 2015 John Sternlicht was named and appointed to carry on the message and mission of EDASC. With a new leader at the helm and the upturn in the economy, John Sternlicht has hit the ground running. A transformation is taking place. Already a new Strategic Plan is being developed and will be unveiled at the Forecast Dinner in February of 2016. With that Strategic Plan in

place, EDASC will provide a new mission and vision for Economic Development in Skagit County and our members and community will be the beneficiaries.

Mary Anstensen I want to thank all our members, EDASC Board County and City leaders, and the President staff at EDASC for your continued VICE PRESIDENT support and dedication through CONSTRUCTION this transitional time. We have an UNLIMITED, INC. organization that is well respected and vital to this Community. Thank you for the privilege to serve as Board President for 2015 and the opportunity to help EDASC transform.

Mary Anstensen

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR It was with great pleasure and humility that I took the reins as EDASC’s first new Executive Director in 28 years last August. Having spent only the past two years in the Pacific Northwest, this is still a wonderful journey of discovery that I expect to continue for a long and happy time. I am honored to be entrusted with the direction of EDASC and the economic development future of Skagit County. What an amazing place, combining natural beauty and abundant resources with welcoming, talented and hard-working neighbors! We are going to accomplish so much together.

The first phase of my tenure has been study, observation and planning. We immediately kicked off our strategic planning process, along with a Board retreat and many, many meetings with organizations and individuals all across the Valley. The Town Hall meeting forming the basis for the strategic plan brought over 130 enthusiastic participants to help chart the course of our county’s economic development progress. Led by our 28 person steering committee, this plan encompasses all areas upon which our economic development success depends. The plan will be introduced at the Economic Forecast Dinner, but will be a living document, continuously updated and improved.

Even while reorganizing EDASC’s internal structure, the work goes on. We have been submitting sites in response to proposals from industrial prospects seeking locations. We have represented Skagit County at trade shows, and most Skagit.org

importantly, we have been working in collaboration with our partners locally and regionally. Our stellar partners such as the Ports of Skagit and Anacortes, Skagit Valley College, our cities and towns, our colleagues John Sternlicht in the non-profit sector, hospitals, Executive Director, schools and particularly our EDASC businesses, farms, and industries are all integral to our success. Refocusing on EDASC’s mission of attracting jobs and talent to Skagit County, and working to help existing businesses expand here, puts us exactly where we’re supposed to be. Working in collaboration with our partners makes us all more effective and successful.

Let me express our appreciation to our members. You have supported EDASC consistently, and we enjoy a large membership base. As we take economic development to its rightful level in Skagit County, we hope you will invest in our collective success to ensure that we can increase our prosperity, diversify our economy, preserve our natural and agricultural heritage, and provide a bright economic future for our children and grandchildren. Thank you for your partnership!

With warm regards,

John Sternlicht

Commissioner Janicki Interviews John Sternlicht stuff. And to me it really promotes a better sense of community.

Lisa: Tell me about the place you grew up.

In this publication we wanted to highlight EDASC’s new Executive Director, John Sternlicht, and the plans he has for EDASC. What better way to explore this topic than to have Skagit County Commissioner Lisa Janicki, herself a past President of the EDASC Board of Directors for two terms, ask the questions?

John: What makes this fun is that

we are two people who work together often and are friends, and you are interviewing me.

Lisa: John, now that you have

been here in Skagit County for a few months, how has your experience here compared to your expectation of what it would be like?

John: I have had a whole lot more

fun than I thought I was going to. For the first year I thought it was going to be really heavy lifting with difficult conversations and awkwardness.

The heavy lifting is here for sure but everybody has been so much more wonderful than I could have hoped or imagined. Everybody in the community that I have talked to is so excited about the possibilities, and that makes the heavy lifting much lighter. And aside from how wonderful the people are, I have found so much talent that I can

ask to help out and they are more than willing. That has made it so much more enjoyable and productive than I figured the first four or five months would be.

Lisa: That is great. Is it hard being in this small of a community? Skagit County is pretty rural and quite a ways from the city.

John: It is rural, but I grew up in a place not too different from this. So in that way it seems really familiar and homey. One of the things I really like is when you go to a meeting you tend to run into some of the same people that you have run into at other meetings and that seems to be more productive in lots of ways. You don’t have to go a long time in between seeing people that you need and want to see. You have more continuity of discussions and also it promotes a sense of “we are all in this together”, not just my stuff and your stuff, but everybody’s

John: I grew up initially in Barrington, Rhode Island as a small child which was a town of about 15,000. Probably not too different from Anacortes, it’s on the water with lots of boating, just way colder and lots more snow. Then we moved, about the time I started school, to Fayetteville, North Carolina which was much bigger: about 50,000 people and the county seat, with nothing of any comparable size for 70 to 100 miles in any direction. So there was a lot of farming, particularly tobacco farming in the area, soybeans, peaches, roadside stands. And there was some manufacturing, textile manufacturing is what brought us down there. My father ran a textile manufacturing plant, making curtains and bedspreads, pillows.

Lisa: So, that similarity is true in Skagit County then, you know the challenges that the farming community has had and the value-add they are trying to bring to the community.

Then the challenges of a changing manufacturing base.

John: That’s right, because the textiles were sort of transitioning their way from the Northeast to the South and then they transitioned their way right on out of the United States.

Lisa: We have got to figure out a way to keep those jobs here. Is that what got you into Economic Development?

Or where did that interest come from?

John: I think that came more from the international side of things. I graduated from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown and all my

electives were in foreign languages, every single last one of them. So I already spoke French and German when I got there and I learned Spanish there but I did a German studies program where I had to write a thesis and defend it in German. After I graduated I got a Rotary International Graduate Fellowship in Switzerland where I studied journalism and mass communications in French. But I wanted to combine a law degree with the international part. So when I started practicing law I was with a multinational law firm and we were looking at bringing companies in as clients who had come to do business in North Carolina from overseas. So that was my entree into Economic Development. The Governor asked me to go on a mission with him and the department and do the presentation to prospects we were talking to on how to do business in North Carolina, in French and German.

Lisa: That’s really fascinating

because sometimes I think it is hard to be proactive in selling yourself. So the State of North Carolina was organized in how they promoted economic development.

John: Right. And they took, as I

recall, I was in Raleigh, our office was in Raleigh. And so it was the Chamber and the local economic development people and some companies, and we went on a mission. We visited not only the companies that had offices or facilities in the Research Triangle that were from Europe, but we also visited some potentials as well. The state of Washington does some of that but I think we have to be very targeted about it, look at what kind of companies we are interested in, which ones might be in a position to expand here, and go after them rather than just a blanket campaign, which nobody has time or money for.

Lisa: What are the opportunities that

you see for Skagit County, or have you been able to kind of identify where our Skagit.org

points of contacts are and who we may be missing?

John: That’s one of the things that I want to find out from our existing businesses, particularly our existing manufacturers. I have talked to them some about that. What are the companies that would help your business if they were located here?

Would it be someone in your supply chain, would it be some of your customers? Some kind of related manufacturer, which could even conceivably be a competitor because then it brings in a critical mass of workforce in some industries like software, for example, where they tend to cluster. So that is one of the first places I would look. But we have some obvious industries that would make us a logical choice, for example: marine, advanced manufacturing, food processing, aerospace, suppliers for aerospace manufactures.

Lisa: You mention food processing, what other challenges or opportunities do you see within the agricultural community?

John: Well I guess there is a whole range there, agriculture is in some ways are what we are known for.

Even if it is not the biggest part of our economy it is a very significant one and it is part of our identity and our heritage. So when there are issues that farmers face that is something that is important for all of us. When I have asked leadership in the agricultural community what kind of things they would look for, they have mentioned food processing as something that would be helpful to their prosperity.

Lisa: What about branding, do you think there is a role for EDASC to help with a branding piece?

John: That was the next thing that I was going to mention. We have been involved with the Innovation Partnership Zone (IPZ). EDASC leads that along with the Port and many

others and that is all about branding Skagit Valley products as high quality and worth the price. It will be branded a little more eloquently than that, but that is the gist of it. These are products that you want to go to the market and look for because they are that good and you are not going to look for the price tag because they are that good.

That is kind of how I shop. For example if I really want that orange pepper or those raspberries I am probably going to buy it. If I want some particular kind of potato or berries or ice cream made with those berries and it says Skagit Valley I am going to know that it is good quality.

Lisa: I agree, I shop like that too.

So will EDASC participate in the Ag summit that is coming up in March?

John: We are a platinum sponsor of the Ag Summit, and I have been involved in the planning process as well. As a supporting player we are supporting the Washington State University extension and others that are involved because we wanted to be clear that this is important to our overall economy and we want to be helpful wherever we can.

Lisa: I think it is important. EDASC

has such a known influence in what happens in Skagit County. With those people that all come together that you were talking about earlier, if we all focus our attentions on solving problems it is amazing how those get solved.

John: I agree. I have found a very impressive level of collaboration here.

People talked about silos and how you have to look out for all these silos but compared to places I have been I find it much more collegial, I think because of the size. Not only does everybody know each other and like each other, we also realize we are all in this together and that we are all we have. It’s not a city of infinite millions where there is always somebody new out there.

EDASC Member Services Guide / 2016 7

Lisa: Right. If you were going to

paint a picture of success for yourself personally and for EDASC as an organization what would that look like?

John: I guess it is different in stages.

I see lots of things that I want to do and I want to do them all now, now, now and it’s just not possible. You have to do things in order and in steps and stages. I think the first order of business for me, two fold. First is to get the strategic plan completed, which we are well on our way to doing. Second is to get EDASC running efficiently as a cutting edge professional Economic Development Organization doing the work we’re meant to do -- then I will feel like my first year or two will have been successful.

Lisa: In that strategic plan, I know that your board recently had a retreat, a board retreat. Was that productive? Talk about your board a little bit and working forward with them.

John: Yes, that was wonderful.

From the first time I met people on the board I was so impressed and so drawn to the organization because there is such a desire to elevate EDASC to higher levels of professionalism and economic development practice, and as the community convener for a lot of different purposes. Ultimately bringing people together to accomplish different goals. The board retreat was something I had suggested and the board was very excited to do. I was flattered because they said please don’t hire an outside facilitator we want you to do it, since you already understand EDASC. We had a great time and we talked about all kinds of internal matters that you would know about, finances and organizational, but also relationships between a board of directors and an executive director and where do we want to go and how do we get there.

Lisa: What are the next steps out of that board retreat? You were talking about a strategic plan is that…

John: Right, so the strategic plan

is ongoing and we have a steering committee that is separate from the board of directors, drawn from every sector of the community, and all over the county. The steering committee ran the town hall and is working on framing the economic development strategic plan. From that we will know what EDASC has to do to carry that plan out. For the board we are working on more internal things like getting finances straightened out, software, staffing, which to me is really job number one internally.

Lisa: To upgrade the infrastructure of the organization?

John: Yes, exactly. The human infrastructure, the technology, ultimately I would hope the real estate and before we didn’t have anybody tasked with the basic economic development jobs of recruitment, retention and expansion. We also didn’t have anyone doing the kind of research that we need. One of the things I have heard already in the strategic planning process is that the community wants EDASC to be a repository and resource for data that is useful for the community in addition to being useful for us for prospects that are considering coming here. That’s one thing that I want us to do and we need someone to be able to work on marketing and communications. Those are things that I have done in my career but you can’t have the executive director doing all of that.

Lisa: No, everyone needs to be at

their best and highest value to get that efficient kind of organization that you are talking about.

John: That’s right. So we are in the process of looking to hire three people which is a net gain of one. And we have had a great response already from very experienced, highly qualified individuals.

Lisa: It is very exciting with what is

happening with EDASC under your

8 EDASC Member Services Guide / 2016

leadership and I am excited for the organization.

John: Thank you! I’m excited for the future too. I would like to ask you a question or two if I may?

Lisa: Yes, please.

John: Given your experience with

EDASC, as President twice, and being on the board a long time, what do you see as the most important things EDASC should be doing going forward?

Lisa: I like the direction that you are talking about, recruiting other businesses into this county by working with the existing businesses. That was an experience that our company had when I was working at Janicki Industries. We saw how coordinated the efforts were in the state of Utah.

The types of businesses had been pre-identified, there were dossiers on certain businesses they were trying to recruit so by the time I called asking to look at real estate they already had a folder on us based on input from existing manufacturers in the state.

EDASC had never asked me who I need, what suppliers are important, what customers are important. So I think that as economic development people we need to know that all companies do have choices and where it seems like it may be less likely to go south of the border there are always going to be choices whether it’s this county, another county, another state.

We have to be able to communicate concisely and efficiently what it is that Skagit County has to offer that is so different from everywhere else. One of the things that you said that is exciting to me is this concept of a data driven decision making, so much of it aligns with other work that is being done in the county. I think Skagit County has the advantage of being a really beautiful place to live. The geography between the metropolitan areas, access to Canada, access into King County, there is a high quality of life.

We just need to do a better job as a county selling ourselves, and making

those quality of life pieces more visible. Quality of education is always important to an employee and so it is important to a business, so we need to make that more visible. When it comes right around to it, housing, is there some place for these employees to live? When manufacturers are coming in or expanding, their employees should not have to commute from out of county to work in our county. So, we need housing here, in the right places, because that’s that pressure that it is always going to be on the Ag land and the forests, when I say Ag that always includes forest land. And trying to balance the needs of people with the long term perspective of protecting what is so beautiful about Skagit County.

John: That sounds just right. And

there are things that I concluded too, some from talking to you and to others, I have come to realize in doing economic development for a while that it used to be much narrower than it is now. It was narrower in the sense that it was about bringing companies in or helping companies expand but that’s all we do. We recognize that workforce is an issue, housing is an issue, health care and community health is an issue and education is an issue but that’s not our job. Inequality in the economy and in a community is bad but it is not our job. I have come to realize that all those things are, in fact, our job and if it’s not primarily our job, it’s our job to work with the people whose primary job it is to make progress there because there aren’t really silos in the real world. If we have a subpar housing stock or subpar transportation system or subpar schools then it affects everybody and of course it affects economic development.

Lisa: Or if we can’t deal with our homeless situation it does not reflect well on the community either.

John: Right. And the flip side of that

is that we have a large part of our community that’s not being able to play a meaningful role in our economy Skagit.org

and our workforce and that’s a waste in many ways.

Lisa: Are we talking immigration

now…

John: Well I guess we could be. I was

actually just thinking of maybe the 30% of our population that doesn’t achieve in school and isn’t able to be a meaningful part of the workforce.

Some of them are immigrant populations and some not but that’s an issue too.

Lisa: There are pockets of better data than that too where like for the last two years the Sedro Wooley High School class has about a 91% and 94% graduation rate. So the story of what is happening out there when you go broad sometimes you lose some of that opportunity to tell a better story. The sad part is that is someone is doing 90% then to get up to an average 70% than somebody’s not doing well at all.

John: I was “principal for the day”

at Mount Vernon High School and I was so impressed. There have been criticisms both internal and external of our school systems and I was completely impressed with the work they are doing not only in getting people college ready but getting them career ready and workforce ready. I know in Sedro-Woolley, EDASC is one of the partners in their STEM project, which although not a main job of economic development, is critically important to us because that’s what will keep the workforce prepared.

If we don’t have the appropriately skilled workforce we won’t get the new companies or keep the companies we have. There are fantastic things going on in Sedro-Woolley Schools and all over our county that you know I would have been proud to send my sons there.

Lisa: Something that is smart to look at is the technical part of this, in fact a communication person in today’s world is a quasi-technical geek person just

to get the communications out that need to be there to make a website searchable, to push data up to a search engine.

John: That is one of my main things

when I first got here. The first week I went and met with the Skagit County GIS department. I said I need to find these people and go talk to them and see what they know and what they do. This is so important to us.

Our website needs to be that source of information so people across the country and in other countries can look at our website and find a site, find out what the schools are like, and it’s a marketing website. We can put our best foot forward on there and make the connection.

Lisa: Is the idea to make it mobile

friendly?

John: Yes, ultimately.

Lisa:

Skagit County is lagging in that.

John: We need to work on our social media presence. While maybe not the most important thing in a marketing program, it is still important to generate interest, push programs, information and ideas out there.

So our Facebook, Linked-in, Twitter accounts you know I have been doing them but along with eight thousand other things.

Lisa: My thirtysomething year old children, that’s how they get their information. I still read a newspaper and I love that minute in the morning to get to do that but they don’t touch newspapers, you know that next generation. Is the NextExec group still running?

John: Yes. I enlisted a speaker for them for the next meeting, a fantastic women in Seattle who is a life coach and career coach. She is just phenomenal. So she is going to speak to them, and they will tour BBC Biochemical. We also have NEXT Tech that is working to get some accelerator space, and I think those are good

EDASC Member Services Guide / 2016 9

programs for EDASC to take on.

Lisa: Yep. It is really the future of younger executives.

John: To show that this is a cool and

fun place to live. To get that generation to want to be here, either stay here or come here and have the jobs for them.

Lisa: Yeah, you’re right. I think that is important. Is there a way to weave that all into the existing Rotaries, there are just so many Rotary Clubs. Is there a way to engage the Rotarians?

John: One of the new things I want to do is give a broader purpose to the EDASC Foundation that runs Leadership Skagit. Right now that’s really their only job is to run Leadership Skagit. The board has expressed to me that they would be very interested in contributing more and I think those are areas that would be great for the foundation to work on. Bringing up the next generation of leadership of execs, IT people, high tech workers and connecting them with the community because Leadership Skagit is very linked in to the community. So they may be the avenue for that.

Lisa: That is a very good idea. How exciting.

John: I am very excited. I come here

every day and you know it’s a mixed feeling of being a little bit overwhelmed but challenged and excited. Those two things are the ones that win out.

Lisa: Were there any big surprises for you? Like an A-ha moment where you were like oh my, for the good or for the bad?

John: I guess there have been both.

Good is that every time I turn around I find someone, present company included, who is phenomenal, who has an amazing background, who has done incredible things, focused on doing the right things for the community, and I am tripping over people like that all the time. You

know you’re there in downtown Mount Vernon or Anacortes, or Sedro-Woolley and you’re talking to someone and you say wait, you did what? These people have amazing careers and accomplishments and this is really where they want to be. They want to make sure their community advances.

Some of the people who are applying for positions here at EDASC are folks who are interested in coming back to where they grew up and contributing the community and they have been out there doing great things. So that’s been a wonderful surprise and gift really and it makes it so much fun. I guess the only other surprise is that I did not realize the extent to which I would need to be modernizing things around the office, practices, processes, approaches, technology, and those sorts of things. So it’s like remodeling a house, it’s a great house it just needs to be updated.

am going to change is make the events less about fundraising and less labor intensive, and make them more about what it is we do and what our mission is. So the Economic Forecast Dinner, Schmooze Fair, speakers, educational events, those sorts of things are important to our organization and our community and if we don’t do them (in this context) nobody else will.

Conversely there are things that we’ve been doing that other people do or could do so we are going to partner with the College to teach classes that EDASC has been doing and we are working with other organizations to provide services to inventors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and to the Ag community and start-ups, spreading the labor around so that there is not duplication but there is coordination.

None of us has unlimited budgets and we all have to do our share and make sure all the pieces fit together.

Lisa:

Lisa: Like with Northwest

As an organization it kind of hit corporate maturity and it hit a plateau.

John: I am not ashamed to borrow, there are economic development organizations that are comparable to ours in communities comparable to ours who have found really great ways to get things done. I have the luxury of being able to pick through those and see what would work for us and what would be helpful to us. So we do not have to necessarily go around reinventing the wheel but we have to go out there, try it on and see what fits. The other thing is I think I had not appreciated the extent to which EDASC was focused internally on Skagit County. I want to change that, not completely, but open us up to the rest of the world and show everybody what we have and how we could be a good location for the kind of companies we would like to attract and the kind of workers we would like to attract. I definitely want to keep the great things that EDASC has been doing. People really appreciate that EDASC gets the community together a few times a year to do something fun. The only thing I

Innovation, with Diane’s leadership, that organization has really gotten some legs so I thing that is a great partnership there.

John: And she and Patsy Martin from the Port of Skagit and I met a couple weeks ago about just how to do that.

That’s getting ready to be launched in the near future. Similarly, NABC works with farmers to help them be more profitable and we get inquiries about that and we know where to send folks who have that need and we send inventors, tech entrepreneurs and other folks to NWIRC. I want us to work very closely with the Ports, with all the cities and towns and not only do economic development on their behalf but also promote what each of them individually would like to accomplish for their city or for the port. We also need to work on our capacity and community building.

Lisa: What’s the relationship between EDASC and the Chambers?

John: That’s a great question. I think my perception when I came into this

position was that EDASC had been functioning really a lot more like a chamber and I say that because we were focused mainly on or within the borders of Skagit County and on the existing businesses there. Businesses invested at a pretty nominal level financially and the main docket was social events. To me we have great chambers in this county that do terrific things as they should be, which should free us up as EDASC to do the economic development jobs of working on recruitment, retention and expansion. Chamber functions are really different -- they are a true membership organization and they tend to the needs of their member businesses and promote them, networking, helping them to be more profitable, not through business advising so much as networking. So I think we need to let the chambers be the chambers and continue doing the great job that they do and we need to differentiate and be an economic development organization.

Lisa: The reason I ask is I had heard some people say, we are in competition with EDASC. Well it shouldn’t be in competition, although when I was at the town hall meeting I told the story and said that we would do a lot better if we all would work together. So that is why I asked because there is a different functionality but in the world all things that have to be handled to have a successful business community you need all the different pieces.

But that is why the Town Hall was so exciting was to see everyone come together and to see all the great ideas that came about.

John: And I have seen a lot of excitement that people perceive that EDASC is going to do what they want EDASC to do. That frees up the ports for example to do the things that they need to do because they can count on us to do economic development.

Lisa: I have to tell you, the one thing Skagit.org

that, I remember sitting in your office for the first time, I don’t often regret things, and sometimes I regret…I am a little bit too much of a straight shooter. I made a comment to you that I regretted to you the moment it came out of my mouth. That was about where, why Skagit County you have such a breadth of experience working with the level of people that you have been with. I was still like you are too good to be true and I was still trying to figure that out. I said we are going to be lucky to have you for a year or two so I want to get done everything we can while you’re here.

I just want to tell you that has left me sleepless at night.

meeting, what we didn’t tell John Sternlicht is that his office could become a swimming pool. I don’t recall anyone mentioning that. [Laughter]

Lisa:

What I did notice is that you voted to approve the next phase in the flood wall.

John: Yes, I said I was not going to

recuse myself from this even though I have some self-interest. Thank you so much, Lisa – you have a great career ahead in journalism!

John: First of all, with me you never have to apologize for being a straight shooter, I really appreciate that and second of all I was flattered when you said it. Really what brought me here and keeps me here is the community and the feeling and the spirit of the community. We moved into old town Anacortes and we are busy getting entrenched in the county.

Lisa: Anacortes is a wonderful place.

John: It is a great place and we already feel so welcome. The satisfaction I get, you know it’s like polishing silver, it might be tough when you are doing it but it will look amazing when you are done. And taking an organization like EDASC that represents a county with so many wonderful gifts and possibilities and potential. And setting it out for all to see…

Lisa: Like polishing the silver.

John: …in a more productive, efficient

and professional kind of presentation, is giving me a great sense of accomplishment and joy.

Lisa: Well I am glad you are still excited about it because had we told you everything before you took the job, we thought you might not have taken the job. [Laughter] John: Like you said in the council EDASC Member Services Guide / 2016 11

John brings senior executive expertise in law, economic development, community relations, public policy, finance, and government relations with a domestic and international focus (he speaks French, German and Spanish). John has over 20 years high-level experience negotiating and executing multi-billion dollar business locations and expansions involving public and private sector financing, higher education, infrastructure including all modes of transportation and legislative initiatives.

Most recently, John served as Economic Development Policy Advisor to King County Executive Dow Constantine, where he worked to bring a regional focus to economic development. While Senior Director of Strategic Projects for a leading nonprofit research institute, John conceived and executed greenfield bioscience projects in Virginia and Michigan involving a total of nearly $50 million in state, local and private financing. John’s careful and strategic oversight ensured that the funding would be sufficient to launch these new ventures. Previously, after ten years in private and public law practice in North Carolina and Virginia, John served eleven years as General Counsel and Legislative Director of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), acted as Secretary to the VEDP Board of Directors, and also created a statewide program of certification and assistance for rural communities and regions to improve their business attraction and expansion practice.

regulatory climate. As Deputy Secretary, Sternlicht orchestrated the development and execution of the statewide economic development strategic plan, oversaw all 15 agency budgets totaling more than $800 million, and directed all agency legislative and regulatory programs.

While serving in these positions, Sternlicht provided his expertise in a broad base of activities including human resources, open records, board relations, public finance, procurement, and community relations, and advised most of the 140 cities and counties in Virginia on the best structure for their economic development programs. John was likely the first in the US to institute the process of requiring legal protections for state and local governments providing incentives to companies, and designed many of the incentive programs as well, directed at particular regional needs or industry sectors such as manufacturing (everything from semiconductor chips to corn chips), logistics/distribution, financial services, headquarters, biosciences and IT. John, who currently serves on the Board of Directors of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), speaks and writes nationally and abroad on various topics in economic development, including the design, protection and assessment of incentives, economic development practices in the US, the process of negotiation, building public consensus, strategic planning, commercialization and innovation, and others. Originally from Barrington, Rhode Island and raised primarily in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Sternlicht earned his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, and studied journalism and communications at the Université de Fribourg in Switzerland on a Rotary International Graduate Fellowship before earning his Juris Doctor at the University of North Carolina School of Law in Chapel Hill. He earned his certification in economic development from the International Economic Development Council in 2001.

John married James Finley in 2010, and together they have three adult sons who make them very proud. John and James live in Old Town Anacortes and are enjoying getting to know the wonderful people and places of Skagit County.

Green Building The trend toward sustainable Design / Green Building is growing. Axthelm Construction uses the principles of Green Building: increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources such as energy, water, and materials while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment. This is accomplished through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal; the complete building life cycle.

Modern Steel Structures Axthelm Construction’s preengineered steel building division, Modern Steel Structures, is well known for its high quality steel structures.

A steel building is a metal structure that uses steel for the exterior cladding and internal support, designed to fit individual needs. Today these buildings are used for a variety of purposes including storage, office, and living space. A steel building can save customers up to 30 percent in building costs over a traditional structure.

Finishing Touches Axthelm Construction offers comprehensive, integrated Design / Build package designs to get you from start to finish: interior and exterior building design, final décor, and landscaping.

Take, for example, our experience with a local berry farmer.

“The owner of this farm knew he wanted a long range plan to transition the farm to his kids. We told him that having a plan didn’t mean he was leaving his farm today, but that it would make all the difference if we started that plan early,” says Marv Tjoelker, Partner and Chairman of the Board.

“Because we took the time to understand his personal goals, the goals of the farm and the family dynamics, he’s now able to start checking off some items on his bucket list with peace of mind. Our plan will allow him to achieve what only 3% of family owned businesses can pull off — transition into the fourth

generation.”

YOUR PARTNER FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS SOLUTIONS THE REED ADVANTAGE (TRA) was established by Lou Ann Reed in 2006 to provide high quality customized computer training and consulting services that are based on each client’s unique requirements. Says Lou Ann, “Our continuing goal is to deliver service that meets or exceeds the high standards expected by today’s employers”. They seem to be achieving their goal with many businesses returning on a recurring basis.

The Reed Advantage is a Washington State Licensed private secondary educational institution The Reed Advantage business model allows for adaption to meet the particular needs of a wide variety of local industries such as construction, manufacturing, financial, agriculture, refinery, and service firms.

EXPERIENCED TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANTS The TRA team members are all local residents who have the education and background to allow for customized service in a wide variety of subjects such as: Constraints Management (TOC) SAP Lean Manufacturing Six Sigma Quality Management Enterprise Resource Management Project Management QuickBooks Primavera and MS Project Scheduling ➤ Cloud Computing ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤

Skagit.org

The staff has a broad portfolio of experience and expertise including: ➤ Identification of process constraints ➤ Refinement of processes ➤ Development and delivery of training materials ➤ Database application development and maintenance ➤ Systems upgrades Consulting services provided are of the highest caliber. “We listen to our clients concerns and frustrations,” Lou Ann states. “We ask questions; observe current practices and offer process improvement options while respecting the client’s preferences and decisions. Our job is to empower success.”

Each of the top three TRA consultants has over 15 years managing, consulting and technology training experience.

The staff is currently involved in: ➤ SharePoint site design, administration, and training ➤ Access database design and maintenance ➤ Excel spreadsheet development with macro linked hot buttons that assist swifter navigation, the creation of bid sheets, work orders, and customer proposals ➤ Word and Visio-development of user instruction materials ➤ SAP capital project controls and Primavera scheduling ➤ QuickBooks set-up, customization, and training; and more

ROI RICH TRAINING The Reed Advantage’s unique training has quickly become a strong secondary aspect of the company. In February of 2015, the Reed Advantage was licensed as a private secondary educational institution by Washington State. This license supports TRA’s vocational skills training and certification of proficiency levels.

It also opens the door for possible future growth in additional labor skills specific education. Vocational training at TRA has allowed many individuals to qualify for advancement or re-enter the workforce with new skills and confidence.

Too often trainers attempt to compress several hours of learning into a very brief period, resulting in less than stellar return on investment. The TRA training style is to proceed at a more carefully measured pace that allows for better absorption, personalization, and utilization.

TRA training is tailored to each specific situation and the sessions typically occur in client training rooms or office spaces. When possible, actual or sample data used by employees on the job is chosen for a real-time and relevant classroom experience. All of

EDASC Member Services Guide / 2016 43

these elements empower employees to apply their new skills immediately upon return to work; providing an immediate return on investment.

Employers are seeing the advantage of verifying the competencies of each of their top two or three candidates before hiring. Firms appreciate that TRA provides local, monitored testing and well-documented assessments for hard and soft skills.

Studies show…

Untrained employees take up to six times longer than trained ones to perform the same tasks.

When asked what drives her, Lou Ann says, “Our God given purpose is to make a positive difference in people’s lives. The work we are doing does that and is very gratifying. We are a small but important part in the success of each person we work with, allowing both the employees and executives to expend their time on other aspects of their business.

That is a great feeling. Whether consulting for a large company or private training for a senior citizen, it is so rewarding to see community members prosper.”

LOU ANN’S BACKGROUND Born and raised with seven siblings on a dairy farm in upstate New York, Lou Ann started her career in retail; rising to the position of General Manager of a national department store. She then worked in the largest hardwood lumber company east of the Mississippi as the Sales Department Office Manager and Executive Assistant to the Vice President of the

company. Her Project Management experience was gained while working for the international engineeringconstruction firms, Fluor Daniel and Morrison-Knutson.

Lou Ann’s career has taken her all over the country in roles ranging from document and project controls on manufacturing plant expansions, safety and project controls on a hotel building project, to project scheduler and stewardship contract assistant on a government remediation project.

In each position she trained staff in Excel, Primavera scheduling, Word and work processes.

Lou Ann and husband Greg have been married for 16 years. They met while living in the Mid-West, which resulted in both sets of families living on opposite sides of the country - with most of Greg’s family in Washington and most of Lou Ann’s in New York. The couple found it difficult being far away from family.

They moved to Skagit County in 2003 when he accepted a position as the Superintendent/CEO for United General Hospital. The move to Skagit County was welcomed as it put them closer to his family in Eastern Washington and allowed for easier, more frequent trips to New York. The Skagit farming community has also been a nice reminder of home for Lou Ann. After moving to Skagit County, she provided project control duties during a shutdown at Shell in 2004 and later for Anvil Engineering in Bellingham. Wanting to be more closely connected to the Skagit community, she was blessed in 2006 when a Skagit based business offered her a job as a project controls contractor in their manufacturing company. “They were such a good company to work with; I really respected their ethics and treatment of their people…I am very thankful for their continued use

of TRA services”, she shared.

This contracting job offer led her to fulfill a lifetime ambition of opening The Reed Advantage. Not wanting to keep all her eggs in one basket, Lou Ann started marketing her training and problem solving skills to broaden the business’s client base.

Business has steadily increased since 2006, necessitating the addition of team members with the same dedication to quality service, work ethic, and moral values. She has pulled together an impressive team.

Lou Ann is “amazed at the quality and capabilities of the talented people who sought me out for employment opportunities.”

Greg and Lou Ann are very connected to the Skagit community and “… feel so blessed to be here”. They support a wide variety of civic organizations and charity events in the county. Lou Ann is a 2009 graduate of Leadership Skagit, past Treasurer on the SIHRMA 2014-2015 board, and volunteered for the Sedro-Woolley and Burlington Chambers, United General Hospital, United Way, SICBA, and Family Promise, among others.

Savvy. It’s our obsession.

It’s part of our DNA. Using knowledge and expertise, our mission is to bring long term success to our clients. It’s who we are down to the core.

And that’s why we are extremely proud of our recent designation as an “SBA Preferred Lender (PLP)” by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the agency’s highest lender recognition.

Gaining preferred lender status from the SBA gives SaviBank quicker turnaround time for its business loan applications. As a PLP lender, SaviBank has authority to approve SBA guaranteed loans

without prior SBA review, enabling us to provide faster loan approval for our business customers.

The SBA Preferred Lenders Program (PLP) is part of the agency’s efforts to streamline procedures necessary to provide financial assistance to the small business sector.

Under this program, SBA delegates full credit approval, and most servicing and liquidation authority, to select lenders with a proven track record of SBA participation.

“We are focused on being advocates and champions for our clients,” SaviBank CEO Mike Cann said.

“Earning this designation helps deliver on this mission of bringing long-term success to all of our clients.”

Banks are considered for PLP status only after demonstrating a proficiency in processing and servicing SBAguaranteed loans.

We are now a SBA Preferred Lender (That’s fancy speak for quicker turnaround times on business loan applications) As a preferred lender we now have the authority to approve SBA guaranteed loans without prior SBA review, enabling us to provide faster loan approval for our business clients.

And because we’re a locally-based bank, we take a personal interest in bringing long-term success to all of our clients and seeing our community thrive. Now just a little bit quicker.

Now that’s Savi.
