CEO brings ‘more modern’ buzz to regional business group BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

“I

guess I’m pretty old for this position — but I’m still having a

good time.” So says Michael E. “Mickey” Herbert, the 73-year-old president and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council (BRBC). A longtime health care industry entrepreneur, the former president and CEO of ConnectiCare and a former owner of the Bridgeport Bluefish minor league baseball club, Herbert took the reins at the regional business group in November 2016, His “good time” there is due at least in part to the BRBC’s agreeing to let him shake things up at the once-staid 145-year-old organization. “I spent a lot of 2017 trying to transform the BRBC into a more modern business association that people can be excited about,” he said. Most of those moves were internal and sound fairly mundane: upgrading its audiovisual capabilities, restructuring its human resources processes, and revising its marketing » CEO

Back to the drawing board LENNAR REDESIGNS ONE, TAKES ON SECOND PROJECT IN WHITE PLAINS

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

ith a newly launched office in Stamford, Lennar Multifamily Communities plans to focus more of its attention on the New York City metropolitan region. That will include two large-scale developments in downtown White Plains already approved by the city, one by Lennar that has been delayed for two years and another that just came under the company’s supervision. Greg Belew, Lennar Multifamily Communities’ city president for the New York tristate region, recently told the Business Journal that the company is reworking plans for its major redevelopment of the former Westchester Pavilion mall site. A short distance from that razed lot

on South Broadway, the Californiabased company has also taken over an already approved mixeduse development project at the corner of Mamaroneck Avenue and East Post Road. With the two projects, Lennar is in a position to construct more than 1,000 apartments in White Plains over the next few years. Belew, speaking from the company’s office at 1 Landmark Square in Stamford, framed the two projects as part of an enhanced commitment to

the region from the company. “We’ve shifted our center of gravity up to here and we’re getting much more active here,” Belew said. The company had previously managed projects in the region from its Herndon, Virginia, office in the Washington D.C., suburbs. Lennar Multifamily is an arm of the publicly traded Lennar Corp.

In Irvington, safe mirrors for Beyoncé, Lady Gaga to dance by BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

wners Rick Powers and Benito Repollet have operated their company, LiteMirror, out of a warehouse across from the Irvington train station for a decade. As the name suggests, the company manufactures reflective mirrors. However, unlike traditional mirrors, you won’t be in for seven years of bad luck if you happen to drop one of its products. LiteMirror’s creations are lightweight, glassless mirrors made from a highly reflective optical film. At the company’s facility at 2 S. Astor St., the flexible film is stretched around an aluminum frame, then sealed using heat to remove any wrinkles or dimples. The resulting mirror offers a bright, clear reflection without

some of the downsides of glass. “You can only do so much with glass mirrors,” said Donna Powers, an employee of the company and wife of its co-owner. “You can’t put them on wheels, you can’t put them on ceilings, so these mirrors are creating a whole new application. You can do anything with them and they’re clearer and brighter than plate glass.” These mirrors, which can be custom made to any shape or size, are also a safer alternative to traditional mirrors because they will not shatter or break into shards when impacted. “You can put these anywhere you can think of putting a mirror that you couldn’t before because you were afraid it might break,” Donna said. They are also much lighter than their glass counterparts. A 4-by-6foot glassless mirror panel weighs roughly 10 pounds, while a glass

mirror of the same size weighs around 72 pounds. “To mount one of these on the wall takes four little screws,” Rick Powers said. “There’s no heavy lifting.” Costing about $24 per square foot, the glassless mirror can be an attractive alternative for gyms, dance studios, community centers, sports training facilities and theaters. Though the film surface is durable, it can be damaged. An object striking the film could leave a dimple or wrinkle in the reflective fabric, though those can be remedied with the application of a head gun or blow dryer. The film could be slit by fingernails or another sharp object. “If someone punctures it, you can get it resurfaced,” Rick said. “They can last forever, indefinitely.” The Irvington mirrors have also been used in warehouses with heavy

machinery to prevent injuries. “Injuries happen because you can’t see where you’re going, so if you had these mirrors hanging on the ceilings, workers (operating heavy machinery) could look up and be able to see better,” Donna Powers said. Golf professionals and instructors also use the mirrors, which can be mounted on wheels. “They roll them out to train people how to do their golf swing,” Rick said. “If the ball hits it, it’s just going to bounce off.” The mirrors are also commonly placed around the interior of equestrian centers. “If it was glass, if it fell, horses could get injured,” Donna said. “With these mirrors, no one is going to get hurt.” They can also be used in batting cages, classrooms, physical or speech therapy offices or in a client’s home. “Beyoncé bought a whole bunch of these mirrors when she was training for her tour,” Donna said. “Lady Gaga bought them for her dancers when she was doing the Super Bowl last year.” “We also did mirrors for Shakira,” Rick added. At LiteMirror, the company is building on a legacy started by Eugene Martinez, who first patented

the glassless mirror in the 1970s. His company, Hudson Photographic, constructed the reflective surfaces as an alternative to the fragile, heavy mirrors used in the production of large screen projection televisions. “It’s a big difference for shipping, for handling, for moving,” Repollet said. Both Powers and Repollet worked for Martinez on South Astor Street for years, Repollet in quality control and Powers on the assembly side of the operation as a plant manager. When Martinez died in 2007 and the business ultimately closed, the two friends said they were left wondering what their next career move should be. “Benito and I looked at each other and said, ‘Do you want to open up a pizzeria?’” Powers recalled. “Or a cookie shop,” Repollet interjected. For Repollet, working at the plant was the only career he’d ever known. It was the first job he found when he arrived in the U.S. as a 24-year-old from Puerto Rico in 1987. With that background, the two decided to invest their own money to open a business in 2008 in the same building that formerly housed their predecessor Eugene Martinez’s company. “Somebody said to us, ‘Why don’t you just do what you know?’” Powers said. “Because including us, there are only two manufacturers of this mirror in the U.S., so why not?” According to patent records and LiteMirror’s owners, Martinez’s original patent for the glassless mirror has expired. The other manufacturer of the product is the similarly named MirrorLite in Peekskill. That company was also started by a former longtime employee of Hudson Photographic more than a decade ago. Following the decline in sales of projection televisions, LiteMirror began searching for new uses for its product. “We started selling to dance studios, home gyms,” Donna said. “We tried looking for another application for the mirrors.” That search continues today. “I think there is such a huge market here in the U.S. that’s so untapped, it’s just a matter of getting the word out,” Donna said. To help with that, she has worked in sales and marketing for her husband’s company since its inception. Last year, she decided to join the business full time. “It’s just the question of how you introduce a product that’s been in the market for years,” she said. “But it now has a whole new application.”

Residents blast Mount Vernon development subsidies again BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

or the third time, the public has spoken out against granting tax breaks to a developer who wants to build subsidized housing in Mount Vernon. MacQuesten Takeover Partners has asked the Mount Vernon Industrial Development Agency for help with a $71.1 million mixed-use development next to a MetroNorth train station. The public’s objections are not necessarily aimed specifically at project developer MacQuesten Development of Pelham, so much as at IDA policies and practices. The fact that a third public hearing was held on Feb. 20 was a happenstance due to procedural oversights and omissions related to hearings held in 2016 and last year. In short, a group of residents and an attorney for the Mount Vernon school district said that the IDA is too generous to residential developers, too insensitive about the residents’ tax burden and too secretive about its work. MacQuesten plans to build 189 apartments and 4,000 square feet of groundfloor retail space at 22 S. West St. The building would include 159 subsidized apartments and 30 market-rate units. The site is a block away from The Modern, an 81-unit workforce housing building that MacQuesten opened last year. The company has also bought the dilapidated Mount Vernon West train station, next door to the project site, for development. MacQuesten has asked the IDA for an exemption from sales and use taxes worth an estimated $1.6 million. But the heart of the dispute, from the objectors’ point of view, is a proposed deal to abate property taxes for 30 years. The developer would make payments in lieu of taxes based on $812 for each subsidized unit, $900 for

market-rate units and $1,000 for the retail space in the first year of occupancy. The rates would increase by 2.5 to 3 percent a year. That works out to $157,108 in year one and culminates at $363,098 in year 30, for a total of more than $7.3 million. Property taxes on the vacant site are $40,000 a year, according to MacQuesten’s 2016 IDA application. “You are really giving away the store here,” said Thomas Scapoli, an attorney who represents the school district. “That’s an incredible amount of tax relief.” By his reckoning, the finished project should be taxed at more than $1 million a year. “But the IDA sees fit to give away $1 million in taxpayer dollars a year,” he said. “That is an extraordinary amount.” Scapoli said the PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) terms are even more generous than the agency’s financial assistance policy, which calls for payments ranging from $860 to $1,000 per subsidized apartment. The numbers matter, the school district claims, because the schools get a piece of the pie and the pie is too small to support the additional students who will move into new apartment buildings. The IDA has rejected

repeated requests to include the schools in PILOT discussions, Scapoli said. The district has sued the IDA, alleging misuse of tax abatements and excessive deals in favor of developers. MacQuesten said its new project will create 300 to 350 construction jobs and 50 jobs after it opens. Jane Curtis, a member of an informal group of residents who monitor Mount Vernon government, said that residential projects generate too few jobs, and she criticized the IDA for not sharing cost-benefit analyses of proposed projects. “Our feeling is that there is no community benefit that compensates for the tax loss from a PILOT.” “What about traffic?" asked Fiorella Kelley, another government monitor. “What about density? What about quality of life?" The streets and sewers need to be fixed, she said. “They walk away with the money and leave the problems to us.” MacQuesten's project manager, Joseph Apicella, attended the hearing but did not speak. The IDA board will “take their feedback into account,” said Sean McIntyre, deputy director, “prior to taking further action.”

REAL ESTATE

CONSULTANT FOR THE POINTE SUES DEVELOPER

A consultant on an ambitious urban renewal project in Mount Vernon claims that the developer fired the firm to save money. Ferrandino & Associates Inc. of Elmsford sued MVP Realty Associates of East Harlem on Feb. 14 in Westchester Supreme Court in White Plains. “MVP terminated the contract to save money on The Pointe redevelopment,” Ferrandino & Associates said in the complaint, and the developer has hired another firm “for a sum significantly less than MVP is obligated to pay F&A.” “The only thing I can say,” said Daniel Amicucci, MVP Realty's managing member, “it’s totally untrue.” Ferrandino & Associates says it was hired in 2012 to work on plans for The Pointe, an affordable housing project in a blighted neighborhood at South Fourth Avenue and East Third Street. MVP Realty expects to spend $138 million on four buildings, 350 apartments, 46,000 square feet of retail space and offices, 585 parking spaces and a public garden. MVP Realty contracted with Ferrandino & Associates again in 2015 to work on environmental review documents for zoning and site plan approvals. Ferrandino & Associates said it completed several tasks and received no complaints about its work. By last September, the environmental review had been going on for more than two years, “through no fault of F&A,” the complaint states. MVP Realty then terminated the contract with several tasks yet to be done. The consultant said that The Pointe is MVP’s first joint venture, large-scale urban development project. As a result of the developer’s “inexperience,” the complaint states, MVP did not anticipate the time and expense of the review process. MVP Realty is a joint venture of Design Builders Group of White Plains and Urban Builders Collaborative, an affiliate of Lettire Construction Corp. of East Harlem. Vince Ferrandino is president of Ferrandino & Associates. Ferrandino & Associates says it complied with the terms of the contract, but was given no reason for the termination.

Ferrandino & Associates accuses MVP of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. It is demanding $38,500 for work it would have done under the contract and for work it did but for which it allegedly was not paid.

FIVE GUYS TO OPEN EATERY IN MOUNT KISCO

A Five Guys restaurant will open this year at Mount Kisco Square Shopping Center, the fifth location in the county for the fast-growing burger chain. Five Guys, known for its handcrafted hamburgers and fries, will join tenants such as Petco, Caremount Medical Urgent Care and FedEx at the 360 N. Bedford Road plaza. A spring opening is anticipated at the location. Five Guys opened its first location in Washington, D.C., in 1986 and now operates more than 1,500 locations worldwide. In Westchester, Five Guys has locations in White Plains, Mohegan Lake, Pelham Manor and Yonkers. The deal to bring the chain to Mount Kisco was announced Feb. 7 by Admiral Real Estate and The Dagar Group Ltd., which represented the shopping center in the deal.

ALBERTSONS AND RITE AID TO MERGE

Albertsons Cos., the second-largest supermarket chain in North America, signed a merger agreement with drugstore chain Rite Aid Corp. The combined company is expected to earn revenues of $83 billion in 2018. “This powerful combination enables us to become a truly differentiated leader in delivering value, choice and flexibility to meet customers’ evolving food, health and wellness needs,” said Rite Aid chairman and CEO John Standley. “The combined platform positions Rite Aid to capitalize on our pharmacy expertise and expand and enhance our pharmacy footprint." Standley will become CEO of the combined company and Albertsons chairman and CEO Bob Miller will serve as chairman. The company will operate main offices in Rite Aid’s Boise, Idaho, headquarters and Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, where privately owned Albertsons is based. The new company will operate 4,900 locations, 4,350 pharmacy counters and 320 clinics across 38 states and Washington, D.C. "We are confident that delivering improved customer experiences and value will drive growth and profitability while creating compelling long-term value for shareholders,” Standley said. The name of the combined company will be determined by transaction close. Most Albertsons pharmacies will be rebranded as Rite Aid and the company will continue to operate Rite Aid standalone pharmacies. “The hallmark of Albertsons Companies’ business has been to become the favorite local supermarket of our customers,” Miller said. “We have always put our customers

first, and our combination with Rite Aid will enable us to even better serve the valuable pharmacy customer by providing a fully integrated one-stop-shop for our customers’ food, health and wellness needs.” Under the terms of the agreement, Rite Aid shareholders will have the right to elect to receive either one share of Albertsons common stock plus $1.83 in cash or 1.079 shares of Albertsons stock in exchange for every 10 shares of Rite Aid common stock. Depending upon the results of cash elections, shareholders of Rite Aid will own a 28 percent to 29.6 percent stake in the combined company. Current Albertsons shareholders will own a 70.4 percent to 72 percent stake. The transaction has been approved unanimously by the boards of directors of both companies. The merger is expected to close early in the second half of 2018, subject to approval by Rite Aid’s shareholders and regulatory approvals. The deal follows an announcement in September that Walgreens Boots Alliance would buy 1,932 Rite Aid stores for $4.38 billion. Rite Aid operates seven stores in Westchester and six stores in Fairfield County, according to the company’s website.

MEXICUE ON HARBOR POINT ROAD IN STAMFORD

Mexicue, a New York City restaurant chain, welcomed invited guests to its first Connecticut restaurant location at 15 Harbor Point Road at Stamford’s Harbor Point waterfront on Feb. 20 in advance of its scheduled Feb. 22 opening. Mexicue promotes itself as being “inspired by the Mexican tradition ... with a twist of the American South” and occupies a two-floor location, each with its own outdoor space. Mexicue, which began as a food truck before branching out into three Manhattan restaurants, takes over the space formerly occupied by the Mexican restaurant Paloma, which closed in December 2016. “The restaurant scene has become one of the most important amenities at Harbor Point,” said Ted Ferrarone, chief operating officer of Harbor Point Development. “We are very glad to welcome Mexicue into our successful and diverse restaurant roster, and we are sure residents and visitors alike will greatly appreciate their MexicanAmerican cuisine and drinks.” — Bill Heltzel, Ryan Deffenbaugh, Kevin Zimmerman, Aleesia Forni and Phil Hall

second Stamford project after the 15-story, 209-unit building at 66 Summer St. That building, which opened in 2015, was sold by Trinity last year to KC Summer Street Owner LLC of Wilmington, Delaware for $67.5 million. The new 19-floor building, which consists of 176,785 square feet of residential and 3,669 square feet of retail space — plus 6,166 square feet of amenity space — cost about $80 million and took roughly 15 months to complete, Goldenfarb said. The “park” that Vela overlooks is actually two, she noted: the 12-acre Mill River Park at 1010 Washington Blvd. and Columbus Park on Main Street, which among other things hosts the popular “Alive@5” summertime concert series. “This location is ideal,

Margolis has worked with nationally recognized firms in San Francisco and Boston on projects, including private hotels such as the Envoy in Boston and private ski resorts like the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, as well as on private homes and multifamily buildings. Margolis said she joined the Vela project in September 2016, with Trinity asking for a “West Coast-influenced” aesthetic. “It’s a mix of urban and western California,” she said, “something that’s tactile and comfortable, warm and functional.” To achieve that effect, Margolis said she used natural materials such as stone and wood throughout the project, especially in such spaces as the 700-square-foot solarium, 820-square-foot » » VELA

Fairﬁeld County’s Community Foundation readies for Giving Day BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

orporate and individual philanthropy will be in the spotlight again as Fairfield County’s Community Foundation is readying its fifth annual Giving Day, an endeavor that seeks to raise funds for 437 local nonprofits. The 24-hour event kicks off at midnight on March 1 and encourages donations of as little as $10 to nonprofits serving the social, economic, educational and cultural needs of the region. Donations can be made via the FCGives.org website, which keeps a real-time tally of how much money is being donated to the individual nonprofits during the course of the event. Last year’s event set a record in raising $1.46 million from 13,718 donors, which topped the previous record set in 2016 of $1.24 million donated by about 11,000 donors. Since its inception five years ago, Giving Day has raised over $4.5 million. Juanita James, president and CEO of Fairfield County’s Community Foundation, stated that nonprofits participating in pre-

Last year, 34 percent of our donations came from ﬁrst-time donors. That is a really great metric and its shows that we are not just tapping into the same donor base. – Bill Tommins, southern Connecticut market president for Bank of America

vious Giving Days saw an average 30 percent increase in the number of new donors connecting with their organizations via this event. “And it is not just about the money being raised,” she said. “This helps the nonprofits learn how to use social media and market the work they’re doing so people can learn more about them.” James noted that this year’s Giving Day is operating with a cloud of uncertainty shadowing it: the recent changes to the federal tax

code nearly doubles the standard deduction for individuals, which some nonprofits see as problematic because taxpayers will now have less incentive to itemize their deductions for charitable giving in order to reduce their taxable income. James did not know how this would impact this year’s event, although she was optimistic for a strong turnout. “I don’t have a target, but I would like it to TWB Beusman top last year,” she said. WCBJ This year’s event will also see Bank of 7.375” w x 7.125” h America’s return as lead sponsor for the 10/30/17 event. Bill Tommins, southern Connecticut market president for Bank of America, is eager to see a wider scope of new donors in this year’s effort. “The whole concept of Giving Day is to

expand individual donations,” Tommins said. “Last year, 34 percent of our donations came from first-time donors. That is a really great metric and its shows that we are not just tapping into the same donor base.” In addition to Bank of America, Giving Day sponsors include Whole Foods, Sacred Heart University’s Master of Public Administration program, Neuberger Berman, Webster Private Bank, BlumShapiro, Cummings & Lockwood LLC, Day Pitney, First County Bank, RZH Advisors, Brewport, Nikki Glekas Events and Chelsea Piers Connecticut. Media partners for this year’s event are Hearst Connecticut Media Group, Moffly Media, Star 99.9 and 95.9 Fox, Barrett Outdoor Communications and News12 Connecticut.

this month after it finalized a merger deal with home construction company CalAtlantic Group Inc. The deal included approximately $1.16 billion in cash and shares of Lennar Class A and Class B common stock valued at $4.9 billion. The Lennar Multifamily Communities division builds mixed-use and other largescale residential properties. The company made a big splash in Westchester in 2015 when it proposed an estimated $275 million project to tear down the largely vacant Westchester Pavilion mall on South Broadway and Maple Avenue and build in its place two, 24-story residential towers with 707 rental apartments and ground-floor retail. The project received

and membership materials. It’s only when Herbert starts discussing the details that it becomes clear just what a major undertaking that was. “We had no capability for doing a PowerPoint presentation, if you can believe that,” he said. Now both his office and the conference room at 10 Middle St. are equipped with large-screen TVs and “first-rate, state-ofthe-art” equipment. As for HR, Herbert said he was stunned to find that performance reviews and even job descriptions were almost foreign concepts. “We had to update our HR manual so we could abide by the laws that had been passed in that area over the past 20 years,” he said. Last summer, the BRBC unveiled a new logo and new marketing and membership materials, courtesy of Susan Katz, assistant professor of mass communications at the University of Bridgeport, who phoned Herbert “out of the blue” shortly after he took over.

needed city agency approvals two years ago this month, and Lennar a year later paid $56.6 million to purchase the mall property from Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. But Lennar has yet to build on those plans, leaving a nearly 4-acre dirt lot standing prominently where the Westchester Pavilion stood. Belew said the company is still committed to the project, but is reworking some of the original plans. Those plans called for 93,840 square feet of commercial space fronting South Broadway and Maple Avenue, including 77,340 square feet of retail space and 16,500 square feet of restaurant space. A sluggish retail market and concerns about the number of parking spaces required to support that level of retail has Lennar rethinking the plans.

“We’re reducing the amount of retail and correspondingly increasing the amount of residential,” Belew said. The design will still be two towers, although Belew said slight changes to their configuration will be required. The construction will be divided into two phases, essentially one tower at a time. Belew described the project as simply too big to be built all at once. The White Plains Common Council is considering a request from Lennar’s legal team to extend its site plan approval for another year; it was last extended in February last year. An amendment to those site plans would have to be approved separately by the city once Lennar comes forward with the changes.

work, with plenty of input from Herbert and other BRBC staff, was too good to refuse, Herbert said. “They did it for free,” he said with a laugh. The council also jettisoned its CFO position and outsourced what Herbert called “a wholly inadequate financial accounting system” to Partners Financial Services Inc. It has proven more cost-effective than having a salaried employee in that role, said Herbert. “It’s way better than it used to be.” Herbert has also stepped up the BRBC’s communications efforts, led by his weekly “Mickey’s Mail” e-newsletter, whose breezy wit goes some distance in disguising that it’s “really a commercial for the BRBC,” he said. With these changes, Herbert said, “There’s a real buzz about us now and we’re starting to see more excitement about what we’re doing.” The council recorded the largest single-event attendance in its history at its annual dinner last December, when MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO James Murren gave the keynote

address. “We had about 425 people, and we kept negotiating with the Trumbull Marriott for more tables right up to the day of the event,” Herbert said. “A lot of that had to do with the speaker, but that’s helping us build buzz.” Monthly “Coffee, Contacts & Conversation” events have grown from “three or four people attending to 35 to 40,” he said, while special economic development briefings featuring area developers like Steve Tyliszczak — development administrator of Bridgeport Landing Development, which is developing the 2 millionsquare-foot waterfront project Steelpointe Harbor — and Brett Wilderman, principal and co-founder of Forstone Capital, have also proven popular. “It’s things like these that enable us to disprove the rumor that ‘nothing good ever happens in Bridgeport’,” Herbert said. Earlier this month 48 BRBC staffers — including a fair share of its 60-member board — attended a dayand-a-half strategic planning session at the Madison Beach Hotel in Madison. The group’s first such powwow in five years, Herbert said

The company has had some informal talks with city officials, but Belew said Lennar doesn’t anticipate bringing any new plans forward until the spring. That would leave the start of construction likely at least another year out, he said. In the meantime, Lennar has taken over development of a separate mixed-use apartment project on nearby Mamaroneck Avenue. The Common Council approved plans last fall for 434 apartments and ground level retail on a 2.1-acre site with frontage on Mamaroneck Avenue, East Post Road and Mitchell Place. Belew was the developer who took that project to the city in early 2017, though he was working at the time for Alliance Residential Partners, a private multifamily real estate developer out of Phoenix.

When Belew joined Lennar, he took the project with him. Lennar Multifamily has purchased the contract to develop the property, Belew said, with plans to start construction later this summer. The approved plans call for a mix of studios and apartment units ranging from one to three bedrooms. Those apartments would be spread across three building segments that total 440,000 square feet: two 15-story buildings and a six-story building. Included in the project is 8,000 square feet of ground-level retail and restaurant space on Mamaroneck Avenue. Belew said Lennar was attracted to the project’s location along White Plains’ “restaurant row.” “We are big believers in transit-oriented urban/suburban nodes continuing to

be big centers of growth in the New York metro area as renters continue to get priced out of the higher cost areas in New York City and the immediate surrounding areas,” Belew said. “Cities like White Plains provide a lot for the money with a good lifestyle and easy access to New York City via train.” Lennar Multifamily moved to 1 Landmark Square in Stamford three months ago after working out of a temporary office. The New York regional office was officially launched in June. Belew’s office oversees covers the New York City Metro region, including the Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The Stamford office will also oversee Lennar Multifamily’s development initiatives in the rest of the northeast and mid-Atlantic.

that the BRBC is “still taking in ideas” and will appoint a strategic planning committee shortly to develop a three-year plan. “They used to be fiveyear plans, but things move a lot more quickly these days,” he said. The organization will also meet with MGM executives over the next few days to more fully discuss that company’s proposed casino in downtown Bridgeport. “That’s our next big issue,” Herbert said. The BRBC board is expected to make

its position known on the topic soon; Herbert said he’s personally in favor of it. Herbert said he was looking forward to working with newly elected board chairman Kate Hampford Donahue and growing membership. “She’s what I call an activist chairman — she has all 10 toes in, and I do too,” he said. The regional council numbers about 730 members. “We had a year of growth last year and I anticipate another this year,” Herbert said.

He admitted that losing the minor-league baseball team the Bridgeport Bluefish last year still hurt. Herbert was a co-founder and majority owner for some nine years of the club, which upon losing its Bridgeport lease is relocating to High Point, North Carolina. The former Ballpark at Harbor Yard is in the midst of a $15 million renovation to turn it into a music amphitheater. “I was, and still am, sorry to see it go,” he said. “But I’m still wearing a Bluefish tie!”

Six options for a family business succession BY GREGORY KEEFE

ometimes the timing is perfect: the head of a successful family business is ready to retire when another capable family member is ready to take over the reins. There’s no void in the

lead to worry about, no liens on the business to be resolved or any other imposing factors. Easy switchover, right? Maybe. Good timing can help smooth the succession of a thriving family business, but there’s more to the process than that.

MINIMIZE OWNERSHIP TRANSFER COSTS

Without proper planning, the shift of a business’ ownership from one family member to another, or to an unrelated person, could result in an accumulation of income, gift and even estate taxes to be

paid through the business’ assets, thereby devaluing the operation. Always consult with a tax professional and estate planning attorney about ways to mitigate amassed costs in the transfer. Another consideration is a scheduled gifting program, where the business assets are disbursed in planned installments. This can help offset a potentially large gift-tax liability resulting from the outright transfer of ownership to a beneficiary, but it also would delay its complete transfer.

TRANSFER OWNERSHIP THROUGH A WILL

Using a will to transfer the ownership of a business can be an effective way to put into action previously held discussions and decisions on who will run the business upon the current owner’s death and how the operation’s activities will shift. For instance, a specific heir can be named as the new owner or controlling member of a family business, eliminating the unwanted chance of the business being equally divided among several heirs. A will also can spell out how to recapitalize the company’s stock, where portions of the company’s voting and nonvoting stock go directly to specific heirs, depending on their participation in the business or not. Succession

Depending on a business owner’s estate goals, a trust or annuity can be implemented for the orderly transfer of the operation’s ownership.

plans also can be set with a will, where previously determined specifics are put in writing and executed.

MAKE AN OUTRIGHT SALE

Selling a family business outright to a relative or other person allows its owner to walk away with a lump sum of cash or assets without the business being subject to gift or estate taxes, as long as the sale is made at the company’s full fair market value. However, a capital gains tax could be incurred if the transaction occurs before the owner’s death. One way to mitigate those taxes is with a buy-sell agreement that dictates the future terms of the sale to a named buyer. The agreement is triggered when specified circumstances are met, such as the owner’s retirement, death, disability or divorce. The contract precludes an owner’s ability to sell the business to another person without the named buyer’s consent.

CONSIDER A SELF-CANCELING INSTALLMENT NOTE

With a self-canceling installment note (SCIN), an owner can transfer his or her business to a family member or other person through a promissory note, through which the buyer makes regular payments for the operation until the death of the owner, at which point any remaining payments are cancelled. An SCIN doesn’t incur gift or estate taxes and can provide long-term income plus a security interest in the transferred business.

ESTABLISH A TRUST OR ANNUITY

Depending on a business owner’s estate goals, a trust or annuity can be implemented for the orderly transfer of the operation’s ownership. For instance, when the nextin-line is a minor or family member not yet experienced enough to take over the business’ reins, a trustee or professional manager can be named to run the business, with the extra income generated from the operation held in the established trust or dispersed through it to its beneficiaries. Another option is to put a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) or a grantor retained unitrust (GRUT) in place to allow a business owner to retain his appreciating assets while collecting annuity or unitrust payments for a period of years. A private annuity also can be established, where an owner could sell the business in exchange for life-long payments or, in the case of a joint and survivor annuity, to the owner and second person. Because a private annuity involves the sale of a business, there aren’t any gift or estate taxes involved, but a capital gains tax may be incurred. Fortunately, there are plenty of options when it comes to transferring a family business. To determine what’s best for your family’s situation and in line with your overall estate planning goals, talk with your accountant, estate planner and attorney.

ESTABLISH A FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Transferring a solely owned business into a family limited partnership with general and limited partnership interests allows a business owner to maintain control of the operation’s general interest, including control of its usual dealings, while gifting portions of the business in installments to the partnership’s family members. When gifted in specified amounts, the arrangement could allow for the business to be transferred with limited transfer tax obligations.

BRIEFLY FIRST SIKORSKY COMBAT RESCUE HELICOPTER IN FINAL ASSEMBLY

Sikorsky is beginning final assembly of its first HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter, the first engineering manufacturing development (EMD) aircraft to be assembled at its Stratford headquarters. A total of nine aircraft will be built in Connecticut during the EMD phase of the program. The company, a division of Lockheed Martin, said the timing of the final assembly means the aircraft's first flight could occur by the end of the year, two months ahead of schedule. The final assembly process includes installation of the new Tactical Mission Kit delivered from Lockheed Martin's Owego, New York, facility. The integration of sensors, radar and multiple defense systems is designed to bring added intelligence into the cockpit, giving pilots more information to make split-second decisions. "The HH-60W will be the most thoroughly networked and connected vertical lift platform ever produced, bringing unrivaled capability in high-threat environments," said Tim Healy, director of Sikorsky Air Force Programs. "The HH-60W allows the entire suite of air and space power to be linked and employed in support of combat rescue operations, even in deep and denied territory." The U.S. Air Force program of record calls for 112 helicopters to replace the Air Force's aging HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters, which perform critical combat search and rescue and personnel recovery operations for all U.S. military services. The $1.5 billion contract includes development and integration of the next generation combat rescue helicopter and mission systems, including delivery of nine HH-60W helicopters as well as six air crew and maintenance training devices. Sikorsky said it successfully conducted the training systems design review in September.

EPA REJECTS CT PETITION ON PA PLANT'S EMISSIONS

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rejected a petition first submitted by the state of Connecticut in June 2016 regarding emissions from the Brunner Island Steam Electric Station in Pennsylvania. The agency failed to respond to the petition within a 60-day time limit mandated by the Clean Air Act and the state filed a lawsuit against the agency in May 2017. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Warren Eginton rejected the EPA’s request that it be given until the end of the year to respond. The state argued that emissions from the coal- and gas-powered plant are contributing to air pollution in Connecticut, even though the plant is 175 miles away in York Haven. In rejecting the petition, the EPA stated Connecticut failed to “demonstrate that the source emits or would emit in violation of the good neighbor

provision such that it will significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in Connecticut.” The EPA added that the “Brunner Island facility does not currently emit nor is it expected to emit pollution in violation of the good neighbor provision for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.” Although the EPA’s initial refusal to act on the petition occurred during the Obama administration, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy directed his criticism of the petition denial squarely at the current White House leadership. “Once again, the Trump administration is putting the lives of Connecticut residents at risk,” he said in a statement. — Kevin Zimmerman and Phil Hall

With a background in hospitality, Margolis said she paid special attention to the design of Vela’s amenities, such as its 590-squarefoot yoga room, 500-square-foot arcade and 1,400-square-foot roof deck. “I wanted to create spaces outside of the rooms where people would feel comfortable mixing together, either as a group or as neighbors who might be interested in getting to know each other,” she said. To that end, the clubroom includes a

kitchenette, pool table and both sectional couches and café-style seating depending on one’s mood. The arcade — next to the yoga room and 1,000-square-foot fitness center on the second floor — includes shuffleboard and foosball along with what she described as classic arcade games. Rents at the building range from $1,847 to $2,915 for studios, most of which are 610 square feet; $2,233 to $4,099 for one-bedrooms, which range from 719 to 998 square feet; and $3,373 to $6,853 for two-bedrooms, which range from 957 to 1,154 square feet. Trinity’s Goldenfarb said that no retail tenants have yet been signed for Vela’s first floor, but that she expected some announcements to be made soon.

Experts Tackle Impact of Tax Reform The impact of federal tax reforms on the New York State taxpayers may not be as dire as early predictions, but could vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. That was the message at the BCW’s KeyBank Speaker Series held February 14 at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown. The event, which featured a panel of experts from the fields real estate, accounting and not-for-profits, tackled the impact of the new limits on deductibility of state and local taxes (SALT), charitable donations, mortgage interest and other traditional deductions. Keynote speaker Edmund J. McMahon, Founder and Research Director of the Empire Center for Public Policy, said that those hardest hit would be property owners with mortgages between $750,000 to $1 million and empty-nesters who will not benefit from increases in the child tax credit. He said while there was no rule of thumb, most Westchester couples with two children could actually see their taxes go down between 1 and 9 percent, but those in higher tax communities like Briarcliff, Chappaqua and Pleasantville could see an increase of 3 to12 percent.

Realty, said that while the real estate sector would be the hardest hit as a result of tax reform, the hit has come at a good time since the industry is doing very well. He said that while some might be discouraged from buying new homes because of the loss of mortgage deductibility, homes were actually at their most affordable since 1981 making it an attractive investment. Mark R. Baran, JD, LL.M., Principal, Tax Practice, Marks Paneth, said businesses would get an immediate shot in the arm from the tax reform as a result of the tax rates dropping from 35 to 21 percent. He said that an additional benefit of deductibility for purchases this year will help to boost the economy as businesses take advantage of this with a spending spree on capital improvements. Alana Sweeney, President and CEO of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam, said tax reform could have dire consequences for smaller non-profits who rely on smaller donations, which are forecast to drop significantly with the lack of deductibility. She said non-profits stand to lose $146 billion according to the Lilly School of Philanthropy She said that non-profits may need to shift focus onto corporations who may be more open to giving as a result of the tax windfall.

WCA, Pace team up for land use 'playbook' BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

s real estate developers eye projects such as mixed-use apartment buildings across Westchester County, it’s important that municipal zoning keeps up. That’s at least part of the thinking behind the new “Land Use Development Playbook,” a collaboration between the Westchester County Association and Pace University’s Land Use Law Center. The book is expected to be published this spring. The idea is to help Westchester’s local governments improve the rules and systems that guide their zoning and land use approval processes. “There’s a lot of disconnect currently between planning and zoning and the market,” said Jessica A. Bacher, executive director of the Land Use Law Center. "This is to bring those closer together and take the time to evaluate those trends in conjunction with planning and zoning." Bacher said those trends include "interest in mixed-use development, opportunities near transit, opportunities for live-work

The town of Harrison opened up zoning around its Interstate 287 corridor and brought in apartment developers, medical offices, a Life Time fitness and a Wegmans grocery store to an area once solely focused on office parks. Port Chester is both considering proposals to hire a master developer and rezoning parts of its downtown. But the team behind the playbook emphasizes that there is no single plan that could apply to the diverse range of Westchester locales. “Because Westchester is 43 separate municipalities, there’s a wide range of

skills and resources in their various planning departments,” said William V. Cuddy, executive vice president at CBRE Group Inc. in Stamford and chair of the Westchester County Association Smart Growth Initiative. “What we’re addressing via the playbook will be how to best leverage the available planning resources.” The playbook provides, as described by Bacher, a way for communities to consider, “where are the assets and the opportunities for development?” To help guide that process, the book will include guides on how to streamline review and approval processes. The focus, Bacher said, is on the “tools that municipalities can use to design how they develop and control the process involved. Rather than being responsive, they can be proactive.” That includes examples of best practices and examples of municipalities that have had success in streamlining zoning and review processes.

The Westchester County Association will work with the Pace Land Use Law Center over the next few months to finalize the book. It will be released by the association at its annual real estate summit on May 22. The book builds on work the Westchester County Association’s Real Estate and Housing Task Force, which has reached out to a mix of real estate professionals, government officials, bankers, brokers, consultants and planners. Its recommendations will be promoted with the proverbial carrot. The association plans to give yearly recognition awards to municipalities that best act on the playbook's guidance. Cuddy described the book as the first of its kind in the county. “There has not been a centralized documented resource that provides cutting-edge techniques and methodologies for good planning, zoning and project implementation,” he said. “So, we hope to raise the bar by sharing and promoting these best practices.”

space, the need for affordable housing in our region and the reuse of office parks.” The playbook would offer strategies that could adjust to those trends in the market, while also considering community feedback, helping the municipal tax base and promoting employment and affordability. Municipalities throughout the county have already rethought planning and zoning in some cases to attract development. New Rochelle has a number of large-scale apartment and retail projects under construction in its downtown as part of a master plan that calls for attracting $4 billion in investments around the city's downtown Transit Center.

IN COURT BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

ALLEGED SCAMMER MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN SCAM VICTIM

A Somers man who was arrested on Valentine’s Day in connection with a financial scam may have himself been a victim. Douglas E. Castle was accused of wire fraud in federal court in White Plains for allegedly soliciting $750,000 from two people on promises of investing the money. Instead, the criminal complaint states, he used the funds for personal expenses as well as to send to people in Ghana. He concealed his losses, the complaint states, “in an effort to regain his own lost money and attract new funds.” Castle’s attorney, Rachel Martin, did not respond to a request for comment. The complaint states that Castle persuaded an unnamed victim to loan him $525,000 to invest in a United Kingdom firm. Instead, he allegedly transferred funds to people in Ghana. He persuaded another unnamed victim to loan him $250,000 to invest with an associate with whom he claimed he had completed successful deals. Actually, the government said, Castle had sent funds to the associate but had not been repaid.

The victims fell for the stories several times, loaning from $50,000 to $200,000 at a time, from 2014 to 2017. The complaint describes the alleged hustle as an “advance fee scam,” a common online fraud in which the victim is promised outsized returns in exchange for advance payment of various banking and legal fees. Castle allegedly claimed that his Ghanaian associate owed him $7 million and he just needed $100,000 to pay for transferring funds to the U.S. He didn’t mention that he had already transferred $480,000 to Ghana, including funds previously loaned by both victims, and had received nothing in return. The victim wired him $100,000. Two FBI agents who were unaware of Castle’s solicitations interviewed him in June 2016 after Ghanaian authorities froze one of his wire transfers. By then, the complaint states, Castle believed that he was being defrauded by his business associate. But following the interview, Castle continued to solicit funds from both victims. And nearly a year later, in May 2017, he sent the victims an email that said he had been driven to attempted suicide. He said he was working with a special unit of the FBI, a multiagency task force, Secret Service and the FTC “to bring these individuals to justice and to recover whatever balances may be obtainable.” The FBI had no record of contacts with Castle after the

2016 interview. Castle posted a $500,000 appearance bond. Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison ordered him to continue mental health treatment and counseling.

BRIDGEPORT BIODIESEL LOOKS TO REFUEL IN CHAPTER 11

Bridgeport Biodiesel 2 LLC, a Connecticut firm that recycles used cooking oil, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. The company declared $32,000 in assets and $2.4 million in liabilities in a petition filed on Feb. 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains. It’s production facility is in Bridgeport, and founder and CEO Brent Baker lives in Pearl River in Rockland County, New York. Bridgeport Biodiesel and its parent company, Sustainable Biodiesel Co., are also affiliated with Tri-State Biodiesel in the Bronx. The Bridgeport Biodiesel website describes Sustainable as a “social enterprise” and the largest cooking-oil-to-biodiesel-fuel company on the East Coast. It has operations in California, District of Columbia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The website says that Baker was instrumental in helping to pass a New York City law requiring the use of biodiesel in all heating oil sold in the city. It says Sustainable was the first company to sell biofuel to private fleets in the city and to set up a biodiesel pump at a gas station in the city. In bankruptcy filings, the National Development Council’s Grow America Fund claims it is owed $2.4 million. The New York City nonprofit helped finance construction of a refinery at the Bridgeport Eco-Industrial Park in 2014. The list of the 20 largest unsecured creditors does not show amounts for their claims, suggesting that liabilities could come in significantly higher than shown in the first-day summary. Bridgeport Biodiesel 2 had gross revenue of $750,000 in 2016 and $3.3 million last year.

Other awards and their winners include: • Education and Literacy Award — Ardsley resident Stephanie Marquesano and the New Rochelle High School CODA (Co-Occurring Disorders Awareness) Club for their volunteer work with the harris project; • Going Green Award — Ossining resident Suzie Ross for her volunteer work with Green Ossining; • Quality of Life Award — James Rathschmidt, a Mahopac resident and founder of United for the Troops; • Safe Community Award — Bedford resident Paul Alcorn and Mount Kisco resident Mel Berger for their volunteer work with The Emergency Shelter Partnership; • Social Advocacy Award — Stony Point resident Christine Silverstein for her volunteer work with United Women of Rockland; • Youth Leadership Award — Shakil Henriques of Mount Vernon for his volunteer work with Wartburg.

NORWALK GETS $7M FROM STATE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

The city of Norwalk will receive $7 million in funding from the State Bond Commission for infrastructure upgrades and safety improvements for the Glover Avenue/Main Avenue intersection.

“This investment will greatly improve public safety,” said Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff of Norwalk. “With its proximity to Route 7, the Merritt Parkway and a stop on the Danbury Branch line, this project will help foster transit-oriented development, economic development and job creation in this vital corridor.” The area is home to a variety of businesses, including Diageo, Factset Research Systems, Datto, Frontier Communications and General Electric. “This is great news,” Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling said. “The Glover Avenue project is adjacent to the majority of Norwalk’s Class A office space and a key to the economic future of Norwalk and the state of Connecticut. This investment illustrates the ongoing cooperation between our city and the state of Connecticut to improve our local infrastructure and to bring necessary development to our community.” The city of Norwalk has included a line of $1 million in its capital budget over the next four years, anticipating a $4 million total investment on its behalf.

PRICELINE GROUP REBRANDS AS BOOKING HOLDINGS INC.

The Priceline Group Inc. has changed its name to Booking Holdings Inc. The company will also change its NASDAQ stock ticker to BKNG on Feb. 27. Glenn Fogel, CEO of the Norwalkheadquartered company, said the name change was tied to the largest of the six brands under the Priceline umbrella, Booking.com. The site averages more than 1 million bookings per day and generates the majority of the company’s gross bookings and operating profit. “We are at a defining moment in our company’s history,” he said, adding Booking Holdings Inc. would “more accurately align our company name with our largest business, connect our collective brands to a name that reflects their shared capability to help customers book amazing experiences, as well as better reflect the truly global operation that we have become today.” In addition to Booking.com and Priceline. com, the company also operates the Kayak,

ASK ANDI By Andi Gray

Getting a handle on ﬁnance WHY IS KEEPING UP WITH FINANCES SO COMPLICATED — I REALLY DON’T GET IT. IT SHOULD BE MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD. MAYBE WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE; MAYBE THINGS AREN’T ORGANIZED ENOUGH? I CONSTANTLY STRUGGLE TO KNOW WHAT’S COMING IN, WHAT BILLS TO PAY, WHERE WE STAND WITH THE BANK. I NEED TO CATCH UP WITH EVERYTHING AND THEN STAY CAUGHT UP. SUGGESTIONS? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Getting your arms around finance includes sorting out who handles what. Prioritize organization. Reconcile accounts regularly. Decide what reports are needed and how frequently. Start with key duties. At the top of the list is properly entering incoming and outgoing information, including invoices to customers, bills from vendors, credit card and other charge receipts, and all loan documents. If you’re not sure how to set things up, hire a bookkeeping training firm, or ask your accounting firm to show you. Write out procedures and insist they be followed. Hire someone with bookkeeping or accounting training to make entries. Don’t rely on someone who learned “on the job” as they may not fully understand how to correctly enter transactions. Include your accountant when interviewing candidates to help spot competence issues. Consider hiring a bookkeeping firm to come in periodically if you don’t need someone full time. Make entering data a priority and get things organized. Have three “in” baskets for invoices that need to be entered, incoming bills from vendors and credit card charges. Add five “out” baskets for invoices to mail, payments to approve, checks to sign, reconciling and filing. Keep your eye on the amount of paper in each basket and don’t let things pile up. Set up bookkeeping in a private office where papers won’t get disturbed. Lock the door when no one is there. Have a phone that doesn’t ring with incoming calls — the person doing accounting should not be interrupted, but might need to make outgoing calls to check on things. Have a shredder on hand for papers that get tossed. Next comes verifying that what’s been entered in your accounting system matches what the other party who is charging

or paying you has in their books. That’s reconciling. Top of the list are bank, credit card, lease and loan statements and client outstanding balances. Who reconciles is as important as what gets reconciled. To protect against theft, it’s important that whoever has access to make entries and changes in the accounting system not be allowed to reconcile. That means your accounting clerk, bookkeeper and controller should not be reconciling bank, credit card and customer statements. Your immediate reaction might be, “but who else knows how to do this stuff ?” Reconciling is pretty easy if information is entered correctly and it’s done every month. You can do it, your accounting firm can do it, or a trusted staff person with good clerical skills can be taught how to reconcile. Set up a monthly protocol to mail statements to all customers with outstanding balances. Include on the statement a name and phone number for the customer to contact

if there’s a question. Assign one person in your company the responsibility for calling all clients with balances more than 30 days past due, to find out when the invoices will be paid. Get a daily cash management report: cash in the bank, upcoming bills to be paid, expected receipts from customers. Review customer aging monthly, focus on collecting oldest balances first. Pay down loans as you build up cash. Set aside time quarterly to plan and review. Use a budget for expenses, forecast your incoming sales, develop reports that compare what’s actually happening with your plans. Meet with people throughout the organization to discuss how well the business is doing and what changes might be beneficial. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

Access Health CEO Jim Wadleigh stepping down BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ccess Health CT CEO Jim Wadleigh is stepping down from the organization, effective in April, following six years with the group. "It was time," Wadleigh told the Business Journal. Noting that his three-year contract expires in June, he said that he hoped to use the late spring to "take some time off, reconnect with my family, and not have to think about the Affordable Care Act for a while." He said he expected to begin his job search in early summer. Wadleigh said his "gut tells me" that his next position will be within the health care field, probably in the private sector. Wadleigh led the state’s health care exchange for more than three years and previously was the organization’s chief information officer. Under his leadership, AHCT strengthened outreach initiatives, resulting in a steadily increasing enrollment. Connecticut had its highest enrollment this cycle and currently has 108,000 residents with health insurance coverage through AHCT. Noting that he served as the organization's interim CEO before being named its chief executive in February 2015, Wadleigh said he hoped to be able to suggest one or two internal candidates for the interim position, which would allow them to go through an open enrollment period to prove their mettle. He will also assist the board throughout the transition period with other matters, he said. Given the suddenness of the announcement, Wadleigh insisted that there were "No nefarious things going on," and that he'd previously discussed with AHCT board members the possibil-

ity of his moving on in past years upon completion of the open enrollment period. “Our health care exchange has been held up as a national model, and that’s because we’ve had strong leaders at the helm and a great team in place,” said Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, who is also chair of AHCT's board. “Jim has been a tireless advocate for an exchange that used every opportunity to educate and be available to consumers, to help them through the selection and enrollment process, and to ensure enrollees understand how to use their new insurance. “Despite the health care policy instability in Washington, Connecticut’s exchange enrollment went up,” she said. “That speaks to Jim’s focus on outreach and ensuring Connecticut residents understood the benefits of having health insurance — and the law around the ACA.” Gov. Dannel Malloy said that Wadleigh and Wyman both deserve “a tremendous amount of credit for ensuring that Access Health CT remains a national leader. With President Trump and Republicans in Washington pulling no punches in their attacks on the Affordable Care Act — from shortening the enrollment period to eliminating cost-sharing reduction payments — the

work of Access Health CT has been both more difficult and more important than ever in the past year. I commend Jim for his efforts on behalf of Connecticut residents.” Wadleigh called himself “extremely lucky to be part of a team that has been leading the nation since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act six years ago. During this time, I’ve seen how our efforts have improved the lives of so many Connecticut residents. “This was a difficult decision,” he said, “but I know the Access Health CT team will continue to provide the value to the many individuals and families that need our services.” The AHCT Human Resources Committee will meet soon to discuss next steps in the search process for a candidate to succeed Wadleigh.

KLEINER LEADS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD

Thom Kleiner has been named executive director of the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board, the Westchester County executive's office announced. County Executive George Latimer said Kleiner's "understanding of the private and public sector" makes him an ideal fit to lead the board, which connects Westchester workers with local businesses through workshops and other informational programming. Kleiner served as town supervisor for Orangetown in Rockland County from 1996 to 2009. After that, he was the Hudson Valley representative for the New York State Commissioner of Labor and Deputy Director of the MidHudson Regional Economic Development Council. As deputy director, he oversaw the strategic plan for the seven-county state economic development council. The Westchester-Putnam board oversees the programming for five workforce development offices in the two counties. — Ryan Deffenbaugh

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY? BY MARK STEVENS

t’s enough to make your head spin. And it’s all nonsense! I’m referring to the “rules” surrounding the marketing of your business. You hear them all the time: • Consumers need to hear or see a message seven times before they will act on it. • A strong response to a direct marketing campaign is in the vicinity of one percent. • It takes six to nine months at the minimum to increase a company’s organic Google ranking. All of these widely believed rules of thumb — and literally hundreds of others— follow the dictum that if you say something often enough, it becomes fact. But as a lifelong entrepreneur who has engaged in marketing throughout my career, I can advise you to ignore it all as nonsense. Worse, a compass that leads you in the wrong direction. Here’s why: • Every business and campaign is different. If you structure a campaign with an exceptional strategy and unique creativity, you can blow past the (“it has to be that way”) numbers. Case in point: when I launched the radio campaign for MSCO (the marketing firm I founded), people had to hear our compelling message “Your Marketing Sucks” just once to act on it and engage our services. An initial $10,000 investment returned $175,000 in the first month — and only went northward from there. • There are so many variables in marketing campaigns — messaging, product, price, competition — that impact results. These complexities laugh at the “rules” because they are the true determinants of results. There is no such thing as uniform results. • Most marketing is created to please the creators as opposed to moving the needle on the one thing and the one thing only that mat-

FCBJ

ters: Return On Investment. It doesn’t matter a whit who in or out of the business “likes” a creative approach. All that counts is its ability (or inability) to generate more dollars than are invested in it. ROI may not meet the “creativity test” but it kicks the stuffing out of any other form of measurement. • Sometimes the simplest, ugliest, least “creative” campaign will produce the highest ROI but it often fails to make it to the marketplace? Why? Influencers in or out of the company insist that it’s too simple, ugly or uncreative. And yet that may we’ll be its strongest attribute. (To return to my case in point again, I was warned by everyone in sight that using the word “sucks” would be disastrous.) So much for the “rules.” • Related to this, the rules always take a back seat to a core element of marketing initiatives: that being messaging. Rates of return, ROI and all the key indicators the guardians of the rules hold up as unarguable, are actually reflections of the power (or lack of it) of the message that underpins the entire campaign. The fact is that you are best off ignoring the rules, tossing out the cliches, turning down the volume on the “experts” who want to shoehorn you into a set of “facts” that are often completely divorced from the realities of the marketplace. So what to do? I strongly recommend the following: • Rely most on your knowledge of the product and the market. • Create a truly compelling message • Test the approach that your gut tells you is best • Measure the results. Listen to the market. A/B test your approach to seek ever higher ROI. When the marketing professors cite their “rules,” take out your earplugs and listen to music.

Investing in rare collectibles

ext time you need to clean out your attic, pay attention. You might be surprised to learn that the old cardboard box containing your childhood collectibles, now collecting only dust, may be worth a small fortune. Consider comic books. Do you happen to be in possession of one of the remaining 100 copies of the 1938 series that marked the first appearance of Superman? If so, brace yourself: last year, one such rare comic sold at auction for nearly $1 million. The owner apparently had purchased it in the 1990s to add to his collection. At the time, he paid $26,000. Every so often, we hear a similar story of the lucky soul whose rare possessions — an antique, a piece of vintage jewelry, a stamp or coin collection, branded memorabilia — earns a fortune. In fact, there are television shows dedicated to just such circumstances. While some rare collections can indeed fetch a good price at auction, the prices depend on the rarity, age and condition of the items in question. In most cases, items that are still in their original unwrapped packaging are most valuable. But these stories are the exceptions. While it may be entertaining and even exciting to add to a prized collection, counting on a windfall from these items may not be wise. The truth is, they are not a viable alternative to stocks, bonds and other more traditional investment vehicles. For one thing, consider liquidity. Many people require at least some access to investments on a timely basis — for college, for vacations, for home improve-

ments and so on. If you are on a timeline and concerned about liquidating your assets, keep in mind that your ability to sell your rare collection and reap the hoped-for rewards depends on having just the right buyer at just the right time. Investing for college educations or retirement is better addressed by looking to more traditional investments and a well-diversified portfolio. What if you planned to finance your children's education, but the time to cash in

While it may be entertaining and even exciting to add to a prized collection, counting on a windfall from these items may not be wise.

on your investment does not align with the best time to liquidate your collection? How can you be sure that your need to draw on your retirement funds, or designate gifts or inheritances, will merge seamlessly with a resurgence of interest in your particular passion? Ease of liquidity is not the only challenge. Another problem is that your collection, be it art, antiques or vintage jewelry, may not appreciate in value as much or as fast as you think — or as much as you need. Yes, it is true that every investment plan has inherent risks; the stock market is no exception. Wise investors plan for a wide range of financial eventualities. Of course, that does not mean you should give away your old baseball cards quite yet. Go ahead and indulge, if you like, but prize your rare collections because they bring you pleasure, not profit. To appropriately benefit from your investments, there has to be a ready market, and it is best if your investments are easily liquidated while you stay rooted to the fundamentals. You will find that dynamic in fluid financial markets, but not so much in the contents of your cardboard boxes.

RECRUITMENT AND HR Special Report

#MeToo pressures, diversity among trends shaping CEO recruitment BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

inding the right person to fill a job is always something of a human resources challenge, but recruiting a new CEO to run an organization can be especially challenging. Principals at executive search firms agree that when it comes to recruiting an executive for a senior management position, the CEO’s job is the most demanding to fill. “I don’t know if there is a universal qualification,” said Lynda S. Wirth, president of Schrier Wirth Executive Search in White Plains. “Everyone says that they want good communications and technical skills, but that varies company by company. And everyone wants integrity and someone that speaks well.” But no one wants controversy, and changing sociopolitical concerns have reshaped the CEO search process. Today’s CEO recruitment efforts are being tightened to ensure the new occupant of the C-suite does not come with unwelcome baggage that could create deleterious publicity. “The MeToo movement is throwing a curveball that is changing the level of due diligence in executive recruitment,” said Krista Bradford, CEO of The Good Search LLC in Westport. “Checking someone’s background in relation to the sexual harass-

ment movement applies to both men and women.” “Personal behavior is more greatly scrutinized,” said Jason Witty, vice president for Robert Half Finance & Accounting in Stamford. “Not only professional behavior, but also personal behavior is hugely important. Gone are the days of just running a criminal background check. Today, recruiters need to get as much information as they can to know all about the individual.” Matthew J. Schwartz, president of MJS Executive Search LLC in Scarsdale, said due diligence on potential CEOs now requires a deeper investigative search. “We need to go beyond the canned references that a candidate presents,” he said. “We have to ask questions of previous bosses, peers and subordinates, if possible, and we need to be asking tough questions. Is there something to be concerned about with this candidate? Is there anything else we should know?” Diversity in executive hiring is another consideration in the CEO search process. Bradford at The Good Search said that while many companies stress the importance of diversity in hiring, that concept often doesn’t easily permeate an organization’s highest level. “There is a great deal of unconscious bias that we all bring to the table,” she said. “That kind of leader-

ship needs to come from the top, and most boards are not diverse. It depends if a nondiverse board is motivated to make itself into a diverse board.” Having corporate leadership consisting solely of white men, said Schwartz, is out of touch with today’s inclusion-oriented society. “It is very important to have an inclusive slate of candidates for a CEO’s position that will reflect who the

company’s customers and business partners are,” he said. “Women are 50 percent of the workforce, yet the number of women in C-suite positions is so small.” The strengthening economy presents its own challenges in the CEO search process is. As more companies earn greater profits, incentives to encourage executives to switch from one job to another must become more generous. “In this economy, many are finding it is harder to make a placement,” said Wirth. “Companies often have to exceed their budget to get someone. No one is going for equal money.” And keeping candidates’ names under wraps during the CEO search is another concern. “It is not uncommon for candidates for a CEO position to pull out if their name is not kept in strictest confidence,” said Witty. A candidate’s savviness with evolving technology has become a key element of CEO recruitment. Bradford noted that some companies are looking beyond their industry for candidates with proven track records in adapting

new technologies to grow the bottom line. “Taking candidates from an adjacent industry makes strategic sense,” she said. “A legacy or older industry may have blind spots, and they can be sitting ducks for a tech spin on an old indus-

try that will result in someone having their lunch. A classic example of that is the retail industry. Today, you need somebody from the outside to bring a strategic mindset, someone who is pretty adept at understanding how technology can disrupt an industry.” Michael Cooke, partner and executive vice president in the Stamford office of The Execu-Search Group, said publicly traded companies sometimes reach outside of their industry for chief executives with strong Wall Street experience. He cited Anthony Noto’s career path from a managing director at Goldman Sachs to his new role as CEO at SoFi and Ruth Porat’s move from CFO and executive vice president of Morgan Stanley to CFO of Google’s parent company Alphabet as prominent examples of this C-suite trend. “Neither one was embedded in the tech industry,” Cooke said of those CEOs. “In their cases, the companies wanted someone that understood and worked with Wall Street over someone in the tech world.”

An employers guide to the Family and Medical Leave Act BY ROBERT G. BRODY AND KATHERINE M. BOGARD

or over 20 years, employers with 50 or more employees have provided employees family medical leave pursuant to federal law. However, despite the law’s lengthy existence, employers still struggle. Resultant missteps expose employers to significant monetary liability. For instance, in Summerlin v. Almost Family Inc., a case out of the U.S. District Court for Connecticut, a jury awarded the plaintiff $400,000 for a Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violation, although the court reduced the award

to almost $200,000 after her interim earnings were taken into account. These types of high dollar awards are not unusual in FMLA cases. As a reminder, the law entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave to assist specified family members and the employee for certain medical reasons while continuing group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave.

THE BASICS

Eligible employees are entitled to 12 workweeks of leave in a 12-month period for the birth of a child

and to care for the newborn child within one year of birth; the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for the newly placed child within one year of placement; to care for the employee’s spouse, child, or parent who has a “serious” health condition; a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job; and any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee’s spouse, son, daughter or parent is a covered military member on covered active duty, or 26 workweeks of leave during a single 12-month period to

care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness if the eligible employee is the servicemember’s spouse, son, daughter, parent or next of kin (military caregiver leave).

TIMING MATTERS

Once the employer receives notice the employee may need FMLA leave, the employer has five business days to provide an eligibility notice to the employee. This is form WH-381 and can be found on the U.S. Department of Labor’s website. Failure to timely notify employees of their eligibility status may violate the law, even though the employee never requested a leave. At

the same time the employer provides the eligibility notice, it is required to provide a rights and responsibilities notice to the employee. This can also be found on form WH-381. Failure to provide the proper notice can expose the company to liability. For instance, in Vannoy v. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, a case out of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, the plaintiff applied for and was granted 30 days of family medical leave. The plaintiff, however, only took a few days of leave. His employer did send him a rights and responsibilities notice but it did not state the plaintiff had job protection rights. Upon his return to work, the plaintiff went on a business trip to Baltimore but did not show up for any of his meetings. Upon his return, his employment was terminated. The plaintiff then brought a host of claims, including

one for FMLA interference, based on the employer’s failure to explain his job protection rights. While the lower court granted summary judgment to the employer, the Fourth Circuit reversed. The Fourth Circuit found there was no dispute the designation notice was inadequate because it did not explain the plaintiff had job protection. Fortunately, the court also noted the plaintiff was required to show he suffered prejudice as a result of the defective notice. The Court found the plaintiff met this burden because he repeatedly testified he would have structured his family medical leave differently had he not feared he would lose his job. This case is a good reminder that for the FMLA, attention to detail is key. Once the employer has enough information to determine if the leave is FMLA qualifying, it has five business days to provide an FMLA designation notice to

the employee. This is form WH-382. If the leave is not FMLA qualifying, the notice may be a simple statement that the leave does not qualify and will not be designated as FMLA leave.

COMMON FMLA MISTAKES

While an employee is out on family medical leave, there are a few key tips to remember. First, if an employee takes intermittent family medical leave, the employer cannot count this as an absence. Therefore, if an employee has attendance issues separate and apart from FMLA leave, the employer must be careful to ensure any FMLA-protected absences are not counted against the employee for disciplinary purposes. Additionally, employers oftentimes fail to accurately track FMLA leave if it is intermittent. The employer should have human resources manage this function because the possibility of

error is great. Also, without accurate records, there is no limit to the actual amount of leave the employee can legally take. When an employee returns from family medical leave, she or he is entitled to the same job or one of equivalent pay, responsibility and benefits. Oftentimes when an employee is out on FMLA, the employer has a replacement fill the employee’s job. In some cases, the employer determines the replacement does a better job than the employee who went out on leave. In some cases, the employer may realize the employee was actually incompetent. Unfortunately, taking action on this realization is difficult as it may lead to a retaliation claim. For instance, if an employer determines the absent employee is a subpar performer while that employee is out on leave, taking immediate action

is extremely risky. The returning employee will likely claim retaliation and very likely win. However, if the employer returns the employee to work and then, in the normal course of business, addresses the subpar performance, there remains a risk of a retaliation claim but its likelihood and chance of success are reduced.

TAKEAWAYS FOR EMPLOYERS

A big first step for employers is ensuring you have posted notice of Family Medical Leave Act rights. The Department of Labor provides a free poster that accomplishes this requirement and many companies sell posters that provide this same notice. The employer should also include an FMLA policy in its handbook that clearly communicates the employee’s FMLA rights and who to contact if FMLA leave is needed.

Communication, however, is only half the battle. Determining who will be responsible for administering the leave is also key. While employees often approach their supervisor about this type of issue, it is best if human resources or one designated person is responsible for the administration function of the leave. This law is too complicated to let just anyone handle it. Training managers on the FMLA’s benefits, an employee’s rights and avoiding FMLA retaliation is also crucial. Oftentimes, managers and co-workers will be frustrated by the burden an employee’s absence places on the team and they take it out on the family medical leave user. This is blatant retaliation and must be avoided. Therefore, training managers to treat employees returning from paid family medical leave consistently with everyone else is key. Supervisors also need to ensure co-workers also treat

the FMLA user fairly. Finally, this federal law can be complicated by local, state and other federal laws. For instance, employers with 75 or more employees in the state of Connecticut have additional obligations under Connecticut’s Family Medical Leave Act. New York state recently enacted paid family leave that has similarities to FMLA but several major differences. For instance, New York paid family leave cannot be taken for one’s own serious health condition, whereas FMLA can be taken for this purpose. Therefore, to the extent multiple leaves are implicated, employers would be wise to contact labor and employment counsel to analyze the availability of various leaves. Robert G.

Investors drive gender pay gap moves by banks BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

etting companies to disclose data on gender and ethnic pay gaps within their organizations can be a difficult task, especially when it comes to the banking industry. Driven in part by Boston investment firm Arjuna Capital, four of the top 10 banks in the U.S. recently have made public that information or announced corporate commitments to equal pay for all, regard-

less of gender or ethnicity. In 2015, Arjuna filed a shareholder proposal asking eBay to close its gender pay gap, which was supported by 51 percent of the online tech company’s shareholders. In October 2016, eBay released its own study finding that 99.8 percent of its female employees received compensation equal to what men made in the same job and at the same grade level. Led by Arjuna Capital’s managing partner Natasha Lamb, the company eventually got six more tech companies — Intel,

Apple, Amazon, Expedia, Microsoft, and Adobe — to upgrade their standards and transparency on gender pay disparity. Google, following a wave of bad publicity, eventually followed suit. While Silicon Valley has acquired a reputation as a boys’ club, so too has Wall Street, despite public protestations to the contrary. Last March, Lamb announced her next target would be the financial sector. Proposals were filed with Citigroup, Wells Fargo, American Express, MasterCard, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, urging them to prepare their own reports to address how they would reduce the gender pay gap and include the percentage gap between the pay of men and women. “It makes no sense to hold America’s tech companies to a high standard on gender pay equity and then pretend that banks should be allowed to discount the issue and operate with no transparency,” Lamb said in announcing that move.

In the proposal, Lamb cited Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 2014 that show female financial advisers faced a 61.3 percent pay gap. And a 2016 study by management consultancy Oliver Wyman found that, while female representation was growing on financial services boards, at 20 percent, and executive committees, at16 percent, the financial services industry globally would reach 30 percent female representation on executive committees by 2048 at current rates of growth. All six of the targeted financial institutions initially rejected Arjuna’s proposal, but now Lamb’s efforts are bearing fruit. Citigroup was the first to take action, announcing on Jan. 15 that it was taking steps to provide gender and ethnicity wage data and to close those gaps. "Our continuing focus on pay equity furthers our goal of being the employer of choice for employees of diverse backgrounds,” Citigroup said in a statement, “and it supports our efforts to attract and retain the best talent and reward performance consistent with our leadership standards. These are clear business imperatives for Citi, and we remain firmly committed to them.” Bank of America made a similar promise on Jan. 25, followed by Wells Fargo on Feb. 1. “Releasing the results of our most recent study highlights Wells Fargo’s ongoing commitment to equitable pay for our team members and our commitment to attracting, developing and retaining top talent,” said Mike Branca, Wells Fargo head of compensation. “We will continue to evaluate team member compensation and make changes when warranted to pay our team members fairly and equitably and remain competitive in the marketplace.” Arjuna Capital has since widened its Wall Street scope to include Bank of New York Mellon, Reinsurance Group and Progressive Insurance. Mellon responded on Feb. 6: “We are committed to providing equal pay for equal work. We plan to continue our review of pay practices to further this goal and, if necessary, to make adjustments as appropriate.” With the responses, Arjuna has withdrawn its gender pay shareholder proposals at Mellon, Citi, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. In Fairfield and Westchester counties, it remains unclear what, if anything, is being done at community banks in the face of such mounting pressure. Several banks declined comment when approached by the Business Journal, while others did not respond to inquiries. Regarding the recent moves by major banks, “The public companies in question were targeted by shareholder engagements, which pressured them to take actions,” Arjuna spokesman Patrick Mitchell told the Business Journal. “While the decisions by BofA, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Bank of New York Mellon may influence smaller, privately held companies to take action, it remains to be seen how that will play out.”

Greenwich Hospital trains its own nurses for OR BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

ver the past few years, Greenwich Hospital found itself with a thorny problem: staffing gaps for experienced operating room nurses. Due to the complexities of an OR nurse’s work, filling those positions was difficult and the problem became more pronounced as the hospital began to see an increase in orthopedic and robotic surgeries. “The experience we were looking for was not really there,” said Rey De La Cruz, a registered nurse who serves as an education specialist at the hospital. “Many nurses have general surgery experi-

ence and GYN experience, but we were looking for nurses with orthopedic, neurosurgery and robotic experience.” Rather than look to outside sources for experienced operating room nurses, Greenwich Hospital opted to start an in-house initiative. In October 2016, the hospital’s Perioperative Nurse Residency Program was launched with an initial cohort of six nurses. Perioperative refers to all phases of surgery, including preoperative, operating room and recovery. “It is a 12-month program that offers lectures, video presentations, demonstrations of basic operating room skills, workshops for instrumentation and equipment and troubleshooting exercises,” said

De La Cruz, the program’s instructor. “The operating room has become complex and technologically advanced and it requires a lot of training and a lot of education.” The residency program also includes physicians working with students as preceptor for all surgical specialties, including general surgery, gynecology, urology, orthopedics and ear, nose and throat. De La Cruz noted that the program had very specific professional requirements for potential participants. “We wanted to get nurses with one to three years of medical surgical experience. We’re not offering it to new grads because nurses with medical and surgical experience have the preparation already for knowing how to

take care of patients and they have the clinical expertise in assessing the patients. It was better for us to train people with that kind of experience.” “Perioperative nursing doesn’t only deal with nursing in itself,” De La Cruz added. “The nurses in the operating room are taking care of the patients before coming to surgery, during the procedure and immediately after the surgical procedure.” Although one nurse dropped out of the program when her family relocated, the remaining five completed their 12-month training and graduated in late January. Among the new operating room nurses was Tanja McCullough, who received her nursing degree in 2004. “I have a background in outpatient surgical care and I was interested in getting the whole interoperative experience,” she said. “The training was amazing. Everybody has been so supportive. I asked questions and everyone was always so eager to jump in

and help me, so I never felt alone. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” De La Cruz said the Greenwich Hospital residency program differs from similar training programs offered elsewhere in that it is “geared towards hiring.” “Perioperative programs in other parts of the country are like going to school,” he said. “You have to pay certain amount of money to be part of the training, but you are not guaranteed a job. We are

doing this because we have positions. Our residency training for the operating room is geared towards hiring. Not only is it a win-win situation, but we train them the way we want them to work.” Greenwich Hospital is accepting applications for a second cohort for the program. De La Cruz was uncertain whether the program will be offered annually. With 38 operating room nurses now on call, projected staffing needs have been met, he said.

DINEEN NAMED TO AQUARIUM BOARD

TEEN THANKS HEALTH CARE TEAM FOR SAVING HER LIFE

David P. Dineen of Darien, an executive of Bankwell, has been elected to a three-year term on the board of trustees of The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. Dineen is executive vice president, head of community banking, at Bankwell. Dineen is a member of the Darien Board of Education, the Darien Volunteer Fire Department and the town of Darien Firefighter’s Foundation. He and his wife also are actively involved with the Tiny Miracles Foundation. TripAdvisor reviewers rate The Maritime Aquarium as one of the Top 25 aquariums in the U.S. and No. 1 in New England.

Seventeen-year-old Kelli MacTaggart and her mother, Chrissy, of Greenwich, were ecstatic during their recent visit to Greenwich Hospital’s emergency department. And, the doctors and first responders were jubilant, too. Kelli and her mom had stopped by to thank the hospital and Greenwich Emergency Medical Service (GEMS) staff for saving her life. The Greenwich Academy junior has no memory of the cardiac arrest episode that had a multitude of GEMS staffers and Greenwich Hospital doctors working hard to keep her alive. “To see you standing here today is a miracle,” said Christopher Davison, medical director of the emergency department. “We didn’t think this was going to end well.” Kelli’s ordeal began when she fainted on the path from Greenwich Academy to Brunswick School. Her classmates immediately called 911. First responders administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation and used a defibrillator multiple times to resuscitate her heart before arriving at the hospital. At the hospital, Kelli had additional episodes of cardiac arrest. Kelli was experiencing ventricular tachycardia or V-tach, a type of fast heart rate that arises from improper electrical activity in the ventricles of the heart. The Greenwich team stabilized the teen who was transferred to Westchester Medical Center and later Columbia Presbyterian for further treatment. Kelli is scheduled to receive an automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator, a device implanted inside the body that can correct most life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. “I’m just so happy to have her. They saved her life,” her mom said. “Kelli’s visit means a lot to all of us here,” said Davison. “Oftentimes, we don’t know what happens to patients once they leave the emergency department. Seeing Kelli was an awesome sight.”

GREENWICH EVENT HELPS BRAZILIAN CHILDREN The Gabriela Dias Foundation, based in Greenwich, partnered with Lugano restaurant for a Feb.16 fundraising event. The event featured a wine tasting and presentation by international actress, producer and humanitarian Gabriela Dias. The nonprofit’s mission is to provide disadvantaged youth, globally, with exposure to the arts both in and outside of the classroom. Launched last fall, the foundation built a cultural house in the region of Vale do Jequitinhonha, one of the poorest regions in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Education is deficient, with 55 percent of the communities in the region able to offer only two to three years of schooling. The illiteracy rate among adults over 25 was 30 percent when calculated in 2000. “I’m so passionate about promoting the rights of children and adolescents worldwide,” Dias said. “I want the foundation to provide exposure to the arts for disadvantaged children at school and after school.”

Stamford-based Americares has given new grants totaling more than $500,000 to five nonprofit organizations in southeast Texas providing health services to Hurricane Harvey survivors.

IMAGES BEING ACCEPTED FOR IMAGES Shoreline Arts Alliance will be accepting submissions for the IMAGES 2018 photography competition and exhibition, March 16-18 at the Mill Gallery of the Guilford Art Center, 411 Church St., Guilford.

fessionals will select the images for inclusion in the IMAGES show. The show takes place March 24 through April 14.

‘BIRDIES FORE LOVE’ CAMPAIGN HELPS MARCH OF DIMES No, it’s not a typographical error: the fore they’re talking about is what you say on the golf course, and employees of RSM US LLP, the audit, tax and consulting services firm with an office in Stamford, were saying “fore” to the tune of $36,373. The funds were raised in their “Birdies Fore Love” campaign, RMS’s charitable giving platform for The RSM Classic, a PGA Tour golfing event for which RSM is the title sponsor. A birdie is a score of 1-under par on a golf hole. “Birdies Fore Love” supports deserving local and national nonprofits, and the firm’s Connecticut market employees selected the March of Dimes as its beneficiary. RSM Connecticut’s donation to March of Dimes was also supported with matching funds from the RSM US Foundation. “RSM has been an amazing supporter of the March of Dimes’ mission for many years,” said Deborah Poudrier-Fafard, executive director for the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts market at March of Dimes. Greg Budnik, market managing partner for RSM’s Connecticut practice, said, “I was impressed by the way our teams worked together to build awareness, create a high level of engagement at all levels within our organization and ultimately raise funds for this important cause.” RSM US LLP is the U.S. member of RSM International, a global network of independent, audit, tax and consulting firms with more than 43,000 people in more than 120 countries.
