Malloy eyes cuts, not more taxes A DEFENSE OF POLICIES AT UCONN STAMFORD

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairink.com

peaking to a room of more than 200 community members at the UConn Stamford campus Feb. 11, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy fielded a flurry of questions regarding his budget proposal to cut nearly $600 million in spending from the state’s $20 billion annual budget. Facing a budget deficit of at least $7 million for this fiscal year and approximately $550 million in the next, plus billiondollar deficits in funding for state employee retirement benefits, Malloy’s $19.87 billion budget revision would cut 5.75 percent

from all agency discretionary budgets and reduce overall state spending by $570 million in the next fiscal year. Members of the public, including advocates for affordable housing and at-risk children and representatives of community health services and the state education system, sought answers as to why a range of services and organizations would lose their funding. Throughout the more than hour-long town hall forum, Malloy stuck to the theme that hard times call for hard decisions and shared sacrifice. “We are living in a different dynamic, one that is unlike any» MALLOY, page 6

Former Celtics executive tackles a different risk STEVE SCHRAM, SPURRED BY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, HANDLES INSURANCE VIGILANTLY

BY ALEX SOULE Hearst Connecticut Media

teve Schram’s unusual career went from being president of the Boston Celtics to now selling umbrella/gap insurance to the ultrawealthy at Gowrie Group in Darien. Having run operations at a legendary sports franchise and famed resort, as the water was raining down from Steve Schram’s kitchen ceiling in Darien three years ago, he was thinking a lot harder about where to find the shutoff valve than where his next career move might land him. As it turns out, it landed him locally, helping other affluent residents in a similar predicament. At one time a senior executive with the Boston Celtics and later a developer at the Greenbriar in West Virginia, Schram today is an insurance specialist in the Darien office of Gowrie Group, a longtime brokerage firm for whom Schram is leading development of a new “family risk management” practice. Schram’s idea, stemming from his own experience following the deluge in his kitchen, is to actively manage wealthy fam-

ilies’ insurance coverage in the same way they would expect their investment manager might handle their finances — remain constantly vigilant for oversights and gaps and consistently scout for the best policies from carriers. “I’m at home and I hear my wife go, ‘Oh, my God,’” Schram recalled of the moment that eventually led him to Gowrie Group. “So I walk in and our kitchen — basically it’s a waterfall, there’s water coming in out of the ceiling, going everywhere. (I) … realized, ‘Wow, I’ve got a real problem here.’ Started to really learn about insurance from the guy that had the (policy) and it wasn’t a very good experience.” When his broker steered him to the insurance company and its claims adjusters — “not a fair fight,” as Schram recalled it — and in having to battle for the carrier to honor provisions of his insurance contract, Schram felt there had to be a better way. “I come from a very competitive environment where I want to know what markets are, I want to know where values are,” Schram said. “As I got into this further and further, I said, ‘Boy, this whole business model ... is

inn’s Fresh Noodle House and Café at 923 Post Road in Fairfield, a member of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, held its official ribbon cutting Feb. 8. Jinn’s owner Allen Chen was born in China and has 18 years experience in the restaurant industry. After working at numerous restaurants, Chen in 2003 owned his first restaurant in Mississippi. In 2007, he opened a restaurant in Old Saybrook.

Chen’s vision is “to build a bridge between American and Asian cultures by sharing healthy and wonderful food as well as promote the Chinese food culture, which has 5,000 years of history.” “Feb. 8 is the first day of the Chinese New Year and scheduling the ribbon cutting on that first day means good fortune,” Chen said. — Bill Fallon

poorly conceived and poorly executed.’” While insurance carriers like Allstate, Liberty Mutual, State Farm and Travelers dominate personal lines in Connecticut, a different cohort of companies have carved out market share among high-net-worth customers, including AIG, Chubb and Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange, or PURE. The higher premiums collected for such policies come with some perks — for instance, AIG’s private client program includes a “family safety and security” service that can be tailored to address a wide range of threats; or wildfire protection for customers with homes in the western United States with AIG ready to dispatch teams to foam down homes at risk of exposure to fire. In October, Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg estimated at $40 billion the market for property and casualty insurance for affluent clients sought by his company, with the Hartford-based insurance research firm Conning estimating the entire U.S. market at $250 billion. “There are a lot of customers out there who are not buying high net worth (insurance), though they have the need of the coverage and the services that are provided,” Greenberg said. “They are not really price conscious — they just don’t focus on it.” Schram himself worked his way up into the tax brackets eyed by Chubb and others in part via the public company that owned the Boston Celtics, where between 1992 and 1998 he was president and vice chairman. It was a period during which the team struggled to find the way forward from the Big Three era of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish; suffered the death of star Reggie Lewis; and left its familiar Boston Garden

haunts for the arena today called TD Garden. Schram’s years with the Celtics germinated via his employer Brookwood Investments, a fund managed by then-Greenwich resident Don Gaston and his family who acquired an ownership interest in the team. Schram found himself assigned to turning around WEEI, a then-family-owned sports radio station in Boston that carried Celtics games, as well as FOX 25 TV. Success on those assignments led to his elevation to managing the company that owned the Celtics, also serving on the NBA’s board of governors, with the Celtics making the playoffs twice in that span but bottoming out in with 15 wins in the 1996-97 season. Schram left in 1998 to become chairman and partner with Dolan & Pollak, with the newly renamed DP&S developing multiple large real estate projects including at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. He says it was his years with DP&S that gave him a crash course in how to build a business, with the firm creating limited liability companies with dedicated staff and resources for each of its projects. “It was a very exciting and challenging time in my life — I approached the Celtics position as, ‘how can we run the best business possible?’” Schram said. “I am a sports fan, but not (a) fanatic, and if your eyes rolled into the back of your head every time you met with Larry Bird or Red Auerbach, you were in the wrong place ... Had a great ride — thoroughly enjoyed it — but it was time to move to the next challenge.” Alex Soule is a reporter with Hearst Connecticut Media. He can be reached at Alex.

Security and passwords remain integral and critical BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

ancy Haddad is new business development director for U.S. Computer Connection at the company-owned offices at 933 Hope St. in Stamford’s Springdale neighborhood. The privately held company is 29 years old and employs 15. The company’s services include IT consulting, cybersecurity and compliance, backup and disaster recovery, cloud computing and IT project management. Haddad answered three questions concerning computer security that, like other questions in the technical world, might not have existed or might have seemed less important in the not-so-distant past. FCBJ: IT SEEMS BASIC, BUT HOW IMPORTANT IS ACCESS TO MY NETWORK PASSWORDS? HADDAD: “If your business relies upon computers like many area companies and health care providers, you likely have a server, firewall, wireless access points and sundry network infrastructure hardware. All of your network hardware and your domain name are password protected to secure the network. Do you know your network passwords? Is your domain name listed under your name? If the answer is no, you might consider a new network password policy.” WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT NETWORK PASSWORDS? “Network passwords protect your serv-

er, firewall, backup and wireless network from would-be intruders. If you are using complex passwords to lock down your network, congratulations, because you are ahead of the cybersecurity game. Most companies leave network passwords in the hands of their trusted IT professionals. But, what is your plan when something happens to that IT professional? You’ve heard the phrase ‘no ticket, no laundry,’ so ‘no password, no access’ should not be a big surprise.”

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? “Recently, we met with a prospective client who enjoyed 12 years of bliss with their IT provider. However, things changed rapidly after a recent upgrade and it could not be more apparent that the relationship would soon be coming to a close. The problem is that every password, including email and their domain name registration, is in the hands of the old provider. Not cool, but said provider is not willing to hand over the passwords — in essence holding the company hostage. Later the same week, we met with a new client in a quandary because his IT provider passed away. He is working through the probate lawyer handling the estate of his former IT guy to access his company network passwords. The probate lawyer is going through the deceased provider’s apartment and trying to gain access to the records. What a nightmare. And if anything happens to the network in the meantime, there is not much we can do. Time and again we find companies have no idea the significance of their network passwords. If you are in that boat, it may be time to update your password policy. Designate yourself or a long-time employee to have access to your passwords. Keep them in a secure location, but understand and have access to the information. In addition, check your domain name registration and make certain it is registered to you or a trusted partner within your company.”

Aetna provides nearly $100,000 for child and family health services

THE PROTECTIVE FACTORS FRAMEWORK FOCUSES ON BUILDING RESILIENCE IN FAMILIES BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

ortune 100 health care insurance provider Aetna Inc. of Hartford has given nearly $100,000 to support the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center’s mission of providing child health services in the Hartford region and beyond, including in the health care company’s Fairfield and Danbury specialty care centers. With the $99,850 grant from the Aetna Foundation, the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center’s office for community child health, the coordinating entity for its community-oriented programs, is building upon past work and expanding the use of an approach called the “strengthening families protective factors framework,” to design, implement and evaluate interventions that will benefit vulnerable children across the country. “There is a growing recognition that the foundations of a healthy, productive life are

built in early childhood,” said Paul Dworkin, executive vice president for community child health at the Medical Center. “Research has also shown a correlation between five protective factors and positive outcomes for children and families.” The five protective factors — parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need, and social and emotional competence of children — equip families to meet their children’s needs, reduce the burden of adversity and foster healthy development in the process, according to the medical center. “The protective factors framework, championed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy, focuses on building resilience in families to modify the impact of adverse childhood experiences and support family environments that promote healthy development,” said Dworkin. Ensuring children’s optimal healthy development requires a comprehensive system that engages parents and an array of

community partners, she said. The grant will allow the medical center to put into effect the ‘protective factors framework’ throughout the “Help Me Grow” national affiliate network, a statewide program of the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood that helps families with children at risk for developmental or behavioral problems find local support and services through a central call center. With support from the “Help Me Grow” National Center located at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, more than 25 states and territories are replicating the program, according to the medical center. In collaboration with the Center for the Study of Social Policy, the medical center’s office for community child health will develop and customize tools, such as surveys and databases, to apply the Protective Factors Framework in program design and evaluation, and will provide training and targeted technical assistance to the “Help Me Grow” affiliates, among other activities. The funding will also fuel development

of an interactive data tool that maps affiliates’ progress in addressing and strengthening protective factors, while providing realtime data analytics to help affiliates continually improve quality as they move forward. “Children’s health has the best chance to flourish when all of the community’s resources — whether it’s family involvement or medical care — are coming together at the right time and in the right ways,” said Garth Graham, president of the Aetna Foundation. “This innovative program offers a structure for aligning these resources in ways that amplify their impact, and it can be used across the country to help improve health for children who face significant social and economic hurdles.” “We are grateful to the Aetna Foundation for supporting this initiative,” said Dworkin. “Their support will help strengthen childhood development services at (“Help Me Grow”) affiliates across the country and, in doing so, will provide positive outcomes for thousands of vulnerable children and their families.”

thing we have experienced in any time in recent history going all the way back to the Great Depression,” he said. “It is time to figure out that we are not going to see the kind of growth many of us would like to see and therefore it is time to adjust to a new economic reality – one of slow growth that is not going to produce the kinds of increases in income that we are used to having seen in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and parts of the beginning of the last decade.” Malloy was pressed on the current condition of the state by one resident who accused him of pushing service cuts, layoffs and “other destructive proposals” instead of asking “millionaires and billionaires to sacrifice a little more to make the economy work for everyone.” “I am not pushing anything except reality,” Malloy responded. “We have raised taxes on our citizenry and I think we are at a point where we will be at a competitive disadvantage if we continue that practice, which is a way of saying it could be far more destructive to our long term growth potential if we go back to the well too often, and I think this occasion would be too often.” Malloy twice asked the room if anyone would be willing to pay more in taxes, to which only one or two hands raised in response. Carolyn Goldenberg, a second-generation Stamford resident, also emphasized concern for the condition of the state, noting both Stamford’s commercial vacancy rate that has been in excess of 20 percent and the state’s growing reputation for an exodus of business of youth. “Companies are leaving,” she said. “Household incomes are declining. Our middle class is migrating and our children are leaving Connecticut – not to come back – for better opportunities elsewhere.” Malloy said he did not know where to begin as he listed a series of contradictory points to tout the state’s progress including an influx of companies such as NBC Sports and the close to 1,000 jobs it has brought to Stamford in addition to successes like Synchrony Financial. He added that Stamford’s commercial occupancy rate actually decreased in 2015,

despite the changing needs of commercial real estate tenants, and that Metro-North ridership, specifically inbound to Stamford, has seen some of largest increases in recent memory. “So I am not nearly as negative as you are,” he responded. “And I’ll say that in a state where we have seen 80,00 jobs created in the last five years, 100,000 jobs created in the last six. years.” He drew particular attention to the raft of bad publicity General Electric’s planned departure from Farfield has drawn, overshadowing positive news. “People make a big deal out of the fact that GE is moving 250 jobs from Fairfield to Boston, but completely ignore the fact that we kept United Technologies and Pratt & Whitney and Sikorsky, representing 24,000 jobs in the state,” he said. “You are going to have some wins and some losses, but a lot of those losses will be caused if we don’t make the kinds of investments in the future: in transportation and education and infrastructure, in cleaning up our cities and our brownfields.”

Malloy repeatedly defended his dedication to transportation and infrastructure improvements despite the burden on taxpayers. “We may have some disagreements in the room about whose ox gets gored for what reason, but people in Connecticut want to see that their state is getting better,” he said. “We can’t give away the position we have right now, if we want to compete with northern New Jersey and Westchester County to get New York jobs.” One service cut repeatedly brought up by members of the audience was the $750,000 in funding the nonprofit agency Kids in Crisis would be losing to help support its mission of providing counseling and temporary shelter for children in need. “I think that it is extremely awful that they took away 40 percent of their budget, you are only hurting the kids,” said 10 yearold Sami Goldman of Greenwich. “These kids are scared and lonely and have nowhere to go. Please reconsider giving them the money that you took away.” As with each question, Malloy defended

his budget proposals, in this case stating that the state had chosen a nationally recognized better course of action for dealing with distressed children by placing them with family members rather than third party operated facilities. “Long-term or even a mid-term placement in a congregate facility is not in the best interest of the young person,” he said. “We have better outcomes by placing children with a family member and that is what we are going to pursue.” Malloy ended the forum by pointing to key economic indicators such as the price of gasoline, natural gas and copper as signs of a changing national and global economy before concluding to applause. “We are going to have to make some level of sacrifice mutually, together,” he said. “I’m an imperfect governor. I’m an imperfect messenger. I’m imperfect in many different ways, but I’m working really hard to find the right balance. I don’t believe the right balance includes raising taxes at this time.”

At Wilmington Trust, our team has analyzed markets and economies through one-year and decade-long lenses. In our Capital Markets Forecast, we examine three trends we see developing, and explore how obstacles can also point to a raft of comparatively robust investment opportunities. Where are we now? Short term, we see a continuation of the United States’ economic leadership, with employment, wage, spending, and business investment growth all promising. Still, bloated debt levels and easing growth weigh heavily, and we expect another recession within the next five years. We envision it as shallower than the recent post-crisis downturn with, hopefully, a quicker recovery. Demographics is destiny. Long term, we expect the tables to turn, and we see the world’s leading economy at risk of becoming overdeveloped. Root causes include structural decelerations or even declines in key long-term determinants of growth, such as labor force growth, capital investment, and productivity expansion. Over the next 10 years, we expect labor force growth to continue the trend of deceleration, due

to slowing population growth, the aging of the existing labor force, and reduced labor force participation. our Projection oF a

2.25% groWth oF the u.s. economy Will decline With sloWs in laBor Force groWth

Other trends on the horizon. We see income likely to reign supreme as investor focus shifts from capital appreciation to interest and dividend income. We also see nontraditional income sources becoming more relevant. The reemergence of emerging markets is projected, with new economy stocks gradually achieving greater prominence as old-economy stocks give way.

can be better?” he said. “Our slogan is ‘show by doing’ and they nailed it.” Across the bank’s seven Fairfield County branches, single New Haven County branch and two locations in Bedford and Scarsdale in Westchester County, N.Y., a total 95 employees were given the shares of stock, which at the time of the award was trading at approximately $15 a share for a total value of $142,500. “I think it has invigorated everybody,” said bank President and CEO Kenneth Neilson. “Everybody feels more responsible. People are energized — they feel good about the company they work for. “Now when Patriot Bank customers come into one of their branches for either service or guidance they will receive financial advice from employees who are stockholders in their local community bank and are really incentivized to exceed their customer’s expectations,” he said. “I don’t know of any other banks that have done this.” Johnson said the award was presented to the staff as a surprise and has been well received. “I know I and my staff both felt just incredibly proud that the company wanted to invest in us and give us a chance to pay that investment back by helping the company do better,” he said. “Talk about empowerment. Hey, here is a piece of the steering wheel; you are part of what is driving this company.” According to Neilson, there are no current discussions to increase stock allotments and new hires are not included, but “if the incentive program works the way we believe it will work it will probably make sense for us to do more of this in the future,” he said. The stock award was also a thanks from the company’s management team and board of directors for past success, Neilson said. In fall 2015, investment banking and advisory firm Sandler O’Neill + Partners named Patriot one of the nation’s top performing small-cap banks. It was the only bank in New England to receive this designation among 435 publicly traded U.S. banks and thrifts evaluated across the U.S. According to Neilson, the bank currently manages approximately $623.9 million in assets with $421.2 million in deposits. “I have been with Patriot since day one and the people here are like family to me,” said Stamford-based banker Carmen Estevez who joined Patriot in 1994. “I am very happy that all employees now own a little piece of the place they work and spend most of their day.”

CEO Evolution: Big Decisions and the Inner Circle

eorge, the chief marketing officer of a company that distributes highend tree-care equipment through a large dealer network, just sat through an executive committee meeting and was discouraged. Karen, the CEO had just presented the case for acquiring a competitor whose products are sold through big-box retailers. The presentation included research from the CFO and vice president of sales, after which Karen concluded with, “Any questions or concerns before we proceed?” George knows the acquisition is a sound idea. But he can also see that it means distancing the company from its strong customer value proposition and from years of advertising that has stressed the expertise of those dealers. “That’s the way it always is,” George thought. “Karen and a couple of others make the big calls in private and the rest of us find out after the decision has been made. Why bother to have an executive committee if all we do is rubber stamp the big decisions?”

An informal inner circle creates a flexible situation for the CEO with minimal downside.

The above example of decision-making occurs in organizations of all types and sizes. Alexander the Great had Aristotle, FDR had Harry Hopkins and Bill Gates had Steve Ballmer. While CEOs have executive committees and boards of directors, most seek the advice of a less formal, inner circle when making big decisions. Why? Teams in general are unwieldy vehicles for making difficult decisions. Tapping into an executive committee to provide information that forms the basis of a decision is invaluable, but pulling the entire team through a complex decision-making process, which often involves changing information, multiple meetings and a fast time line is difficult. In addition, the team could have members with conflicting roles. Executive committee members are often

Mark Fagan

heads of divisions or have departmental responsibilities that may be adversely affected by the decision. Another problem occurs when C-suite executives are unable to think strategically, at a company level. Members of a management team or executive committee often rise to their positions of influence because they excel at creating high-performing teams in their field of expertise. This can cause their view to be more parochial and often leads to discussions against moving forward with a plan because of the tactical obstacles the plan may present. What tends to happen is a CEO will, over

time, gravitate to the people with more valuable views, often found inside and outside the company. An informal inner circle creates a flexible situation for the CEO with minimal downside because: a) its members can change depending on the talent needs of the CEO; b) it is not on any corporate organization chart, so employees can’t lobby for inclusion; c) it can be filled with people outside the organization, who have no stake in the decision’s outcome; and d) it leaves the executive committee’s time to be used more effectively. » CEO, page 11

CEO — » » From page 9

It’s the responsibility of the CEO to find smart, experienced people to help. That though, is not an easy task. “During five years of research I spoke with dozens of leading CEOs, and an equal number of top managers, about their closest, most trusted advisers,” wrote adviser Andrew Sobel in “Who Advises a CEO?” on the website AndrewSobel.com. “The results were surprising. Most of us would assume that CEOs have access to the best advisers in the world and regularly profit from their wise counsel – yet many corporate leaders professed great difficulty and frustration in finding truly objective individuals to help them resolve their most important issues.” Research shows that boards of directors now function less as an advisory role, and more as a shareholder advocate and therefore may not be the best choice when seeking advice. Utilizing the right members of your management or executive team will provide insight that others outside the organization will not have. These people know your business, employees and customer’s best. Look to include members who are nay-sayers and pessimists and who are willing to point out f laws in the

CEO’s logic. But, there are parts of a decision that even the most objective and informed employee may not be the right one for a CEO to seek council. “Jim Robbins, president and CEO of Cox Communications, summed it up when he told us, the adviser has to come from outside your organization. It is not a good practice to divulge all to a guy who reports to you. You sacrifice an important element of your leadership,” Sobel said. So, a good recipe for making a big decision will be to include persons both inside and outside the organization who can think strategically and who are willing to disagree with the CEO. But after all the analysis is made, advice is heard, thoughts are absorbed and discussed, it’s the CEO who has to make the big decision. Mark L.

Danbury Farmers' Market gets grant, aims higher BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

he Danbury Farmers’ Market Community Collaborative has received a grant of $27,133 from the state Department of Agriculture’s farm viability grant program in support of a multipronged goal to increase consumer participation and vendor sales at the market by at least 25 percent in 2016. In partnership with CityCenter Danbury, the collaborative consists of more than 30 community leaders who share the goal of fostering downtown Danbury’s economic development and agricultural viability by providing equitable access to fresh food for all. Farm viability grants are aimed “at helping municipalities and agricultural nonprofits create infrastructure that sustains and enhances agriculture in their communities with the help of matching grants,” according to the Danbury collaborative. “As we approach our seventh season, getting the word out to the Danbury region that the Danbury Farmers’ Market has sprouted new energy and vibrancy is a critical piece of our marketing strategy,” said Peggy Zamore, nutritionist and coordinator

of the market. “The success of the next 10 years rides on the success of promoting this growth and this grant makes that possible.” Recently awarded to more than a dozen municipalities and nonprofit organizations across the state, the farm viability grant supports improvements to farmers markets

number of ways,” Department of Agriculture Commissioner Steven K. Reviczky said. With the move from Fridays to Saturdays, organizers expect an increase in the number of vendors, while improving the merchant mix. Additionally, the market is aiming to create a new stream

and their promotion, expansion of school and community gardens, preservation of farmland; the installation of composting facilities and other unspecified enhancement programs. “Over the years, this grant program has been very successful in helping our cities and towns accomplish projects that support farming, growing healthy food and connecting residents with agriculture in a

COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL LENDING

of customers, adding to the existing customers who have supported the market over the years. With increased numbers of nearby shoppers, the market will be able to offer such products as cheese, breads, poultry and other value-added products, while continuing its highly successful nutritionin-action program, which is titled “Better Health Through Better Food.” That program serves recipients by doubling the

value of their government food assistance at the market. Based on a successful pilot program this past season, community buzz will be created through a mix of strategies, including print ads with coupons, online ads, monthly market promotional giveaways, bus ads and direct marketing to potential new cash/credit and nutrition benefit shoppers. An element of fun is also planned with Market Madness, special promotion days with market-branded giveaways. The Danbury Farmers’ Market will open June 25 and run every Saturday through Oct. 29. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The market’s nonprofit partner, CityCenter Danbury, is a taxing district “that works to meet, sustain and surpass the four principals of organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring under the national Main Street program.” It is supported through assessments by CityCenter property owners within the district. In its statement, the market said, “CityCenter is only one of five downtown improvement districts in Connecticut recognized by the Connecticut Main Street Center and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.”

Greenwich Hospital earns breast cancer accreditation FACILITY IS ONE OF A DOZEN NATIONALLY TO HELP DEVELOP PROGRAM

he Breast Center at Greenwich Hospital has received a three-year, full accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers for meeting high standards for treating breast disease. “This accreditation is a reflection of our commitment to our patients and our community to offer every significant advantage in the fight against breast disease,” said Dr. Barbara Ward, medical director of the Breast Center at Greenwich Hospital and a breast surgeon. “Our patients receive quality breast care close to home, provided by a multidisciplinary team that works together to coordinate care and identify the best treatment options,” she said. “That’s one of the reasons survival rates for patients treated for cancer at the Breast Center exceed the national average.” As part of the Smilow Cancer Hospital Greenwich Hospital campus, the Breast

Center offers state-of-the-art services from detection and treatment through recovery. Services include three-dimensional mammography, surgical options such as interoperative radiation therapy, ongoing clinical trials, patient and family support groups, and survivorship programs. Greenwich Hospital served as one of 12 pilot survey sites in the country when the NAPBC was developing its national program. Accreditation by the NAPBC is only given to centers that commit to providing the highest level of quality breast care and undergo a rigorous evaluation and review process. The recent accreditation is the fourth time the hospital has successfully completed the NAPBC accrediting survey. During the survey process for accreditation, a center must demonstrate compliance with standards established by the NAPBC for treating women who are diagnosed with the full spectrum of breast disease. — Bill Fallon

PMG LLP, the international audit, tax and advisory firm with regional offices in Stamford and New York City, recently issued findings in the arena of autonomous cars and found the coming technology could bring an 80 percent potential reduction in accident frequency by 2040. “This will result in a potentially drastic reduction in loss costs and premiums,” KPMG said, but noted accident expense could increase from almost $14,000 currently to roughly $35,000. A KPMG executive used the term “significant turmoil” to describe the future, with “business models flipped upside down.” Autonomous cars under the Google logo long ago crossed the million-miles-logged mark. In January, Apple registered the domain name Apple.Car.com. The blogosphere has the computer giant turning out cars that may or may not be autonomous by 2019. Apple, web sources say, is upping engineers on the project from the current 600 to 1,800 for the jobs needed. KPMG said those cars will face a new insurance landscape, with 94 percent of

industry survey respondents saying actual policy coverage will change; 52 percent saying property coverage will change; and 71 percent expecting coverage to change reflecting costlier vehicle parts replacement. KPMG among the same data in its fall 2015 “Autonomous Vehicles Survey Report,” also found competition for policies is expected to “rev up,” as it said, with niche writers handling 42 percent of the market, new providers filling 39 percent of the market and consolidation in store for 29 percent of providers. A KPMG spokesman said the data were rechecked and the findings remained valid as of Feb. 16. In a second KPMG report, titled “Marketplace of Change: Automobile Insurance in the Era of Autonomous Vehicles,” KPMG said, “A decline in accident frequency due to safer vehicles and the adoption of autonomous vehicles could shrink the U.S. personal auto insurance sector by 60 percent within 25 years.” “Autonomous vehicles are poised to completely transform the auto insurance industry and underlying market forces, including technology enablement, consumer adoption, and regulatory permission, are already aligning to enable mass change,” said Jerry Albright, principal in KPMG’s actuarial and

insurance risk practice. “The risk profile of vehicles is changing daily and the subsequent drop in industry loss costs would reduce the size of the auto insurance market, trigger consolidation in the personal lines space, attract new competitors and force dramatic operational changes within carriers.” And Albright said that nearly accidentfree vehicles could be here before autonomous vehicles. “While a shift in business strategy could take years, insurers must act now to differentiate themselves and gain a first-mover advantage,” he said. As the size of the automobile insurance pie shrinks, the allocation of the slices across personal auto, commercial auto and products liability could also change, according to KPMG’s analysis. “Commercial lines could take a larger share, as the marketplace moves toward car sharing and mobility on demand services,” said Alex Bell, managing director in KPMG’s CIO Advisory practice. “As the vehicle makes more decisions, the potential liability of the software developer and manufacturer will increase too. In addition, losses covered by product liability policies will most likely increase because the sophisticated technology that underpins driverless vehicles will also need to be insured.”

Said Chris Nyce, principal in KPMG’s actuarial and insurance risk practice, “The personal auto lines sector will likely bear the brunt of the transformation, as it will hold a smaller share of a smaller market. By 2040, we believe this sector will cover less than $50 billion in loss costs in nominal dollars, compared with the current $125 billion, with premiums moving nearly proportional. The shrinkage in real terms may be even greater.” KPMG said it anticipates “severe implications of a contracting premium environment,” especially since, as it said, “the insurance industry as a whole has not generated an underwriting profit in personal or commercial auto for several years in a ‘normal’ market environment.” Joe Schneider, managing director at KPMG Corporate Finance LLC, said the continued proliferation of automated vehicles will put strain on carriers. “Many insurers don’t have a profitability cushion to erode and lack the structural agility to shed costs quickly in an environment of rapid change,” Schneider said. “Once the massive market disruption begins and traditional insurance business models are flipped upside down, we expect significant turmoil across the industry.”

Builder crosses border to make captive insurance company BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

midsize company known for its specialty concrete work throughout the greater New York City metropolitan area, RC Structures of Syosset, is opening a captive insurance entity in Connecticut, bringing the state’s captive market to 10 licensed insurers.

The company cited controlling costs as the factor driving the move. A captive insurer is an insurance company organized and owned by a parent company to manage owner’s risks and control insurance costs. According to the state Department of Insurance, “Once an alternative to the commercial insurance market, captives have evolved into strategic financial vehicles used for many different enterprises, such as man-

ufacturing and health care.” Insurance Commissioner Katharine L. Wade made the announcement. The new captive is to be called RCX Insurance Co. “RC Structures could have chosen nearly 40 others states to establish their captive business but the specialized workforce here in the insurance capital and the department’s regulatory expertise made Connecticut the perfect fit,” Wade said. “When a company establishes a captive it is essentially creating its very own insurance company that helps manage risk and control insurance costs.” “The department works with businesses of all disciplines and sizes to help control costs through the creation of captives that are well managed and sustainable,” said Janet Grace, program manager for the department’s Captive Insurance Division. “Our consultative approach to helping firms explore and license captives as part of strategic risk management is attracting businesses both in and outside Connecticut to domicile their captive here.” Jason Giessel, owner of RC Structures, praised the department’s thoroughness and efficiency in handling his company’s application. “The speed at which they responded and the insightful questions the department asked convinced us that we made the right decision in choosing Connecticut,” Giessel said. “As a result of the expert collaboration from the department, I feel very confident

that our captive insurer will be a very effective management tool for our entire operation allowing us to remain competitive and grow our business.” The department’s Captive Division was formed as a result of Gov. Dannel Malloy’s 2011 legislation and passage by the General Assembly. In a statement, the Insurance Department said the law “strengthened the state’s outdated captive insurance law.” Speaking in a joint statement released by the Insurance Department, state Sen. Joseph Crisco, D-Woodbridge, and state Rep. Robert Megna, D-New Haven, co-chairmen of the legislature’s Insurance and Real Estate Committee, said, “Connecticut has the optimal workforce and insurance knowhow to continue to grow this segment of the economy and keep Connecticut competitive. Ensuring that our statutes keep pace and provide the latest in regulatory tools is of paramount importance. We are committed to making certain that policymaking reflects that. That’s why the legislature introduced and approved captive insurance.” The Connecticut Insurance Department recovers an average of $4 million yearly on behalf of consumers and regulates the industry by ensuring carriers adhere to state insurance laws and regulations and are financially solvent to pay claims. Its annual budget is funded through assessments from the insurance industry.

Towns receive infrastructure grants

s part of the state’s Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) to assist smaller communities with infrastructure and capital improvement projects, the state has granted $6.3 million in grant funds to 15 small communities around the state, with nearly a third of the funds to be distributed to five municipalities in Fairfield County. As announced by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy earlier this month, Brookfield, Greenwich, Newtown, New Fairfield and Trumbull will receive slightly more than $2 million in grant funds. “By partnering with our smaller towns, we can support local projects that improve centers of commerce, transportation infrastructure, and town facilities, to make our state stronger and more com-

petitive, all while improving quality of life,” Malloy said. Brookfield, Newtown and New Fairfield will receive the largest shares at approximately $500,000 each. The funds are to be used for streetscape and infrastructure improvements at Fairfield Hills in Newtown and the retail and business centers of downtown New Fairfield. The grants will also support improved access for bicyclists and pedestrians at Brookfield Four Corners in Brookfield. Trumbull was approved for $299,000 to support infrastructure improvements to the Kennedy Center, while the Greenwich YWCA will receive $246,096 for capital infrastructure projects. — Reece Alvarez

Why The Arts Matter, Now More Than Ever Say “the arts in Connecticut” and what comes to your mind? Perhaps the Hartford Symphony or New Haven’s Long Wharf Theatre or maybe the Bruce Museum in Greenwich. But in this state of arts treasures it’s an easy question. There’s so much to choose from, especially among landmark institutions, which have high profiles and are well-known far beyond the borders of our state. But perhaps you’re not passionate about classical music, theater, literary or visual art. Why should the arts matter to you? The answer is the arts affect every facet of our lives, sometimes in quiet ways. What also may get overlooked is the tremendous economic impact the arts have in Connecticut, creating jobs, attracting tourists and adding to the quality of life that supports business growth for our towns and cities. One of the reasons why the Office of the Arts is now part of the Department of Economic and Community Development is because of the positive economic impact of the arts on communities across that state. Our nonprofit arts and cultural sector are a $653 million industry — one that supports more than 18,000 full-time jobs and generates $59.1 million in local and state government revenue. We will be shining a spotlight on the many ways the arts affect our lives at the state capitol on Wednesday, March 2, for Connecticut Arts Day. The day will feature and celebrate creative voices from across the state and nation such as Titus Kaphar, a New Haven artist commissioned by Time magazine to create its cover artwork following protests in Ferguson, Mo.; Jay Dick, senior director of state and government affairs at Americans for the Arts; and our keynote speaker Theo Edmonds, co-founder of IDEAS xLab — a catalytic organization run by artists and art professionals working at the nexus of cultural production, social investigation and marketplace from Louisville, Ky. Among those sharing their enthusiasm for the arts from the business community are Robert Santy, president and CEO of the Connecticut Economic Resource Center and Joe Brennan, president and CEO of CBIA. I invite you to join us at the capitol Wednesday, March 2, to celebrate the many ways the arts do indeed matter to us all. Kristina Newman-Scott is director of culture in the Department of Economic and Community Development where she oversees the Connecticut Office of the Arts and the State Historic Preservation Office.

The mission of the Cultural Alliance of Fairﬁeld County is to support cultural organizations, artists and creative businesses by providing promotion, services and advocacy.

DAC Stage Announces ‘Shakespeare and the Heart’s Desire’ At a time when American politics are playing out on stage, the Darien Arts Center is bringing audiences back to the politics and intrigue of the Elizabethan period. “Shakespeare and the Heart’s Desire,” a play written by Mary Jane Schaefer, and the third part of Schaefer’s trilogy based on the life of Shakespeare, is being brought to life in a one-night staged reading at the Darien Arts Center. DAC Stage is delighted to welcome back Mark Graham to direct this stunning tale of intrigue Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. Graham previously directed the successful DAC production of “God of Carnage,” which garnered rave reviews, and delighted audiences. In “Shakespeare and the Heart’s Desire,” Mary Jane Schaefer explores the backstory and little known life of Shakespeare, the man, his love and his politics. We get a peek at power and magic hidden in the plays of William Shakespeare, which were strong enough to shake the foundations of the British monarchy, to incite riots and inspire a revolution. Schaefer’s previous works have received critical acclaim with the ﬁrst of the series honored by the New American Playwrights Project and produced at the Utah Shakespeare Festival in 2014. Both were performed at Manhattan’s prestigious National Arts

Club, the former home of actor Edwin Booth at Gramercy Park. Reservations are not necessary for the performance, which has a suggested donation of $10. The DAC is at 2 Renshaw Road, behind the Darien Town Hall. For more information, visit darienarts.org or call 203-655-8683.
