You earn what? STATE MOVES TO LIFT VEIL OF WAGE SECRECY
BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com
TRANSPARENT LIVING
wPAGE 4
TO SOME, NEW LEGISLATION THAT allows employees to discuss wages in the workplace is a positive step toward reducing the gender wage gap. To others it’s an unnecessary mandate. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed the bill, which halts “pay secrecy” — a rule at some companies that prohibits workers from talking about their salaries. “It’s a practice that ultimately perpetuates income discrimination and allows the gender wage gap to persist,” Malloy said in a press release. “Women deserve the same pay for the same work — it’s that simple.” The legislation does not require employees or employers to disclose wages, but makes it illegal for companies to pun-
ish those who wish to do so. The bill was approved in the House of Representatives and in the Senate this month and awaits Malloy’s signature. Malloy created a Gender Wage Gap Task Force in 2013 that said more than 60 percent of employees in the private sector were either prohibited or discouraged from discussing pay with their colleagues, citing a 2011 report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. The report also said full-time female workers earn an average 22 percent to 24 percent less than men. “Put another way, on average, a woman in Connecticut earns only 75.8 to 78 cents for every dollar a man earns,” the report said. The pay gap can narrow to about 5 percent to 10 percent

Stamford ups ‘2030’ reuse and resiliency push MAJOR PLAYERS SIGN ON TO GIRD FOR STORMS AND GO GREEN
BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com STAMFORD, THE CITY THAT WORKS, got a boost recently toward its plans to be the city that works in ways that are sustainable and sturdy. The national Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities and the New Haven-based Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation contributed $75,000 each — $150,000 — toward Stamford’s push to reduce water and energy use and to lower carbon emissions across a growing member base in its Stamford 2030 District, which dates to October. The award was one of eight issued nationally. The 2030 program also focuses on resiliency in the face of weather disasters, which have lost their abstractness regionally post-Superstorm Sandy.
Corporate representatives on hand included 2030 District advocates Henry A. Ashforth III, executive vice president of Stamford-based The Ashforth Co., and Andrea Pinabell, vice president for global sustainability and global citizenship for Stamford-based Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “Sustainability and resiliency are global issues,” said Ashforth, whose company is part of 2030’s “property owners and managers” cohort and who personally heads the city’s nearly 7-year-old Energy Improvement District. “We’re going to solve them locally. That’s what this partnership is all about.” Stamford Mayor David Martin hosted the event at the city’s Government Center on Washington Boulevard but quickly turned the meeting over to Megan Saunders, executive

Silvermine spotlights the region’s artistic wealth BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com
T
he Silvermine Arts Center is once again taking its visitors on quite a journey. To participate in this tour of sorts, one need only visit the New Canaan arts destination now through July 26. An exploration of the artistic wealth of the region – formally known as “Art of the Northeast” — recently opened for its 65th annual run. The signature competition/exhibition — one that both encourages an appreciation of the talent-rich region and touches on influences and trends — has a storied history. Founded by Silvermine Guild members Miriam Brody and Revington Arthur, the “New England Exhibition” has continued to expand since its debut in the middle of the last century. Now, some 500 artists from Maine to the Mid-Atlantic — both emerging and more established — vie each year for the chance to reach a wider audience as they showcase what they do best. Jeffrey Mueller, the gallery director at Silvermine, said there are a few things the show is not. “It’s not a thematic show,” he said. And it’s not devoted to one art form, as Mueller noted the show welcomes everything from traditional photography to avantgarde sculpture. “It’s the full gamut of possibilities,” he said. With such diversity, he added, it becomes all about “really engaging with the work.” Mueller said Silvermine reached out to numerous arts organizations and colleges throughout the region, leading to many

recent fine-arts graduates applying. That adds a fresh dynamic to the show, one that becomes the first major exhibition for many of these young artists. As Mueller noted, “It’s a way to see a lot of artists on the beginning of their journey.” Mueller said the show’s reputation is also
rooted in its approach. “As much as it’s a strong tradition for artists, it has a strong history for curators.” Past curators have included art critics, artists, directors of major museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the New Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Last year, New York-based critic and writer Andrew Russeth served as curator. “Each curator has their own voice,” Mueller said. “We allow that to become visible. The curator is a part of the process.” And that process, he said, is key to what he calls “that triad” – the relationship formed among artist, curator and, eventually, visitor. Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam, both Illinois-based artists, critics and teachers, curated this year’s “Art of the Northeast.” It marks the first time the Silvermine show has had co-curators (who happen to be husband and wife). Grabner is a professor in the painting
and drawing department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was one of three curators of last year’s Whitney Biennial. Mueller said Grabner’s experience with that international event “will give an interesting sort of counterpoint” to this year’s Silvermine show. Killam, a widely exhibited artist, teaches art at the College of DuPage in Illinois. Together, he and Grabner have established artist project spaces The Suburban in Oak Park, Ill., and The Poor Farm in Waupaca County, Wis. The curators’ selections are filling all three of the center’s galleries, showcasing some 60 artists (some of whom have been invited to show multiple works). As Mueller said, that element further distinguishes “Art of the Northeast.” “A lot of times when you see these opencall shows, it’s sort of a one-off. We give curators the freedom to select groupings of work.” With the hundreds of artists who traditionally apply for “Art of the Northeast,” Mueller said the goal remains to select artists who are showing a “mastery of their craft or telling an interesting story.” Among those chosen as finalists this year are Fairfield County artists Pam Ackley of New Canaan, Jocelyn Braxton Armstrong of Westport, Frances B. Ashforth of Ridgefield, Robert Carley of Darien, Betsy Davidson of Bethel, Katharine Draper of Norwalk, Leslie Giuliani of Weston, Henry Glavin of Darien, John Hafey of Fairfield, Dan Makara of Redding, Lawrence McGarvey of Westport, Marlene Siff of Westport, Sofie Swann of Stamford, Lisa Thoren of Darien and Joan Zagrobelny of Newtown.

Pitney Bowes completes $395M Borderfree acquisition
P
itney Bowes Inc. has expanded its global e-commerce business with the recently completed acquisition of Borderfree Inc., a New York Citybased company that helps retailers reach customers in other countries. The Stamford-based global technology company on June 10 announced it purchased 30,775,882 shares, or 95 percent, of Borderfree’s outstanding stock for $14 per share in cash, which would amount to a $430 million deal. When initially announcing the acquisition in May, the company valued the transaction at $395 million, net of expected cash and investments on Borderfree’s balance sheet. Borderfree has become a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes and its common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq stock market. In 2005, Pitney Bowes acquired
Borderfree’s Clearpath Technology unit. Pitney Bowes in 2012 created an e-commerce business group to ease cross-border purchasing and shipping led by Craig Reed, who previously worked with Borderfree. The company on June 10 said it has formed a global e-commerce business unit that combines Borderfree with Pitney Bowes’ existing e-commerce business. Lila Snyder, who has been leading the integration of Borderfree into Pitney Bowes since the deal was announced in May, has
been named president of the unit, responsible for the company’s overall e-commerce business and strategy. Snyder previously served as the president of Pitney Bowes’ document messaging technologies. Marc B. Lautenbach, Pitney Bowes president and CEO, said Snyder is bringing the two complementary, cross-border businesses together, accelerating the company’s strategic vision to grow Pitney Bowes and its e-commerce business. — Danielle Brody

Redevelopment underway
M
ore mixed-use development is underway in Bridgeport’s Downtown North, creating additional retail and living space for residents. City officials announced the Security Building and two adjacent structures on Main Street will be converted into 66 artist lofts and ground-level retail/commercial space. Norwalk-based Spinnaker Real Estate Partners LLC will redevelop the three early 20th-century structures. Construction work has started at the vacant, approximately 88,000-square-foot Security Building at 1115 Main St. The second structure, 1103 Main St., is approximately 8,600 square feet and is used for office and retail space. The third property, an approximately 16,600-square-foot building, is vacant. Mayor Bill Finch said the redevelopment, along with other major projects in Downtown North, will create more than 150 new apartments as well as retail and commercial space. The old Mechanics & Farmers building has been redone, and the Jayson building at 179 Middle St. and the Newfield building at 1184 Main St. are being combined into one structure, the Jayson-Newfield Building. It will house 104 apartments and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. “These projects are creating jobs and quality housing and expanding our tax base,” Finch said in a statement. City officials said the projects could appeal to millennials living in the city. Downtown Bridgeport has the second-highest concentration of residents in their 20s in Fairfield County, with 19.5 percent, Finch said. — Danielle Brody

A
mid the large traditional country dwellings along a quiet residential street in New Canaan sits The Glass House, once the residence of its creator, architect Philip Johnson. With its airy, glass-enclosed exterior and open floor plan, the house and its 49-acre site — which Johnson thought of as part country home, part laboratory – draw about 14,000 visitors per year from near and far. And that’s fitting. “He liked to collect people, concepts and ideas,” said tour guide Laura Case, leading a group of visitors from Australia, Belgium, France and the U.S. on a recent afternoon. In 1943, Johnson graduated from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. He became part of what would be known as the Harvard Five, a group of modernist architects who built and lived in New Canaan in the 1940s and ’50s. But before settling in The Glass House, Johnson lived and worked in Manhattan, where he was the founding director of the Department of Architecture at The Museum of Modern Art in the early 1930s. Some of his work in Manhattan includes the AT&T Building (now Sony Plaza), the New York State Theater (now the David H. Koch Theater) at Lincoln Center and the Seagram Building and its Four Seasons Restaurant. He also designed, with John Burgee, Purchase College’s Neuberger Museum of Art. In New Canaan, Johnson bought five acres on Ponus Ridge Road in 1946 and began designing the 1,810-square-foot house, which was completed in 1949. From then until his death in 2005, he lived in the home, at first on weekends then year-round, a majority of the time with partner David Whitney, a

curator and art collector. Johnson called the property his “50-year diary,” to which he added acres of land, 14 buildings, art — and different people he met in the art world and on his travels. Johnson moved on from modernism after building the house, Case said. “He changed all the time,” Case said. “He got bored. He wanted to keep moving.” In 1986, Johnson bequeathed The Glass House to the Natural Trust for Historic Preservation, which opened it for tours in 2007. According to Case, the tours, which run from May to November, are usually full on weekends. For some it is the property, rather than the house itself, that stands out. Through the house’s glass walls sectioned by black painted steel, the one-room home almost disappears into the landscape, serving as a frame for the tall oak trees and valley in the foreground. Johnson meticulously landscaped the woods behind his house, clearing brush and having a pond built. On its edge, he created a pavilion, an experiment with concrete, scale and arches. On a hill behind the pond stands a 30-foot-tall “staircase to nowhere,” a memorial to his friend, Lincoln Kirstein, co-founder with George Balanchine of the New York City Ballet. The staircase has an element of “safe danger,” Case said. “He liked to keep people a little on edge,” Case said. Johnson also designed The pond and accompanying pavilion on the Glass House property.

sion in mind, she said. Visitors have to walk single-file over the narrow Eyebrow Bridge, inspired by his grandparents’ Ohio farm and designed to have a slight spring, which brings them to the painting gallery. It was built in the image of a bunker during the Cold War era and the ancient Greek “beehive” Tomb of Agamemnon. Johnson left specific instructions never to power-wash the hand-stippled, red sandstone exterior, Case said. He also purposely did not fill the gallery with too many paintings, because even he suffered from “museum fatigue,” she added. The large canvases rotate, showing Johnson’s affinity for collecting and variety. Today the property is alive with new art, entertainment and parties. The space hosts photo shoots as well as exhibits and performances, recently for J.Crew and Tod’s, said Christa Carr, communications director. People can rent the space for dinner parties, bar mitzvahs and weddings. For $30,000, two guests can sleep in the home and host a dinner for 10, she said. Regular visits generally range from $25 to $250, depending on the type of tour.

WILMINGTON TRUST RENOWNED INSIGHT
“Families are evolving. Is your estate plan?”
Sharon Klein Managing Director of Family Office Services and Wealth Strategies Sharon uses her vast knowledge of complex estate planning and trust laws to help clients address even the most complex subjects and to create solid strategies.

Most laws regarding how estates are handled are designed with a traditional nuclear family in mind – a husband, wife, and biological children. Today, however, fewer than half of all U.S. households meet this traditional definition. And that trend is likely to continue as same-sex marriage becomes legal in more and more states, and as divorce and remarriage remain common. New inheritance questions. It’s not simply about traditional versus non-traditional families. Rapid advances in reproductive technology are creating once unimaginable questions regarding inheritance rights. And this issue has given rise to a new legal territory: posthumous birth laws. How should children conceived with stored genetic material after the death of one or both of the genetic parents be treated regarding inheritance? A complicated topic, indeed. Consideration for pets. Furthermore, the concept of family for some extends to pets as well. A few states have even enacted estate planning laws regarding these four-legged family members. For instance, the growing demand of pet owners to be buried with
their pets has caused two states to permit this practice. While many states do not currently address this issue, that’s likely to change.

when controlled for other factors like education, union membership and training. Whether the legislation will help women, or if pay secrecy is a women’s issue at all, is debatable in the business and law communities. Bonnie Stewart, vice president of government affairs and general counsel for the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, said discrepancies in wages could have nothing to do with gender but could differ because of seniority, experience or specific roles. She said it’s difficult to compare compensation at a company. The legislation could have an adverse affect for employees, Stewart said. For the most part, she said disgruntled employees will be the ones to ask about wages. “It can give people a license to gossip and that is a problem,” Stewart said. “Most people don’t want other people talking about their wages in the workplace.”
Yet employment and civil rights lawyer Nina Pirrotti, a partner at New Havenbased Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Richardson, Fitzgerald & Pirrotti p.c. and the president of the Connecticut Employment Lawyers Association, said the law could reverse the taboo of talking about salary and allow those discussions to happen, which could help women. She said if a woman suspects she is being paid less, in order to make a complaint, she needs to prove that males in comparable positions are earning more money. “I see it as a very positive measure to maximize the chances that women will have the knowledge they need in order to be able to recognize that they have a claim and be in a position to pursue it,” Pirrotti said. “Plenty of employees have a good hunch that their male counterparts are making more, but a hunch is not good enough.” In Pirrotti’s experience, she has seen discussing wages discouraged more than banned outright. She said this policy probably exists to prevent employees from knowing each others’ salaries and competitiveness that could ensue.

for the Environment, Connecticut Green Bank, Downtown Stamford Special Services District, Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University, Interfaith Council of Southwestern Connecticut, SoundWaters Inc., Sustainable America and The Business Council of Fairfield County, with Chris Bruhl, its CEO/ president, in attendance. Others in attendance included Tremaine Foundation President Michelle Knapik; Ann Fowler Wallace, Boston-based director of programs for the Florida-based Funders’ Network; Donald Strait, president of the Connecticut Fund for the Environment in New Haven; and the fund’s director of development, Karen Baar. Rey Giallongo, chairman and CEO of First County Bank and also chairman of The Business Council of Fairfield County, praised Ashforth’s efforts. “This is also about competitiveness,” Giallongo said. “Hank is doing a tremendous job. And Megan (Saunders) will help push this along.” Wallace said involvement of The Business
Council of Fairfield County and others was critical to awarding the money. “We took notice,” she said. “We’re excited to help Stamford establish its ambitious goals in the commercial sector.” The funding came through the Funders’ Network Partners for Places program, with a total $520,850 going to the eight community winners. Stamford’s grant was from the program’s sixth round of funding. The program dates to May 2012, when it awarded its first grants totaling $250,000. “This has really picked up momentum thanks to Megan (Saunders),” said Strait. “These grants allow us to capitalize on that momentum.” “There is a new model emerging and Stamford is not keeping pace,” Martin said, thanking the assembled stakeholders. “The world is changing too fast. Now, if you fell asleep for four, five, six years, you’d be a century behind.” And to the business community he said, “If you can help out — despite our knowledge — we need to go forward and we still need your help.”
“It’s important to have that dialogue to figure it out,” Pirrotti said. “I think they don’t want the pot to be stirred.” She said she does not foresee an immediate change in the workplace because of the law, but said it could have an intangible impact on the work atmosphere and could encourage companies to think twice before paying a woman less. If an employee suspects he or she has an unfair wage discrepancy, the first step is to ask his or her counterparts, Pirrotti said. “It’s difficult for anyone to do, but perhaps with legislation coming through it might make such a conversation more comfortable,” she said. Stewart said she does not see this law doing any more to help women than the antidiscrimination laws that already exist. “I do not believe it would improve the plight of women at all,” she said. “I think there are laws on the books that do that. I think this can create other problems not intended, easily seen by human resources professionals.” Carolyn Treiss, executive director of the
Permanent Commission on the Status of Women, said the bill is a “big win for women” and recognizes that employees have the right to voluntarily disclose their wages. “Of course, it won’t eradicate genderbased wage discrimination, but it’s an important first step for our state,” Treiss said. “This will help women determine whether or not they’re being discriminated against because of their gender. And companies that pay women equally for equal work have nothing to lose or fear from this bill’s passage.” Paul Timpanelli, president and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council, said while the wage gap exists and is unfair, this legislation is not the solution. Business owners should see that women have the same value as men, he said. Tacking on more legal requirements to businesses is a burden that keeps them from prospering, Timpanelli said. “Pay secrecy is not an issue,” he said. “If it is an issue within an individual business then the people that run that individual business should have the smarts to deal with it.”
ASK ANDI
BY ANDI GRAY
Experiment often to keep your business fresh I’m hesitating to jump on a new business opportunity – will it be a distraction or a serious opportunity? Will it lead to profits and more customers in the future, or will it be a bust? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Every business needs new opportunity to keep it from getting stale. The trick is figuring out the risks you’ll be taking and comparing them to the likely payoff. Put aside a budget to experiment. Don’t be afraid to walk away if it’s not likely to pan out. Have a number of experiments going every year. Try thinking in three- to 10-year horizons. A steady flow of new business ideas is essential to keep any business fresh. Some will work, some won’t, some will turn into other ideas and some will get tossed. Set aside part of every week to work on the future of your business. In order to better evaluate risk and payoff on each idea, consider the following: • How much will I need to put in to find out if the idea has merit? • Can I repurpose the opportunity if it doesn’t go as expected? • Is the idea far out, or very similar to other ideas that have worked? • How long will it take to pay off? • Are there investment funds available to try out the concept? • How much of the outcome depends on variables I can or can’t control? • Is there an established marketplace need? • Is someone available who can be freed up to take charge of this project? • What barriers to entry exist, to keep me out and to keep out the next player? • Do we know anything about this? • How strong is the competition? • If I’m buying an up-and-running product or service, is the company I’m buying from making a profit? Why or why not? Write out an answer to each question, and then score each answer from 1 to 4 (1 = high risk, 4 = low risk). Add up your scores and divide by the number of questions to come up with an average. The lower your average score, the riskier the proposition. Below 2.5, the risks increase significantly. Be careful. Once you’ve decided to pursue an idea, figure out the cost to explore and turn it into a revenue and profit generator. Think in phases: investigation, building the concept, launching, promoting, getting into regular production, breaking even and making a profit.
Start with a small project in order to get some experience. Line up outside resources who can help when you need it. Build a team of marketers who can take you from initial concept to online testing and then full-blown promotion. You’ll need help with planning and analysis, market research, marketing concept, social media, copy writing and the marketing campaign. Understand what sunk cost is. If you put money in and all evidence says that it’s not going to work, call it a failure and walk away. The money you put in isn’t going to turn into a return. It’s gone. That’s sunk cost. Know when to stop pouring more money in and move on to try something else. While not every idea is going to work, all you need are one or two good ones to shape
the future of your business. Part of your job as owner is to keep your eyes and ears open for new things to try, to keep your business fresh. It’s generally easier and less risky to buy a proven concept than it is to start from scratch. Keep a list of possibilities and periodically pick one to try. Based on budget and available resources, you can probably take a preliminary look at two to four new things every year. Some years may be more fruitful than others when it comes to experimenting with new ideas. Try to have a roster of several ideas you could pursue if the time is right. Set a goal to launch one or more new business ideas every couple of years. How fresh or aged is your business? Use that evaluation to determine how many

Lessons in art appreciation and investment
W
e can all appreciate art, but not all art can appreciate. Anyone who has followed the Connecticut Art Trail knows that in our state there is much to observe. The trail promotes 18 worldclass museums and historic sites, several of which are found in Fairfield County. These include Bruce Museum’s exhibition of fine art in Greenwich, the yearround sculpture walk at the Silvermine Arts Center in New Canaan, the multimedia studio in Norwalk’s Center for Contemporary Printmaking and Weir Farm’s only National Park Service site dedicated to American painting, which all showcase works that may cause art collectors to draw in their collective breath. However, as tempting as it may be to obtain a rare painting or sculpture for an investment portfolio, these works are often best left to museums or those with the time for the considerable necessary research — and the money — to indulge this passion. If your motivation for acquiring a work of fine art is purely aesthetic then, of

course, admire away and buy what you like without a thought to its future value. But for individuals who think that investing in art is a happy trail leading to a guaranteed payout of tens of millions of dollars, think again. Art can be a rewarding investment in

and of itself, but for most of us it probably is not a viable alternative to stocks, bonds and other more traditional investment vehicles. Artwork is not your best investing option, particularly if you are concerned about liquidity. Rare works selling at phenomenal prices are certain to continue to garner headlines — like the recently reported sale of a Van Gogh at Sotheby’s for $66.3 million. However, it should be understood that those same pieces often were expensive to begin with. Many of these valuable works were either displayed in a temperature — and moisture-controlled setting where a high level of security ensured their safety, or they were kept out of sight until the market was right for a sale. Every investment plan has inherent risks. The stock market, of course, is no exception. But artists come into and go out of fashion. Woe to the investor who has spent significantly on what was once deemed a masterpiece but suddenly has gone out of style. What if you planned to finance your children’s education, but the time to cash
in on your investment does not align with the best time to liquidate your art 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 a particular artist? Many investors plan for a wide range of financial eventualities, and most require at least some access to investments on a timely basis. Investing in pieces of art may make sense for many reasons but not if liquidity is a primary concern. To appropriately benefit from your investments, there has to be a ready market that allows for easy liquidation while you stay rooted to the fundamentals. You will find that dynamic in fluid financial markets; however, you will not if investing in expensive art.

Real estate firm leaves Greenwich for Stamford
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank’s new office is at 680 Washington Blvd. in Stamford.
C
ommercial real estate firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank has opened a new office in Stamford, relocating from Greenwich to a space nearly double the size. The new NGKF office is at 680 Washington Blvd., occupying 10,600 square feet of the eighth floor of the multitenant, 11-story building. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank is part of publicly traded BGC Partners Inc. and has 330 offices. The move, according to a statement that included market momentum as a factor, “will further enable NGKF to add to its rapidly growing brokerage team and support staff.” James Ritman, the firm’s executive vice president and managing director, said, “We are pleased to announce we have moved to Stamford, which better aligns with our growth plans including the hiring of new talent, expanding our business
and growing our client base in the city of Stamford as well as into eastern and northern Fairfield County.” Mike Cottle, NGKF’s executive vice president and regional manager, said, “Nearly 20 years ago the Greenwich office was established to provide commercial real estate coverage to both Westchester, N.Y., and Fairfield County. In early 2013 NGKF opened our Rye Brook, N.Y., office to specifically focus on servicing the Westchester market. By moving our Connecticut team to Stamford, we can continue our momentum throughout the state and work more closely with our newly opened industrial office led by Arthur Ross in Hartford.” The Stamford location is within walking distance to the Stamford train station, making it accessible for commuting employees or visiting clients and guests, as well as for traveling to meetings in New York City. — Bill Fallon
Pair takes over at Mack-Cali
M
ack-Cali Realty Corp. has named two veteran real estate and finance executives to succeed Mitchell E. Hersh, who last month stepped down as president and CEO of the New Jersey-based real estate investment trust and commercial landlord in the region. Mitchell E. Rudin has assumed the CEO post at Mack-Cali and Michael J. DeMarco has begun work as the company’s president and chief operating officer. Each has more than 30 years of experience in the real estate industry, according to Mack-Cali. Rudin most recently served as president and CEO of U.S. commercial operations at
Brookfield Office Properties. Previously he was president and CEO of the New York tristate region for CBRE Inc. DeMarco most recently was chief investment officer at Cantor Commercial Real Estate Co. and previously was executive vice president at Vornado Realty Trust. He is a former senior managing director at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and a managing director at Fortress Investment Group. Mack-Cali officials said the new president and COO’s expertise is in investment banking, capital markets and restructuring of operations. — John Golden

SPECIAL REPORT
MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS
State ramps up push for visitors who arrive en masse MAKE IT THERE, SPEND IT HERE
BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com
W
hether it is for a crossword championship, a corporate meeting or a softball tournament, meetings and convention visitors bring money to the state, spend it in a short amount of time and, ideally, leave with favorable experiences that warrant repeating. Connecticut claims to reap $6.75 for every dollar it invests to attract meetings. The Convention & Sports Bureau, the state’s official meeting and sports event sales and marketing arm, is increasing its efforts to bring more meetings, conferences and sports tournaments to Fairfield County, said H. Scott Phelps, bureau president. While there have always been events in Fairfield County, Phelps said the bureau is now focusing more regionally, featuring proximity to New York City and attractions within the state like New Haven’s Peabody Museum, the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk and beaches. The Convention & Sports Bureau was responsible only for the greater Hartford area until 2012, when it became a statewide organization. Besides short-term economic gain, events also present an opportunity to make visitors future tourists. “We’re really going after the event first, but then we want people to have a good experience, to get a taste of Connecticut and come back for more,” Phelps said. Last year the bureau had about a $1 million budget, funded by the Connecticut Office of Tourism under the Department of Economic and Community Development and by private sponsorships, memberships and services. According to bureau data, the organization generates $6.75 in sales tax per every $1 it spends to recruit events to the state. Last year, visitors in Connecticut for events spent more than $68 million on hotels, dining, shopping and entertainment. Phelps said other cities and states see the economic impact of hosting events, making it a competitive industry. He said the bureau has vied for bids for events against nearby states and cities nationwide. “It’s about importing dollars earned in other states and having them spent in

Connecticut,” he said. Phelps especially sees potential in Stamford, where Director of Economic Development Thomas Madden is increasing efforts to market the city to meeting planners and sports associations. Madden, who came to Stamford last summer after working for 10 years in Greenburgh’s Department of Community Development and Conservation, is now on the board of the Convention & Sports Bureau. He said Stamford is competing with other towns along the Interstate 287 corridor and in the tristate area for events. Madden said he saw the events market in Westchester County and is eager to bring it to Stamford. “We’d really like to become the premier destination for meetings and events,” he said. Madden recently held a tour with meeting planners from New York and New Jersey who were impressed with Stamford, Phelps said. Madden said another tour is in the works. One of Stamford’s draws is that it is less than an hour train ride from Manhattan and is cheaper than hosting an event in New York City, Madden said. It could be one-third to half the cost compared with New York City, he said. Madden said businesspeople that work in Manhattan enjoy leaving the city for
Stamford. It has a walkable downtown, restaurant variety and entertainment options, including the Palace Theatre, the Avon Theatre and the outdoor summer concert series at Columbus Park, he said. He said Stamford has about 3,000 rooms between its biggest hotels — the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa, the Hilton Hotel Stamford and Sheraton Stamford — and others in the area. Stamford’s hotels have about a 74 percent occupancy rate during the week, rooming businesspeople in town for off-site day retreats, strategic planning meetings or regional conferences. Madden hopes to use the UBS building on Washington Boulevard, which has a large trading floor, for meetings and conferences. “That would make an incredible convention space,” he said. He said Chelsea Piers, a sports and meeting facility that opened in 2012 and expanded last year, has been a “huge economic gain.” It has hosted hockey tournaments, swimming meets and corporate team-building activities. Madden wants to attract tournaments in all sports to boost occupancy at hotels during the weekend. Patricia Patusky, director and superintendent of recreation for Stratford’s Recreation Department and tournament director for Stratford Softball Tournaments Inc., said
the town has hosted Amateur Softball Association tournaments since 1993. Patusky recently won a Bring it Home Award from the bureau for her contribution to making the state a successful major sports venue. She said the bureau estimated the tournaments in 2012 and 2014 brought in about $2.3 million combined. The next tournament is July 29 to August 2 and is expected to bring $1.3 million, Patusky said. Players from more than 30 teams come with their families, including parents and siblings that eat, shop and tour during their free time, she said. The “captive audience” stays in the area for three to five days, she said. She said she and volunteers make the event a good experience for visitors. “Having events here, we try very hard to be very organized and customer friendly and put the town in the best light to them and the surrounding areas,” she said. Bob Murdock, marketing director for the Convention & Sports Bureau, said Stamford will host the 2016 Maccabi games, a Jewish athletic competition for school-aged teenagers. The games were hosted in Stamford in 2006. Murdock said people are more likely to hold an event in Connecticut if they have already done one in the state. “The goal really is repeat business,” he said. “It’s a lot easier to keep an event here than it is to get one here.”

Promoter corrals food trucks for Stamford ‘rodeo’ BY ALEXANDER SOULE Hearst Connecticut Media
O
n June 20, Three60 Event Group is holding the first of what it says will be an annual Food Truck Rodeo and Music Festival in Stamford, having roped in 16 trucks to offer up varied fare, as well as Long Island’s Blue Point Brewing Co. to serve craft beers. It is the third community event organized in Stamford this year by Three60 Event owner Rob Forti, alongside a pair of food “raves” that each drew more than 500 people to Bank Street Events in downtown Stamford. For the rodeo, Forti said he expects between 3,000 and 5,000 people. Food trucks have long seen strength in numbers and increasingly are participating in rallies like one last month in Mystic or the upcoming rodeo in Stamford, in addition to the day-to-day efforts to promote their presence by groups like the Stamford Downtown Special Services District. Forti chose Mill River Park at 1010 Washington Blvd. for his Food Truck Rodeo and Music Festival, which will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and feature bands, activities for kids and craft vendors.
Advanced tickets are $10 or $15 at the gate, with seniors and children 13 or under free, and trucks charging for their offerings. Darlene Andersen and Diana Hall are into the second year of running their Melt Mobile gourmet grilled cheese truck, supplementing a larger catering business. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute, Hall said she and Andersen come up with four to five specials daily in addition to supplementing the regular menu. “We turn everything into a grilled cheese – crab cakes, today I have short ribs,” Hall said. “You’d be surprised. People come from New York, they come from up the line, Danbury.” Forti said the idea occurred to him last year after seeing a food truck gathering in New Haven. “We saw a whole street filled with food trucks and food vendors and everyone having a good time,” Forti said. “I started looking online and saw that people were doing these kinds of events. I thought it would be really good for Stamford. At that point in time, I reached out to the Mill River Park Collaborative and they welcomed it with open arms.” As much as he might have enjoyed recruiting truck proprietors on a window-

to-window basis, Forti said he built up his list of participating trucks by culling suggestions from social media and then picked up the phone. “Let me tell you something: With their locations different day to day, it would be very difficult to go about it that way,” Forti said. “I hit social media. I said, ‘Hey guys, why don’t you give me a list of food trucks that you like? What are your favorites?’” Other foods on site will include barbecue, pizza, seafood, Tex-Mex, ice cream and other desserts. Details for the event are on Three60
Events’ website at three60eventgroup.com, which also includes other upcoming events, to include future planned “raves” focused on Italian fare and spicy food, and an autumn festival in Bridgeport that will again feature food trucks among various diversions. “People are looking for something different to do,” Forti said. “There are other food events, but they’re very high-ticket items.” Hearst Connecticut Media includes four daily newspapers: Connecticut Post, Greenwich Time, The Advocate (Stamford) and The NewsTimes (Danbury).

Starwood will use apps to complement meetings, events
S
tamford-based Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. now has a referral partnership featuring event manager Cvent and PSAV, a 78-year-old special-events planning company, to provide mobile apps for planners who are booking meetings and events at its properties worldwide. Starwood owns or manages 1,200 properties in 100 countries and employs 180,000. “We are always looking for new ways to enhance the meetings and event experience at our properties,” said Jonathan Kaplan, Starwood’s director of sales, new business and digital programming, in a statement. “With the option of having a customizable app with CrowdCompass by Cvent, attendees can go paperless and view real-time content like event agendas, speaker bios, presentations and property information right from their mobile device. “Meeting attendees also may be able to use the app to create personalized
schedules, share contact information with other attendees, connect with others via social media and receive push message communications instantly from on-site meeting planners,” Kaplan said. Cvent and PSAV have partnered to bring CrowdCompass mobile apps to corporate meeting and event planners and hoteliers since 2013, Starwood said. Said Matthew Donegan-Ryan, director of mobile strategy at CrowdCompass by Cvent, “Providing CrowdCompass mobile apps is one more way for Starwood to transform the experience and engagement level of meeting attendees at Starwood hotels and resorts across the globe.” “Mobile apps for events have become an essential tool for bringing content and attendee engagement directly to an individual’s personal device,” said Stewart Young, vice president for strategic accounts at PSAV Presentation Services. — Bill Fallon

Social media can fuel marketing at trade shows
rade show marketing is a great way for companies to get in front of their vertical targets and make new connections. Trade shows (and conferences) can also be a great opportunity to get company thought leaders speaking in front of the right audience and to enhance expert positioning. While face-to-face and traditional marketing tactics comprise the lion’s share of trade show marketing, social media can help to drive foot traffic to your booth, increase the reach of at-show speaking engagements and optimize the value of your overall trade show marketing experience. Here’s an overview of how social media marketing can help support your overall trade show strategy: BLOG A blog is a great place to tease your upcoming trade show presence, including any special in-booth happenings (special guests, product demos/previews, giveaways, etc.), drive registration for associated speaking engagements/ workshops and position one’s company as being a thought leader that keeps abreast of industry trends and happenings. A blog is also a great place to recap your team’s top takeaways from the show (especially valuable insights for clients and prospects who couldn’t attend themselves),
share video excerpts of any workshops your team presented and build upon trends seen during the show. VIDEO Video is a great way to help those who couldn’t attend the show to share in the experience. If you have a special product demo at your booth, a guest speaker stopping by, information sessions happening on the show floor or other unique marketing opportunities occurring, consider how you can share these events during and following the event. You can: • Shoot short videos on your smartphone for social sharing. • Use the footage to keep your YouTube channel fresh. • Seize an opportunity to experiment with extremely short-format content through Vine. • Compile a collection of clips from the day into a longer-format piece for distribution through email marketing. Existing contacts Existing clients, former clients and your database of prospects should all be engaged in your pre-trade show marketing strategy. Whether you facilitate associated conversa-
tions in a company-owned LinkedIn group, deploy a stream of teaser tweets or employ a multiweek email marketing campaign to drive attendance for your CEO’s workshop, this is a vital audience – not to mention one that has already been vetted and is primed to engage and, ideally, take action. LINKEDIN Leveraging LinkedIn is about more than promoting your trade show presence on a company page and driving traffic to associated blog content. It’s about tapping into the expansive networks of your sales team and other key folks who will be representing your company at the trade show. Consider prepping them with pre-formatted updates to share leading up to show, including opportunities to connect with them day-of-show. FACEBOOK Plan to aggregate a gallery of images from the trade show that you can post immediately following the event. Also consider what updates you can share during the day of the trade show to impart value to those who aren’t in attendance. Of course, you can include links to the Facebook photo gallery in post-show email marketing as well. TWITTER Twitter is a great way to share key show
takeaways with your online audiences. Whether a member of your team is attending educational seminars taking place during the show and can ‘live tweet’ some key takeaways or you have a colleague on-hand to live tweet your CEO’s show seminar, succinct bites of content (including but not limited to quotes, factoids and statistics) lend themselves beautifully to being tweeted and are great ways to show your company is ‘plugged in’ to what is happening in your industry and in your clients’ industries. Whether your company is a trade show marketing veteran and a social media novice or well-versed in both, integrating your online and offline marketing is key to optimizing trade show marketing success. It’s also a great opportunity to cross-pollinate activities between your sales and marketing teams to drive meaningful – and measurable – action, thereby increasing your trade show return on investment.

Malloy, currently serving the people of Connecticut for a second term as Governor. Since 2011, his administration’s top agenda items have included creating jobs, improving public education, stabilizing the state’s finances, making long-overdue investments in the state’s transportation infrastructure, and protecting the environment. With the adoption on June 3 of the State’s fifth budget since his initial election, Governor Malloy has a substantive record of action seeking these priorities. This address will give the Governor the opportunity to reflect on the results of his own “First Five,” to put Connecticut’s experience in a regional and national context, and to offer his vision of what lies ahead. The luncheon will also include a brief report on the highlights of The Business Council’s FY15 and the election of directors.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL • Week of June 15, 2015 17
Summer Delights in Ridgefield Residents and visitors have long been drawn to Ridgefield’s beauty as a source for artistic inspiration — particularly in the summer months. We continue that tradition with a wide array of vibrant cultural happenings this summer. On Saturday, July 18, Ridgefield rewinds with a townwide time warp back to the 1970s for our Super Seventies Summerfest. Classic cars, merchants and artisans will line the streets and the stage will be hopping as bands play the ’70s greatest hits. There is fun for the whole family. For more on Ridgefield’s history, visit the Keeler Tavern Museum, once the summer home of the prominent Beaux Arts architect Cass Gilbert. For antiques lovers, the museum hosts its annual Antiques and Treasures sale Aug. 7-9. Hundreds of antiques are displayed in arranged rooms showcasing furniture, mirrors, paintings, glass, china, silver and other decorative accessories. Take a stroll around former summer residence, Weir Farm National Historic Site. Painter Julian Alden Weir, pioneer of American Impressionism, transformed his retreat into a creative refuge for friends and fellow artists in the late 1880s — and his legacy of artistic expression continues today. Explore the newly renovated home and artist studios and discover your inner artist while sketching en plein air (art supplies are provided by the site). Ready to embrace the lazy summer days? Visit the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for “Sloth,” its contribution to the “Seven Deadly Sins,” the first programmatic collaboration of the seven Fairfield/Westchester Museum Alliance member institutions. Salute the idle days of summer with a tour of “Sloth” led by exhibition organizers, songs about laziness, family activities, food for purchase and other sinful and slothful surprises. From there, take a stroll down Main Street and to the Watershed Gallery for a its “Cuts Both Ways” exhibit featuring two astounding paper-cut artists, then continue on to the Ridgefield Library for author talks, movies and music series. I invite you to come enjoy these events and discover our cultural and historic treasures, shopping and culinary delights and exceptional arts and entertainment venues.

Presented through June 27 at the Ridgefield Theatre Barn, Edward Albee’s comic drama is about the shattering of marital illusions and the breakdown of civility. The play won both the Tony and New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award for Best Play in 1963 and was named by the selection committee for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. However, the play never actually received the award because the advisory board objected to the play’s then-controversial nature. There are performances Friday and Saturday evenings through June 27, with a Sunday matinee June 21.

BUSINESS CONNECTIONS STATE BUDGET
Keep Jobs in Connecticut: Roll Back Tax Hikes
O
n the last day of the legislative session, over the warnings of CBIA, editorial writers throughout the state, and thousands of Connecticut taxpayers, the General Assembly approved a budget that, if not modified, will send the state down a potentially devastating economic path. We must stop the damage before it begins. We cannot stand by and watch an exodus of good jobs from Connecticut, which is far too likely to happen if this budget is enacted. That is why we have officially requested Governor Malloy to meet with legislative leaders and CBIA to discuss reopening budget negotiations and reversing this dangerous course.
in newspapers across the state, online digital ads, direct mail pieces sent to 200,000 households in dozens of state legislative districts, and countless television, radio, and newspaper interviews.
When the state legislature began work in January, the consensus priority for 2015 was to make Connecticut more competitive for jobs and economic growth. We have to reclaim that goal before it’s too late; and the clock is ticking.
Despite these efforts, the budget was approved and its impact will reach into every community in this state and affect employers of every size and kind, from the local machine shop to the midsize office to the multinational corporation. It has already started causing businesses large and small to question the viability of Connecticut as a place in which to do business.
We have told the governor that we are willing to roll up our sleeves and work with him and legislative leaders on solutions that will reverse this dangerous course and put Connecticut instead on a path of fiscal stability and economic growth.
There is no doubt that Connecticut businesses are focused on succeeding and growing. The question now is where they will grow. These decisions will impact employees and their families, the communities they live in, and the worthy causes and civic organizations they support.
Here are the phone numbers for the four legislative caucuses:
STATE BUDGET
FIX THE DAMAGE
Throughout the budget battle, we cautioned policymakers that the spending and tax package was unaffordable, unsustainable, and untimely. We carried this message in a major campaign that included face-to-face meetings with state lawmakers, phone banks with calls to legislators, seven weeks of radio ads, full-page ads
The unfortunate reality is, if this budget and tax package is enacted, it will seriously impair the ability of many businesses to succeed in Connecticut.
We are fighting for you, your employees and families. And we need your help; we ask you to raise your voice with us. Contact your legislators. Urge them to reopen the budget, find additional savings, and roll back the harmful tax increases.
