Rhone sweats the details

SILVER-INFUSED FABRICS PROVE A HOMERUN WITH ATHLETES BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com RHONE APPAREL IS A SMALL STARTUP WITH BIG AMBITIONS. Nate Checketts, the company’s co-founder and CEO, said the niche activewear brand for men is already growing nationally. Funded about 18 months ago in New Canaan as a side business, Rhone Apparel will soon close a Series A round of funding. The clothing is made with odor and bacteria-blocking technology and is designed to double as lifestyle wear, differentiating the company from larger brands, Checketts said. The tops, bottoms and accessories can be worn to work out and hang out, he said.

“None focus on men or men’s leisure,” he said. “We’ve really got a first-mover advantage in what we’re doing.” Checketts, who said he has always been an entrepreneur, launched mobile software in college purchased by the San Francisco 49ers; worked at a growth equity firm specializing in sports and media companies; and most recently worked in sponsorships for the National Football League. He saw an opportunity while at the NFL when the various fitness apparel brands he tried all smelled bad after 10 wears. He realized most athletic clothing uses a chemical-based spray that » RHONE, page 4

SIC taps tech enthusiasm, adds education A PARTNERSHIP WITH SHIPPAN INSTITUTE BRINGS A HACK-A-THON

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com THE STAMFORD INNOVATION CENTER HAS partnered with The Shippan Institute to offer a four-part course this summer designed to demystify the hash-tag/search-engine-optimized world of modern media. A person might cherry-pick any course, but those who complete all four will have a certificate validating their effort to present to prospective employers. In another effort, Stamford-based Shippan, which offers training software and has run innovative tech forums nationally, and the SIC will launch the Stamford Hack-A-Thon Sept. 18-20, using previous Shippan-run Hack-A-Thons in New York City and San Francisco as the template.

Shippan founder and Stamford resident Hugh Seaton, dressed in jeans and seated in the cooled marble confines of the SIC on Atlantic Street, said of the Hack-A-Thon, “It’s a chance to work through new technologies, to learn by doing. Hacking means finding creative solutions to problems. In the developer community we use the term to mean a smarter way to do things.” He expects 150 to180 software developers and hackers to attend in September and to produce a first-of-its-kind 3-D map of Stamford that will serve as a springboard for local apps. The social media and Hack-A-Thon efforts fit well with the SIC’s education-themed ethos. “Our approach is to be cheerleaders and supporters and to help when asked,” said Peter Propp, the SIC’s chief marketing officer. “We’re not a rigid incubator and one reason for that is

the people of Fairfield County are really accomplished and really smart. You don’t have to be a social scientist to know that. “The barriers to success are education and experience,” he said. “What may be appropriate for one is not appropriate for another. It’s really a style of doing things — to get to know startups on an individual basis and attract broad support for what they’re doing. “Is there as much angel investing or venture capital as we would like?” Propp asked. “The answer is no.” Calling the relationship an official partnership, Seaton said, “They’ve essentially contracted us to build on their education successes and explore new ideas.” A different instructor leads each class, » SIC, page 6

State expands programs to clean contaminated properties BY HUGH BAILEY Hearst Connecticut Media

ith federal funding continuing to lag, the state of Connecticut has increased its already active programs to clean up polluted

properties. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy recently signed into law an increase in the state’s brownfields programs to $40 million of bond funding for the next two years. The previous twoyear budget allocated $30 million. “The funding the governor and the Legislature provided allows us to take on more sites in more communities and bring them back to productive reuse,” said Tim Sullivan, deputy commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community

Sen. Chris Murphy tours the former site of the Remington Shaver plant this month with Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch to learn how the property, next to Seaside Park, will be developed.

Development, who directs the state brownfields initiative. “And the program changes will help us do more projects more quickly and more efficiently, with fewer delays.” Those changes include a series of improvements aimed at tackling the state’s oversupply of land held back from development by real or perceived contamination from former industrial uses. One new program will allow cities to put together plans for clusters of brownfields, rather than go parcel by parcel, which will help in prioritizing. Another will allow for additional funding to be allocated in case of cost overruns from unforeseen environmental issues or other problems, rather than making a project wait to compete for additional dollars in the next round of funding awards. The allowable size of individual loans has also been increased to $4 million from $2 million. Grants are already allowed up to $4 million. During a state budget session characterized by acrimony over tax hikes and budget cuts, the brownfields funding bills passed both chambers unanimously. “We see it as investment versus spending,” Sullivan said. “It brings significant returns in terms of economic benefits and jobs. It brings unproductive properties back

onto the tax rolls.” For every dollar spent by the state on brownfields programs, private entities put in almost $4, he said. As the state has ramped up its programs, what had been the biggest source of funding, the federal Environmental Protection Agency, has pulled back. It’s the consequence of a number of factors including the Budget Control Act of 2011, which cuts domestic spending almost across the board. Sen. Chris Murphy, in a tour recently of state brownfields, said the cuts, known as sequestration, have had a serious impact on programs that have bipartisan support, including for site remediation. The state is helping to fill the gap, but can only go so far, Sullivan said. “The EPA is a really important partner, and they’ve had significant budget challenges that the Connecticut delegation has tried to fight,” he said. “It’s not just funding, but in terms of regulatory oversight. Making sure they have the staffing both in D.C. and in the regions is a really important piece of the puzzle.” Hearst Connecticut Media includes four daily newspapers: Connecticut Post, Greenwich Time, The Advocate (Stamford) and The NewsTimes (Danbury).

Cyber breaches expose vulnerabilities BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

ybersecurity experts agree protecting data is no longer something that can be ignored as attacks proliferate and become more sophisticated. While it’s hard to identify the number of breaches that occur, there has been an increase in their quality and impact, said Karl Muenzinger, director of consulting at Janus Associates, a Stamford-based information security firm that works with all sectors, including government. Hackers can target and cause damage to organizations as large as the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, stealing confidential information of about 25 million people, or as small as a midsize business, stealing passwords or crashing websites. “I think people’s approach to security is improving, but the risk is increasing faster than people’s reaction to it,” Muenzinger said. “This is becoming more and more visible.” U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Greenwich, said many breaches happen because of a lack of “cyber hygiene,” when people click on bad links in an email that then allow hackers into the system. In the case of the recent OPM breach, it was most likely a sophisticated attack from a hostile government, he said. There are units in Russia, China, North Korea and Iran focused on breaking into U.S. systems, he said. He said each U.S. government agency is responsible for its own security. A federal law that was passed in the House of Representatives and awaits Senate approval will set standards for security, for notifying victims of hacking and for improving communication between public and private sectors to warn of attacks, he said. Companies and the government do not communicate well because of privacy concerns, he said. “Government agencies and the private sector need to really make this a missioncritical initiative,” he said. “What happened at OPM was a catastrophe and it could probably have been avoided if the management at OPM had prioritized cybersecurity.” He said the OPM victims are at risk of identity theft or of being exposed. Muenzinger said the attack is damaging. “It’s being characterized by people on the inside as being more impactful than the Snowden or WikiLeaks,” Muenzinger said. “So it’s a big deal.” Patricia Fisher, president and CEO of Janus Associates, said government employees are “extremely annoyed” and it will now be harder to find cybersecurity professionals who want to work for the government.

She said although Katherine Archuleta, director of the Office of Personnel Management, was the one to resign, the middle managers are at fault. In government, this layer of employees is embedded in the organization and has the power to change processes, she said. “(Archuleta) takes the blame for it and she has to, but she didn’t cause the problem,” Fisher said. “She probably didn’t even know about the problem. If she had known, she might have tried to stop it and have

been totally unable to.” Technological capabilities of hackers are increasing and hard to keep up with, especially if infrastructure has not been secured in the past few years, Fisher said. “When you’re not interested and not focused on something, that’s when things happen,” she said. News of three technological failures on one day at the New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and The Wall Street Journal also brought attention to the danger of weak-

nesses in prominent companies. Muenzinger said the three organizations’ claimed the problems were glitches, but some believe it could have been hackers. From a technical point of view, it takes a long time to unravel what occurred, he said. “They may not know themselves exactly what happened,” Muenzinger said. Daniel Jackson, a computer science professor at MIT, said he would not be surprised if either was the case: an attack or a bug. In » » CYBER, page 6

washes out, leaving the synthetic material to absorb bacteria. “If there’s any group on earth that needs odor and bacteria protection, it’s men who work out,” Checketts said. He discovered NASA and the U.S. Special Forces use melted silver in uniforms to limit odor and bacteria. Checketts said he wanted to take the technology to a bigger market. With no apparel background, Checketts, his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law’s former colleague started the company. Checketts became full time in September and said the other co-founders are getting closer to making Rhone Apparel their job, as well. The company has an office in New Canaan with 10 full-time employees. Checketts said he based the business model on other direct-to-consumer startups Warby Parker, an online glasses company, and Harry’s, an online men’s shaving products retailer. Rhone Apparel has no retail locations — its products are sold at events, online, in 30 Equinox gyms, 20 Bloomingdale’s locations and come fall, in two Nordstrom stores. Rhone Apparel is predicted to grow six times this year over last year, Checketts said. The startup did more sales in its first year than Under Armour, another athletic-wear company, did in its first four years, he said. Still, maintaining a local presence is important to Checketts, who ran a table at the Darien sidewalk sale in July, greeting neighbors, friends and customers. As a customer purchased shirts for her spouse, he warned her, “Don’t be surprised if your husband is 10 times more attractive after.” Fairfield County is where Checketts grew up, lives and where he and his cofounders raised their first round of capital from friends and family. According to Hearst Media Group, the company raised $7.8 million in a sale of equity, the largest amount raised in the state this year. Although that’s a sizable fund, Checketts said that is nothing compared to startups in

California. He said not many people launch startups in Connecticut, so his company stands out. “We feel lucky to have a smaller pond from a startup perspective,” he said. His company warrants some comparison with Mount Kisco-based Tommie Copper, a compression and activewear brand that uses copper in the fabric for what it says are performance and recovery benefits. Checketts said he stayed away from using copper, which has a negative connotation with the Environmental Protection Agency. Tommie Copper is more activewear than a blend of workout and lifestyle gear, he said. The closest brand comparison to Rhone Apparel is Lululemon, a lifestyle and activewear brand for women and men that is most known for its women’s clothing. Checketts consciously decided to specialize in men’s apparel using neutral colors and design and and a masculine brand identity. Rhone clothing appeals to the “weekend warriors” — those who care about their health and wellness as much as their work and family. Most customers live in New York,

Connecticut, California, Chicago, Texas, Colorado and Utah, Checketts said. Checketts said the apparel, priced from $68 for a short-sleeve shirt up to $98 for a hoodie, is named for leaders or nature and has inspirational quotes like “Never mistake motion for action” printed on the inside hems. These touches are meant to positively impact men during moments of reflection, which often happen while working out. He plans to have pop-up stores in New York City and Nantucket and open bicoastal stores next year. The company is developing new products for fall made with Icelandic seaweed that is EPA-approved and emits Vitamins E and A. The company has spent time perfecting the clothing product, website and shipping, Checketts said. Now it can focus on marketing and growing the business. He is still getting used to the designto-production process, which can take six to eight months. Even so, he said Rhone Apparel can move faster than large companies. “The biggest challenge is trying to get ahead,” Checketts said.

Westmed continues expansion in county

utnam Gynecology & Obstetrics of Greenwich, with offices at 55 Holly Hill Lane in Greenwich and at 106 Noroton Ave. in Darien, is joining Westchester-based Westmed Medical Group. The medical practice reported it serves thousands of patients in Fairfield County and lower Westchester County. The six board-certified physicians on the staff will remain. They are Michael Schechter, Elizabeth Molinelli, Dzwinka Carroll, Y. Elizabeth Hung, Catherine Berzolla and Linda Reid. In addition to retaining its physicians, the OB-GYN group will retain its staff. Additional diagnostic services will be introduced over time and will be offered onsite, Westmed said in a statement.

Westmed is staffed by 287 physicians at its nine locations in central and lower Westchester County and now in Fairfield County. The practice embraces what it calls a “one-stop-shopping medical experience for patients” and uses electronic medical records. Westmed has medical offices in White Plains, Rye, Yonkers, Purchase, Scarsdale, New Rochelle and now Greenwich, where it also has leased 13,000 square feet — from owner and developer Bronx-based Simone Development Cos., with which it has worked in Westchester County — at 644 W. Putnam Ave. Westmed plans an outpatient clinic there to open by fall. — Bill Fallon

Above-ground pool

iled under “There’s something you don’t see every day,” Erland Construction Co. recently hoisted a 7-ton swimming pool into place at 184 Summer St. in Stamford, the site of Stamford-based F. D. Rich’s 22-story residential building, Summer House. The 40-foot lap pool, already tiled, was hoisted to its berth on the fifth floor. It is made of stainless steel and holds about 9,000 gallons of water, according to Erland, which is managing the project construction. Erland is based in Massachusetts, with offices in Stamford and East Windsor. Summer House is composed of 226 apartments, a five-level garage and a 23rd floor rooftop terrace. Erland describes it as mixed-use, high-rise rental housing. Units could begin renting in August. Amenities include 2,700 square feet dedicated to restaurant space.

sharing best practices and walking participants through steps necessary to build a social media presence. “One thing that makes us unique in the startup system is the support here — they hear yes,” Propp said. “That’s the tone here. And the general tone they hear elsewhere is, You don’t have it. Here, on Tuesday you can stand up and say, I need this. And Wednesday you have help.” “You can stay focused here and not get discouraged in a lonely office,” Seaton said. “We recognize that being part of a community is important,” Propp said. “It’s planned serendipity.

SIC Managing Partner Barry Schwimmer said, “There’s a lot going on here.” “Peter (Propp) and Barry (Schwimmer) really know the talent community,” Seaton said. Noting Propp is a former IBM worker and Schwimmer’s background is finance, he said. “You name it, they’ve done it. They

partnership with utilities, according to a press release from Gov. Dannel Malloy. Jackson said every type of business is vulnerable to cyberattacks. “If you have something worth taking or breaking, someone will try and do it,” he said. Meunzinger finds companies often put one person in charge of security and walk away. Cybersecurity is an ongoing process that takes maintenance, he said. He advises organizations to do risk assessment with a professional, to perform practice attacks and to strengthen systems and credentials. Basic cybersecurity training is also helpful, he said.

More people are becoming educated, Fisher said. The Connecticut Technology Council hosted cybersecurity seminars in March and June and has another scheduled for September in East Hartford. The Danbury Area Computer Society, a nonprofit, hosted Ira Wilsker, an expert on Internet security, to speak about hacking threats at a meeting earlier this month. Last year, the University of Connecticut and Comcast Corp. opened a Center of Excellence for Security Innovation at the school’s Storrs campus. Fisher said rapidly growing companies

whose infrastructure does not keep up with their growth are at risk for attacks. She is aware it is challenging for small and midsize companies to put resources toward cybersecurity. Still, improving security is less expensive than a cyberattack. Many companies who wanted to negotiate price of security measures are willing to spend any amount of money once they’ve been breached, she said. “People really looking at bottom line are more and more interested,” Fisher said. “Too bad they weren’t doing that five years ago.”

general, it shows “that our exposure to failures is growing, and that we can’t afford to treat cybersecurity as an afterthought,” he said. Fisher said those in security are concerned whatever happened could be focused on critical infrastructure, like utilities. Last year, the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority released a cybersecurity plan to protect against a growing number of attacks. Connecticut is the first state to present a cybersecurity strategy in

Zaniac seeks to add 10 campuses in the region

he co-founders of Zaniac Greenwich, a STEM after-school program, plan to expand to 10 more locations in the New York metro area. Campuses in Westport and Manhattan are expected to open in the next few months. Zaniac is a national STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning franchise based in Utah. Greenwich residents Camilla Gazal and Flavia Naslausky opened Zaniac’s first Northeast campus in Greenwich in 2013 at 644 W. Putnam Ave. The school has had strong enrollment in its 18 months from towns throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties and New York City, the co-founders said. In an interview with the Fairfield County Business Journal last month, they said they were considering opening a Wesport or Fairfield location this year. The Westport campus will be at 1391 Post Road East and the Manhattan campus will be on the Upper East Side. They are expected to open by early September. — Danielle Brody

The department will fund two Bridgeport proposals submitted by Habitat CFC in an aggregate amount of $1,725,000 to build 23 affordable home units for ownership. The units will be constructed on blighted and vacant infill lots throughout the city. The “Habitat CFC Neighborhood Build 1 & 2” projects will consist of energy-rated units with a mix of single-family homes and duplexes, all sold to first-time homebuyers whose incomes are at or below 80 percent of the area median income.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

How to balance beneﬁts and proﬁts We’re not sure what to do about health care. We’re worried about getting hit with increases in premiums this year, which could eat into our profits. How do we sort it out? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Figure out what your company can and can’t afford to pay. Health care has been in constant change for the last several years for every company — it’s time to discuss that reality with your employees. Considering encouraging employees to turn to your state’s exchange for insurance? Be sure you have someone lined up who can help explain all the policy options. Make sure you can explain what you’re doing and why.

Look at your ratios. Set a target range for all salaries and benefits calculated as compared to revenue and to gross profit. As you consider adding or adjusting benefits, and paying out bonuses, make sure that your changes don’t blow the target ratio. Ideally, any growth in benefits and bonus payouts comes from growth of the company. Forecast increases in revenue and gross profit, and figure out if you’ll need any additional personnel. Deduct that increased personnel plus any material costs from the increase in forecasted revenue and gross profit. What’s left over is the amount of income you can use to build up profits, pay additional benefits and bonuses, invest in savings and infrastructure and use to pay taxes on profits. Not sure whether your salaries and ben-

efits are in line with your industry? Turn to your industry association for advice and benchmarks. Some industries have stats posted online, so check that as well. You can also contact peers in your industry across the country and ask them what they’re spending. Keep in mind that both coasts tend to have a higher cost of living. Many companies struggle as they take on additional health care costs, benefits and pay increases without sufficient revenue growth. If that’s a problem your company is facing, be honest about what’s going on before potentially sending the company into a financial black hole. Raises and additional benefits should happen as a result of increased profits. Over the past several years, companies have had

to absorb a number of mandates regarding how employees are paid and what benefits they receive. The cost of these mandates is equivalent to annual cost-of-living pay raises and then some. Many companies have taken on substantial increases in cost of pay without seeing significant growth in revenue or improvement in profitability through increased productivity. Show your employees how much the company pays on their behalf, above and beyond salary. Start with federal insurance and unemployment contributions; don’t forget to add in the costs of medical, dental and life insurance, child care, time off from work, and any other benefit programs your company provides. Have a rationale and set limits on how benefits are distributed and paid for. The simplest way to handle health care is to pay for the company’s individual premium or a percentage of that. Employees who want to elect more coverage for their family can do so and use a portion of their paycheck to cover the cost. Be careful when considering higher benefit costs for managers. Keep in mind that managers tend to be more expensive in salary. Loading additional costs onto an already expensive manager may make that person so costly that they can’t prove they can deliver enough profits to allow the company to break even. When getting ready to give out raises, calculate the raise as a percentage of the existing salary. One company decided to give employees an hourly raise, without realizing it was a 10 percent to 15 percent increase in pay across the board. They would have been better off giving this money as a bonus and making it clear to employees that it was only going to continue if profits stayed up. There are some great reasons for providing employees with benefits. Employees who take time off regularly tend to be significantly more productive. Those who can afford to see a doctor regularly are more likely to be healthy and productive. Employees who can afford to stay home when they’re sick recover more quickly. Employees who know their children are safe are less distracted. The list goes on. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK? Try “The Employee Benefits Answer Book” by Rebecca Mazin.

When online rant and business collide

MEASURED APPROACH NEEDED TO ADDRESS EMPLOYEES’ PUBLIC DIATRIBES

o matter how offensive an employee’s rants on social media, in Connecticut, what the employer can do about it depends. Recently, a Texas firefighter’s Facebook posting was read as a sympathy statement for the racist who murdered nine AfricanAmericans at a South Carolina church. The firefighter was dismissed. The case raises important questions about the limits on an employer’s right to act when an employee launches an offensive or embarrassing rant on social media or some other area of the public domain. The answer is not simple. The employee’s offensive speech may be protected whether the rant relates to workplace conditions or to issues of public concern. If the employee uses social media to object to working conditions, particularly if the complaints are likely to be read by other employees, the National Labor Relations Board may say it is protected speech, beyond employer control. The employee cannot be subject to disciplinary action. The protections are broad and the penalties for infringing on the employee’s rights severe, includ-

ing rescission of the discipline and a grant of whole relief to the employee. If the speech addresses nonworkplace issues, additional protection may be found in state law. Some employee complaints are also protected by federal and state whistleblower laws. Discussion of the Confederate flag, however, presents a different problem, as this issue stands apart from the terms of employment (unless you manufacture flags). In this case, a private company’s personnel look to Section 31-51q of Connecticut’s general statutes for protection, prohibiting employers from disciplining or discharging any employee because of the exercise of rights protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. That protection is limited in two ways. First, the employee’s speech cannot substantially or materially interfere with work performance. Second, it cannot substantially interfere with the employee’s relationship to the employer. An employer who runs afoul of this statute faces the prospect of paying damages and attorney’s fees to a successful employee plaintiff. When considering a speech issue, the

first point addressed is whether the subject is a question of public concern. This determination is for the court. Second, were the literal words spoken (or posted) really addressing the purported public interest?

The employee’s offensive speech may be protected whether the rant relates to workplace conditions or to issues of public concern. This question is for a jury. It is dependent upon the speaker’s subjective intent. What does the jury think the speaker meant to convey through the offending words? Two final obstacles face the employee seeking recompense. First, the employee must show the offending remarks did not materially interfere with job performance or with his employer relationship. Second, the employee must prove the speech was, in fact, a substantial motivating factor in his discipline or discharge — often difficult facts to establish. Where does this all leave our Confederate flag enthusiast? Depends. The issue is not job-related. It seems to be a matter of public concern and so passes the first Section 31-51q test. We move to the second analytical step. Do the words on our rebel’s Facebook page actually address the flag issue or somehow wander off into something unrelated to the question of public interest. Assuming the words also meet this test, we have to see whether they adversely impact the employee’s job performance or his relationship with the boss. If the boss is African-American, we may have a different result than if the

company officials are white. Similarly, if the workforce is largely African-American and is angered by the pro-Confederate flag posting, there might be an adverse impact on the employees’ job performance. But what happens if the pro-flag posting goes viral and hurts the employer’s business? Would this be enough to create a material and substantial adverse impact on the employee’s relationship with her employer or her ability to perform her job? One would hope so, but predictions are dangerous with free speech issues. Finally, assuming that the employee has shown the speech is on a public issue and the words used relate to the issue and presuming the words do not adversely affect the employee’s job performance or his relationship to his employer, can the employee prove the words played a substantial motivating part in discipline or discharge? The employer is likely to claim there was some other speech-neutral reason for the adverse job action. It is the employee’s technical burden to overcome that employer assertion. However, as a practical matter, the employer should be in a position to demonstrate the stated reason, often poor job performance, was, in fact, what supported the decision to fire or otherwise punish the employee. Addressing employee social media ravings or other public rants is not a simple matter. An employer’s response should not be based simply on his or her own sense of outrage, but must be a decision made in the calm light of measured factual and legal consideration. Robert B.

Doctor sentenced for fraud

Ridgefield doctor was sentenced July 13 for committing health care fraud. David Lester Johnston, an osteopathic physician at Osteopathic Wellness Center LLC in Ridgefield, pleaded guilty in January to one count of health care fraud and admitted that he engaged in a scheme to defraud several private health insurance companies by submitting claims for services that he did not perform and by misrepresenting the nature of the services that were performed, according to a press release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Connecticut. Johnston was sentenced to three months

of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release, the first six months of which must be served in home confinement. He was also ordered to perform 150 hours of community service and to pay restitution in the amount of $172,950. In a civil settlement with the government, Johnston also agreed to pay $270,528 for submitting false claims to the Medicare program for office visits, treatments and services. Johnston has been excluded from participation in all federal health care programs for five years. — Danielle Brody

SPECIAL REPORT

MID-YEAR REVIEW: BANKING, INVESTMENTS, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INSURANCE

United Bank notches successes in nascent Fairﬁeld County eﬀort BY BILL FALLON ate a financial balance for themselves, their families and their respective businesses. “As banks have weathered a combination of losses resulting in embattled balance sheets and expense-control measures, among other challenges, for some companies these challenges have resulted in a discontented customer base and the inability at this time to expand into new markets. We’re bucking that trend.”

bfallon@westfairinc.com

aureen Hanley-Bellitto, senior vice president for Glastonbury-based United Bank in Westport, is tasked with commercial banking development as the bank expands southward into Fairfield County. The bank’s new Westport office complements its mortgage office at 1720 Post Road in Fairfield, which had already opened when the Westport office opened in February at 55 Greens Farms Road. The official ribbon-cutting will be in September. To date, the bank’s Fairfield County efforts have generated $35 million in in-county commercial loans and “hundreds of millions” in mortgage loans. United Bank has 52 retail banking branches and five loan production offices, including in Westport. Ten people are part of the bank’s Fairfield private mortgage banking team (not all based in Fairfield, but the bank identifies them as part of that team). Five people work with United Bank’s commercial banking team based in Westport. Hanley-Bellitto answered questions for the Business Journal via email: UNITED BANK EXPANDED INTO WESTPORT THIS YEAR DURING WHAT MANY CONSIDER A FRAGILE RECOVERY. WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING THAT OTHERS MAY NOT? “We have often been asked about our choice to grow and expand our footprint in Connecticut in Fairfield County and in Boston during this ongoing and deep postrecessionary economic environment, especially at a time when there is an extensive consolidation and contraction occurring

Maureen Hanley-Bellitto, senior vice president, United Bank.

within the banking industry. In contradiction to these trends, United Bank sees tremendous growth opportunities — clearly evidenced by our most recent expansion into new area.” YOU MERGED WITH ROCKVILLE BANK. WHAT DID THIS MEAN FOR YOUR BUSINESS MODEL? “Through what we call ‘the transformational merger of equals’ between Rockville Bank and United Bank that took place last year, we have established community banking teams comprised of employees in all lines of business who understand the banking needs of our clients and are skilled in providing the solutions our customers need to cre-

SOME BACKGROUND, PLEASE, FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE BRAND IN THE FAIRFIELD COUNTY MARKET. HOW BIG A BANK? “We are a Connecticut state-chartered, $5.5 billion bank headquartered in Glastonbury that serves markets throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts, including our commercial lending and private mortgage banking teams in Fairfield County. We have 52 retail banking branches; five loan production offices, including the one we just opened at 55 Green Farms Road in Westport; four regional offices and deep-rooted community banking teams covering every market we serve. “According to FDIC market share data, United Bank is the No. 1 community bank in the combined Hartford-Springfield market. Also, the SEC public company data set lists us as among the larger headquartered banks in Connecticut.” HOW IS BUSINESS SO FAR IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY? “I am proud to say that in just a short time in Fairfield County we have closed $35 million in commercial loans to local businesses and built a robust pipeline for 2015. In

addition, our mortgage team in Fairfield has provided hundreds of millions in residential loans to area residents, recently ranking us 11th in the state for mortgage production, according to the FDIC.” DO YOU HAVE AN OVERARCHING COMMERCIAL MODEL? “We are large enough and well-positioned to offer all the products our commercial customers demand, but small enough to deliver a banking experience to help businesses grow and succeed in Fairfield County. Our vision is to pursue excellence in all things with respect to our customers, employees, shareholders and communities we serve. It’s been a pillar of our bank for more than 150 years.” WHAT DO YOU THINK SETS YOU APART? “We empower our lenders through local decision making on loans and by giving them the tools they need to swiftly and effectively service our commercial and mortgage lending customers. That’s why our lenders work around their customers’ schedules; there’s no such thing as ‘bankers’ hours’ when it comes to commercial lending. “And we strongly believe that investing in our community is a corporate responsibility. In 2014, our Connecticut and Massachusetts foundations together donated more than $1.2 million to more than 400 charitable organizations to make our communities an even better place to live, work and do business. “Lastly, attracting and retaining the best talent is a must because business owners want to work with bankers they trust, respect and can always rely on.”

Friends of Witherell repays $1M

he nonprofit Friends of Nathaniel Witherell presented a check for $1 million to the town of Greenwich to partly offset the construction costs of Project Renew, the effort that has modernized and refurbished The Nathaniel Witherell, the short-term rehabilitation and long-term nurs-

ing care campus on Parsonage Road that is owned by the town. To date, $9,078,291 has been raised through the fundraising efforts of the Friends toward Project Renew, including a state historic income tax credit of $4,490,918. Project Renew accomplishments include

new communications systems and increasing the number of private rooms from 26 to 64, eliminating 10 four-bedded rooms and remodeling and redecorating 86 resident rooms. “We are deeply grateful to all of those in the community who continue to sup-

port Project Renew,” Lash said. “Project Renew is making it possible to sustain the Witherell’s 112-year tradition of serving our community’s needs and assisting our Town’s most vulnerable elderly residents.” — Bill Fallon

The deal marks KPMG’s sixth venture into HR via acquisition in the last four years. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The transaction was signed July 9 and is expected to close in the coming weeks. — Bill Fallon

Assessment questions aplenty with climate change

n a recent column in its “Property Tax and Valuation Topics: Summer 2015” report, Bridgeport-based law firm Pullman & Comley, with offices in the region, including in Stamford and White Plains, put forth questions rooted in climate change, which is increasingly losing its abstractness. The authors were attorneys Laura Bellotti Cardillo, Elliott B. Pollack, Gregory F. Servodidio and Tiffany Kouri Spinella, and the article was titled “The Environment and Property Taxes.” It said climate change is “quite likely” headed for front-burner status in property assessments on the Long Island Sound and asks what the development might mean for properties inland, as well. “It seems that many stakeholders are trying to deal with climate change,” the report said. “Connecticut’s hundreds of miles of coastline along the Long Island Sound include many low-lying areas, which scientists tell us will be hit by rising sea levels. The future market value of these properties and the scope of these changes must be taken into account, now or in the future, when appraisers do their work. “Will the sale prices of properties at lower elevations (more likely to be impacted by rising

sea levels) impact properties at higher elevations? What role do periodic FEMA flood map changes play in appraisal results? Will it be sufficient to simply refer to current maps or must appraisers examine trends and consider sources outside of FEMA materials? What impact will insurance underwriters’ decisions have on property values? “As premiums inevitably increase, insurance no longer becomes available, or only with inadequate coverages or vastly increased deductibles. How will the property market react? To the extent that market data do not display strong indications of climate change on current valuations, are appraisers nevertheless entitled/required to take these elements into consideration? “These and other questions remain to be explored in greater detail. What is quite likely, however, is that climate change will gradually move to occupy a front-burner position in property valuation determinations. The budgets of many cities with rising sea level exposure will inevitably suffer as waterfront properties, formerly large tax generators, become less valuable.” — Bill Fallon

Make time for midyear planning

ven with half of the year in the books, many small-business owners wait until December or January to assess their business and identify ways to improve its financial performance. Yet making time in June or July for a midyear checkin — when you have a good idea of your business’ needs — may be one of the best times to help your business save time and money, and operate more efficiently in the long run. As a banker, I see the benefits of doing a midyear review first hand. A midyear review can help a business owner evaluate what lies ahead on the fiscal horizon and plan accordingly. The key to making the review effective is to keep it focused on the outcomes you want. Here are five key areas every business owner should consider at midyear to help make the rest of the year a success.

EVALUATE BUSINESS EXPENSES

Understanding how profitable your business has been year to date can help you evaluate your current position and modify your financial goals as needed. If you don’t already do it, keep your business and personal accounts separate. Business checking and credit accounts that are kept separate from personal accounts can help you maintain accurate and complete records of all business-related income and expenses. Keeping separate records will also help you as you look for ways to minimize expenses and improve cash flow. A best practice is to track your cash flow on a monthly basis, which can help you improve cash flow projections and better plan for recurring expenses and business expansions.

ASSESS YOUR BUSINESS PLAN

Every small business should have a formal, written business plan to help with business decisions and strategic planning. According to a recent Wells Fargo survey, business owners who said they had a formal plan reported much greater optimism for 2015. If you don’t have one, or if your plan

hasn’t been updated in a long time, now is the time to consider writing or updating your business plan. The process of putting your goals in writing will help you focus on long-term business objectives and the steps needed to achieve them. (Among free online resources is the Business Plan Center that Wells Fargo offers).

PREPARE FOR TRANSITIONS

While you’re developing or refreshing your business plan, it’s also a good time to look at your transition plan. As a business owner, it’s never too early to start planning for the future. There are many options to think about — such as whether you want to sell your business, pass it to a family member, cash out now or wind down over time — which can make transition planning seem like a daunting task. For this reason, it’s helpful to start the process of exit planning several years before you plan to make the transition. Four important steps to complete when preparing a transition plan are: • identifying your business exit-planning goals and objectives; • determining what the company is worth; • identifying transition options, including sources of funding or financing for the transition; and • developing an implementation strategy and timeline.

RETHINK YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS

Now also is the time to evaluate all of the payment options you offer customers to determine needed updates, including whether to transition to chip card/EMV acceptance for credit card payments. Accepting advanced technologies like credit and debit cards embedded with chips (EMV cards) is one important step to strengthen security, and merchants are encouraged to upgrade their equipment by Oct. 1, when the fraud liability shift occurs. It’s important for smallbusiness owners to understand and research

this new payment method now so they are prepared by October.

THINK TAXES

It can be easy to lose sight of the need for year-round tax planning for your business. The more proactive you can be with managing and filing your tax returns, the better. Spend time reviewing your tax entries for the first half of the year to ensure you’ve captured all expenses, especially for things like

cars that are used for business and personal use. If you haven’t met with your tax professional recently, now is a good time to go over key filing dates and deadlines like quarterly tax payments, and staying organized and prepared on business taxes. Marcus Cobbe was recently named head of small-business strate�y for Connecticut, New York and New Jersey for Wells Fargo. He can be reached at marcus.j.cobbe@wellsfargo.com.

They challenge students AND provide the support they need to succeed. They take pride in making themselves available outside the classroom for one-on-one education, advice and guidance. As one student recently said, “There are great professors at CCSU who are willing to help out every step of the way.” CCSU professors are dedicated scholars and have won national and international awards for their scholarship, but they consider teaching their first calling. They are experts in their fields and they know how to make learning exciting and rewarding. Our low 16-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio keeps most classes small; nearly half have 20 or fewer students. This ensures that professors get to know their students as individuals. Our commitment to student success begins with providing the tools and the support to complete their degree in four years. Whether students choose to “finish in 4” or decide to take longer, our student support programs are designed to help! Our 18 NCAA Division I programs are a major source of campus pride and excitement. Blue Devil football, men’s basketball, women’s and men’s soccer, men’s track and cross country and our women’s swimming and diving teams have been frequent Northeast Conference Champions, with a slew of tournament trophies, too! The campus features several new academic buildings. A new residence hall, housing some 600 students, opens in fall 2015, and the entire campus is being renovated to provide one of the most attractive, convenient and modern campuses in the state. Central is the state’s oldest public university and we are proud of the University’s historical role as a significant resource for Connecticut. CCSU serves approximately 12,500 students—10,000 undergraduate and 2,500 graduate. Our distinguished alumni include successful business men and women, the first Latina state supreme court justice, CEOs in a wide range of industries and corporations, leading academics at national universities, award-winning educators and educational leaders, trainers and coaches at high schools and colleges as well as top NFL and MLB teams, journalists, novelists, artists—each and all demonstrating that success begins with CCSU.

Westchester Community College Supports Local Businesses

ESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE has always supported the business community and we continue to provide new resources to help bolster the local economy. This support includes credit classes for the thousands of credit students who move on after graduation to begin their careers in the local workforce. Several years ago, we opened the $40 million Gateway Center on the main campus in Valhalla, housing a variety of programs and services in an innovative and exciting learning environment. Gateway provides resources for students, including immigrants and international students, as well as businesses and community-based organizations. It encompasses the institution’s English Language Institute, the county’s largest English language acquisition program and the college’s business programs. As all of these various programs work together to form a synergistic whole, the business community benefits from a highly trained workforce, which will include many new employees. Meanwhile, the college has worked to replicate this effort on a national scale, creating the Community College Consor-

tium for Immigrant Education (CCCIE). It is raising the profile of immigrant education among community college administrators and educators and their professional associations. Teresita Bango Wisell, CCIE director and the college’s Vice President of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, has established a blue-ribbon panel of experts in the field of immigrant education. Together, they have organized a speakers’ bureau whose members present at various annual conferences. In addition to working on improving the local workforce through Gateway and CCCIE, the college’s Professional Development Center (PDC) continues to provide resources to serve business and industry through customized training and education. This while the college’s numerous academic programs provide knowledge for today’s and tomorrow’s workforce. Thousands of students at the county’s largest educational institution pursue studies in the business field, including marketing, business administration, retail management/fashion merchandising, telecommunications and computer networking.

Federal Grant Gives SCSU Nursing Ed Students a Shot in The Arm ‘FORGIVABLE’ LOANS OFFERED TO STUDENTS SEEKING TEACHING JOB

EW HAVEN – Students pursuing an advanced degree in nursing education at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) may have most of their tuition, fees and books paid for through a federal grant if they complete the program and become a nursing teacher. The federal Health Resources and Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Health Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded SCSU a $430,673 grant for loans to students enrolled in two degree programs – the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in nursing education and the Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) (nursing education track) for the 2015-16 academic year. The Ed.D. program is a collaborative project between SCSU and Western Connecticut State University, and students enrolled in that program at WCSU also are eligible for the loans. The loans are deemed partially “forgivable,” meaning that a portion of the money will not have to be paid back if students finish their degree requirements and work as a faculty member at an accredited school of nursing for one to four years. Students who teach for one year after earning their degree will have 20 percent of their loan forgiven. That proportion rises to 40 percent after two years of teaching, 60 percent after three years and 85 percent after four years. “We are delighted to be a recipient of this federal grant for the third time in the last four years,” said Barbara Aronson, SCSU professor of nursing and coordinator of its Ed.D. in nursing education program. “This is the most amount of money that we’ve received and it’s the first time that our master’s degree students are eligible. This award helps in our efforts to increase the number of highly qualified nurses at a time of a worsening nursing shortage.” Aronson said she anticipates about 15 students will be enrolled in the M.S.N. in nursing education program this fall. In addition, 13 students are finishing their dissertations in the Ed.D. program this fall, while another 18 students also are enrolled. Patricia Zibluk, director of SCSU’s Sponsored Programs and Research, noted that the university will provide an 11-percent grant match ($47,853), bringing the total amount of loan money available to the nursing students to $478,526. “Collectively, over the last several years,

Two Programs. Endless Possibilities.

about $1 million in loans have been made available to our nursing students,” Zibluk said. “That goes a long way in helping to generate more nursing educators, which in turns, allows us to teach more nursing students.” Students are required to take 51 credits to complete the Ed.D. program, which consists of on-line courses that are taken on a parttime basis. It typically takes about three years and a total cost of about $50,000 to complete the program.

“WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE A RECIPIENT OF THIS FEDERAL GRANT FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS ... THIS AWARD HELPS IN OUR EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED NURSES AT A TIME OF A WORSENING NURSING SHORTAGE.”

— BARBARA ARONSON

Flexible MBA Offerings The nursing education track for M.S.N. students consists of 42 to 45 credits, which can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. The cost for students typically runs about $30,000 to complete the program, depending upon whether they are full- or part-time and how many courses they take per semester. Zibluk noted that when SCSU first applied for the grant in 2012, only Ph.D. programs were eligible. But she said that once Southern explained how Ed.D. programs actually were more targeted to help increase nurse educators, such programs were added to the eligibility list. In 2012, SCSU launched one of only a handful of Ed.D. nursing education programs in the country. Most doctoral programs fall under the Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) or D.N.P. (Doctor of Nursing Practice) categories. The former focuses on research, while the latter centers on clinical skills. But the Ed.D. program is geared toward developing nursing teachers.

Traditional MBA offered evenings (full or part-time); accelerated MBA offered Saturdays (in a hybrid format; online and classroom). • State-of the-art facility featuring high-tech trading room, class and seminar rooms, and conference space. • Outstanding faculty, vibrant connection to the business community.

Feds Propose Overtime Regulation Changes

Are Paychecks Good Security for an Employee Loan?

he U.S. Department of Labor is proposing to update the regulations governing which executive, administrative, and professional employees (white collar workers) are entitled to the Fair Labor Standards Act’s minimum wage and overtime pay protections.

The DOL last updated these regulations in 2004, and the current salary threshold for exemption is $455 per week ($23,660 per year). With this proposed rule, the DOL seeks to update the salary level required for exemption to ensure that the FLSA’s intended overtime protections are fully implemented, and to simplify the identification of nonexempt employees, thus making the executive, administrative and professional employee exemption easier for employers and workers to understand and apply. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking focuses primarily on updating the salary and compensation levels needed for white collar workers to be exempt. Specifically, the DOL proposes to:  Set the standard salary level at the 40th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salaried workers ($921 per week, or $47,892 annually)  Increase the total annual compensation requirement needed to exempt highly compensated employees (HCEs) to the annualized value of the 90th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers ($122,148 annually); and

 Establish a mechanism for automatically updating the salary and compensation levels going forward to ensure that they will continue to provide a useful and effective test for exemption. The DOL’s proposal to set the standard salary level at the 40th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salaried workers represents the most appropriate line of demarcation between exempt and nonexempt employees. This salary level minimizes the risk that employees legally entitled to overtime will be subject to misclassification based solely on the salaries they receive, without excluding from exemption an unacceptably high number of employees who meet the duties test. As proposed, this would raise the salary threshold from $455 a week (the equivalent of $23,660 a year) to about $970 a week ($50,440 a year) in 2016. The DOL is also proposing to automatically update the standard salary and HCE total annual compensation requirements to ensure that they remain meaningful tests for distinguishing between bona fide executive, administrative, and professional workers who are not entitled to overtime and overtime-protected white collar workers. Experience has shown that the salary level test is an effective measure of exempt status only if it is up to date.  Read more at cbia.com

EDUCATION

Students Ship New Power System to Nepal

ower systems designed and built by students at Hartford Public High School’s Academy of Engineering and Green Technology began a long journey July 10 to two remote villages in Nepal. The hybrid wind and solar systems will bring electricity for the first time to the Himalayan villages of Namdo and Karang. Yaks will transport the power systems over the final stretch of the 11,000-mile journey to the remote mountain villages. A team of 18 AEGT students worked throughout the year on the project, helping raise about $100,000 to fund development, shipping, and installation of the systems. This is the academy’s second Nepal project, after a team of eight students designed and built a

solar/wind turbine in 2013 that now powers a school and a birthing center in Saldang. Both projects were made possible with support from the Hartford-based Werth Family Foundation and a number of Connecticut corporations As a National Academy Foundation (NAF) school, Hartford Public High School’s Academy of Engineering and Green Technology is required to provide students with work-based learning experiences. CBIA’s Education Foundation works with the school to provide those opportunities, and the Nepal projects represent how students gain that experience. The school is sponsored by United Technologies Corp.  Read more at cbia.com

If your company’s name includes the words bank and trust, credit union, savings and loan, or some other reference to financial services, and employees are permitted or encouraged to use the organization’s products or services, you should structure the relationships (employer-employee, creditor-debtor) so that each is independently managed under proper standards and will survive the termination of the other. If you are not in financial services, approach employee loan arrangements with caution. Becoming a creditor of your employees adds another complicating element to the relationship if all is not going well. Nevertheless, loaning money to employees is a common practice, and repayment typically takes the form of deductions from periodic paychecks and/or a final paycheck. In either case, you should be familiar with the state law (CGS 31-71e) that makes clear how deductions from employee paychecks should be handled in a variety of circumstances. The relevant text of that law forbids withholding any portion of an employee’s paycheck “unless (1) the employer is required or empowered to do so by state or federal law, or (2) the employer has written authorization from the employee for deductions on a form approved by the [labor] commissioner, or (3) the deductions are authorized by the employee, in writing, for medical, surgical or hospital care or service…” Your situation falls into the second scenario and requires the employee’s written permission on a form approved by the state Department of Labor. You might consider adding the following short statement to the form (taken from another form used to document repayment of vacation pay advances): “Allow the company to deduct any amount which I owe from my last paycheck and/or any future commission checks which may be due to me after the termination of my employment.”  HR Hotline is a free service for CBIA members
