Community Health Center expanding Stamford presence

W Residences at malls: An idea whose time has come?

A Renderings of the plan to add residences to the Westfield Trumbull mall.

s the leaders and residents of Trumbull deliberate on whether to approve the Westfield Trumbull mall’s proposal to add luxury apartments to its property, real estate brokers and consultants said that such a move is becoming a more common occurrence in today’s shifting retail environment.

“Everything is changing and morphing into the new reality,” said Richard Latella, executive managing director of Cushman & Wakefield.

“There are cycles involved, and another cycle is happening now, where

downtowns are thriving again — people are interested in moving to the center of town so businesses are opening there. They’re listening to what consumers want.”

So too are prudent mall operators, Latella said. “The days of the cookie-cutter mall are gone. The bigger ones, as well as the ones being built, are generally looking to become more of a destination with something to offer beyond just retail.”

Mark Hunter, managing director of retail asset services, the Americas at CBRE, agreed. “What is happening in Connecticut and elsewhere is that retail shopping habits have » TRUMBULL

hen Community Health Center decided last year that its Stamford location was no longer sufficient to deliver the kind of health care upon which its reputation has been made, its search for a new site ended less than a mile away.

“I love Stamford,” said Mark Masselli, founder, president and CEO of the nonprofit. “The energy and diversity that’s there, the inordinate amount of intellectual and social capital. It’s a community that seems to work and yet still feels a need to make itself better. It’s a great place for us to put our oar in the water.”

CHC broke ground on its 20,000-square-foot facility at 22 Fifth St. last fall. Although it had previously been the home of another medical office, Masselli said that the result — expected to be completed by October or November — will “essentially be a new building.”

Meanwhile, it will maintain its presence in its 7,000-square-foot building at 141 Franklin St., which will continue to offer dentistry as well as some urgent care services, he said.

CHC has experienced impressive growth since its 1972 launch in a second-floor walkup in Middletown, where it is still headquartered. (“Even though, with today’s technology, you’re sort of headquartered wherever you are,” Masselli remarked.) » STAMFORD

Indeed’s growth in Stamford fueled by state support

BY PAUL SCHOTT Hearst Connecticut Media Group

A

year ago, Indeed executives and state officials gathered at the job-search company’s downtown Stamford headquarters to announce an eight-figure package of state aid to support the addition of 500 positions. Twelve months later, the firm is already about a third of the way to its goal.

The growth of Indeed offers hope for a state beset by a protracted economic recovery that it can attract and keep major technology businesses. Indeed officials cite the central location of their Stamford hub and access to a large pool of skilled workers as key reasons for their rapid expansion in the city — a trajectory that state officials and community leaders are keen to see other companies emulate.

“We’ve been growing globally very aggressively for many years, and I think the last year has been a continuation of that,” Indeed Chief Operating Officer Dave O’Neill said in an interview at Indeed’s offices at 177 Broad St. “Stamford has been a great place for us to attract talent.”

Since its 2004 founding, Indeed has maintained its largest East Coast offices in Stamford, alongside its global headquarters in Austin, Texas.

In the past 14 years, the company has developed into the self-described “No. 1 job site in the world.”

More than 200 million people use indeed.com each month to search for jobs, post resumes and research companies.

The company has quadrupled its worldwide headcount in the past three years. It now employs about 6,700 in 27 offices around the world.

Its growth in Stamford has been equally striking. When the firm moved to 177 Broad in 2011, it took a half-floor for about 50 employees. About 850 now occupy eight levels— up about 150 from a year ago — and the company is building out a ninth floor. The firm aims to eventually employ about 1,200 in Stamford.

‘SUCCESS STORY’

Millennial employees make up a large swath of the total, with the company drawing heavily from area universities and other colleges with graduates who have tri-state roots.

“We believe that southwestern Connecticut is a great place for peo-

ple to live and work and build their lives,” said Nolan Farris, Indeed’s senior vice president of sales. “We think we’re able to continue to attract a highly educated, tech-savvy employee base.”

Sales and “client success” customer service departments compose the largest departments in Stamford.

Employees work in open layouts. The chatter of headset-clad sales team members on calls with clients fills the floors.

Festive flourishes help to lighten the atmosphere. A small gong is rung, accompanied by a theme song for the closer, whenever a sale is made.

“We just want to create an environment where people feel comfortable and can be themselves,” Farris said.

As Indeed has grown, it has also woven itself more into the downtown workday tableau outside its offices.

Indeed staffers wearing blue shirts with the slogan “I help people get jobs” proliferate on sidewalks in the city center.

Last month, the company installed a 33-by-9-foot sign with its name on top of the building at 177 Broad.

“Indeed is a great success story in terms of being able to find a location that allows them to grow,” said Jackie Lightfield, executive director of the nonprofit Stamford Partnership, which focuses on developing the city’s business community. “The more companies you have in your region that scale rapidly and are able to grow, it simply attracts other companies looking

to achieve the same success.”

STATE LOAN, TAX CREDITS

To support its Stamford expansion, Indeed is receiving from the state a $7 million loan and up to $15 million in tax credits. The loan would be fully forgivable if the company were to create 500 additional jobs between 2017 and 2030 and meet intermediate targets.

The state aid accompanies a $26.5 million company investment in the Stamford hub.

During his visit last year to the Indeed offices, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy suggested that those who blamed state officials for the 2016 relocation of GE’s headquarters from Fairfield to Boston should rally around efforts to retain and grow firms like Indeed.

“It’s a good, strong investment,” Malloy said. “If people complain about a loan forgiveness that totals that little money for 500 jobs ... then they should stop reporting on things like GE.” The deal has also garnered strong support in the state legislature, although some have quibbled about the details of the agreement.

“While the overall investment seems reasonable, I think the state could have negotiated a little harder on the tax credit amount,” said state Sen. L. Scott Frantz, a Greenwich Republican and co-chairman of the legislature’s Commerce Committee. “And I would have much preferred to see it as a repayable loan, as opposed to a potentially forgivable loan.

Having said that, I think it is wonderful that Indeed is in Stamford, and we stand by to support them

going forward.”

State Rep. Caroline Simmons, a Stamford Democrat and co-chairwoman of the Commerce Committee, said she also supported the deal.

“However, we need to ensure that the state is getting the greatest return on investment possible and that when other companies get support from the state, that they commit to staying here and continuing to create jobs,” Simmons said.

At the same time, Indeed is growing in Austin. Already employing about 1,600 in the Texas capital, the company announced in May it would add up to 3,000 jobs there during the next few years.

Indeed is not receiving state subsidies for the Austin expansion.

INFRASTRUCTURE WORK

The state continues to recruit tech companies. Earlier this month, Seven Stars Cloud Group committed to building a headquarters on the site of the University of Connecticut’s former campus in West Hartford.

Backed by a $10 million state loan, the Seven Stars project is expected to create 330 jobs during the next five years.

But Connecticut’s tech sector is still grappling with growing pains.

Last year, the state Department of Economic and Community Development submitted an unsuccessful bid for Amazon’s planned second headquarters, with Stamford and the Hartford areas as its proposed locations.

Many saw the state’s inability to make the short list of finalists for Amazon HQ2 as a reflection of structural problems. Chronic instability with the state’s finances and aging transportation infrastructure in southwestern Connecticut rank among the top obstacles to doing business in the state.

“What will give our state’s economy the single largest boost in growth is investment in rail, highway and telecoms infrastructure,” said Joe McGee, vice president of public policy for The Business Council of Fairfield County.

Indeed executives, however, remain bullish about their plan to scale up to 1,200 employees in Stamford within the next few years.

“We’re well on pace to meet the obligations,” O’Neill said. “We’re very optimistic.”

Bridgeport’s 1000 Lafayette an anomaly in city’s office market

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

W

ith Bridgeport’s office space market essentially flat, Avison Young is getting creative in its pitches to potential tenants for 1000 Lafayette Blvd.

The Stamford commercial real estate services firm, is touting the property’s available office space — ranging from 2,100 square feet to a full floor of approximately 23,000 square feet — as something “that reduces commuting stress and offers varied amenities.”

“It’s a rare building for Bridgeport,” said Christopher Grundy, a senior associate at Avison Young’s Fairfield/Westchester office in Stamford, which represents building owner Shelbourne Global Solutions LLC. “There are really only a couple of Class A buildings in downtown Bridgeport. But there’s a growing number of great features and activities in the area that make it very attractive.”

Indeed, the city’s Steelepointe Harbor — a 2.8 million-square-foot waterfront development whose first phase of construction is scheduled to be completed this fall — promises residential, restaurant, retail and commercial uses along with plenty of open space and entertainment options.

Apartment complex Cherry Street Lofts, which also will encompass the Great Oaks charter school, has begun leasing units.

And the redevelopment of the Downtown North neighborhood, after a number of sporadic starts and stops, is continuing.

It’s all part of what Mayor Joe Ganim called “$1 billion worth of new investments” in Bridgeport during his remarks at the recent groundbreaking for its Harbor Yard Amphitheater.

All of which may be exciting — but what about office space?

“When it comes to Bridgeport, there is sufficient existing available office space in cities like Stamford, Norwalk and Stratford,” said Christian Bangert, executive vice president and partner at RHYS in Stamford.

“Even though office vacancy rates in Fairfield County are now lower than they have been in a while, there is still enough existing office space, as well as factories and red-brick properties that can be repurposed or reused as office, residential or retail on the ground/office and residential above” in those other cities, he said.

With Stamford, Bangert noted, “You’re close to the train station and highway access, which is valuable for larger companies looking at a number of employees commuting from New York City.”

Bridgeport also has a Metro-North presence, of course, but while the Stamfordto-Grand Central trip usually takes a little more than an hour, the same trek from Bridgeport can take 90 minutes or more.

“The transportation to Bridgeport is easy,” Grundy insisted. “It’s really simple to take public transportation to downtown,

and it’s safe to walk.”

Safety plays an important part in marketing 1000 Lafayette; it is, after all, the location of an FBI office. “There’s fantastic, 24/7 security there,” Grundy said.

Other tenants include law firms Ryan Ryan & Deluca and Zeldes Needle Cooper, along with engineering consulting group COWI North America and White Rose Hoe Healthcare Agency.

Avison Young further touts the number of restaurants, brew houses, museums, comedy clubs, theaters, shopping, transportation and a library near 1000 Lafayette, as well as McLevy Green, which offers concerts, festivals and a farmers market during the summer, and the Housatonic Museum of Art at 900 Lafayette.

“Downtown Bridgeport has as much to offer to businesses as any other town in

Fairfield County,” said Avison Young Vice President Lori Baker. “There are always things going on and a lot for employees to do.”

As for amenities, Grundy said the building includes a complimentary fitness facility with lockers and showers, conference facilities, covered parking, banking, dry cleaning and a café that offers catering.

Tenants will find four parking spaces, rather than the usual two or three, per 1,000 square feet of leased space, he said.

Nevertheless, Grundy said, Avison Young has no other Class A office properties in Bridgeport at this time — a couple of deals may be announced in the coming weeks, he said — while Building and Land Technology, a major real estate player in surrounding cities, has no office presence in Connecticut’s most populous municipality.

Suite Talk Laurence A. Caso, executive director of The Klein Memorial Auditorium

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

D

o you see this?” asked Laurence A. Caso, pointing to a piano in the corner of the green room at The Klein Memorial Auditorium.

“Leonard Bernstein played that piano when he performed here. Victor Borge played that piano. Duke Ellington played it, too.”

If anything, the celebrated Bridgeport performing arts venue has not been lacking in a stellar history.

Since its opening in 1940, the 1,447-seat theater has hosted varied show business icons ranging from Paul Robeson to Alice Cooper to George Carlin to country music star Lyle Lovett, who is returning for his third engagement at The Klein on Aug. 9.

Caso, who became The Klein’s executive director in 2014 after an Emmy Awardwinning career as a CBS producer and executive, is now preparing The Klein for its next chapter, with upgrades to expand its current offerings and a focus on young talent who could become the next generation of performing stars. In this Suite Talk edition, reporter Phil Hall discusses The Klein’s notable past and gets a sneak peek at what the future holds for this nonprofit center.

Where does The Klein Memorial Auditorium fit in Fairfield County’s cultural landscape?

“We’re a regional performing arts center, so we draw audiences from all over Fairfield County. And now we’re drawing from New Haven, Hartford and even Springfield, Massachusetts.

We’ve really widened the circle, depending on the programming that we offer.

Jacob Klein (the lawyer who founded the venue) wanted it to be a community performing hub for the per-

forming arts, offering affordable entertainment. I think that we live up to that.”

It may be a community hub, but it is certainly not your typical community theater with nearly 1,500 seats. How do you work to ensure sold-out houses?

“I don’t think the goal is to always have sold-out houses. The goal is to serve the community so that they have a place where they can be entertained. But, at the same time, maybe there is the need to provide something for education that can enrich the quality of life, which the arts plays a very important role.”

What is The Klein’s approach to programming?

“The Klein has primarily operated as a rental house, where promoters come in and rent. So, our reve-

FCBJ

nue comes from the rental fee. We vet the promoters for their work history and make sure it is going to be somebody who is going to be responsible and will live up to the obligations of a professional job, and who will do the kind of marketing you need to do to get the word out that a particular event is happening.

When we self-present, which started pretty much after I came on board in 2014, we do three or four events a year as our presentation. I always look at it through the parameter of what audience we are serving and is that something we have done before. I always look for some kind of element that is an added bonus for the community.

Back in 2014, when we had the Vienna Boys Choir here, the mayor at the time,

Jacob Klein (the lawyer who founded the venue) wanted it to be a community performing hub for the performing arts, offering affordable entertainment.

I think that we live up to that.

Bill Finch, issued a proclamation and presented it at intermission declaring it Vienna Boys Choir Day in Bridgeport. It was a framed certificate that is now hanging in the rehearsal hall in Vienna. So, in a way, we brought the two cities together, and that’s a little added dimension that makes it all the more special.”

How does The Klein view its competition from other venues, both in Bridgeport and across the region?

“I don’t see us in a competition or a bidding war for talent. I think it’s terrific we’re all out here doing this, just drawing audience to live performing arts. The more of that goes on, the healthier.”

This

summer,

The

Klein hosted youth theater productions of “Miss Saigon” and “Mary Poppins.” What is the importance of youth theater at the theater?

“Over half of the events that take place in this theater are performances of people under the age of 25. I’m very proud of that. Youth needs a place to go, and we’re one of seven Broadway-sized stages left in Connecticut. So, the experience of being on this stage is incomparable to them, and it something they’re going to remember.

Since I’ve taken this job, I don’t think I’ve gone more than two weeks without someone that I meet telling me, ‘Oh, when I was in second grade I was on that stage.’ There is some connection here that’s a touchstone for them — it’s a marker in their life. That’s what we’re doing for these young people now. It’s something that they will look back on later in life and have an attachment to.

Also, we are about to enter the sixth year of Klein Theater Arts, a tuition-free afterschool arts education program for sixth through twelfth graders. In 2013, the board put together a strategic five-year plan and it was the first item on our wish list. Three days a week, students receive instruction in singing, dancing and acting taught by arts professionals in those fields. Two years ago, we created the Klein Dance Company for the students most passionate about dance, and they have two rehearsals a week. This summer, they have 10 bookings of public performances, where they’re out in the community dancing. That’s a big thing for them.

And 18 months ago, we created technical production course for students who want to learn stage lighting and audio and set construction. That’s for high-school-

Citrin Cooperman Corner Supreme Court Rules On Wayfair Online Sales Tax Case

BY EUGENE RUVERE AND MICHAEL FREEL that in 1992, when Quill was decided, the Court could not have envisioned that an online seller would become the world’s largest retailer.

More than 20 states have enacted some form of remote seller sales tax rules. Some of these apply currently, and some will go into effect in the not-too-distant future.

ers and taught by our union stagehands and a set designer. Through this program, we have five paid interns who work beside our stagehands on Klein events.”

I’ve noticed some construction around the theater. What upgrades are underway?

“In November 2016, the state’s bond commission awarded us $2.65 million for badly needed technical upgrades to help us diversify our programming and improve it. This includes a new state-of-the-art audio system, which we’ve not had — if we had a big rock ’n’ roll concert, our promoters are spending up to $7,500 per concert renting equipment that we’re now going to have. That means we’ll have more promoters and more concerts.

Thanks to the bond, we are installing new carpeting and an elevator, which we never had. Plus, we will have a new conference room and some new offices as we expand our staff. And we already put out a digital display on the marquee — we’ve had people tell us they heard about the event because they were driving by the Klein and heard about the event.

We’ll also have a digital video projection system, which we haven’t had — I turned down three or four film festivals in the last three years because we didn’t have the equipment for it. Now, we can run film series and film festivals.

Two weeks ago, we kicked it off when the Diocese of

Bridgeport had a screening of ‘The Sound of Music’ as a sing-along. It was really grand.”

Are you planning more cinematic offerings?

“We’re not going to be a first-run movie theater — that’s not our mission. But I think we’ll doing special screenings tied to a specific event.”

How many shows does The Klein feature per year?

“Actual shows? I would say about 150. When I joined the board of directors in 2010, we looked at the calendar and figured out that in 2010 this building was in use for only 65 days. In 2017, this building was in use 351 days, and about 150 of those were paid event performances.”

Why did you decide in 2014 to accept the job of executive director?

“My career was in network television. I’ve done that for many years, both as a network executive and producer. What has always driven me was the 1934 Telecommunications Act, which said broadcasters must serve in the public interest. I take that seriously, and the challenge to have The Klein serve that role in this region was really appealing to me.

It wasn’t a life plan — the board came to me and asked me about taking over as executive director. I have one outstanding commitment to public television for a documentary called ‘The Other Side of War,’ about the totally unknown humani-

tarian deeds that American servicemen and women performed during the Vietnam War and afterward. I’ve started it and will get done in the next 18 months or two years.”

What is The Klein’s revenue and staff numbers?

For revenue, we’re around the half-million-dollar mark, and that’s contributed and earned income. We have three full time and two part time.”

What’s on tap for The Klein this fall?

“All of our resident companies — the Greater Bridgeport Symphony, New England Ballet Company, ConnectUs, Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras and Fairfield County Children’s Choir — are starting their new seasons, which is always exciting. We’ve got two comedians, Elizardi Castro and Vic DiBitetto, coming here: it’s Vic’s first show here and Elizardi’s fourth. On Nov. 3rd, we are restoring opera here: The Gateway Classical Musical Society out of Greenwich, with professional musicians and singers, are going to do a concert recital of ‘Aida.’

Opera hasn’t been performed in this building in about 20 years. And the night after that, we have ‘The Incredible Acrobats of China’ here.”

Considering your television background, have you considered taping some of the productions staged here?

“The answer is yes and I’m already exploring it.”

EUGENE RUVERE AND MICHAEL FREEL The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Wayfair case has left many business owners with much confusion and uncertainty on how to address its effect on online sales tax. There are three basic options available to multi-state businesses that now find themselves subject to these new remote seller rules: 1. Panic and register in every state that imposes a sales tax; 2. Do nothing and wait for the states to catch you; or 3. Conduct a “Wayfair analysis.”

In this article, we will be covering the facts of the recent ruling; what business owners should be doing now to comply with the new sales tax requirements; and how performing a thorough “Wayfair analysis” can be an effective approach to guide you in making the best decisions.

THE FINAL RULING On June 21, 2018, a closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court issued a highly-anticipated decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair. The ruling holds that states can require online retailers and other out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax, upending over two decades of legal precedent.

Impacted businesses include software vendors, equipment retailers, information sellers, and any other business remotely selling goods or services that are subject to sales tax.

Prior to the Wayfair decision, a state was prohibited from imposing a sales tax collection requirement on a seller, unless that seller had a physical presence in that state, pursuant to the 1992 Supreme Court ruling in Quill Corporation v. North Dakota. With a 5-4 Wayfair decision, the Supreme Court struck down Quill’s in-state physical presence requirement.

The South Dakota law at issue in Wayfair requires remote sellers that have either (1) over 200 annual transactions or (2) at least $100,000 of annual sales in South Dakota, to collect the State’s sales tax. The Court found that these collection thresholds were not a prohibited burden on interstate commerce.

The Court also noted that the states were losing billions of dollars in sales tax revenue as a result of the physical presence rule, and

We anticipate that most states without remote seller sales tax statutes already in place will eventually adopt standards similar to South Dakota’s.

THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFUSION AND ERRORS IS HIGH Many businesses will be subject to sales tax registration, collection, remittance, and reporting requirements in multiple states that were never considered before. In order to comply with the new sales tax requirements, we recommend that you seek guidance from an experienced state and local tax professional to initially determine the following: • Whether your company has any historical sales tax exposure; • Prospective sales tax collection responsibilities under the new rules; and • Which sales tax registrations should be prioritized based on a number of weighted factors.

An experienced tax advisor can guide you in taking the following steps: 1. Analyzing your company’s current sales tax compliance requirements.

2. Determining the compatibility of your current accounting system with a sales taxability matrix.

3. Establishing a cost-efficient process to register your company in the necessary states.

4. Developing a cost-efficient compliance approach.

By taking these steps, a company can make an informed decision on how to best address the effects, if any, of the Wayfair case. If you have questions about how to comply with the sales tax requirements for your business in light of the Supreme Court’s decision, please contact your Citrin Cooperman advisor.

changed. Some of it has to do with e-commerce, but more of it has to do with omnichannel shopping (allowing consumers to buy through brick-and-mortar stores, online or on social media) and trending towards more experiential-type shopping.”

The two-story, 1.1 million-square-foot Westfield Trumbull, which first opened in 1964, is making efforts at updating its shopping experience both with the traditional (an 11,000-squarefoot Ulta Beauty cosmetics and salon, due to open in September) and the nontraditional (a 20,000-squarefoot SeaQuest, an interactive aquarium that’s made inroads at other malls around the country, currently under construction).

But it is its proposal to add 290 apartments to its property at 5065 Main St. that has been the cause of some consternation in Trumbull. To achieve that, the town must grant a zoning change, basically from a mixed-use property to a mixed-use design district.

In May, First Selectman Vicki Tesoro issued a statement assuring residents concerned about traffic, overdevelopment and other issues that her administration was committed to doing right by its residents. “The more

Today it offers comprehensive primary care services in medicine, dentistry and behavioral health to more than 145,000 people at 14 Connecticut locations.

In addition, its affiliated Weitzman Institute has expanded CHC’s reach in 37 states through programs like the Community eConsult Network, which allows primary care providers to consult electronically with specialists to determine if an office visit to the latter is needed; the firm’s research has found that about 70 percent of consults result in patients merely needing another visit with their doctor, Masselli said. Such consultation requests are usually completed within 48 hours, he added.

Trumbull can control our own destiny, the better we are for it,” she wrote.

Part of the problem, Tesoro told the Business Journal last week, was a lack of transparency from Westfield, whose original proposal for 580 units was quickly shot down. It was only at a July 19 public Planning and Zoning Commission that specifics were provided, including blueprints, she said.

“Showing us their conceptual plans was big,” Tesoro said. “It was important to have something that everyone could actually see.

It really went a long way.”

The proposed 290 units would be one- and two-bedroom apartments in seven four-story buildings — Westfield emphasized that that could change as the project inevitably evolves on its way to ultimate approval — with residents provided an opportunity to rent a garage and/or other storage space. Developers, which include Beverly Hills-based Rose Equities and Short Hills, New Jersey’s Garden Homes, are also aiming to provide a clubhouse/gym, pool and meeting room.

Westfield representative Stanley Gniazdowski said at the July 19 meeting that the company estimates that upon completion the structures would bring in $601,000 in annual tax rev-

“We began 46 years ago as a volunteer organization,” he said. “Today we’re in a position to attract talented people from as far away as New York City, which again is something made easier by being in Stamford. Nearly all of our employees are full time.”

CHC caters mostly to the underserved and those who cannot normally afford office visits. Masselli noted that it offers a “sliding fee” program to help patients set up payment schedules.

That approach is possible through grants and private donations, he said, noting that about 85 percent of its roughly $100 million annual budget comes from the latter. CHC only began accepting direct government assistance in the early 1990s, Masselli said.

enue. The mall is already the town’s largest taxpayer, with its 76 acres assessed at more than $209 million and appraised at about $299 million.

“We’ve been partners with the mall for years,” Tesoro told the Business Journal. “Continuing to have a relationship that works well is better for both of us.”

Economic and Community Development Director Rina Bakalar noted that the next public meeting on the proposal will take place on Aug. 15, with that process scheduled to close by Aug. 25. “If zoning approves, they then have to file a site plan application and then back to zoning,” she said.

For its part, Westfield is already engaged in similar projects around the world.

“As the company increasingly incorporates modern residential options into a number of global projects, we aim to create dynamic new communities where people can live, work, dine, be entertained and relax in the same neighborhood,” spokesperson Kate Sirignano said.

Westfield was acquired

by Paris-based UnibailRodamco last year for $15.7 billion, which has since been “reviewing” its 102 malls worldwide.

“Unibail-Rodamco Westfield’s aspiration for the future is not to just remake the modern mall, but to more

broadly impact its communities by providing retail, office and residential space — all in one place,” Sirignano said.

She cited as an example the firm’s $1.5 billion Promenade 2035 project, which she said will “help create a new downtown for the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles.”

That plan would transform the San Fernando Valley’s Warner Center district into a mixed-use, transit-oriented downtown environment “where new neighborhoods of tree-lined streets lead to vibrant avenues, and where big boulevards are broken up into intimate and accessible neighborhoods,” she said.

But that project too has run into resistance from residents on perceived construction-related air-quality emissions, noise and traffic, as well as over the potential impact of its 15,000-seat entertainment and sports center. That Promenade 2035’s name includes its proposed completion date indicates how long such transformations can take to complete.

Meanwhile, last month Eatontown, New Jersey officials approved a plan to redevelop its Monmouth Mall that would include the construction of 700 apartments, while the King of Prussia (Pennsylvania) Mall announced late last year plans to build 390 apart-

ments on its property.

Hunter at CBRE said that such mixed uses have been commonplace at European malls for a number of years. “We’re a little behind, but we’re catching up with the whole shopwork-live-play movement,” he said. “Today people, especially millennials but also baby boomers, want to live closer to where they work and where they shop than in the past.

“Municipalities that recognize that and work with a shopping center to achieve that will be rewarded,” he continued, “not just by providing a better experience but also by an increase in real estate, sales and payroll tax income.”

Hunter said that CBRE has a “mixed-use strike team” that works with malls and shopping centers around the U.S. to stay relevant in the current — and, they hope, future — retail environment.

“A lot of it is entertainment-related,” he said.

“Today, food and beverage is entertainment. Malls have had movie theaters for years, but now they’re looking at having bigger screens.

SeaQuest and other nontraditional entertainment is becoming much more popular. Over the last 10 years you’ve seen a number of new upscale bowling concepts like Punch Bowl, Bowl-

One key employee is Adele Gordon, a founding member of The Connecticut Association of Children with Learning Disabilities (CACLD) at the Stamford Public Education Foundation. In 1999 she was part of a group that

opened The Dental Center of Stamford, which again catered to those otherwise unable to afford such care; it officially joined CHC in 2005.

Although the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a subject of ongoing debate, Masselli said he

felt confident that the need for CHC — and fairly priced health care in general — isn’t going anywhere.

“Health coverage and access are important to every American,” he said.

“The Affordable Care Act is part of a long continuum in

A-Rama and Lucky Strike arrive.”

Latella at Cushman said that rumors of the death of the shopping mall have been greatly exaggerated. “Today, there are 1,100 to 1,200 malls in the country, which has been the case for the past couple of decades. It hasn’t really changed significantly.

Weaker malls may have been closed down but the better malls are always looking for creative ways to evolve.”

In addition, Latella said reports of the “retail apocalypse” are “overblown.

Retail is changing, but it’s not dying. Someone once said that change is not an option in retail — it’s a job requirement.”

Good news then for the SoNo Collection, the $525 million, 700,000-square-foot megamall in Norwalk scheduled to open in October 2019.

Latella said he believed the region’s demographics could work in its favor.

“You’ve got solid anchor stores in Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s,” which combined will take up over 300,000 square feet, he said.

“They’re making big bets in Norwalk because they’re not opening a lot of stores otherwise. And they’re promising another 80 or so stores — presumably those will include the kinds of nontraditional attractions we’ve been talking about.”

this space. Medicare wasn’t perfect when it first went out — there have been plenty of changes to it over the years.”

The ACA could also use improvements, he continued, but “I think it’s a settled matter for most of the public, that there is a role for state, local and the federal government to play in providing health coverage for all Americans.”

In addition to its new Stamford location, Masselli said the firm is in the process of purchasing the space it has been renting at 49 Day St. in Norwalk. It also maintains a Danbury office at 8 Delay St. “There’s a very diverse population in Fairfield County,” he said. “If we think there’s a good fit for us, we will absolutely consider opening more there. We’re hoping to continue to grow.”

ASK ANDI | Andi Gray

Recovering from a loss in sales We have been slowly losing revenue from our biggest account and it’s now starting to hurt our business. I just don’t know where to go from here. It’s been a huge part of our business for a long time.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Losing revenue that you’ve come to count on really hurts. Buy yourself time to get out of the hole you’re in.

If your small business has been dealing with a topheavy mix of one or two big customers, here’s an opportunity to rightsize the mix to your advantage. One way to keep your business safe is to keep your top five customers below 25 percent of your total revenue and all individual accounts below 8 percent of total revenue.

Andi Gray

That way, you’re in a stronger position to negotiate with a large customer that starts making unrealistic demands. There’s less of a hole to fill if one big customer cuts back on orders or goes away altogether.

And you have less accounts receivables exposure if big accounts use their clout to demand carrying terms.

Take a close look as well at the vertical markets that your company serves. How many customers and how much volume comes from

one industry? Spread out to serve multiple industries and you reduce risk if one vertical market hits a downturn.

Serve equally at least four to five vertical markets and your company is safer than if it relies on one or two markets for most or all of its revenue.

Realistically assess how much time you have before things could get dicey. Make cost cuts if you have to. Pay down lines of credit. Decide if you’ll need funds to get through this period and if so ask for credit line increases now.

Start asking questions to find out how vulnerable you are with other clients. Ask customers if they’re planning to consolidate work with fewer vendors, and if so, how soon. Are any clients heavily concentrated with their own big customers or in specific industries? If so, how vulnerable are they to a downturn?

Talk to sales and purchasing people to get answers.

Assess the quality of your sales pipeline and sales and marketing team. Most companies get into customer concentration trouble because sales as a whole isn’t strong enough or disciplined enough. Beef that up now, assess whether that’s with people and/or processes.

Here’s the good news.

Keeping a big customer for a substantial period is a signal that your company is doing some things right. Ask the people you serviced why they did or are doing busi-

ness with your company.

Make a list of things to promote to other companies or industries.

Do some research on companies in the same industry and in other industries that might need what you’re best at. Build a list and approach this list as market research. Tell them you’re doing research on market needs and gather information to find out if what your company does is still relevant.

Get to work making potential buyers aware of the great job your company does for its current big customers. Do homework on each prospect by looking up what they do and what they value. Figure out whom you and your target contacts are both connected to. Ask for introductions from people who know you and the people you want to meet.

Send out intro letters, attach case studies, letters of refer-

ence, a write-up on industry trends gathered during your research phase. Ask for an opportunity to get together. Don’t be afraid to reference what a great job you’ve done for your lost client.

Just say it’s time to move on and you’re looking for other opportunities of similar or better quality.

TECH TALK Is Your Business Winning? A Guide to Operational Bliss As a technology consultant I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a business and the powers that be feel like they are winning. They are making a modest profit, are reasonably productive and the staff are content. Once we pop the hood, we find that the technology put in place twenty years ago is still in place and upper management is stuck in their old ways. Little do they know that these outdated systems are costing them in more ways than one. I’m going to talk about few things you should consider focusing on that could bring you closer to operational bliss.

ACCOUNTABILITY When it comes to tasking teams with assignments, companies usually have nothing formidable in place. It’s basically an email or conversation and relying on the assignee to remember or to write it on a post-it note. By utilizing a task management system, assignments can be made creating real accountability with task timeline tracking. This will also give management an indication of the velocity for the task at hand. Staff would have one clean list of assignments across all projects to prioritize, plan and execute on from any device.

REPEATABILITY With task lists you can create templated checklists that correlate with standard operating procedures so that you can create a repeatable process with consistent results.

follow up each day to ensure you are executing as planned. Use of a cloud-based group calendar solution that integrates with or built in to a task management system would greatly aid in increasing velocity and ultimately productivity.

COMMUNICATION We rarely use email for interoffice communication. Our inboxes are dedicated to vendors, clients and spam. Internally we rely on chat tools and comments directly tied to a specific task or project. This keeps all thoughts and directions contained within that task or project. Trying to stay organized with just email is difficult. Tasking or project management software that allows for commenting are what you should be looking for.

Leonard Galati

PRODUCTIVITY Time is money and if you’re not maximizing how that time is utilized, your company is slowly bleeding to death. Initiatives should be displayed on a group calendar tied to objectives for the day/week/month. A plan to execute for every week should be the main topic for a Monday morning staff meeting. The ability to look at resources, calendar and jobs/ initiatives on a single pane makes resource utilization and production management a much easier task. Set the tone for the week and

VISIBILITY With everything we have discussed managers and staff need to see it all in one place, an operations radar if you will. In whatever task/ project management solution you choose, you need a high-level view of the status of every initiative so that you can manage, push and pull where needed. This gives you the ability to see where the breakdown in workflows occur and correct them. We have purposeful large screen dashboards throughout our office driving productivity.

looking at a better way to run your business using technology. There are cloud based systems that aren’t very expensive that can dramatically improve your business outcomes when it comes to the P&L at year end. This reduces the number of meetings required, micromanaging and missed tasks, thus reducing management overhead. You would be doing your team an injustice by not providing them with easy to-do lists to follow every day.

Hello to better morale. This one single move can have a tremendous impact on quality of service, workflow and quality of life for all.

Searching on your own or using the services of a consultant are the first steps to reaching operational bliss and ultimately “Winning!”.

In Brief Two Stamford buildings sell for $35M

Verano building

Shelton-based investment sales broker Northeast Private Client Group has announced the sale of a pair of multifamily buildings in Stamford for $35 million in an off-market transaction.

RMS Cos. of Stamford sold the properties — The Moderne Apartments at 163 Franklin St. and The Verano Apartments at 750 Summer St. — to Navarino Acquisitions LLC for the equivalent of $301,724 per unit, $270 per gross square foot, and a capitalization rate of 5.4 percent on yearone net operating income.

Each property consists of 58 luxury apartment units with amenities, including 24-hour fitness centers, rooftop lounges and screening rooms.

Northeast’s Bradley Balletto, vice president of investments, along with investment associates Rich Edwards and Jeff Wright, represented the seller and sourced the buyer in the transaction.

“Verano and Moderne’s in-place nominal rents were well below top-of-market rental options, while offering larger floor plans with comparable unit finishes and amenities packages to their competitive set,” Balletto said. “The relative value to renters by choice at these newer-construc-

tion assets puts them in the unique position to sustain rent growth in the face of significant new deliveries to the Stamford luxury rental market.”

SOFT DRINK MAKER MOVING HQ FROM LA TO NORWALK

Soft drink manufacturer Reed’s Inc. is relocating its headquarters from Los Angeles to Norwalk as it wraps up the sale of its West Coast production facility and shakes up its executive team.

The company — whose all-natural beverages include Reed’s Ginger Beer and Virgil’s Root Beer — announced in January its plans to divest itself of the Los Angeles production facility, with Boston-based advisory, restructuring and investment firm Gordon Brothers managing the sale of the plant.

Reed’s

The changes are part of a streamlining process initiated by CEO Val Stalowir, who took over from founder and former CEO Chris Reed in July 2017.

The timing of the move to Norwalk is uncertain; Reed’s would only say that it will take place “over the next several months.” Norwalk will serve as the hub of the company’s operations, business development, sales and marketing, finance, supply chain, HR and other corporate functions.

“With key leadership already based in the tristate area, including support agencies leading the company’s marketing, advertising and public relations efforts, this will ensure a seamless transition,” Reed’s said in a statement.

“As we continue to spread our mission, it has become increasingly clear that we would be stronger, more effective and more efficient by repositioning the company as a sales- and marketing-focused organization to further accelerate future growth,” said Stalowir. “We believe this move allows us access to an extended and experienced beverage talent pool and strategic advantages being located in the tristate area.

“The planned exit of the company’s production facility in Los Angeles is expected to improve margins and enhance returns on capital by reducing capital expenditures and eliminating plant-related costs, including idle plant charges,” Stalowir added.

In addition to the reloca-

tion announcement, Reed’s announced that its chief financial officer, Dan Miles, has informed the company that he will not be relocating to Connecticut. Iris Snyder, most recently senior vice president and chief financial officer for Stoli Group USA, is replacing him.

Reed’s also announced the appointments of Philip T. Trotman as director of marketing and Beth J. Brown as director of supply chain and procurement. Trotman most recently was partner at Diadem Partners, while Brown was senior supply chain manager at Zwilling J.A. Henckels.

FACTSET NAMES HELEN SHAN AS CFO

Helen Shan

FactSet, the Norwalk provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications, has announced that Helen Shan will join it in September as chief financial officer.

Shan has more than 25 years of experience in business and financial services and has held key executive roles in finance, treasury, strategy, corporate development and investment banking.

She will join FactSet following her position at Marsh and McLennan Cos., where she was CFO for professional services firm Mercer. There she was responsible for global financial reporting and performance, operational finance, investments and corporate strategy, leading a team of finance profession-

als supporting clients in over 130 countries.

Prior to Mercer, Shan has held the role of vice president and treasurer for both Marsh and McLennan Cos. and Pitney Bowes Inc. and of managing director at J.P. Morgan.

There will be a transition period when Shan joins with current CFO Maurizio Nicolelli, who will remain with FactSet through December.

INVESTMENT METRICS AND INVESTORFORCE MERGING

Darien-based investment analytics and reporting firm Investment Metrics is merging with InvestorForce, a similar company based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, as part of a deal involving the owners of the two firms.

Investment Metrics’ parent, Resurgens Technology Partners, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire InvestorForce from MSCI Inc. in order to merge the two companies. The resulting entity will provide investment tools for performance analysis, investment reporting, investment policy statements, peer benchmarking and competitive insights.

The combined company, which will operate under the Investment Metrics name, will have clients with approximately $10 trillion in assets under advisement (AUA) running on the platform. Those clients include Aon Hewitt, Mercer, Morgan Stanley, Pension Consulting Alliance, RVK and Segal Marco Advisors.

The company will continue to support both the Investment Metrics and InvestorForce software, data and service offerings.

“This is a major milestone for the institutional investment community,” said Resurgens Managing Director John Baumstark.

“This merger enhances our ability to support the growing needs of our clients, leverage the talents of the two teams, provide our clients with an expanded and

Yumi Clevenger-Lee

Nestlé Waters North America has named Yumi ClevengerLee its vice president and chief marketing officer. She replaces Antonio Sciuto, who the Stamford-based company said “made the decision to leave NWNA to consider opportunities both within and outside of Nestlé.”

Most recently marketing director of the Latin America region for Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW), Clevenger-Lee will oversee NWNA’s marketing operations in the U.S. She will serve as a member of the NWNA executive team and will report to President and CEO Fernando Mercé.

CPW is a joint venture between General Mills and Nestlé to manufacture and market cereal globally in more than 120 markets. At CPW, Clevenger-Lee was responsible for all marketing activities across 14 countries, including guiding brand-building communication strategies, creating category and portfolio initiatives to drive trust with consumers, and delivering a significant increase in volume.

While marketing director, she and her team launched 14 products across 12 markets and were credited with stabilizing market share following three consecutive years of decline.

Building the right competitive benefits package for your business

O

ne common mistake made by many small — to midsize — business owners when considering the right benefit plans to offer their employees is only looking at them in terms of what they cost. The more strategic way to view them is as an investment. Because good employee benefits packages will pay substantial returns for the long-term, even more so than salaries.

Why? Employee benefits packages show employees not only that employers appreciate them, but that they are willing to invest in and protect their future.

And in a competitive work environment, what could be more important?

Employee benefits packages vary from company to company, and range anywhere from a bare minimum of offerings to a full range.

In terms of prioritizing what can be offered, here is a good way to view which benefits are the most essential to attracting and retaining the right people: • Health insurance • Paid time off • 401(k)/Retirement plan • Long-term disability insurance • Group life insurance To be successful and remain competitive with similar companies in the market, businesses do not need to offer all five items on that menu. However, they would be wise to offer at least a few of them; otherwise they could find themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to truly attracting the right people to grow the business and help it thrive into the future.

It is also advisable to look at other companies in the industry, especially larger companies which perhaps have the bandwidth to offer more robust benefit plans,

so a company can benchmark when they may need to offer in order to compete.

Businesses are in competition for the best employees every day and they really have two basic choices in order to land the employees they need — the first is they can simply offer a higher salary, and the second is they can offer a better benefits package.

The latter option is the better one, because it ties the employer to the company for a longer period of

As the single most important benefit an employer can offer an employee, health insurance obviously becomes the centerpiece of any package.

time — studies have shown that good benefits packages actually matter more to the best employees than their salary. The most important thing is for an employee to feel appreciated and if good benefits become the main attraction for an employee, conversely the lack of a competitive benefits package will ultimately lead them to leave for elsewhere.

As the single most important benefit an employer can offer an employee, health insurance obviously becomes the centerpiece of any package. It’s important to remember that offering health insurance to employees does not mean the employer has to pay the total cost; the cost can be split with the employee based on age, family status and other considerations, and this can be done in a way that works best for each individual employee.

There are numerous ways to structure the cost, but what’s most important is being able to offer something in the way of health insurance.

The bottom line is a complete benefits package offered to employees could spell the difference between landing the highest possible quality employees or losing them to a business that offers something better. And the best way to manage such a competitive landscape is to view this not as just one more cost, but as investment in the employee and in the company’s future.

SPECIAL REPORT | New Health Care Practices

Norwalk spa offers an alternative path to wellness

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

W

hen first meeting Liz Lew, one immediately notices her sense of vibrancy. Without knowing her background, it would be easy to assume that she has always been the epitome of energy and effervescence. Upon learning her backstory, however, it is hard to believe that she was once in a very different state of health.

“I was at a point when I was in bed 22 hours a day,” she said. “My adrenal glands were shot. I had been going through a lot of health issues and I was on four medications. When you are in a position when you’ve been to every specialist and no one can tell you what’s wrong, but everyone says ‘Here’s a prescription to alleviate your symptoms,’ it gets frustrating.”

Lew’s mother also had severe health issues when she developed colon cancer during the 1980s that spread to her lymph system. Rather than undergo radiation treatment and chemotherapy, she chose to focus on lifestyle and diet changes as the core of her wellness regimen.

“She was cancer-free in five years,” Lew said.

Unhappy with her medical care, Lew took matters into her own hands.

She switched to a raw vegan diet supplemented with organic juicing.

She also learned about an Australian sauna massage machine called the Vibrosaun that uses vibrating heat therapy. While no machine was commercially available in this country, Lew learned of a privately owned model in Brewster, New York.

“When I read about the machine, I said, ‘I have to try this. I’ll try anything at

this point.’”

Lew credited the Vibrosaun in helping her regain her health and she was inspired to share her experiences with others.

Formerly a fundraiser for universities, she opened Kure Spa & Wellness Center in Norwalk in 2014 as a venue for a variety of therapeutic services — including the first commercially available Vibrosaun machines in the U.S. for heated vibration massage treatments. Among the offerings at Lew’s center are pulsed electro-magnetic field therapy, reiki, reflexology, digital infra-

red thermal imaging and nutritional consulting. She also has an in-house organic juice bar.

“Everything we have here definitely helps people,” Lew said. “For people in serious pain, we are able to combine treatments so they are even more effective afterwards.”

Lew promotes Kure Spa & Wellness Center in a two-pronged approach.

“This is for somebody who simply wants to relax and enjoy the space,” she said.

“It is a very peaceful space and people who come here feel like it’s a mini-vacation.

Or, for someone like me, it

allows you to find another way for your body to empower its own healing ability.”

Lew said her client base was mostly females between the ages of 45 and 55, with men accounting for 25 to 30 percent of clients. She said that some physicians regularly come in, but she also acknowledged that the medical establishment is still skeptical of such treatments.

“I’ve noticed that sometimes the U.S. is behind on some things that are very popular in other parts of the world,” she said. “For instance, in Australia the

FCBJ

Vibrosaun is in pain management clinics, it’s in spas, it’s in physical therapy offices and chiropractors’ offices because they know it can help the body to relax and allow the therapist afterwards to work on the body better. Unless you can get the insurance companies to pay for things like this, it is outside of the realm of what Western medicine is doing.”

One challenge that Lew has faced over the years has been the lack of street-level visibility. Kure Spa & Wellness Center is on the second level of a retail center at 430 Main Ave. in Norwalk and only a small sign within the center’s directory of businesses gives a hint to its presence.

However, word-of-mouth marketing has helped drive people to her location.

“Luckily for us, right from the get-go, people were leaving reviews on Yelp and Google and we would float up to the top on those sites,” she said.

“I would say 95 percent of the people who find us are online and we get about 70 new clients a month thanks to Yelp and Google. Also, I try to get out and talk to groups as much as I can.

Usually, somebody knows somebody who might benefit from this.”

Business has picked up to the point that Lew is leasing the vacant space next to her and will be adding two new massage rooms plus an office for a naturopathic doctor who will be on duty twice a week. She has also fielded customer requests to expand with franchises into Westport and Greenwich, but at the moment she is content with where she is based.

“Many times, people come in saying, ‘This is what I would expect in California,’” she said. “But we just happen to live in Norwalk.”

SPECIAL REPORT

SHU to start support group for those who stutter

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

O

n Sept. 20, Jill E. Douglass, assistant professor in Sacred Heart University’s Speech Language Pathology Program, will launch the first in a monthly series of National Stuttering Association support group meetings for children who stutter and their families.

These group meetings, which will take place on the third Thursday of each month at the university’s Center for Healthcare Education at 4000 Park Ave. in Bridgeport, represent the first of their kind for the Fairfield County region.

“It will be free to the public,” Douglass said. “It’s not any behavioral therapy.

It’s a space to meet other people who stutter, other families and parents of kids who stutter. It’s a place to be

16

AUGUST 6, 2018

social and a place to share and to stutter judgment-free.

We are trying to develop an emotional support system — sharing resources that parents might not be aware of, sharing experiences that children are getting in schools or concepts that parents might need to advocate for in the school.”

Douglass observed that there is still too many misconceptions regarding the causes and treatment of stuttering. “A person who stutters is not stuttering because they’re nervous or because of XYZ,” she said. “It is involuntary, it is a loss of control.”

So, what causes stuttering? Douglass said that there is no easy explanation.

“The best way we can describe it is a perfect storm of happenings,” she said.

“There is a neurological element along with a genetic element — predisposition — along with a social, emotional motor. It’s a perfect storm

FCBJ

of all of these elements having this imbalance at the early years of life, when a child is just starting to boom with their language. At the age of three, and sometimes as young as two-and-a-half and then up till five, you might see it begin because the child’s body and all of these elements are in this boom of development. And for this child, their fluency gives way and they start stuttering.”

While most children will be able to overcome their stuttering by the time they reach 6 or 7, Douglass added, others continue and their situation becomes chronic over time. Today, she noted, there are three main approaches to stuttering therapy: stuttering modification, where the impediment is modified to create as minimal an impact as possible; fluency shaping, which attempts to increase the individual’s speech fluen-

cy; and a cognitive restructuring that works with the emotional cognitive impact at the root of the stuttering with the goal of encouraging change in the behavioral elements.

Douglass became involved with the National Stuttering Association during her graduate studies “so I could see a bigger picture.” When she first attended the organization’s national conference, she had an epiphany on the subject.

“For the first time, I was a fluent speaker among a majority who stutter and I found that exceptionally humbling,” she recalled.

“Stuttering therapy has been evolving over decades and there was a time when it was thought that we can get rid of stuttering. But that’s not truly the case.”

There is also a question of public empathy to those who stutter. While three generations grew up

laughing at the animated antics of stuttering Porky Pig — Douglass noted the character’s original voice actor, Joe Dougherty, was a stutterer himself and lost the job because his stutter grew more severe over time — the 2010 Oscar-winning film “The King’s Speech” raised mature awareness of the issue through its sympathetic central character in Britain’s King George VI and his patient efforts to gain speech fluency. Still, Douglass recalled one example where bumbling Porky Pig was viewed as something of a hero.

“I know this one fellow, a researcher in the stuttering world who stutters and he wears a Porky Pig pin on his lapel,” she said. “Just because it was such a part of his childhood and he just had to turn it to the positive in that it shed light on stuttering. It shows us how relevant pop culture is with

these different diagnoses — it sets the tone. Is it the butt of the joke, like Porky Pig, or is it inspirational like ‘The King’s Speech’?”

In both her client work and in her upcoming group meetings, Douglass aims to educate parents that the best input they can provide to children who stutter is the ability to recognize what they can accomplish by being their true selves.

“One of my goals with parents is they develop what is called in the literature a parental locus of control, where they can come to appreciate that they can only control themselves,” she said. “Rather than the parent channel their feeling of helplessness into the child, the parent should be mindful of their own feelings and show the child they are comfortable in their own skin and are listening.

That is far more beneficial for that child to experience.”

n 2014, Samant Virk was more than a decade into a career in private practice as a neurologist in Poughkeepsie, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something needed to change.

At his shared office space at New York Medical College’s biotech incubator in Valhalla on July 31, Virk detailed the frustrations that led him to give up a career in medicine to launch his own tech startup, MediSprout. Over four years, his company has developed a platform for virtual doctor video visits it is now marketing to medical practices.

Before he launched the company, Virk said he felt a

disconnect between medicine and the world around him. His office life didn’t match his personal life made increasingly more convenient by technology: one-button ordering on Amazon and easy contact with friends and family through video chat.

“I’d walk into my office and it felt like going back in time,” Virk said. “Patients had to come in for every appointment. Tons of inefficiencies in communication, daily fax machine rounds.”

He gave a statistic that, on average, 27 percent of a physician’s time goes to actual patients, the rest spent doing paperwork, calling insurance companies and other administrative tasks.

That level of paperwork can leave a doctor

feeling burnt out and, for Virk, he felt there had to be better way. He spent months describing his frustration with this disconnect and the ways he wanted to solve it, with his wife, Monica, before she finally had heard enough.

“She has an MBA and said ‘I don’t want to hear anything else, just write a business plan,’” Virk said.

“And that can be pervasive in the medical community.

Doctors have tons of ideas, but nobody’s acting on them. She said, ‘Do something about it.’”

Within a year, Virk stepped down from his private practice to launch a tech startup focused on connecting patients and doctors for virtual visits.

From that plan came MediSprout, incorporat» MEDISPROUT

Medisprout—

ed by Virk in 2014. He has worked for the past four years with co-founder Randy Findley, who handles the company’s tech, on developing a platform for patients to schedule video calls with their doctors in just a few clicks.

Virk stresses the doctor-driven nature of his app. The field of telemedicine is still relatively new and the laws and technology that govern it still under development. That provides a chance, he said, for doctors to make sure their interests are represented.

“There’s a huge opportunity here for clinicians to set the tone,” Virk said.

“Here’s our moment to take this and say ‘Here is how it’s going to work.’

If we don’t jump on this opportunity, this could turn into the same mess we’ve seen with so many solutions from secondary entities, which do things to benefit them, but patients and doctors get left out in the cold.”

While there are competitors in the space — including Purchasebased Teladoc, which is publicly traded and owns about three-quarters of the telehealth market — MediSprout’s corner of the market could come from its ability to appeal directly to doctors. Rather than having a large group of doctors ready to see patients on demand, MediSprout’s focus is on providing a virtual option for patients to reach their doctors, and vice versa.

It’s a good way for doctors to fill in unused time from canceled appoint-

ments, Virk said. Since scheduling is done on the app, it also eliminates the back-and-forth phone calls trying to find the right day and time. For patients, they can quickly reach their doctors and avoid traveling to the office for what could be a quick consultation.

The ability to connect patients directly to their doctor was important to Virk, who described seeing a growing world of “outsourced medicine.”

“Patients were increasingly going to urgent care centers, they were going to doctors online they had never seen,” Virk said.

“Meanwhile, I know my patients better than anybody. Why shouldn’t I be their first line of care?”

MediSprout charges $4 per call, which can either be paid by the doctor’s office or passed off to the patients, depending on the provider’s preference.

Doctors’ offices also have

a choice of adding an additional fee for the service.

MediSprout is already working with Mount Sinai Hospital. The New York City hospital includes the Susan and Leonard Feinstein Inf lammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Clinical Center, which uses MediSprout’s app to help track follow-up care for complex IBD patients.

MediSprout’s app has been used about 700 times since summer 2016 by the center, the hospital estimated in a case study. The hospital believes that interacting with patients through the app could cut down on unnecessary hospital visits, which cost an estimated $50,000 per admission.

Under Virk’s vision, a doctor should be able to jump online, set up an account and be ready to see patients through the app within 5 minutes. The company is focused now on improving its design while building up a base of doctors and users.

In a time of rapid change for the industry, Virk said it’s important that health care providers don’t lose track of the importance of their relationship with patients. That’s something he hopes his app can help with by making it easy for the two parties to connect.

“We started with what I see as where health care begins,” Virk said. “If a doctor doesn’t see a patient, nothing occurs. There’s no prescriptions, no physical therapy, no X-rays. If we can make that better, we feel we can build an infrastructure where we can improve all of the things that result from that.”

CHEFA PRESENTS STEPPING STONES WITH $75K GRANT Stepping Stones Museum for Children accepted a $75,000 grant from the Connecticut Health & Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA) at the 2018 Nonprofit Grant Award Presentation on June 27. The annual ceremony was held at CHEFA’s offices in Hartford. Stepping Stones will use the funds to replace and improve the museum’s original roof as part of a renovation project that will enhance the visitor experience.

Stepping Stones was one of 16 awardees to receive grants totaling more than $1 million. Each recipient had the opportunity to share how the funds were going to be

allocated for their nonprofit organization. Mike Jacabacci, director of facilities at Stepping Stones, was on hand to receive the check from CHEFA on the museum’s behalf and explained that the museum is looking to start and complete the project in September, weather permitting.

“The new roof will be LEED Gold certified and includes solar panels, durable materials and even a wind turbine,” Jacabacci said. “We are extremely grateful to receive this grant to improve efficiency, conserve resources, and most importantly continue to provide a funfilled experience for every guest who visits our museum.”

Phil Lohmeyer’s new book, “WAVE THE FLAG: Project Management with Mr. Lohmeyer’s Design Flags,” pictured among the flags on which the book is based.

INSPIRED BY FLAG DESIGNS Greenwich design teacher Phil Lohmeyer recently published his first book titled “Wave the Flag: Project Management with Mr. Lohmeyer’s Design Flags.” The book features a 16-step project-management system based on flag designs, available through Amazon Books in both paperback and Kindle format.

Lohmeyer said, “Design Flags allow you to break your project down, then build it back up while inventing your own cause.

These fundamental steps can help you tackle any project.”

The Whitby School teacher created his Design Flags last summer in Stamford, with limited materials, including card stock, pencils and Sharpie markers. In October 2017, Lohmeyer began to pilot the system with 8th-grade design-

ers while planning a logo contest for Whitby’s 60th anniversary. A content copyright for the book was registered in January 2018 and the paperback format was made available to the public in July through Amazon.com.

Lohmeyer’s experience with project management includes nonprofit fundraisers and business networking events. He has worked over the past decade in Fairfield and Westchester counties, developing a focus on form and function in the classroom.

“I want to help readers brainstorm, recruit allies and rededicate themselves to their own passion projects. By using these carefully crafted Design Flags, readers can liberate their own potential and change lives,” he said.
