Global innovation drives new Pace dean

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

mar Gupta brings to his new post at Pace University a vision of around-the-clock, globally dispersed workplaces and a zealous goal of collaborative innovation in technology that unites academia, industry and government and crosses traditional campus boundaries between learning disciplines. Already his vision and his goal are being applied at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems on Pace campuses in Manhattan and Westchester County.

Gupta, a White Plains resident, arrived last August at Pace as dean of its computer science school from the University of Arizona, where students in the Eller College of Management voted him outstanding faculty member of the year in 2012. A Pace, page 6 Amar Gupta

Cuomo charts course for economic growth

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

S

etting New York’s economic development agenda in 2013, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in his State of the State Address said the state will build upon the work of its 2-year-old regional economic development councils and partnerships with higher education to promote technology transfer into the marketplace and innovative enterprises financed in part by a new $50 million venture capital fund.

The governor also proposed reforms to the state’s unem-

ployment insurance and workers’ compensation programs that he said will save businesses $1.3 billion while increasing jobless benefits to workers for the first time in 14 years.

In a proposal likely to be opposed by some business groups, Cuomo said he would seek a $1.50 hike in the state’s hourly minimum wage, from $7.25 to $8.75 per hour.

The governor in his annual address also said he will use the state’s 10 regional economic development councils to advance an “opportunity agenda” to bring poor communities more fully into New York’s economic revitalization effort. Each council will focus on one distressed community

V H

in its region and develop strategies that address the challenges of poverty and then enable the community to compete for state funding.

Noting that many of the country’s major high-tech economic clusters owe their success to technology transfer, the governor proposed several steps to accelerate the commercialization of ideas developed in academia and create new businesses to take them to market. They include: Innovation Hot Spots: In a competitive process, 10 hightech incubators run by universities and the private sector Cuomo, page 6

Rivertowns Square wins support from divided Dobbs Ferry board

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A

divided Dobbs Ferry board of trustees narrowly approved an environmental impact report in a vote that allows developers of Rivertowns Square to move ahead with site plans for their approximately $150 million mixed-use project in the village.

“It could have gone either way and we were very heartened by the support that we got.”

– Development partner Corey B. Rabin

The board’s 4-3 vote Jan. 8 reflected continued division among Dobbs Ferry residents as to the impact of the project on the community since partners at Saber Dobbs Ferry L.L.C. and Lincoln Dobbs Ferry L.L.C. first proposed two years ago to redevelop a nearly 18-acre site adjoining Chauncey Square Shopping Center. The property, near the intersection of Lawrence Street and the Saw Mill River Parkway, formerly was the office and laboratory complex of Akzo Nobel Chemical Co., which vacated the facility in 1996. Food Emporium leased office space there until 2005, and the complex, which includes 200,000 square feet of floor space in three buildings, since then has been vacant.

“I have never seen a more rigorous review, especially for a project of this size,” said Rivertowns Square development partner Corey B. Rabin, a White Plains attorney and Realtor. His company, Dobbs Ferry Capital Partners L.L.C., in 2010 paid $5.125 million for the Akzo Nobel campus. “The review was very, very transparent,” he said.

MASTER CONCEPT PLAN RIVERTOWNS SQUARE Final Environmental Impact Statement Dobbs Ferry, New York SOURCE: John Meyer Consulting, P.C.

Responding to concerns about traffic congestion and planning and design elements voiced by residents and village officials, the developers twice made changes to the proposed development. The modified proposal reduces total project square footage by more than 20,000 square feet, to 441,320 square feet, and eliminates 24 residential units from the initial plan. A 70,000-squarefoot supermarket will be replaced by an 18,000-square-foot Mrs. Green’s Natural Market and a 33,600-square-foot movie theater complex that will help reduce the impact of shopping traffic.

In addition to the theater complex and gourmet grocery, the project now includes a 202-unit, approximately 277,000-squarefoot luxury residential building, about 61,300 square feet of retail and restaurant space in

six buildings, a 123-room hotel and 1,222 parking spaces.

The eight-screen, 1,350-seat theater complex will be operated by Sundance Cinemas L.L.C., a Los Angeles-based company headed by actor and filmmaker Robert Redford.

Dobbs Ferry will be the company’s first East Coast location.

Lincoln Property Co., based in Dallas, is the project’s residential developer.

Dobbs Ferry Mayor Hartley Connett before the vote said the modified project “is in the best interest of the majority of residents” and “will make Dobbs Ferry a more sustainable and affordable community into the future. And I think it will make Dobbs Ferry a better, a more desirable and an even more exciting place to live.”

“It could have gone either way,” Rabin

said of the board vote, “and we were very heartened by the support that we got. Frankly, the people that spoke from the community” during the meeting’s public comment period “echoed the sentiment of the board,” said Rabin, with slightly more residents speaking in favor of the project than against it.

Rabin said he expects the site plan review to take “several months. I hope it doesn’t take as long a time as went through the (state environmental quality review) process.”

With approvals in place, “I would hope that we would be able to be in the ground by the end of the year” for an 18-month construction project.

“It was a very long and very fact-filled comment period by the trustees and I’m very pleased that we reached this important step,” Rabin said.

Settlement reached over Chappaqua Crossing

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

S

ummit/Greenfield, developer of the Chappaqua Crossing property at the former Reader’s Digest site in New Castle, has reached a settlement with the town, dropping its federal and state lawsuits in exchange for approval of a retail zoning district.

The settlement was approved by the town board in mid-December and has Summit/ Greenfield paying New Castle $1 million in fees the town said was owed.

Summit/Greenfield had sued the town in state and federal court over its handling of the Chappaqua Crossing site, claiming that its conduct deprived Summit/ Greenfield of making the property economically viable.

The lawsuits won’t officially be dropped until the town formally approves the retail zoning district. Summit/Greenfield’s state lawsuit was dismissed, though the developer had planned to appeal. The federal lawsuit was in the discovery phase.

The town held public hearings on the matter last fall and expects to continue the hearings in February and March and allow for comments at the town board meeting.

Summit/Greenfield would develop

120,000 square feet of retail space at the site, including a full-service supermarket. The retail aspect would replace existing office space.

Chappaqua has been without a grocery store since D’Agostino on King Street closed shortly after Tropical Storm Irene. It’s being replaced by Walgreens, forcing Chappaqua residents to travel to Mount Kisco or Millwood to do their grocery shopping.

Summit/Greenfield said it has strong interest from several supermarket chains.

The developer, a partnership of Summit Development L.L.C. and Greenfield Partners L.L.C., both real estate services and investment companies based in South Norwalk,

Conn., said a market and retail component could generate $650,000 in property tax revenue, bringing the total real estate taxes from the site in excess of $3 million.

BartonPartners Architects Planners Inc., of Norristown, Pa., has designed the proposed changes to the buildings to blend with the Neo-Georgian brick of the original Reader’s Digest building. Retail space at the southern end of the property will have a complementary architectural style.

The retail center would have 600 parking spaces. Parking for the existing office space would be relocated to maintain the required 1,680 spaces for the offices.

The remainder of the space not used for retail would continue for office use. Currently Northern Westchester Hospital, Mount Kisco Medical Group, Fiber Media and WeeZee Sensory Gym are tenants.

Summit/Greenfield bought the 114acre property for $59 million from Reader’s Digest Association in December 2004. It had initially proposed building 348 units of agerestricted condominiums and townhouses.

The town eventually approved 111 units of housing, 20 of which are affordable.

Many residents have opposed the new zoning district fearing it will negatively impact downtown Chappaqua. The planning board has also expressed skepticism about the new zoning district.

Geoff Thompson, a spokesman for Summit/Greenfield, said only 3 percent of taxable properties in New Castle are commercial properties, putting a heavy tax burden on residents.

“Chappaqua Crossing is the largest taxpaying property in the town and Chappaqua Central School District,” Thompson said.

“The town and school district need to take advantage of these opportunities.”

Thompson said the revised impact study should be ready within 60 days and will address how the retail zoning would impact the downtown commercial district.

Lessons from the fall of Dell and Big Blue

B

ecause of leadership, Dell was an unstoppable force in the PC industry from 1997 through 2004 and consistently gained market share from competitors, even during industry slumps.

IBM Corp. dominated its marketplace until the person in charge forgot the core concept that made the company great.

For Dell, it took the return of its founder, Michael Dell, to stop the downward spiral.

For IBM, the board had to bring in Lou Gerstner to replace the existing leadership in order to get “Big Blue,” a company that started in the 19th TWB Sandy Ad century, back on track.

7.375” x 7.125” h knew how to grow Thesew two people 11/5/12 again by finding out what their customers

wanted and how to eliminate the guesswork.

This caused fewer mistakes, complaints and returns. In Michael Dell’s words, “From the start, our entire business, from design to manufacturing and sales … was oriented around listening to the customer, responding to the customer and delivering what the customer wanted.”

Before Dell, computer companies worked through distributors and sent products to them. The idea was that the customer would find a product “close enough.” With 800 numbers and the Internet, Dell asked the customer exactly what they wanted and then produced and shipped it. Their strategy bypassed distributors and cut cost based on mass customization. By carefully listening to and responding to what their customers were

saying, during the “technology bust” of 2001, Dell cut prices and gained the No. 1 share worldwide in PCs. But in 2004, Michael Dell passed the reins to Kevin Rollins, who focused on revenue and forgot about the consumer. Complaints mounted as Rollins shifted support technicians overseas to further boost revenue and reduce cost. Michael Dell then retook the helm and refocused on the basics which had made the business great.

Dell was successful because it knew that direct customer contact was the best way to gain information and build relationships and that regular interactive communications with customers can detect new trends in expectations and demand. Under the leadership of Rollins, Dell lost its focus as had Big

When The Unexpected Happens, Our Team Is Ready To Help. “

The dreamspeaker™

Blue just a decade earlier.

When Gerstner replaced John Akers as IBM’s CEO in 1993, he found IBM’s focus had shifted from customers to a series of smaller internal competitions designed to increase efficiency and reduce cost. At the same time customer tastes were shifting from big mainframes toward networks of smaller, ever more powerful desktops.

Akers ignored the shift, believing IBM didn’t have to worry about customers’ changing desires because they had such a long history of customers always coming to them for answers to their problems. He focused on protecting its basic business and ignored new competitors who were pirating their customers in droves.

Change demands that leaders and organizations make a commitment to talk frequently with customers to learn more about their needs and use the conversations...

Gerstner didn’t assume he knew how to fix IBM but traveled tens of thousands of air miles asking customers where the company had gone wrong. IBM’s current problems came from its past success. Having done so well for so long, it was suffocating in arrogance and had become a company fixated on selling products rather than providing superior solutions for customer problems.

Change demands that leaders and organizations make a commitment to talk frequently with customers to learn more about their needs and use the conversations, not to pitch their products or services, but to understand customers’ preferences. Although it’s extremely important to reduce cost and increase efficiency, doing so must never jeopardize serving customers whose preferences are constantly changing.

It’s important to know who you can turn to for help, especially when unexpected challenges surface.

New owners plan ‘edgy’ look for former Nestle HQ

New owners of 120 Bloomingdale Road in downtown White Plains could revive a high-end retail development on the nearly 6-acre property they acquired from a special servicer at a deep discount after its previous owner defaulted on a commercial mortgage-backed securitized (CMBS) loan.

A partnership of Caspi Development Co. in Purchase and Faros Properties, based in New York City and Boston, paid $10.5 million for the four-story, approximately 146,000-square-foot office building, the former headquarters of The Nestle Co. Austin Corporate Properties Inc. in Rye Brook represented the buyers in the recently announced deal that closed in October.

Joshua Caspi, principal at Caspi Development, said the property had been appraised at $33 million.

The building is just under 70 percent occupied, he said. Major tenants include the state Department of Labor, Byram Healthcare, Oxman Tulis Kirkpatrick Whyatt & Geiger L.L.P. and Keller Williams Realty White Plains.

Core Plus Properties L.L.C., of Stamford, Conn., in 2005 paid $27.3 million for the 120 Bloomingdale Road property. White Plains city officials in 2008 approved the Stamford developer’s plans for The Venue, a 42,000-square-foot complex of boutique retail stores and restaurants on the site.

Core Plus Properties owed about $20.4 million on the property, county records indicate, when it was deeded in 2010 to J.E. Robert Co. Inc., of Dallas, a special servicer of CMBS loans.

The Texas company allowed city approvals for the development project to expire last year, Caspi said. “I don’t think they had a clue as to what the asset was. Our thought was to reinstate the approvals.”

“Our focus has always been on the building itself,” Caspi added. He said the partners will spend “upwards of $1.5 million” in capital improvements that will “exponentially increase the curb appeal to a level that I don’t think White Plains has seen for this kind of office product.”

They have hired Gallin Beeler Design Studio in Tarrytown to design a new facade for the 1950s-era building along with parking lot improvements and some interior changes.

“We’re going to reface it with something hot and give it a whole new edge,” Caspi said.

The retail development “could be a nice additional upside if it happens. I think there will be a market for it,” he said.

The partnership, 120 Bloomingdale Road L.L.C., took out a $6.25 million mortgage with New York Community Bank.

Long Island developer closes on Armonk site

The Engel Burman Group, the Garden Citybased developer of assisted living facilities for seniors, has closed on its $5.5 million purchase of 90 Business Park Drive in Armonk from an affiliate of Lashins Development Corp.

Engel Burman plans this year to build a 115,000-square-foot Bristal assisted living complex on the approximately 6-acre site in the Armonk Business Park. The approximately $38 million project will be the company’s second Bristal-branded development in Westchester. The 150,000-square-foot Bristal at White Plains opened in December in the former St. Agnes Hospital at 305 North St.

Ossining pharmacy sold

DLC Management Corp., the national shopping center developer in Tarrytown, in December closed on its $11.85 million sale of a 9,500-square-foot Walgreens drug store in Ossining to a California real estate investor.

Barbara G. Epis, of Los Altos, Calif., and Cypress Ossining L.L.C. took out a $6.23 million mortgage on the 78 Croton Ave. property with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings L.L.C.

native of India, the entrepreneurial-minded professor and scientist also has had a 25-year association with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was founding co-director of the Productivity from Information Technology Initiative (PROFIT) at the Sloan School of Management. At MIT’s International Financial Services Research Center, he developed a patented check processing technology that proved to be years ahead of the banking industry’s adoption of online check image processing.

At the start of a new year and the spring semester at Pace, Gupta recently outlined his vision for and his work in emerging innovative applications of information technology to a group of Pace alumni, staff and business leaders in Manhattan. The dean was introduced by Pace University President Stephen J. Freidman, who called Gupta “the right man for the right job at this point in history.”

Innovation NY Network: To break down barriers to commercialization, the network will build collaboration among academics, venture capitalists, business leaders, patent lawyers and other professionals and entrepreneurs.

Innovation Venture Capital Fund: A $50 million venture capital fund will provide incentives for successful startups to stay and grow in New York.

To make New York a national leader in building a clean tech economy program, Cuomo announced these steps: NY Green Bank: The $1 billion fund will leverage public dollars with private sector matches to spur the clean economy.

Extend NY-Sun Solar Jobs: The program will be expanded to $150 million annually for 10 years to increase solar panel installations for homes and businesses.

Seidenberg School and in many ways the whole university,” Freidman said.

At Arizona and MIT, Gupta developed what he calls the “24-hour knowledge factory,” which involves teams working in eighthour shifts on three continents to hand off and produce knowledge-based work such as software code. Gupta said he first saw its potential use in the global economy as a consultant to IBM Corp. on a one-year project that involved two IBM software development teams – one working at one location in the U.S. and another split between India and the U.S. As with his three-pronged global concept, the IBM teams were directed by one manager.

“The results were very surprising,” he said. Though the teams filed identical software problem reports, the team distributed between two continents provided “far superior” documentation of problems and completed the work faster, he said.

Gupta said the 24-hour global factory technology will be useful in a number of other knowledge-based industries, including banking and finance, law, health care, education and product design.

With teams working only day shifts before passing off the work to a team in

another time zone, health risks linked to graveyard shift work could be avoided, said Gupta, citing recent studies by the World Health Organization and American Cancer Society that linked night work to breast and prostate cancer.

Gupta also sees great opportunity in the use of telecommunications technologies to deliver health care services, especially in medically underserved rural areas. But those technology-driven innovations in health care in the U.S. face significant challenges from doctors protecting their traditional practices, states’ physician licensing regulations when dispensing prescriptions online and the costs and legal risks of navigating state privacy laws that restrict the dissemination of patient health records.

“One of the biggest impediments to telemedicine is the absence of a single national electronic health record,” Gupta said. “It’s not wise to have information on computers that don’t speak to each other.”

“I frankly believe telehealth and telemedicine will be the next trillion-dollar industry and we are missing an opportunity to do it.”

“The more impediments we put in innovation, the more we are allowing others to compete with us” in the global economy.

At Pace, Gupta said he wants to start “a dialogue with industries to see what kind of students we should be producing to be more useful to the market” in areas such as telemedicine, cybersecurity, finance and insurance.

dinate the state’s clean tech agenda and oversee the state government’s energy portfolio.

To retool New York’s workforce, Cuomo proposed steps to “reimagine” the SUNY and CUNY community colleges to ensure the state’s job training programs produce the trained personnel that businesses need. His proposed Next Generation Job Linkage Program will connect community colleges with employers to identify the job, define the skill and provide the training for it. The state will offer performance pay by funding colleges based on student job placement.

To boost economic development upstate, the governor unveiled plans for Market NY, a new multifaceted marketing plan. It includes: Taste-NY: The initiative will promote New York products, including creating duty-free “Taste-NY” stores across the state to market products grown and produced here.

Advertising Competition: A new $5 million advertising competition for the best regional marketing plans will be an incentive for counties to work together to forge “regional synergies.”

The Adirondack Challenge: Noting that New York has some of the best whitewater rafting in the nation, Cuomo proposed a national whitewater rafting competition in the North Country.

Destination Resorts and Casino Gaming: To increase upstate tourism, up to three casinos would be built in upstate

communities. Cuomo proposed to allocate 90 percent of casino gaming revenue for education and 10 percent for municipal property tax relief.

The casino proposal will require a voter referendum.

“New York is on its way, coming back stronger than ever before, rising to meet some of the biggest challenges in our history, remaining as a progressive beacon of

light to the rest of the nation, and standing out as a model of effective government,” Cuomo said in his address. “Gone are the anti-business, obstructionist, tax capital, and gridlock mentalities, replaced with an entrepreneurial government that collaboratively works together for the people and partners with the private sector to create jobs and get the economy back on track.”

“We want to work with real-life companies on real-life problems.”

Roadmap your goals I don’t feel like I’m very good at quantifying goals, or following through with people on those that I’ve set – to get their buy-in or to know they’re delivering. How can you help me get a good start to the new year?

Thoughts of the Day: Goals are like picking a destination on a roadmap. Specifics are essential. To increase buy-in, ask people to create their goals. Make sure the goals add up. Set up visible reporting systems to keep goals present.

The clearer everyone is about where your organization is headed, the more likely they can support that vision. Set a destination.

Then give your organization purpose by working steadily towards it.

Consider the roadmap analogy. Let’s say you set a goal to travel from New York to California next year. Compare that to a declaration that you’re going to pick the fastest, shortest route and means of transportation to get you from Buffalo to San Diego, so that you arrive by 3 p.m. on Jan. 10.

The former could lead someone to think you’re planning a leisurely drive across the great Midwest, ending somewhere on the West Coast south of Oregon anytime in the coming year. The latter goal puts you on a direct flight, landing in the southernmost major city in the continental United States at or before a specific time and date.

Many owners start and end with declaring they intend to pursue a growth strategy in the upcoming year. Unfortunately that statement leaves a lot of room for interpretation. What growth? More revenue? More people? More customers – which ones? More profits? More equipment? More expenses?

What is it that is supposed to grow? By when?

Make sure everyone recognizes what

you expect the organization to tackle in the upcoming year. For example, if you’re thinking about revenue growth, you might not be happy if the company sold only $1 more than last year. But you’d be thrilled if it sold twice as much as last year – although you’re doubtful that would happen. So somewhere between $1 more and twice as much as last year is the right answer. Narrow the gap.

Add to buy-in by getting people in the organization involved in setting goals. Ask managers and employees what they want to accomplish.

Challenge them to do better, achieve more and learn about new things. Ask for specifics about what would cause them to say they had a great year.

As individuals and departments work on goal setting, make sure things add up. Will the growth goals of the sales department plus the retention goals from customer service hit the company’s overall revenue target?

Will operations improvements plus human resource training plans lead to higher profit ratios? Will finance’s improved ability to report on results, matched with marketing’s ramped up efforts in lead generation insure that your company knows if it’s on track with new business development?

If there are areas of shortfall, pull people in and explain the problem. Ask them to close the gap. Let them debate and propose solutions. Working out the details of how to hit the overall goals will help everyone get clear on what needs to happen.

Goals have limited value without a reporting system. Regular meetings, reports that track facts and analysis of key indicators are all essential. Many business owners lose out on their goals because they lack a routine for following through.

Set up weekly, monthly and quarterly meetings, with specific agenda, attendance list and reporting assignments. Ask people who are responsible for departmental goals to meet with their staff regularly and then meet with you to provide updates.

If there are problems, don’t let things slide. Challenge everyone to demonstrate progress towards their goals. Post reports where they are visible. The more people can see, the more they can get involved.

Report: Municipalities struggling to meet fiscal demands

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

S

ince 2008, governments at a municipal and county level in the Hudson Valley and across the state have had to deal with an economic recession, a decline in mortgage tax revenue, declining sales tax revenue, a tax cap on budgets and rising pension and health care costs. And it’s not over yet.

State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli recently released his annual report on local governments and expressed concern about New York municipalities’ ability to meet their respective fiscal challenges.

According to DiNapoli, more than 100 local governments do not have enough cash on hand to pay even 75 percent of their current liabilities and almost 300 ended fiscal years 2010 and/or 2011 in a deficit.

Twenty-seven local governments have not only drained their fund balances, but spent more than they had in them.

“Years of receding, stagnant and painfully slow economic growth have led local governments to cut vital services and tap their rainy day funds to balance budgets,” DiNapoli said in his report. “(This) is a practice that is not sustainable in the long term.”

The comptroller’s office will institute an early warning monitoring system to identify local governments experiencing budgetary issues so that actions can be taken before a crisis develops.

“I recognize that these are volatile fiscal times for New York’s local governments,” DiNapoli said. “The Office of the State Comptroller is committed to helping you get through these challenges.”

In the midst of a recession and the tax cap, municipalities have been judiciously holding their purse strings. Between 2010 and 2011, expenditures grew by less than 1 percent, while revenues decreased by 0.5 percent. In 2008, when the recession began, revenues were immediately cut in half and state aid also substantially dropped.

At the county level, health, cultural and recreational programs have been cut by $265 million statewide, while cities have cut public safety and garbage collection by $76.2 million. Towns and villages have cut garbage collection, as well as cultural and recreation programs by $77 million.

Cutting services have replaced raising taxes, due to the 2 percent tax cap on the tax levy signed into law in 2010 and general outcry over taxation and spending. Property tax increases averaged 2.9 percent between 2011 and 2012, down from 7.7 percent between 2002 and 2003.

Sales taxes increased 3.9 percent year to year in 2012, though sales tax increases averaged 5.1 percent before the recession.

Mortgage recording tax revenues continue to decline, though the decline is starting to slow as the housing market begins to rebound. Since 2005, when mortgage recording taxes peaked, governments have lost $320 million annually. Towns collected $249 million less in 2011 than in 2005.

To fill budget gaps without raising taxes, local governments have been dipping into their fund balances. Fund balances are down 28 percent from their peak in 2006. While municipalities routinely take money from fund balances, taking too much can cause bond ratings to drop and create fiscal insta-

bility down the road.

DiNapoli noted that while the economic outlook appears to be improving, local governments may still be in trouble. At the height of the recession, fund balances and money from the stimulus package helped keep municipalities afloat.

“Local governments in most of New York state are struggling with the effects of several years of structural budget imbalance,” DiNapoli said.

Charles Strome, the city manager of New Rochelle, said a lot of DiNapoli’s report was old news and that it didn’t address that state

mandates are hurting governments the most.

“He’s not telling us anything we don’t already know or do,” Strome said. “I find it tough to take. The level of government that is causing us the most fiscal stress is the one that tells us we’re in fiscal stress. If only they would come up with solutions.”

Strome said that further reductions in services will be needed if the state does not get serious mandate relief. During the 2012 budget process, the tax cap only allowed the city to raise $1.2 million in revenue, while health and pension costs totaled $2.8 million.

SPECIAL REPORT accounting

Accountants, small businesses bemoan unstable 2012

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

F

or accountants and small businesses, 2012 was a year of uncertainty with hopes that 2013 will have a light at the end of a long tunnel.

Small businesses, Schopfer already grappling with the prolonged economic downturn, first waited out a presidential election that would determine the fate of the Affordable Care Act. The re-election of President Barack Obama gave businesses little breathing room as they waited with bated breath to see if Congress would strike a deal to avoid going over the fiscal cliff.

“Without over-exaggerating, this was probably the most unpredictable year it could be for small businesses,” said Mike Durant, director of the New York chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB). “You can’t really pin it all on one thing.”

Durant also said that Hurricane Sandy further impacted small businesses. In 2013, businesses will also have to adjust their business models to determine how further implementation of the Affordable Care Act will affect them.

“You have to be active in groups and organizations and pay attention to make sure you have the best available information to make an informed decision,” said Durant. “Public policy and the economy are extremely tough to get a read on. We hope the economy picks up and that the ideological gridlock flushes itself out.”

Durant said that in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature have to look at ways that New York can be more business friendly. The NFIB is against New York raising the minimum wage.

“We already have the highest cost of doing business with mandates,” Durant said. “Increasing costs is not the route to take. We need regulatory reform and workers comp reform. The state needs to look in the mirror; we’ve been cutting off our nose

to spite our face.”

Bernadette Schopfer, director of taxation for White Plains-based Maier Markey & Justic L.L.P., said the fiscal cliff negotiations made for a tense holiday season for accountants.

The Jan. 1 deal also gives businesses little time to plan, and Schopfer blamed

Washington for waiting until the last minute.

“It’s one thing to plan and it’s another thing to scramble if you misunderstood or lost track of time,” said Schopfer. “But we knew about the fiscal cliff for a long time, we knew everything was going to hit, but no one paid attention to try and change this until the last minute. They made it a scramble.”

Schopfer said the deal made in Washington, D.C. means that things will not be as harsh as feared and most tax rates and deductions will remain the same. The government also approved a one-year patch for the Alternative Minimum Tax to adjust for inflation and kept Section 179, which allows small businesses to buy equipment and deduct the cost the year they buy it.

“There’s a lot of moving parts,” she said.

“I’m not completely well versed because it just happened this week. … You always have to be careful of unintended consequences. Businesses and people have to be well informed and proactive.”

According to Schopfer, from an accounting standpoint, 2012 was a very frustrating year.

“We didn’t know if things were going to change,” Schopfer said. “We didn’t know if rates were going to be higher or stay the same. It was hard to tell a client whether to accelerate or defer their income.”

All the uncertainty made it difficult for Schopfer and other accountants to assist with tax planning and develop a tax strategy.

“It made it impossible to evaluate things,” she said. “You can’t predict when you don’t know what the rates are going to be. You didn’t know what changes they were going to make or what they were going to undo.”

Schopfer said that while things are stable, the situation has been resolved and now they can better advise clients.

“It didn’t help with us how to handle year-end tax planning,” she said. “They needed to settle it in the fall. You need to give people the ability to execute transactions. We just couldn’t do anything.”

Schopfer said businesses and people have to remember that taxes are their own personal responsibility and to make sure they stay on top of the rules, saying that it’s their signature on the tax return. She said that the IRS website is a great source for information.

“It’s not a good signature if you don’t know the rules,” she said. “You can’t make a statement without knowing what you’re doing. It’s not about being misled by an accountant or tax preparer. You are supposed to pay the smallest amount you are obligated to pay. It’s not extra patriotic if you pay too much.”

A

widely discussed subject over the last several months has been the fiscal cliff, which would have imposed automatic across-the-board government spending cuts and dramatic tax changes affecting individuals, businesses and estates.

The extent of these changes would have resulted in unprecedented tax increases for most taxpayers.

On Jan. 1, Congress passed HR 8, the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which will prevent many of the tax increases that were scheduled to go into effect this year while at the same time retaining many of the scheduled tax breaks that were set to expire. The law does raise income taxes for those considered high-income individuals while slightly raising estate and gift tax rates.

Some key provisions of the new law include: Income tax rates: For tax years beginning after 2012, the income tax rates for individuals will stay as they were in 2012, but with a new 39.6 percent rate applying to joint filers and surviving spouses with incomes above $450,000, $425,000 for heads of household, $400,000 for single filers, and $225,000 for married taxpayers filing separately. These dollar amounts are inflationadjusted for tax years after 2013.

Capital gains and dividends: For tax years beginning after 2012, the top rate for long-term capital gains and qualified dividends will rise to 20 percent (up from 15 percent) for married taxpayers with incomes exceeding $450,000 ($400,000 for single taxpayers). Taxpayers whose income is below those thresholds will be eligible for the 15 percent rate, while certain lower-income taxpayers will be eligible for a zero percent tax rate. In addition to the capital gains changes, there is a new 3.8 percent surtax on investment-type income and gains for higher income tax payers.

Personal exemptions: For tax years beginning after 2012, the Personal Exemption Phaseout, which had previously been suspended, is reinstated with a starting threshold for those making $300,000 for joint filers and surviving spouses, $275,000 for heads of household, $250,000 for single filers, and $150,000 for married taxpayers filing separately.

Itemized deductions: For higher income taxpayers, the total amount of itemized deductions may be limited.

Estate and gift taxes: The law prevents

steep increases in estate, gift and generationskipping transfer taxes that were slated to be effective for individuals after 2012 by retaining the exemption level at $5,000,000 (as indexed for inflation). However, the law also increases the rates on these taxes from 35 percent to 40 percent. The law continues the portability feature that allows the estate of the first spouse to die to transfer his or her unused exclusion to the surviving spouse. The annual gift tax exclusion has been increased to $14,000.

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): The law also provides alternative minimum tax relief. Prior to the law, the individual AMT exemption amounts for 2012 were to have been $33,750 for unmarried taxpayers, $45,000 for joint filers and surviving spouses, and $22,500 for married persons filing separately. Retroactively effective for tax years beginning after 2011, the law increases these exemption amounts to $50,600 for unmarried taxpayers, $78,750 for joint filers and $39,375 for married persons filing separately. In addition, for tax years beginning after 2012, it indexes these exemption amounts for inflation.

Social Security Payroll Tax Cut: The new law allows the 2 percent cut in payroll taxes that was enacted two years ago to lapse.

Beginning in 2013, employees’ payroll social security withholding will increase from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent.

Several business credits have also been extended. Some of these include: • The research credit: modified and retroactively extended for two years through 2013.

• The new markets tax credit: retroactively extended for two years through 2013.

• Accelerated “bonus” depreciation: extended for one year.

The above list is by no means an entire description of all the changes in tax provisions which will be affected by the new law.

Each taxpayer needs to make a careful analysis in planning for 2013 and beyond.

INBRIEF CPA society opposes Martin Act expansion

The New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA) is opposing the state’s possible expansion of the Martin Act, which allows the state attorney general great leverage to fight financial fraud.

The state Senate and Assembly proposed bills in the 2012 legislation session that would require the state attorney general to investigate financial entities if a public pension fund trustee alleges that a practice is fraudulent under the Martin Act and allegedly caused damage to the fund that the trustee serves.

The NYSSCPA opposes the legislation, saying that existing law already grants greater authority to the attorney general than in any other state, and that it would

State granting tax breaks for solar purchases

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance announced it is offering tax breaks for installing solar energy equipment in commercial buildings.

A bill passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will waive the state’s 4 percent sales tax on the sale or installation of commercial solar energy systems equipment. The exemption also applies to the sales and use tax imposed in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District, which consists of New York City and Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester counties.

The law took effect Jan 1.

Residential solar energy systems equipment gained a similar tax break in 2005.

economically speaking

By Laurence P. Gottlieb

Handicapping the new year’s economic race

O

nly a few days into 2013 and deciding whether to view the year optimistically or pessimistically is already a challenge. As Westchester County’s “chief economist,” it is nearly impossible to escape a meeting or media interview without someone asking for my sunny (or dour) economic predictions for the year.

Just like a horse track stable boy, my prognostic power is more about firsthand

knowledge, rather than some deep, scientific analysis. Statistics do not win races; it is the horses – and the jockeys atop them – who cross the finish line. Often, in spite of negative data, entrepreneurs forge ahead, win races and we are a better nation for it.

This year, the conditions on the Westchester County track remain muddy, and so here are a few observations fresh out of the gate: • Given the complexities of decipher-

ing impacts from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare), and the potential for more tinkering on federal tax codes, overall hiring will remain sluggish and uneven for the foreseeable future – except among the legal, accounting, insurance and financial firms that individuals and businesses will hire to help move the woefully unprepared through this maze of new regulations.

• Forget the “fiscal cliff” battle, the real concern for companies from this point forward remains going “over 50,” the magic number of employees small business owners dread reaching because of the new federal health insurance requirements. In this region, the service and hospitality industries have kept hiring aloft for the past several years; however, this one issue may stunt their growth and/or cause inflation as businesses look to offset these new costs.

• The regional health care industry will accelerate its position as the leading employer for salaried workers and for entrepreneurial opportunities. We are already seeing a mindboggling explosion in the construction of new health care facilities, expansion of existing locations, the launch of new home health care providers, adaptive reuse of older commercial properties converting to medical offices, the rapid growth of regional private health care providers and potential mergers of other organizations. If your livelihood or business is not somehow connected to health care now, it will be in some capacity over the next decade.

• Westchester County will continue its position as the epicenter of the NY BioHud Valley life sciences cluster with more than 30 biotechnology companies in Westchester alone, including two of the largest in the world, Regeneron and Acorda Therapeutics.

These firms are rapidly expanding by adding employees just to keep up with the demand.

That’s great for the region, as every new scientist adds five other jobs to the local economy – three professionals and two nonprofessionals.

• Virtual and flexible workspaces are growing throughout the county, allowing more home-based business owners to move out of their spare bedrooms and into collaborative office environments – at least for a day or two a week. In these spaces, you will find hedge fund managers and freelancers sharing ideas over a cup of coffee. Think of these offices as entrepreneurial business incubators without government funding. These work settings are altering the way in which we deliver products and services to these firms.

That sounds challenging, but really, it is the sound of opportunity knocking.

Ultimately, Westchester County always succeeds, because no matter what the conditions on the ground, we have the winning talent on the track. That’s what makes horse racing, and what make Westchester County the best place for businesses to grow and prosper.

State to lighten load for SolarCity job-training costs

A solar energy services company in Elmsford that entered the metropolitan New York market in 2012 will be the first business in Westchester County this year to benefit from a state program that partially reimburses employers for the cost of training new employees.

SolarCity Corp., a solar panel manufacturer and installer headquartered in San Mateo, Calif., was the first to apply to the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Investment Board for the state’s federally funded On the Job Training program, County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced. He said the county will reimburse the company for at least half of the $160,000 it will spend to hire 40 employees over the next few weeks.

SolarCity last year leased an approximately 32,500-square-foot office and warehouse building at 203 Ridgewood Drive in Elmsford for use as its East Coast operations and training center.

Funded through a $6.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, the state program allows employers to receive subsidies for up to six months for hiring and training new full-time employees. The subsidies range from 50 to 90 percent of costs based on the size of the business.

John Andrews, regional recruiter at SolarCity, in a press release said the grant will be crucial to the company as it expands and “a significant boost to help solidify our local operations.”

For additional information on this and similar programs, businesses may contact either Bob Fois at (914) 995-4976, Milton David at (914) 995-8631 or Walter Recher at (914) 7617111, ext. 324. Employers also can apply online at westchesterputnamonestop.com.

Participating employers must hire trainees through a One-Stop Employment Center.

Oates leaves HVEDC to join venture fund

Michael Oates, president and CEO of New Windsor-based Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC), is resigning effective Feb. 4.

Oates, who ran HVEDC for more than three years, will become CEO of Garrisonbased Hudson River Ventures L.L.C., a business investment fund focused on the Hudson Valley and founded by Sean Eldridge.

“Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation has been in excellent hands ... with Mike Oates at the helm and we will miss his energy and passion for economic

development in the Hudson Valley,” HVEDC Chairman Steven V. Lant said in a statement.

“He has been an innovator in economic development for this region. We are thankful for his service to our organization.”

HVEDC is conducting a search for Oates’ replacement.

“I want to thank Steve and the board for giving me such a great opportunity to work with such a first-rate organization. I am very confident that HVEDC will continue its tremendous growth,” Oates said in a statement.

“HVEDC has very active board members and a talented staff that will maintain its mission of growth and service to the community of the Hudson Valley.”

HVEDC, a private nonprofit partnership, markets and advocates for the sevencounty Hudson Valley region as a prime business location to company executives and real estate brokers.

needs to be done,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement.

Rates for small groups will increase 9.59 percent, compared with the 15.77 percent hike that health insurers proposed. This will impact 1.2 million people.

Aetna premiums, covering 40,417 people, will increase of 7.38 percent, down from 11.04 percent that the insurer proposed.

Empire plans, covering 77,984 people, will increase 7.47 percent, down from 7.63 percent.

Oxford plans, covering 640,314 people, will see an increase of 10.05 percent, down from 19.96 percent. Rates at UnitedHealthcare Insurance Co. of New York, which covers 254,847 people, will increase of 2.77 percent, down from 3.24 percent.

PILOT approved for proposed Middletown medical college

Ten of the country’s largest mortgage servicers have agreed to pay a combined $8.5 billion over mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure processing abuse claims, according to the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Separately, Bank of America Corp. announced it had reached a $10 billion settlement with Fannie Mae to settle claims concerning troubled mortgages issued primarily by the bank’s Countrywide Financial unit.

Mortgage lenders Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo will pay a combined $3.3 billion in direct payments to eligible borrowers and $5.2 billion in other assistance, such as loan modifications and forgiveness of deficiency judgments.

The settlement stems from enforcement actions taken in April 2011 by the Fed, the OCC and the Office of Thrift Supervision, and applies to borrowers whose homes were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010. Eligible borrowers are expected to receive compensation ranging from hundreds of dollars to $125,000, depending on the type of possible servicer error, according to a statement released by the Fed. In the separate settlement agreement reached by Bank of America and Fannie Mae, the Charlotte-based bank will pay Fannie Mae $3.6 billion and will spend an additional $6.75 billion to buy back mortgages from Fannie Mae at a discounted rate compared with their original value.

The Middletown Industrial Development Agency approved a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement for a planned medical college run by Touro College at the closed Horton Hospital complex.

Touro College owns and operates New York Medical College, a 1,660-student facility in Valhalla, with other colleges in New York City and Long Island. Touro, a Jewish-sponsored independent college, took over New York Medical College from the Archdiocese of New York in 2009.

The Danza Leser Group, which owns the Middletown property, would pay no property taxes in 2014, and pay $59,379 in property taxes in 2015. Payments would go up $60,000 a year to $831,300 in 2028, before being taxed at full assessed value.

Both sides are reviewing the PILOT. The Danza Group would convert the hospital, which closed in 2011, into an osteopathic medical school.

Prior to Danza Leser buying the property, the property was tax exempt.

State cuts insurance increase requests

The state Department of Financial Services (DFS) announced it has cut health premium rate increases requested by insurance companies.

The agency’s action is expected to save New Yorkers more than $500 million on their health insurance premiums. Insurers requested rate increases on average of 12.4 percent, but the DFS cut the average increase to 7.5 percent. The policies impact about 2.3 million New Yorkers.

A 2-year-old law gives the DFS the power to review rate requests. Insurers are required to spend 82 cents of every premium dollar on health care services.

“We have made progress in holding back rates, but we recognize that much more

Banks reach $8.5 billion foreclosure deal

Regeneron raises red flag over mini-tender offer

Officers at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Greenburgh have cautioned shareholders not to respond to an unsolicited mini-tender offer by a Canadian firm well known in the securities industry for the practice of buying stock at discount prices from unwitting investors while avoiding regulators’ scrutiny.

TRC Capital Corp. in Toronto on Dec.

28 offered to buy up to 1 million shares, or slightly more than 1 percent of outstanding Regeneron common stock, at a price about 4.5 percent below the last closing price of the stock before the offer was made. The $161.25 per-share offer was a nearly 10.8 percent discount to the price of the biotechnology company’s common stock Jan. 3.

“Regeneron does not endorse TRC’s offer and recommends that shareholders do not tender their shares in response to the offer because it is a so-called ‘mini-tender’ offer at a price below the current market price for Regeneron shares and is subject to numerous conditions,” the company said in a Jan. 4 press release.

Regeneron, the state’s largest biotech employer, urged shareholders considering the offer to obtain current market quotations for their shares, review the conditions to the offer, consult with their broker or financial adviser and “exercise caution.”

Mini-tender offers seek to acquire less than 5 percent of a company’s outstanding shares and thereby avoid many disclosure and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for larger tender offers. The SEC on its website has cautioned investors that “some bidders make mini-tender offers at belowmarket prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.”

Regeneron gets energy funds

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will provide $765,000 to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. for energy efficiency projects expected to save the biotechnology company $500,000 in annual energy costs.

NYSERDA’s money allows Regeneron to implement measures such as demand control ventilation, occupancy sensors and highefficiency rooftop units. The agency estimated that Regeneron would save 1.2 million kilowatt hours or the equivalent of electricity consumed by 180 single-family homes.

Wilson Elser practice named nation’s best

Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker L.L.P. has been named national law firm of the year on the defense side of medical malpractice law by U.S. News Media Group in conjunction with the legal marketing network Best Lawyers. The award recognizes one law firm in each of the 80 practice areas ranked nationally.

Wilson Elser’s Westchester office represents the largest law firm in the county.

The publications also named Wilson Elser to the first tier nationally for its representation of defendants in mass tort litigation/class actions and professional malpractice law.

LEGAL SERVICES OF THE HUDSON VALLEY

For 45 years, Legal Services of the Hudson Valley (LSHV) has been providing free high quality noncriminal legal services to low-income families and individuals. The dedicated staff of more than 85 lawyers, advocates, administrators and support staff - along with more than 900 private attorney volunteers – advances our credo: Protecting Rights, Promoting Justice.

18 January 14, 2013 • WCBJ • HV Biz

With offices in White Plains, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Kingston, Newburgh, New City and Poughkeepsie, the attorneys have helped more than 150,000 clients –– more than 16,000 last year alone. Many people think that the right to an attorney is automatic but the fact is attorneys are not guaranteed for most noncriminal matters. That is why LSVH exists, to step in and provide essential legal assistance to those who cannot afford an attorney. A few of the services, which LSHV handles are housing, elder law, protection and advocacy for the disabled and children’s advocacy. The overarching goal is to relieve households of the stress of legal issues that can lead to the break-up of a family, homelessness and the undermining of our communities. Intact families build stronger communities –– intact families are good for kids!

This year LSHV has added new services for two key target populations.

These include a special veterans’ unit to help those men and women – often Wounded Warriors – who have served our country but now at home face legal issues that require the assistance of an attorney. And the second new division is targeted to community college students at risk of dropping out.

When students are relieved of this kind of stress, (emancipation, eviction prevention, consumer debt resolution, etc.) they are more likely to remain in school, get an education and achieve a college degree and ultimately find greater employment opportunities.

These are just some of the services provided by Legal Services of the Hudson Valley. To find more, please visit www.lshv.org or call (914) 9491305 for more information.

WHY GIVE QUOTE:

“As an attorney I am keenly aware of the need of low-income and indigent families and individuals in our community to have access to our legal system for civil matters. The attorneys and staff at Legal Services of the Hudson Valley work tirelessly to ensure these folks have the access they need for their urgent legal needs. I am proud to partner with Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and to work toward equal access to justice for all residents of our community.”

ABILITY BEYOND DISABILITY In 1953, Ability Beyond Disability was founded by a group of parents who dreamt of a better life for their children, where disability did not define who they were, what they did or where they could go. Over the years, Ability Beyond Disability has grown and helped thousands of people with intellectual, physical and mental challenges to discover, build and celebrate their abilities. The strong belief in community inclusion allows Ability Beyond Disability to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

WHY GIVE QUOTE:

Message from Jim Steets When your not-for-profit positions itself in the market for 2013, will it focus on past proven successes or future opportunities?

Recent studies have indicated that people gravitate toward potential success more often than they look toward past proven statistical triumphs. For example, a potential donor may be more interested in making a gift toward a not-forprofit that creates a vision of what can be done with donations rather than one that relies on pointing out past achievements from similar donors.

How might your organization learn from this study and position itself for success in 2013? Talk about where you are going. What are the possibilities, opportunities and targets you will work hard to achieve in the coming year. Create a compelling vision for the future and find out who wants to get on board.

— Jim Steets, Vice President, Communications, Entergy

“As soon as I was introduced to Ability Beyond Disability, I was impressed. A well-run organization, Ability Beyond Disability is completely focused on its mission of serving people with disabilities. Ably led by Tom Fanning and a whole team of greatly talented people, Ability Beyond Disability serves literally thousands of people with community living and job-training programs that give people important life and job skill sets, helping them achieve their goals.

I got involved because I saw that this was an important organization offering meaningful services to people who really needed it, and I wanted to help in any way that I could. ”

- Jim Diamond, CEO Diamond Properties L.L.C, Mt. Kisco

The presentation by Environmental Educator Judy Onufer will be held at the Outdoor Discovery Center on Muser Drive, across from 174 Angola Road, Cornwall.

“Today’s Farmer’s Almanac bases its forecast, in part, on sunspot activity,” says Onufer. “Many weather predictors that date back from maritime culture centuries ago are based on valid scientific climatology principles.”

Admission: $7/adults and $5/children. Museum members: $5/adults - $3/children. For more information visit hhnaturemuseum.org or call (845) 534-5506, ext. 204.

New digs for OC Land Trust

Orange County Land Trust has relocated its office from downtown Middletown to the Kurt and Arlette Seligmann Homestead on White Oak Drive in Sugar Loaf, sharing the 55-acre estate with several nonprofit organizations.

The Land Trust moved into the ground floor office space in the historic barn and gallery, previously occupied by the Citizens Foundation and the Arts Council. These two organizations’ offices now occupy the 18th century former residence of the late artist Kurt Seligmann and his wife, Arlette.

“We feel fortunate to be able to provide the Land Trust

On Sunday, Jan. 13 at 10 a.m., the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum’s Outdoor Discovery Center will offer a presentation on scat – animal poop – left behind by woodland creatures. Environmental educator Carl Heitmuller will tell how to discover clues not only about what animal has been present, but also about their habitats.

“As in the case of turkey scat,” Heitmuller said, “the shape can determine whether a male or female was present.”

Admission: $7/adults - $5/children. Museum members: $5/adults - $3/children. For information visit the museum’s website at hhhnaturemuseum.org.

with a new home, rounding out our informal nonprofit campus here, with the Citizens Foundation, Orange Pathways, the Seligmann Center for the Arts, the Orange County Arts Council, and now the Orange County Land Trust,” said Nancy Proyect, president of the Citizens Foundation. “We look forward to not only sharing the offices and land but sharing new ideas and services whenever possible.”

“While we are sad to no longer have our offices at the Mills House where our founder Louis V. Mills was born and lived for many years, we see our move to Sugar Loaf as a good opportunity to have, as we grow, larger office space, proximity to other wonderful nonprofits, as well as a chance to be surrounded by a beautiful piece of land, which is what the land trust is all about,” said Marlena Lange, president of the Orange County Land Trust.

The new mailing address for the Land Trust is P.O. Box 269, Sugar Loaf, New York 10981. Board and staff can be reached by calling (845) 469-0951. The website remains www.oclt.org.

Elant, Walden Savings team up

The Elant Foundation has announced a collaboration with Walden Savings Bank to launch its annual fundraising initiative.

Proceeds will benefit “The New Elant Dining Experience,” which will include increased menu selection, personalized tableside care and a new, restaurant-style environment where

social media trends Being social about social causes

W

ithin two days after Hurricane Sandy hit, I received a Facebook link from Causes asking for a donation. Within a week after the horrific killings at Newtown, I was asked to sign a petition for gun control legislation that already had more than 100,000 signatures.

As of the writing of this article, more than 2.5 million people have signed the Sandy Hook Elementary School Global Sympathy Card.

While there are still some naysayers concerning the effectiveness of social media marketing, unsurprisingly, they become quiet when discussing the effectiveness of social media and social causes.

I’m not sure what the difference is since the marketing of social causes and corporate services and products have many similarities, particularly their heavy reliance on word-of-mouth and emotional marketing.

One of the strengths of social media is its ability to elicit emotion. In fact, many of the most successful online marketing campaigns are designed to elicit emotion.

Titles like “How to Engage Fans on …” and “Tonight We Create an Awesome …” and the like are designed to titillate your curiosity and get you to click on their link. Testimonials are golden and if they are sufficient in number or include an industry leader, they can effectively persuade interested people to take some type

Realtors name new officers

of action.

It is largely because of this emotional reaction and desire to help (which in itself is an emotion) that makes cause marketing so effective. Cause marketing helps create goodwill and attract attention to your company and brand. It also helps you distinguish your company from your competitors. Furthermore, if your company becomes passionate with your cause, you may also build advocates who generate buzz across a wide number of social networks, the requirement for a potential viral campaign.

In a recent study, public relations firm Edelman found that “when quality and price were the same, 53 percent of brands that had a social purpose were more likely to trigger a purchase.” Additionally, almost three times more monthly purchases were made from companies that supported social causes than ones that do not.

I haven’t examined the study or the analysis of the results, so I can’t say whether or not some bias existed in the study – particularly since Edelman will benefit from the results. I’m also somewhat suspicious about the “three times more monthly purchases” since that might be a result of better marketing or the particular products that were sold.

Yet, the results are compelling for two simple reasons: word of mouth and customer goodwill. The latter is the reason why many firms that accept payments

Learn what the buzz is about

With honeybees hibernating, it’s the perfect time to learn about beekeeping.

Apiculturist Darren Fogarty and environmental educator Pam Golben will be presenting an introductory course on beekeeping Jan. 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum on Muser Drive, Cornwall. “In the summer, there can be up to 60,000 worker bees in a honeybee hive,” said Golben. “The queen lays about 1,500 eggs a day.” The four-hour program will provide information, including basic bee biology, where to order bees, what you need to get started and common problems. This beekeeping course requires prepaid registration and is for adults and children ages 15 and up. Admission: $60. Museum members: $45. To register online go to hhnaturemuseum.org or call (845) 534-5506, ext 204.

include an optional donation for some charity; they help that charity and obtain goodwill from their customers.

Let’s try a simple test right now.

Company A produces a great product that you need. Company B produces the same great product but also runs a passionate campaign for a noble cause – let’s say supporting childhood leukemia research. With everything being the same, which company would you purchase your product from?

Suppose Company A sent you monthly updates on their product line and Company B sent you monthly updates on the children they have helped – and if you’re interested, you may click on a picture or a link to learn the latest on their product line updates. Which email would you be more apt to respond to or remember?

Suppose Company B sweetened their mailing with a statement that 10 percent of every purchase would be donated to their cause. How would that affect your decision process? Would you also be more likely to discuss the offer or send it to your friends? This is the basis for many successful social cause marketing campaigns.

So, if you decide to take on a social cause campaign, here are some tips you can implement.

Find a charity or cause you strongly believe in, one that elicits an emotional commitment. Discuss this with your employees. If any of them already work

closely with a cause, you might want to work with their cause if you also feel passionate about it. Focus on only one cause.

Contact the cause and discuss how you can help them. Based on your discussion, build a brief outline of the campaign you wish to do for them and discuss it again with them. (This sometimes works better with smaller causes than larger ones.) You only need two goals to make this campaign successful: you must genuinely want to help your cause and you must have a way of publicizing your involvement. A creative campaign that relies on referral marketing can be highly effective and stands the best chance of going viral.

Social media is a rapidly growing and evolving platform that has become an important part of our daily existence. In the process, it has altered how we do business, our methods of communication and our support of social causes.
