Burke gets OK for new residency program

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

P

hysiatry is not exactly a familiar profession, but Burke Rehabilitation Hospital intends to advance the little known yet vital branch of medicine with a residency program that will train the next generation of practitioners.

The hospital’s name contains the clue that makes the profession recognizable. Think of occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. But the field, also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR), is much more.

Physiatrists are physicians who treat physical impairments affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments,

muscles and tendons — everything from traumatic brain injury to tennis elbow.

“We maximize function and minimize pain,” said Dr. Karen Pechman, Burke’s director of graduate medical education.

Physiatry is a young profession.

The American Medical Association formally recognized the field as a specialty in 1946, though physicians had been practicing physical therapies for many years.

Burke opened in 1915 and has been at the forefront of PMR. The 150-bed hospital in White Plains treats a broad variety of injuries and diseases: stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation, joint replacement, complicated fractures, arthritis, cardiac and pul» BURKE, page 6

Tools for independence

CENTURY-OLD SENIOR CARE NONPROFIT SHIFTS FOCUS TO INNOVATIVE FUNDING

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH

A

rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

century-old nonprofit operator of homes for seniors is shifting its focus to funding technologies that help keep seniors out of nursing facilities, reflecting a trend in the industry.

Aging in America has built and maintained independent living facilities in New York City

and its suburbs since 1852. At one point the company managed 700 employees across several facilities and educational programs. Today, it is down to three employees and a partnership with one senior care facility.

The stripped down nonprofit, which moved its office from the Bronx to 2975 Westchester Ave. in Purchase in March, announced

this spring that it would shift its focus. The nonprofit has millions of dollars from sales of its operations that it intends to use for investments and grants to companies that develop technology to help seniors live independently. It will also look to partner with other nonprofit organizations that provide senior services and housing.

“We know that most seniors want to stay at home,” said William Smith, the CEO and president of Aging in America. “In order for that to happen, technology will have to play a much bigger role than it does today. So we’re looking at that instrument as a possible investment opportunity.”

Smith has been CEO of Aging

in America for 23 years and in the long-term care business for 45. In that time, he said he has seen the financial environment shift in a way that makes it difficult for small nonprofits to maintain nursing homes or any other large senior care facilities.

The combination of increasing costs from labor and state mandates, paired with a decrease in state and federal funding, have strained tight resources for small nonprofits. Smith said this provides an advantage to larger corporations in the senior care industry, as they can pool resources among several facilities for costs savings.

“I think we are seeing the beginning of a shrinking of not-

for-profit entities, unless they are really huge and can sustain this battle with the outside funders,” Smith said.

EARLY PRACTITIONER

Aging in America traces its roots to very small beginnings. It started with just one resident.

That was in 1852, when the Rev. Dr. Isaac Tuttle of St. Luke’s Church in the West Village rented a room near his church for an elderly congregant unable to care for herself. Tuttle quickly recognized that there were many women in the neighborhood in similar situations, so he rented an entire building at 543 Hudson St., » AGING, page 6

Biz Blue Nile brings ‘bricks and clicks’ jewelry store to Westchester

A

new store has opened in The Westchester mall, though it may be one of the few where customers shouldn’t expect to walk out the door with their new purchases in hand.

Blue Nile, the largest online retailer of diamonds and fine jewelry, opened a brickand-mortar “webroom” at the mall in White Plains on May 27. A hybrid of online and instore shopping, the store allows customers to browse more than 400 styles of jewelry in-person.

“Customers want to see what it looks like in real life,” webroom manager Candice Liu said. “It’s hard to tell on an image.”

But all orders will still need to be placed online, which can be done in the store.

Purchases will then be shipped to a customer’s home or to the store for pick-up.

The brightly lit interior of the store, which Josh Holland, senior manager of brand and marketing communications, said is a stark contrast to the “dark, cavernous” feel other jewelry stores, features video screens linked with Blue Nile’s social media accounts to show customers displaying their purchases in real time. Along with jewelry displayed in the more traditional glass cases, each store also features open tables with rings tethered to fixtures, allowing custom-

ers to try on rings without needing to ask an employee for assistance.

“People have fun trying on rings free of the pressure of a salesperson,” Holland said, adding that all associates working at the webrooms are noncommissioned.

“It’s very different from what you usually see from a jewelry store.”

In the center of the display cases are iPads, allowing customers to purchase their desired pieces in what Holland calls “our version of the Apple Genius Bar.” Like Apple, the Blue Nile webroom joins the “bricks and clicks” trend, a model that combines the retailer’s robust online presence with a physical storefront.

“Consumers are evolving,” he said.

“Retailers must evolve with them.”

The White Plains store is the second physical location for the Seattle-based retailer. The first opened at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City last year.

Blue Nile began experimenting with the concept in 2013 by placing small kiosks inside the bridal section at two Nordstrom stores, one at a mall in downtown Seattle and another at Roosevelt Field. Holland said that 91 percent of those who visited the displays came to Nordstrom for the sole purpose of trying on rings, even though they would need to make any purchases online.

Those kiosks provided “significant sales per square foot” for Blue Nile, a fact the company found compelling enough to expand its physical presence. Though he would not divulge specific figures, Holland said the webrooms have also provided a lift to Blue Nile’s online sales, and of the Roosevelt Field location, “broadly, we consider it a success.”

“It’s kind of a fun paradox,” Holland said of the store’s ability to sell more items with less inventory and a smaller overhead footprint.

Holland believes Blue Nile’s webroom is the first onlinecontrolled display room in the industry.

While this business model allows Blue Nile to keep costs low, Holland said it’s also a way to get consumers “more comfortable with buying online.”

The Westchester’s webroom opening comes following Blue Nile’s firstquarter earnings announcement on May 5. The company reported that net sales, though falling within forecasts, were down 3.2 percent year-over-year at $103.1 million.

Earnings per share fell about 10 percent on the year to 9 cents per share.

During a conference call following the earnings announcement, Blue Nile CEO Harvey Kanter said he sees these webrooms as “a catalyst for future growth” in a challenging environment for diamond prices.

“The webrooms are still what we would consider to be conceptual, and we’re trying to understand how they extend into different markets,” CFO David Binder said during the call.

The webrooms are set to expand to two new locations later this summer: Tyson’s Corner Center mall in Virginia and the Washington Square mall in Portland.

Holland said the stores' locations are based on a number of factors, including demographic, traffic in the malls and finding the right space.

“I think it’s very much a learning period for us, and we’re very optimistic,” Binder said. “But we’re also cautious in what a different market may do relative to the success that we’ve had at Roosevelt Field.”

Holland said Blue Nile is in talks to continue expanding the webrooms nationwide, though it’s “too soon to tell” what an ideal future would look like.

“We’re still in a testing phase,” he said.

Jobs galore, if you have the right credentials

BY BILL HELTZEL

D

bheltzel@westfairinc.com

ecent entry-level jobs used to require only a high school diploma, but increasingly employers are looking for workers with more sophisticated skills and advanced training.

But there is a mismatch between what employers want and the available talent pool, particularly in the occupations in greatest demand. In some cases, colleges are not offering the right programs.

That’s according to a report issued by Westchester Community College titled, “Connecting to Promising Careers: MiddleSkill Jobs in the Lower Hudson Valley.”

“We hear it often,” said Tere Wisell, vice president and dean of workforce development and community education at the college in Valhalla. “Employers are not able to sign up the right employees. But we know there are people out there looking for work.”

The report is meant as a kind of road map to identifying the hot jobs and the training that will help workers fill those jobs.

It defines entry-level middle skill occupations as jobs that require more than a high school diploma but less than a bachelor’s degree. It describes them as gateways to more lucrative occupations.

An estimated 11 to 18 percent of the jobs

in the Hudson Valley fall into the middle skill category, and most of them pay at or above the average entry-level wage of $22,340.

Researchers set out to identify three occupational sectors that pay well, are in high demand, offer opportunities for career advancement and yet have a shortage of qualified candidates in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. Three fields met the criteria: health information management, tech support and hospitality management.

Health care is the region’s largest sector, accounting for nearly one in seven jobs, and the state Department of Labor projects that these occupations will grow by 25 percent through 2022.

The researchers focused on a subsector, health management, where “hiring demand is strong and appears to have outpaced the supply of workforce and educational programming.”

Those jobs are in hospitals, doctor and dentist offices, health insurance companies and government agencies. An employee can start out as a medical secretary at $31,000 a year or a clerk at $35,000.

After a year or two of experience, employees can begin moving up the ranks. A coder who began as a patient registrar at $34,000 a year could become an inpatient coder at $40,000 and eventually a coding compliance specialist making $65,000. A birth reg-

istrar starting out at $32,000 could eventually make $65,000 as manager of specialized cancer programs.

Experience is essential to getting ahead, but at every step along the career path employers require more credentials. The employee must have specific industry certifications, and the higher they go the more likely they will need an associate degree or bachelor’s degree.

Employers want more than just technical expertise. They want workers with strong customer service know-how. Wisell calls them “employability skills.” These include the ability to communicate well verbally and in writing and the ability to work independently as well as in teams.

Nearly one-fourth of the population in Westchester was Hispanic or Latino in 2014, according to the U.S. Census, and more than 6 percent were Asian. Thus, bilingual workers are in demand.

A number of educational institutions offer training in medical billing and coding. But billing and coding are distinct functions. As a result of the report, Westchester Community College is looking at separating those fields into two programs.

There also is a demand for workers with a registered health information technician associate degree, yet there is no such program

in the lower Hudson Valley.

The report highlighted the same kinds of patterns, problems and opportunities in tech support and hospitality management.

A technical network support specialist could begin a career at $39,000 and, with the right credentials and experience, become an $88,000-a-year IT project manager.

A hotel front desk agent making $28,000 could progress to a hotel operations director making $71,000.

Wisell said any educational institution in the region can use the report to adapt its programs. It is particularly applicable to the region’s community colleges, which are meant to support the needs of the region’s workforce.

The report says nothing about who pays for the training. Westchester Community College charges about $5,000 a year in tuition and fees, so an associate degree costs about $10,000. “Clearly, we see that as an investment,” Wisell said.

The report was funded by a $150,000 grant from JPMorgan Chase & Co. Besides the community college, several businesses, business associations, colleges, government agencies and job programs collaborated in the nearly year-long research project. The New York City Labor Market Information Service at City University of New York did the underlying research.

BRIEFLY STARK OFFICE SUITES RELOCATES IN MOUNT KISCO STARK OFFICE SUITES, A METROPOLITAN area provider of turnkey executive offices and virtual-office services, has signed a long-term lease at a Mount Kisco office building owned

by Stark’s office landlord in Scarsdale.

The company announced it will occupy the entire first floor at 118 N. Bedford Road, relocating its Mount Kisco office from 100 S. Bedford Road. The newly leased property is owned and managed by Celestial Capital Group LLC, which also owns and manages 2 Overhill Road in Scarsdale, where Stark Office Suites opened an executive-office

center in 2009.

Founded in 2004 by Adam Stark, the company is headquartered in Rye Brook and also has offices in Manhattan, Harrison, White Plains, Danbury, Greenwich and Stamford. Its offices serve more than 800 clients and total 175,000 square feet of space.

Stark Office Suites has more than tripled its revenue in the past six years, according to the company.

Stark in the announcement said the office move gives clients “a significantly upgraded facility with a brand new high-end build-out in a prime location. This building is truly the jewel of Mount Kisco and will allow us to continue to grow our Mount Kisco presence.”

The company said the new state- of-theart facility will serve as the model for future Stark offices and renovations. The Mount Kisco location is home to more than 100 clients across a variety of industries that include law, finance, marketing and real estate.

Stark Office Suites was represented

in the lease deal by Eric Goldschmidt of Goldschmidt & Associates in Scarsdale.

YONKERS DOCTORS JOIN WESTMED SOUTHERN WESTCHESTER OB/GYN ASSOCIATES has merged with Westmed Medical Group.

“Westmed is always interested in highquality doctors and expanding our footprint across Westchester to provide better services for our patients,” said Dr. Richard Morel, comedical director for Westmed.

The physicians include Rosalie Alvarado, Philip Florio, Dmitry Gerber, John Ilario and Shahram Razmzan. They will continue to practice at their two Yonkers locations, at 1022 N. Broadway and 656 Yonkers Ave., and they will retain their staff and add a phlebotomist at the North Broadway office.

Westmed already had 35 obstetrical and gynecological providers at other locations, and delivers more than 2,000 babies a year at White Plains Hospital and Greenwich Hospital. The new doctors serve about 11,000 patients and practice at St. John’s

The advantage to Westmed, Morel said, is that it can now expand obstetrical and gynecological services to another area of Yonkers.

Westmed also has a multidisciplinary office at Ridge Hill in northwest Yonkers.

He said small practices are finding it difficult to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Westmed provides the support services.

Health care metrics are closely tracked, for example. Its clinical laboratory can quickly process test results. Patients get access to online services such as scheduling, prescriptions and secure email communications with doctors.

Before the merger, Westmed, headquartered in Purchase, had 321 physicians practicing at nine locations. It is known for consolidating a variety of specialties in one place, enabling patients to get all of their health care needs met at one time and place.

YONKERS SCHOOL OFFICIAL GETS PRISON TERM FOR BUS SERVICE THEFT A YONKERS PUBLIC SCHOOLS TRANSPORTATION supervisor has been sentenced to state prison and a Yonkers bus company owner faces felony charges for their alleged theft of about $280,000 from the city as payments for phantom bus pickups.

Yonkers resident Anna Sollozzo, a 54-year-old transportation supervisor for the Yonkers Board of Education, was sentenced on June 1 to two to six years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal tax fraud for her role in a scheme carried out from September 2012 to April 2014, according to acting Westchester County District Attorney James A. McCarty.

Her alleged accomplice, 60-year-old Armonk resident William Ahern, owner of A Plus Transportation in Yonkers, was arraigned June 6 on felony counts of seconddegree grand larceny and second-degree rewarding official misconduct. Ahern allegedly submitted false invoices that Sollozzo approved for bus pickups of students at the Nepperhan Community Center. The services were never provided, according to the district attorney’s office.

A Plus Transportation had contracts with the city for bus services that totaled approximately $2.8 million for roughly the period over which the alleged fraud occurred.

Prosecutors charged that Ahern during the same period made secret deposits totaling $107,250 into Sollozzo’s personal bank account. Sollozzo failed to pay $282,398 in state income tax due from March 2011 to April 2014, according to the district attorney’s office.

Prosecutors said the fraud at the board of education was discovered while the Yonkers inspector general was investigating an unrelated complaint.

Burke — From page 1

monary diseases and neurological disorders.

Patients typically are transferred from acute care hospitals once they have stabilized and are ready for intensive therapy. Besides physiatrists, the medical staff includes neurologists, internists, rheumatologists, pulmonologists and neurophysiologists.

Burke also operates outpatient facilities and a medical research institute. Last year 2,198 patients were treated at the hospital and 7,454 in outpatient settings.

In short, it’s the ideal place to train the next generation of PMR physicians.

Burke had already been training residents from other academic institutions, mostly for rotations in the spinal cord and traumatic brain injury clinics.

Now Burke will train physicians in the full range of PMR in a three-year program.

A year ago, Dr. Mary Beth Walsh, Burke’s CEO and executive medical director, charged

the staff with creating the program.

“She’s the driving force behind everything here,” Pechman said. “She’s the kind of leader who thinks, ‘What’s going to be here after I leave?’ She wants to make sure that Burke is this wonderful place doing wonderful things for patients forever.”

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education certified both the institution and the residency program.

Program administrator Michelle Kenny spearheaded the application process. Dr. Anne Felicia Ambrose is the residency program director.

Burke also got support for its program through its recent affiliation with Montefiore Health System and its pending affiliation with Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

The accreditation council gave Burke approval to train 12 physicians. The hospital is asking for approval for an additional three, for a total of five residents a year.

The first class — medical school graduates who have completed a one-year internship — will start in July.

Burke’s case mix and patient load is hard to match, Pechman said. Residents will learn how to manage “anything that comes through the door.”

They will be put through rotations in every aspect of PMR, led by 15 attending physicians. The pediatric rotation will be overseen by Dr. Maria Pici, medical director at nearby Children’s Rehabilitation Center in White Plains.

Every resident will do at least one major research project and present the findings at a national meeting. They will also do at least one quality and safety improvement project.

Pechman is still mindful of the rigors of her own residency training; her son is currently a surgical resident.

“So I want to make sure we take very good care of these residents and make sure they are supported and well-educated and enjoy being here.”

Burke will continue to train residents from other academic institutions who want to do specific rotations.

“We are constantly teaching,” Pechman

said. “It’s actually going to be so much fun. If I may be so brazen as to say, we’re really good at what we do.”

Many of the residency program applicants got interested in PMR because they knew a physiatrist or they learned to appreciate the discipline when a family member was treated.

It’s a field that “goes under the radar unless you need it,” Pechman said. When she was certified in PMR in 1987, there were only about 3,000 physiatrists in the county. Today there are maybe twice as many.

But she thinks the demand for PMR expertise is strong and growing.

It wasn’t so long ago that a hip fracture in an elderly patient was ominous, making them prone to blood clots and pneumonia.

Now such injuries “need not be life-altering events,” she said.

Advances in PMR have enabled patients to return to work, overcome impairments, maintain quality of life and live longer.

“We’re all living longer and we all want to be as active as possible for that entire time,” she said, “so there is an incredible need.

services, research and continuing education, in-home services such as meals-onwheels and social services for seniors.

To avoid confusion between the Morningside House Nursing Home facilities,and Morningside House, which developed and ran the programs, Morningside House changed its name to Aging in America in 1982. The name was trademarked in 1990, but the organization does license it out for national conferences.

Aging in America is involved in, the organization has a decision to make by 2017. Right now, the organization provides one social worker to the entity, but it has the option to take over the operation and its mortgage next year or to sell it to a new operator. Smith said the board is still weighing the decision.

But the increasing costs of managing senior care facilities isn’t the only reason Aging in America wants to shift focus. The term “age in place” is commonly used in the health care industry to describe the preference of older Americans to stay at home and within their communities.

Aging in America, citing a report from John Hancock Financial Service Inc., said staying out of a nursing home can save seniors in New York more than $100,000 per year.

Starting next year, Aging in America plans to put out a request for proposals for projects, mostly focused in technology, that can help seniors age in place. Smith said the nonprofit is likely to provide $50,000 to $100,000 to an undecided number of projects each year. It has about $28 million in assets from the recent sales of its operations that can fund new ventures, he said. The organization is also considering providing low-interest loans to nonprofit senior living developments.

To allow seniors to save that money and keep their independence, Smith said funding for this kind of innovation is needed.

“We think technology will help keep people independent,” Smith said. “We want to empower seniors to take charge of their own destiny.”

which incorporated in 1854 as St. Luke’s Home for Indigent Christian Females. St. Luke’s bounced around to a few other facilities before building one at 2914 Broadway in the city. By 1900, that facility was renamed St. Luke’s Home for Aged Women and had 87 residents.

50 elderly women on Boston Post Road in the Bronx. Both nonprofits were looking to expand and decided to pool resources to build and maintain a new facility. That became the Morningside House Nursing Home Co. in the Bronx, which consisted of two buildings with 386 beds total. The building was one of the first in the country to feature a floor designated for the care of residents with Alzheimer’s disease.

After completing the facility, Morningside’s board turned its attention to developing programs. By 1990, it was overseeing efforts that managed employment

Aging in America has since been involved in projects in Woodbury and Lake Ronkonkoma on Long Island and Haverstraw in Rockland County.

But around the time of the Great Recession in 2008, the nonprofit, like so many others, ran into financial challenges. The amount of money the organization could draw from investment income on its endowment shrank and increasing labor costs and state mandates strained already limited resources, Smith said.

“The board went through a process for about four years of whether or not we should stay in the business of running a nursing home or sell it before it loses equity and the possibility of going into bankruptcy,” Smith said.

Aging in America sold its facility in Lake Ronkonkoma in 2012 to Chicago-based Ventas Inc. and sold Morningside House and all of its programs to Cassena Care in 2014.

DEALS &DEEDS NYP/HUDSON VALLEY HOSPITAL LEASES YORKTOWN OFFICE SPACE NEW YORK-PRESBYTERIAN/HUDSON VALLEY HOSPITAL HAS LEASED 15,000 square feet of office space for administrative staff at 2649 Strang Blvd. in Northern Westchester Executive Park in Yorktown Heights.

The 10-year lease was announced by GHP Office Realty LLC in West Harrison, owner of the 209,000-square-foot office park on 26 acres. The deal brings 2649 Strang Blvd., a 66,000-square-foot, Class A medical and office building, to full occupancy. GHP said the space will be used for administrative staff of both New York-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital and New York-Presbyterian Medical Group/Hudson Valley, a hospitalowned physician practice.

Jamie Schwartz, executive vice president of GHP, represented the building owner.

Martin Cohen, senior vice president of real estate for New York-Presbyterian, represented the 128-bed community hospital in Cortlandt Manor.

Schwartz said the long-term lease will be worth more than $3 million.

The broker said GHP has leased over 58,000 square feet of office, medical and

flex space in Yorktown Heights since acquiring the former Taconic Corporate Park in late 2014 from a special servicer for Bank of America after the previous owner defaulted on a $14.5 million mortgage.

Attorney Steven C. Hirsch, of Hirsch & Gibaldi LLP in Garden City, did the legal work for the landlord. Timothy P. Whelan, vice president and associate general counsel for real estate for New York-Presbyterian, was the hospital’s legal representative.

EMS BILLING FIRM MOVES TO CHAPPAQUA CROSSING DIGITECH COMPUTER INC., A NATIONAL billing firm for emergency medical services, has relocated its headquarters from Briarcliff Manor to a 15,000-square-foot office at Chappaqua Crossing, the mixed-use redevelopment being built on the former Reader’s Digest campus in New Castle.

The long-term lease deal was announced by brokers at Colliers International Group Inc., which represented the tenant. The company will occupy the second floor of building 600 in the commercial complex at 480 Bedford Rd. Ian Ceppos, senior managing director at the Colliers International office in Stamford, said the tenant was attracted to the live/ work/play community being developed at Chappaqua Crossing with a mix of retail and office space and housing, a wide array of amenities, and convenient access to the Chappaqua Metro-North train station.

Ceppos represented Digitech in the deal with Colliers associate Cameron Paktinat.

Kim Brennan, chief operating officer of Colliers’ tristate region, lauded Miller as “a luminary in the world of commercial real estate in the southern New England area” who “has closed large-scale transactions on behalf of some of the region’s most wellknown brands, while demonstrating expertise by grooming up-and-coming brokers through a range of training and professional development initiatives.”

After 86 years, here’s what I know for sure…

We all have something to teach.

The purpose of having years of wisdom is being able to impart it. Like the lesson of staying fit. Life, at times, can get tough. It takes good health to enjoy it. That’s what I tell my great-grandson when he comes to see me at The Bristal. We invent fitness games here in the gym. We go for long walks and talk. He chases my shots on the putting green. Maybe he’d rather play video games, I know, but something’s sinking in. You should see us doing tai chi.

Exceptional lives. Extraordinary living.

Six lawyers honored at 10th Above the Bar Awards

ix attorneys — five established in their field and one a recent graduate — were recognized as part of the 10th annual Above the Bar Awards on June 2 at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University in White Plains.

Keynote speaker Westchester County Surrogate Court Judge Brandon Sall opened the ceremony on a light note with a riff on the name of the event.

“I was delighted to be invited this evening,” Sall said. “Because in my lifetime, I’ve had the opportunity to sit at the bar, even sometimes been below the bar, but now I can say I’ve been above the bar, so thank you.”

Sall was appointed to the judicial post in May 2015 by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and then elected in November 2015.

The award winners were: • Dolores Gebhardt, a partner at McCarthy Fingar LLP in White Plains, won the Pace Setter Award. She noted in her speech that she had earlier been recognized by the New York State Bar Association, but this award meant even more to her.

“Because this is my stomping grounds and you are my peeps,” Gebhardt said. “So recognition from you, my peers, my colleagues and my friends means so much to me.”

• Barbara Finkelstein, CEO of the nonprofit Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, received the Most Socially Conscious Attorney

award. Finkelstein, who said she had worked in public service her whole career, stressed the importance of the profession.

“Lawyers have a special, special place in society,” she said. “They’re a catalyst for social change.”

• Neil Rimsky, co-chairperson of Cuddy & Feder’s Trusts, Estates & Elder Law Group, received the Leading Trusts and Estates Attorney award. In his thank you speech, he said, “The greatest honor is to give back to the community, to provide services and precious time to the community as a whole and in particular those less fortunate. It is our honor and our responsibility to make such contributions.”

• James L. Hyer, a partner at Bashian & Farber, LLP, was one of two attorneys to receive Leading Attorney Under 40 distinc-

tion. He emphasized the importance of attorneys taking time to meet and get to know each other, such as through the state and county bar associations.

“Civility in our profession is sometimes lacking,” Hyer said. “And I find when you meet people that are on the other side of the table, it’s harder to be nasty. In our profession you need to be civil.”

• Eon Nichols, a partner and vice chair of the Real Estate Group at Cuddy & Feder LLP, was also recognized as Leading Attorney Under 40. He said Cuddy & Feder hired him straight out of law school at 24 and, 13 years later, he tells people it’s his “only real job.”

“You helped me shaped me professionally, but also personally, and I really appreciate that,” Nichols said.

• Erica Danielsen, a May graduate of Pace Law, was recognized as Most Promising Pace Law Student. Danielsen passed the bar exam and has accepted a full-time position with the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County.

In her remarks, she described how nine years earlier, her son was born and she decided to “change my life and come to law school.”

“It was an extremely hard decision to make, I was extremely nervous,” she said. “But looking back now, after three years, I know it was the right decision.”

The Above the Bar Awards were founded by the Westchester County Business Journal and Citrin Cooperman.

The awards are judged by a panel of six lawyers in the Westchester area.

“We work with attorneys every day and it has been an honor to be a part of the Above the Bar awards to recognize those attorneys dedicated to the Westchester legal community,” said Alan G. Badey, managing partner of Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains office and co-leader of its law firm practice. “On behalf of Citrin Cooperman, congratulations once again to all of the winners and nominees of the tenth annual event.”

Additional event sponsors included The Westchester Bank, The Bristal Assisted Living, The Kensington, the Westchester Women’s Bar Association and the Westchester County Bar Association.

This is not your father’s workforce anymore

rom small local businesses to global Fortune 500 companies, employers are confronting an evolving workforce that looks very different from those of the past in three key ways: • Companies are integrating a greater mix of full-time, part-time and contract employees.

• The working population in the U.S. is growing younger. According to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, more than one in three American workers were millennials (adults ages 18 to 34 in 2015). And the same year, millennials surpassed Generation X to become the largest share of the American workforce.

• Finally, workforces will continue to become more culturally diverse as well.

In the past five years, more than half of newly arrived immigrant workers have been millennials, adding to an already growing mix, particularly in large metropolitan areas.

FACTORS SHAPING A NEW WORKFORCE PROFILE

Many factors are at play in shaping this new workforce profile, including unprecedented political and economic uncertainty around the world accompanied by stock price volatility and an unexpectedly sustained period of suppressed oil prices. In the U.S. in particular, there is, of course, the anxiety that precedes any presidential election cycle (this time perhaps on steroids), minimum wage increases and rising health care costs.

Companies are also faced with an increasingly aggressive competitive landscape, which requires leaders to continually create greater value at lower cost — for the benefit of both customers and investors.

Advances in technology and robotics are also replacing the need for large numbers of low-skilled employees in favor of smaller numbers of more highly trained and educated professionals.

INTRODUCING THE GIG ECONOMY

The Intuit 2020 Report shows that about 40 percent of Americans will be part of the gig economy by 2020. Although this shift means many are trading off the relative security of a single full-time income source, the freelance economy offers benefits to both employers (allowing them to lower overhead costs by hiring on-demand) and employees (enabling them to curb recession risks by providing access to “side-gigs” and flexibility).

Whatever the reasons, technology is of course the great enabler of the gig economy, allowing millions to access work anytime,

It doesn’t matter whether that experience is delivered by an Apple Genius or an Uber driver.

Companies should allow for and encourage more flexible pathways for associates to work together and produce results — outside

We have seen many companies redesign their workspaces to support more flexibility and the increasing entrepreneurial drive of its workers. Companies like ADP, PepsiCo and Novartis have invested in workspaces that are multipurpose, open, flexible and offer a variety of environments for both formal and informal meetings.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Selling valuable things for what they’re worth Our salesperson likes to discount things, especially add-on services, which are a really big profit margin for us. He’s even told some clients we would do it at cost. We need to fix this now because he’s starting to make headway in sales. Bigger accounts are coming in and we could end up losing a lot of profits.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: How much does your salesperson know about how your business makes a profit? Is your salesperson calling on the right class of customers?

Equip your salesperson with an effective information-gathering approach. Check that everyone is clear on what the goals are. Use reporting to evaluate and learn from results.

Make sure there’s a plan to get more referral business from the best customers.

Make sure your salesperson understands what it is you do and how that benefits your customers. Take salespeople on calls to meet your best customers and hear their stories.

Have them write up case studies of customers who are raving fans of your company.

If you’re concerned about add-on products or services, find customers who will talk about how they have used those add-ons to: • save time, money, effort; • make a greater profit for themselves;

• score a huge impact with their customers; or • otherwise significantly improve their business.

Make your salespeople believers in the value and importance of what your company provides. Then start talking with them about how to appropriately price that value.

Check that you and your salesperson have the right prospect list. Bottom-feeding prospects will have a harder time seeing the value over price-benefit of your add-ons. Go get more customers who place a high value on the help your business provides to them.

Don’t let your salespeople get beat up by customers who all the time ask for just one more discount. After awhile, if all the salesperson hears is that they have to cut prices, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Make sure that your prospect list includes buyers who are highly motivated and have the

wherewithal to afford what it is you’re charging for your services or product.

It’s OK for a customer to ask you why things cost so much. A salesperson needs to make inquiries of their own: “Have you ever made a similar type of purchase?”

“What’s ballpark for what you’re willing to pay?”

“What other options are you considering and how would you compare those to what we’re offering?”

“How do you plan to use this product or service? What happens if this solution doesn’t meet your needs? How would that make you feel?” (if they don’t say, “devastated” to the last question, watch out!)

Set goals for more than just revenue.

Make sure you and your salesperson are also clear about the number of accounts to be opened, amount of each product or service that is to be sold and the amount of gross profit to be earned. Be clear upfront as to what you expect.

Review results continuously. Recap profitability by customer, by product and by service. Sometimes salespeople will use high profits on one item to subsidize the sale

of another item. Evaluate if you should be mandating pricing, rather than giving your salesperson so much leeway. If you’re counting on a particular class of sales to deliver unusually high profits, make sure that’s how it’s getting sold.

Build a referral plan to help your salespeople get introduced to more potential “best” customers. Once satisfied, profitable customers will likely know others just like themselves and be happy to tell them about the experience if asked. It can to reference other customers’ satisfied experiences.

SPECIAL MEETINGS & REPORT CONVENTIONS

Doral Arrowwood sees uptick in conferences

BY ALEESIA FORNI

D

aforni@westfairinc.com

oral Arrowwood Hotel and Conference Center is bouncing back from a recent lull in its meetings and conventions business. Though the conference center, which is on 114 acres in Rye Brook and boasts 65,000 square feet of meeting space, took a hit during the financial crisis, business is starting to pick up.

Due to its proximity to Wall Street, large financial firms made up the majority of Doral Arrowwood’s events business prior to the market crash.

“We knew that it would come back eventually and a lot of it has,” said Jack Meehan, Doral Arrowwood’s director of sales and marketing. “We’re actually seeing a lot more financial companies now. Some of the big banks, some of the brokerage firms.”

But he’s quick to add that the business environment is “not like it was, though.”

“It’s definitely much different, but where they’re not coming, we’ve been able to replace it with other, different companies.”

To help accommodate that turnaround, the center launched its 110,000-square-foot Executive Center last fall. The space originally opened in 2000 as the Pfizer Learning Center. The pharmaceutical company signed a 15-year lease for exclusive use of the complex as a training center, which is directly attached to the rest of the Doral Arrowwood hotel complex.

“They still work with us, but the lease came to an end,” Meehan said of Pfizer. “Now everybody’s using it.”

Pharmaceutical companies continue to account for the bulk of demand for meetings in 2016, followed by financial firms.

Consumer products, consulting and education industries also make up a large portion of Doral Arrowwood’s client base.

“You fish where the fish are, so that’s what we did,” Meehan said.

But challenges in attracting new business still exist. Many companies have consolidated, leading to a decreased demand for meetings, and layoffs, especially those in the hedge fund industry, have also taken a toll.

“You get everything thrown at you now, so you’ve really got to adapt,” Meehan said.

Part of the adaptation included the addition of a sales team charged with attracting new clientele, along with “constantly renovating” the existing space.

“It’s still challenging, because there’s more competition than ever now, which really makes it more difficult,” he said.

With that increased competition, a large emphasis is placed on providing guests with a memorable experience, “because there’s beautiful hotels everywhere,” Meehan said.

Delivering that experience lies predominantly in food and beverages, something that has become an integral part of the sales process for convention centers.

“That’s becoming a big driving force in our industry now,” he said, adding that many clients request locally grown, healthy food options.

“Oils and butter are passé,” said James Gambardella, Doral Arrowwood’s director of food and beverage.

Finding ways to engage clients' employees through food has also become a trend within the industry, with chefs and culinary teams becoming increasingly vital to client retention. Doral Arrowwood hosts farm-to-

table food events and outdoor grilling and dining, along with securing partnerships with area restaurants and craft breweries.

“You want folks to say ‘Hey, I want to try that,” Meehan said.

In another change, clients commonly request to customize meeting spaces, ranging from more traditional setups, with chairs around a circular table or pinnable walls and whiteboards, to a room filled with plush couches or even an outside venue.

“For years it was very suit and tie, sitting in a board meeting,” Meehan said.

“Nowadays, it’s much different. People come up, (and) they’re a little more casual.”

“In the early days, especially when the financial companies were coming up, it was the CEOs, the managing directors. It was the presidents,” he said, though in recent years that demographic has shifted. The space hosts a variety of events from entry-level sales training to mid-level refreshers, “which is important, because if you just cater to a certain niche, you’re really not going to fill the place up.”

No matter what level of employee will be attending the event, Meehan said that “tech-

nology is probably the most important thing when a client calls to ask about a meeting.”

To enhance its technology services, Doral Arrowwood, which became part of Texas-based Benchmark Resorts & Hotels in September, will undergo $4 million in renovations that will include updated Wi-Fi and improved cellphone coverage. Benchmark also owns the Edith Macy Conference Center in Briarcliff Manor.

“Not only are we trying to make a good impression on them, the client is trying to make a good impression on their team so their team gets motivated and leaves with a good experience,” he said.

Companies are also increasingly incorporating team-building exercises into their meetings in order to engage their workforce, especially millennials. Creating connections through unique recreation events like scavenger hunts, escape-the-room challenges and cooking competitions are growing in popularity.

“That’s the main thing people want to feel when they’ve left the meeting,” Meehan said, “that they’ve really accomplished a lot of networking.”

Bring business cards: speed networking launches in region

ere’s how it works: relative strangers sit across from each other along a wide table. A bell rings and participants have three minutes to describe who they are and what they do to the person seated across from them. When the bell rings again, it’s the other person’s turn to talk. One more ring, and they move down the table to start over with new partners.

This may sound like a scene from a speed dating event, but it’s not. It’s speed networking.

Launched last month as a collaboration with the New Canaan-based Ladies Launch Club and The Luxury Marketing Council of Connecticut-Hudson Valley, the quarterly events are intended as a way for members of the two organizations to meet to create strategic partnerships with each other and other groups and individuals that will be invited to join.

Kathy McShane, CEO of the Ladies Launch Club, said that while digital networking is good, it’s still necessary to get out and meet people face to face whenever possible.

“So here they can get to meet a lot of

people in a short period of time and then they can take a business card and say ‘OK, I’m going to follow up with you,’” McShane said. “So it’s a really cool way to meet a lot of people very quickly.”

McShane’s club is focused on helping women 45 and older start their own businesses. The Luxury Marketing Council of Connecticut-Hudson Valley is a chapter of an invitation-only networking organization for senior sales and marketing executives.

“There’s a very good synergy with Kathy’s group,” said Kathryn Minckler, founder and chairman of The Luxury Marketing Council

chapter. “Because in this area there are many people on second, third or fourth careers, so most of our members are founders and CEOs of their own companies.”

The first event was held May 25 at Lillian August in Norwalk. McShane said about 50 people attended. Tickets were free for members of the organizations involved, while nonmembers paid $35.

Minckler said that while she and McShane at first had to provide suggestions for topics to talk about, the noise level in the room went up as the night went on. “People really got into it.”

Minckler added that the rapid pace of the event meant that people had to be direct and concise in describing what they can do and what type of working partnerships they are looking for.

“Sometimes with networking events you tend to stay in your comfort zone with your own groups,” she said. “This forces you to go out and perfect your elevator speech and literally walk away with 10 new business cards.”

The next speed networking event is planned for Sept. 27 at Lillian August. The two organizers expect to grow the events, though not significantly.

Minckler said the advice she gives to people before networking is to think beyond developing clients. “Some people go into these things with the viewpoint of ‘I want to get my next client. I think it is probably more important to think in terms of collaborations and partnerships,” she said.

That’s a view that McShane said fits with her own beliefs about business.

“I don’t believe that there is any competition. I believe people can strategically align and help each other out,” McShane said.

“Find those strategic alliances and you have double the power.”

Family business marks 60 years transporting executives

n 1956, Rudolph “Rudy” Spezzano purchased a Cadillac and began to build the foundation of what is today Rudy’s Executive Transportation, a fourth-generation family business based in Stamford and Greenwich.

The key to six decades of success has been a commitment to dependability and a level of service matching the expectations of the company’s executive-level clientele, according to Rudy’s 71-year-old son Roy, the company’s chairman and CEO. “Our motto is, ‘On time means everything,’” he said. “Customers who have been with us for 30 years tell me in all that time you have never been late. Word of mouth is the best advertisement there is. They know we hire the best people, have the best cars and are going to get quality service. We kept our word for all these years, that’s how we did it.”

Roy Spezzano joined the company in 1964 as a chauffeur and has grown the com-

pany with his wife, Sheila, executive vice president at Rudy’s. From a single Cadillac in the mid-1950s, the company has grown to a fleet of more than 100 luxury vehicles and a staff of more than 200 drivers and 50 office personnel.

The company provides on-demand chauffeur service for residents and executives, often to regional airports but also to more distant destinations such as Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.

Corporate clientele are also attracted to the amount of insurance the company carries, said Spezzano. Connecticut and New York require transportation companies like Rudy’s to carry at least $1 million or $5 million of insurance, respectively.

Sheila Spezzano said the company carries an insurance policy of $15 million because “what’s a million dollars when you have two executives in your car.”

Rudy’s took a hit during the 2008 recession with business dropping between 25 to 35 percent, but has since rebounded and has exceeded pre-2008 levels, Spezzano said. He said the company was able to weather the

recession without laying off employees.

The company recently purchased a competitor in Westchester County, Dominick’s Limousine and DLS Worldwide Transportation of Peekskill.

As the company has grown, so too has the Spezzano clan’s presence in the business.

The founders’ grandchildren and children of Roy and Sheila Spezzano, Dan Spezzano

and Dona Carlin, joined the company in 1983. Rudy’s great-grandson, Rob Marino, recently made the company a fourth- generation business.

“Four generations later, the company remains committed to keeping our founder’s old-world standards alive and will continue to do so for as long as we are in business,” Roy Spezzano said.

From left: Chair of the Board of Trustees Gwen Adolph, Robin Roberts, Elizabeth Bell LeVaca, Judith Huntington

Mark Lavinski, owner of the Salisbury Millsbased landscape company You Rest I Mow Inc., has volunteered to mow and maintain a new nature trail leading to the Wallkill River at the Orange County Land Trust’s Hamptonburgh Preserve in Campbell Hall.

The scenic, winding trail is the first of its kind at the preserve, which has already

drawn a number of new visitors. At Hamptonburgh Preserve, his goal was to help the land trust in encouraging residents to visit the property and explore nature.

Hamptonburgh Preserve is at the intersection of Routes 207 and 416 in Campbell Hall. For GPS or online directions, use 3 State Highway 416, Campbell Hall, NY 10916.

The College of New Rochelle marked its 109th commencement May 24, with a national anthem sung by Dominique Smith along with words of inspiration by commencement speaker Robin Roberts.

During the ceremony, the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters was conferred upon Elizabeth Bell LeVaca, retiring chair of the college’s board of trustees and a member of the board since 2001. Roberts, anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” also received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. College President Judith Huntington praised Roberts’ courageous decision to share her

authorization of 3 million additional shares of common stock from the current issued amount of 2 million shares. President and CEO Michael Gilfeather said, “The overwhelming support of our shareholders for this measure reflects management’s position that having additional shares authorized now is simply good planning for the future.

We have no current plans to issue the additional shares for any particular purpose.”

Jenifer Ross has joined Ginsburg Development Cos. as director of community experience for the company’s new brand of luxury rental apartments, which debuts with the opening of Harbor Square in Ossining, across from the Metro-North Railroad station.

Ross is known in Westchester circles for her ongoing community efforts, including the Tarrytown Third Friday event now in its 13th year, and as the founder and owner of W@tercooler, Westchester’s first co-working space that was in Tarrytown. Ross has been living in the Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow area for the last 18 years.

COHEN NAMED ASSOCIATE

DURANTE RENTALS OWNERS WIN SBA AWARD

OC BANCORP DIRECTORS ELECTED The shareholders of Orange County Bancorp Inc. held their annual meeting May 24 in Middletown at the headquarters of the company’s subsidiary bank, Orange County Trust Co. Elected to serve three-year terms were longtime directors and fellow shareholders William Morrison, Virginia Rizzo and David DeWilde.

In addition to the election of directors, the company’s shareholders approved the

personal battles with cancer and MDS, which inspired thousands of potential bone marrow donors to register.

Addressing the graduates, Roberts advised them to “never forget the feeling you have right now.” She went on to offer advice gleaned from her own experiences as a student athlete and aspiring sports journalist.

“Proximity is power,” she stated. “You can wish, hope and pray all you want, but you have to put yourself in a position for good things to happen to you. And you have done that. …Dream big and focus small. Identify the problem but focus on the solution.”
