Rye Brook housing plan moves forward

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

SOLAR SEA PAGE 2

T

he Rye Brook board of trustees recently approved a zoning change and agreed that a full environmental impact study would not be needed for a proposed residential development on vacant land in the Reckson Executive Park.

With the village board’s unanimous vote on July 28, the proposal by Buckingham Partners/ Sun Homes to build market-rate and affordable housing units on the approximately 80-acre property moves to the conceptual plan review stage.

The developers’ proposal calls for 110 single-family homes to be built on a 3.5-acre site on the office park property owned by Reckson, a division of SL Green Realty Corp. Ten homes would qualify as affordable housing.

Market-rate homes would range from 2,400-square-foot, threebedroom homes; medium-sized homes comparable to a Sun Homes development in Darien, Conn.; and the 3,300-square-foot homes with basements.

Sun Homes partner Bill McGuinness said the affordable units will have the same exterior specifications as the market-rate homes. Each will include a private patio in the back.

“We would like to have the nicest affordable homes in the country,” he said. “We’re pleased we’re able to do this.

“We designed the homes as single-family houses so we could marry them as softly as possible to make for a nice streetscape,” he added. “We want this to have a single-family feel to it.”

Regeneron markets new drug, launches cancer treatment venture

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

R

egeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Westchester and the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi SA in a fiveday span in late July received approval of a cholesterol-reducing drug for limited use in the U.S. and announced they will jointly invest more than $2 billion in a collaboration to discover and bring new antibody cancer drugs to market.

Extending their 6-year-old global collaboration into an emerging field of cancer treatment, immuno-oncology, the two companies will jointly develop a programmed cell death

protein 1, or PD-1, inhibitor and plan to begin clinical trials next year with new drug candidates.

Sanofi will make an upfront payment of $640 million to Regeneron, which has grown to be New York’s largest biotechnology company from its headquarters on the Landmark at Eastview campus in Greenburgh and Mount Pleasant. The companies agreed to invest $1 billion for discovery through earlystage studies of immune-oncology antibody candidates used alone or in novel combinations, with Sanofi putting up $750 million and Regeneron contributing $250 million.

The companies also committed to funding in equal shares an additional $650 mil-

lion for development of the PD-1 inhibitor now in Regeneron’s drug pipeline.

The collaborators also agreed to reallocate $75 million for immune-oncology antibodies from Sanofi’s current annual contribution of $160 million to Regeneron. In addition, Paris-based Sanofi, which works closely with Regeneron scientists from its U.S. headquarters in Bridgewater, N.J., will make a $375 million milestone payment if a PD-1 product and any other collaboration antibodies used in combination with a PD-1 product exceed $2 billion in aggregate sales in any consecutive 12-month period.

Diamond Properties shines with addition of massive solar array

A

$3.4 million project involving the installation of 7,602 solar panels across 10 acres of rooftop space has made Diamond Properties the leader in adopting solar energy in Westchester County.

Mount Kisco Mayor J. Michael Cindrich has been involved with the project at 333 N. Bedford Road, the site of the former Grand Union warehouse, from the inception. A recent ribbon-cutting marked the installation as the largest in the county.

“As far as solar energy, it’s really more than just environmental,” Cindrich said. “You have to have a vision for the future because the initial investment doesn’t pay off quick, but what Diamond Properties is doing is investing in the future.”

The solar panel installation is expected to produce an annual utility savings of $275,000 and pay for itself in eight years.

At 1.9 megawatts, it stands as the largest commercial rooftop solar system in Westchester County, according to Safari Energy LLC, the Manhattan-based solar provider responsible for Diamond’s new installation.

The panels power more than 70 percent of the property’s six tenants’ electricity needs and are part of a larger “aggressive” effort by Diamond Properties to lower costs utilizing green energy solutions while reducing its carbon footprint.

“This is a win-win situation for everyone,” said Nat Mundy, vice president and co-founder of Grand Prix New York, one of Diamond’s tenants at 333 N. Bedford Road. “We’re obviously happy to cut down our electricity costs, but this is also about being good corporate citizens. If more businesses looked at solar power, it would help reduce pollution and decrease dependence on oil.”

Ninety percent of Grand Prix’s power is provided through the new solar system, and fellow tenant Saw Mill Club East receives 85 percent of its power through solar.

Carlos Floresguerra, vice president of project development for Safari Energy, said Diamond Properties is among the early adopters of many cost-saving energy efficiency and renewable technology programs.

“Anywhere solar makes sense he is looking at it,” Floresguerra said of Jim Diamond, managing member of Diamond Properties.

“These initiatives not only benefit the company’s tenants and local community, but make a powerful statement in support of sustainability and help propel New York upwards in the national solar rankings.”

In 2014, New York was ranked seventh

in the nation for most installed solar capacity, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

Diamond Properties owns more than 3.7 million square feet of property including office, warehouse, retail, residential and land in five states.

The Mount Kisco property is the fourth solar installation the company has completed with Safari, with other projects in Elmsford, White Plains and Hawthorne.

Three more Diamond solar installations are under construction in West Nyack, Watertown and Danbury, Conn.

Including completed and in-progress projects, Diamond has installed solar panels on 37 of its properties in New York and Connecticut for a total output of 7 megawatts — enough to power more than 1,050 homes in New York, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.

“It used to be ‘Why should we do solar?’”

Floresguerra said. “Now the question is ‘Why aren’t we doing solar?”

While more businesses are starting to look to their unused roof space as untapped savings, there is still great potential for solar across the county, where energy pricing is particularly steep, Floresguerra said.

The Diamond solar project was originally estimated at $5 million, but after rebates from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the cost dropped to approximately $3.4 million, Diamond said.

The solar installation was also made possible through additional tax benefits, including a 30 percent federal tax credit, Diamond said.

The growth of the solar energy is due in part to incentive programs such as the NYSERDA-administered NY-Sun program, a

$1 billion initiative by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to move the state closer to having a sustainable, self-sufficient solar industry.

“Through the NY-Sun program, we have seen tremendous growth in solar power in New York,” said John B. Rhodes, president and CEO of NYSERDA. Since the program’s launch in 2012, a total of 316 megawatts of solar electric was installed or is under contract, more than what was installed in the entire prior decade.

Approximately 116,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions will be avoided with the installation of the NY-Sun projects, which is the equivalent of removing 23,000 cars from the road, according to the program’s website.

The expansion of the NY-Sun program in 2014 is expected to result in 3 gigawatts, or 3,000 megawatts, of installed capacity by 2023. This scale-up is projected to make the solar industry self-sufficient in New York state, no longer requiring government subsidies as the cost of solar becomes comparable to the cost of electricity from the grid, according to NY-Sun.

CBRE releases Q2 leasing stats

C

ommercial real estate services company CBRE Group Inc. released statistics recently on second-quarter office leasing activity in the region, reporting a growth of midsize tenants in Fairfield County while leasing slowed, and a major corporate tenant accounting for more than half of the activity in Westchester County.

CBRE reported 68,408 square feet of negative absorption in Westchester in the quarter, which, combined with first-quarter negative net absorption, equates to a 654,461-square-foot negative net absorption for the first half of 2015. The company did, however, cite an increase in small office leases in Westchester — 60 percent of total leasing transactions were for spaces under 10,000 square feet. A rise in

overall leasing activity in Westchester, to 594,502 square feet from 269,225 square feet in the first quarter, was attributed to the PepsiCo bottling division’s move from Somers to White Plains.

Asking rent rates dropped by 11 cents per square foot and have remained relatively steady over the past six quarters.

Fairfield County saw 721,141 square feet of commercial office space leased in the second quarter, down from 887,414 square feet in the first quarter. This included a 30 percent increase in midsize tenants (10,000 to 50,000 square feet) and a positive net absorption of 145,159 square feet.

The average asking rent was slightly down, from $35.63 per square foot to $35.19 in the second quarter.

“What we saw for the second quarter

of 2015 was the impact of small and midsized tenants, as well as how a single, large transaction can skew results,” said Robert Caruso, CBRE senior managing director of Westchester/Fairfield County operations. “Fairfield County was influenced by those midsized tenants, and Westchester County by many small-sized tenants and, of course, PepsiCo’s transaction in White Plains. We believe there is reason to be optimistic about the second half of 2015 in both counties.”

In Westchester, PepsiCo’s lease of 361,181 feet of space at 1111-1129 Westchester Ave. in White Plains dwarfed other top second-quarter office deals in the county.

The Compass Group leased 25,927 square feet at 2 International Drive in Rye Brook.

CBRE reported the next largest deal of the

quarter was Mitsubishi Imaging’s lease for 22,627 square feet at 555 Theodore Fremd Ave. in Rye. CBRE said that financial, accounting and information services tenants accounted for most of the top transactions in Westchester.

Top Fairfield office deals included UBS’ lease of 119,216 square feet of space at 600 Washington Blvd. in Stamford, Catterton Partners’ lease of 32,291 square feet at 10 Glenville Road in Greenwich and a Stamford lease of 28,364 square feet by Robinson & Cole LLP at 1055 Washington Blvd.

PepsiCo pledges to combat climate change

P

epsiCo Inc. stands with 12 other American companies that have joined the White House in a push to address climate change.

In announcing the American Business Act on Climate Pledge recently, the White House said it anticipates a total investment of $140 billion from the 13 businesses that will pursue low-carbon initiatives and create about 1,600 megawatts of renewable energy, among other goals.

The pledge, taken by Apple, Bank of America, Google, General Motors and others, is meant to show how private companies can reduce emissions and implement more sustainable business practices.

Purchase-based PepsiCo committed to six specific goals: expanding the use of sustainable farming practices by 500,000 acres before 2017; eliminating the company’s use of greenhouse gas refrigerant hydrof luorocarbon by 2020; using more alternative fuel vehicles in its fleet; achieving zero deforestation in supply chain operations by 2020; learning more about solar installations at its facilities; and increasing the use of recycled content in packaging.

In 2014, the 13 companies represented more than $1.3 trillion in revenue and a combined market capitalization of at least $2.5 trillion, according to the White House.

Major overhaul planned for LaGuardia Airport

Citrin Cooperman Corner Measuring Up: Assessing Your Company’s Talent

B

uilt in 1937, LaGuardia Airport, once referred to as a “third-world country”

by Vice President Joe Biden, is getting a multibillion-dollar makeover.

The project, announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently with Biden in tow, will reconfigure the Queens airport from four disparate terminals to one unified terminal with expanded transportation access, increased taxiway space and passenger amenities.

The governor called the airport, as it is, “un-New York.”

“LaGuardia is slow, it’s dated, it is a terrible front-door entranceway way to New York,” he said. “It is almost universally decried as a poor representation of an airport, let alone a New York airport.”

The new airport is to be completed in two phases, with construction on a $4 billion segment of the new unified terminal expected to start early next year, following final approval by the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The first half of the unified terminal structure is expected to begin serving pas-

T

sengers as early as 2019 and be completed in the following 18 months.

It will be built by LaGuardia Gateway Partners, which was selected by the Port Authority in May. LaGuardia Gateway Partners is a consortium of firms including Vanatge Airport Group, Skanska and Walsh Construction, HOK and Parsons Brinckerhoff, and Meridiam.

The second half of the unified terminal will be developed by Delta Air Lines, which owns two of LaGuardia’s four terminals. Delta anticipates beginning the redevelopment of its terminals on a parallel track with the first phase of the project, according to Cuomo’s office.

The project is expected to create 8,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs.

In addition to plans for luxury amenities, the new airport is slated to include improvements for public and private transportation with a new AirTrain option that directly connects LaGuardia to the New York City subway and Long Island Rail Road as well as ferry access and tram service.

United Hospital site plan enters public review process

he site of the former United Hospital in Port Chester is one step closer to becoming a long-awaited $300 million mixed-use development.

Port Chester’s board of trustees recently voted to accept the draft environmental impact statement for the project, pushing it into the public review phase. Residents will be able to ask questions and comment on the project at a hearing to be scheduled in the coming weeks.

Plans for the site at 406 Boston Post Road — purchased by Starwood Capital Group in 2006 — include 90,000 square feet of street-level shops and restaurants, a 135-room hotel, 217,000 square feet of office space, 500 residential units for young professionals and 230 age-restricted

senior residential units. It will have on-site parking and nearly an acre of open space.

The site is across from the Port Chester Shopping Center near interstates 287 and 95.

Starwood Capital estimated the development would create more than 1,800 construction jobs and nearly 1,000 permanent jobs. After declaring for bankruptcy, United Hospital closed in 2005, and Starwood Capital purchased the site the following year for $28 million. The board of trustees voted in March 2013 to adopt zoning changes that would make a mixed-use development on the 15.4-acre site possible. Starwood Capital first presented a draft environmental impact statement to Port Chester officials in spring 2014.

RENATA HOWARD

A company’s employees are one of its most important assets that can provide for future success and profitability. The workforce is also a significant expense that needs to be continually assessed so that the goals of the company can be achieved and aligned with the goals of its employees.

There are two distinct yet intertwined pieces to assessing talent: - A company has to assess the talent it needs for a successful business plan - A company has to assess the talents of its employees The first point is identifying the employee skill sets that are needed (at all levels) by the company to provide that success. The second is evaluating employee talent and developing the traits that are necessary to help build a winning team for the business. These needs will differ based on the types of business (personal service vs. retail vs. manufacturing) and at different levels; but the approach will generally be similar.

Everyone in a company needs to be working in the same direction. With that said, the company has to establish goals for itself. The goals can be short term, such as expanding into new markets within the next couple of years or developing certain expertise within a professional arena. As important, are longterm succession planning and other goals, such as making sure that the company develops the next generation of leaders so that they are ready to take the helm when the time comes. These company goals will become the basis for identifying the talent criteria needed by the company’s employees at all levels.

Start by hiring the right people who best match the needed talent criteria. Does this person have the skills and technical knowledge needed for the job? Does this person have the potential to develop into a future leader? The assessment of talent begins here. The right fit provides a great start to assembling a dynamic team. Then the individual’s goals criteria should be clearly identified and understood by the employee and the company.

Once the goals are in place, assessment commences. This includes: observation, evaluation, communication, and followthrough – both informally and formally. In order for the assessment process to be successful the formal processes have to be in place, such as setting performance expectations, creating measurable goals, evaluating performance, and having performance review meetings.

Formal processes create accountability and

The informal assessment is continuous and can be woven into working with the employee. Informal observation and feedback puts an employee at ease and provides the evaluator the ability to connect with the employee on a less intimidating level. As new generations continue to enter the workforce, the way they view and receive feedback varies. The traditional approach to the review process will have to be revised for Generation Y (the “millennials”) and the emerging Generation Z. Companies need to recognize this when developing their assessment processes. The millennials want to receive constant, clear, and specific feedback on how they are doing. They expect immediate results and have a desire for fast advancement based on talent (not tenure).

These expectations need to be recognized by the company and the assessment process, and as a result, should be properly tailored to reflect this shift in culture.

A challenge of the talent assessment process is the ability to successfully identify employees based on their current performance versus their potential. High performance is very easily observable and it can overshadow the qualities and behaviors that characterize future potential in an individual. Mistaking high performers for high potential candidates can be costly, as not all high performers are high potentials who will be part of the business’ future growth.

Organizations often end up focusing on performance; however, as they assess their talent, they need to identify both of these attributes. Both performance and potential are interdependent, and the key is assessing the employee in both aspects and developing a plan for the employee’s growth that will provide short-term and long-term results for the business.

Talent assessment is a continuous and evolving process. The criteria for assessment is malleable; it should be modified as the company’s goals change or when the employee’s role will change, either as part of a development process or as new and desirable talents have been identified. It takes time to assess the company’s talent needs and the talent of the company’s employees. The longterm rewards, however, are worth the effort.

If those are approved, Buckingham Partners/Sun Homes will present a site plan and subdivision application to the village.

Buckingham Partners/Sun Homes first submitted its proposal in February.

The parcel was to be site of a proposed 140,000-square-foot ice skating complex proposed by Reckson, part of a growing trend among Westchester office park landlords of seeking new uses for their underutilized properties in the economic downturn. Facing community opposition,

Reckson withdrew its proposal in October 2013.

Previous approval for office space development on the property is set to expire at the end of the year, and the new residential proposal would replace those plans.

Much of the recent public hearing centered on residents’ concerns about traffic and increased enrollment in the Blind Brook school district.

One Doral Greens Drive resident compared Anderson Hill Road, the street running perpendicular to the Reckson property, to the “middle of Manhattan” during rush hour. Another resident had concerns about accessibility for emergency responders with the anticipated increase in traffic.

Marilyn Timpone-Mohamed, a planner at Frederick P. Clark Associates, the Rye consulting firm that did a traffic study for

the developer, said at the meeting her firm found the opposite. “Our conclusion is that the amount of traffic would not be significantly increased,” Mohamed said.

Former Rye Brook Mayor Joan L. Feinstein at the public hearing cited the town of Harrison’s decision to rezone the Platinum Mile section of Westchester Avenue for residential units. She also cited a recent report that described a decrease in companies willing to occupy corporate park space away from public transportation.

“Reckson is entitled to develop its property,” she said.

William S. Null, an attorney for White Plains-based Cuddy & Feder LLP representing Sun Homes on the project, said that after discussions with and recommendations from the Rye Brook planning board, several modifications were made to the

proposal.

“We relocated the clubhouse amenity building from one side of the road to another and changed the layout and arrangement of a number of homes under considerable guidance from the planning board,” Null said. “If the board were to approve the change in text and mapping and the conceptual plan, we would be back before you in two months or less with the application ready to go before the planning board.”

The Reckson Executive Park adjoins Doral Arrowwood and the campus of SUNY Purchase.

Based in Pawling, Sun Homes in 2012 opened Kensett Darien, a $100 million luxury community of 74 townhomes in Darien.

The company is also developing the $150 million, 195-condominum Palmer Hill property in Stamford.

Yancopoulos, Regeneron’s chief scientific officer and president of Regeneron Laboratories, in the announcement. But he cautioned that the field “is still in its very early days.”

“We believe the approaches most likely to deliver the best results to patients will combine multiple innovative therapies acting on different pathways both in the tumor and the body’s immune response

— and will precisely target these medicines to the right patients,” Yancopoulos said.

The companies’ announcement of their new venture shortly followed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval last month of Praluent Injection, a cholesterol-reducing drug developed and marketed by Regeneron and Sanofi, as the first in a new class of drugs known as PCSK9 inhibitors.

The companies in a joint press release said Praluent is used as an adjunct to diet and standard cholesterol-reducing drugs called statins to additionally lower lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia — an inherited form of high LDL cholesterol — or clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, in which a build-up of plaque in the arteries can lead to reduced blood flow and heart attack, stroke and other diseases. Available in 75-milligram and 150-milligram doses, Praluent is self-administered by patients every two weeks.

Its potential users in the U.S. include 8 million to 10 million patients with the inherited form of ‘bad’ cholesterol, according to Regeneron.

Many patients do not achieve their physicians’ recommended lower levels of high LDL, or bad, cholesterol despite dietary and lifestyle changes and use of standard cholesterol-reducing drugs, Praluent’s developers said.

The FDA approval was based on results in human subjects of the two companies’ phase-three international Odyssey clinical trial program for Praluent. At the same time the federal agency issued its approval last month, the European Medicine Agency’s

Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recommended that Praluent be approved for use in certain adult patients with hypercholesterolemia. The European Commission in late September is expected to make a final decision on marketing Praluent in the European Union.

Dr. Leonard S. Schleifer, Regeneron president and CEO, said Praluent “represents the culmination of more than a decade of tireless work to translate the genetic-based discovery of PCSK9 into an innovative medicine that brings meaningful value to patients.”

Regeneron and Sanofi set the newly marketed drug’s wholesale list price in the U.S. at $40 per day for both 75-milligram and 150-milligram doses. The companies said the wholesale acquisition cost makes Praluent the lowest-priced patient-administered monoclonal antibody therapy on an annualized basis. Patients, insurers and health systems are expected to pay lower prices after discounts and rebates.

Regeneron and Sanofi said they will launch a comprehensive program of support, training and follow-up that includes assistance to uninsured or underinsured patients and free medicine for those eligible. For more information, call 1-844-PRALUENT. Despite the FDA’s approval of Praluent, shares of Regeneron stock dropped 2.7 percent, to $541.85, at the close of trading on July 24 when the FDA’s action was announced. Regeneron’s stock price rebounded to $552.45 at the close of trading on July 28, when the cancer treatment collaboration was announced, up 2.3 percent from the close of trading on the previous day.

Retail brokerage shops for suburban landlord clients

Pamela Strauss

David Firestein

H

aving moved into the metro New York market in recent years by acquiring a Westchester-based real estate company serving retail tenants, The Shopping Center Group is mounting a charge to expand its landlord representation business in Westchester and Fairfield

counties led by a veteran commercial real estate broker.

Pamela Strauss, a Westchester native, earlier this year joined The Shopping Center Group, a retail brokerage based in Atlanta with 23 offices nationwide, as a senior adviser leading the company’s drive to represent landlords in the lower Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut as their exclusive leasing agent. Strauss has experience working with both landlord and tenant clients as the owner and president of Retail Strategies LLC in White Plains, a company she founded in 2004 after spending two years as a commercial broker at Murray Hill Properties in Manhattan.

At The Shopping Center Group’s office at 711 Westchester Ave. in White Plains, Strauss works with a team that includes David Firestein, the former owner and

president of Northwest Atlantic Real Estate Services LLC in White Plains, which merged with The Shopping Center Group about 3 1/2 years ago.

Firestein now is a managing partner in the Atlanta company’s New York offices.

He is best known in real estate circles as the broker who first brought Starbucks to New York City in 1994 and has since brokered “several hundred” lease deals for Starbucks, he said, as the Seattle coffee company’s exclusive agent in the metro New York area. Firestein and former partners at Northwest Atlantic have further bolstered The Shopping Center Group’s tenant business with clients that include REI, Papyrus, Whole Foods, Staples, Bobby’s Burger Palace and Guitar Center.

Firestein said the company has stepped up efforts to represent owners of large

shopping center properties in this area, where, unlike many other areas of the country, retail has both shopping center and downtown Main Street components.

“We know most of the landlords in this (Westchester) market, the Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut,” he said.

Jeff Pandolfo, director of leasing for The Shopping Center Group’s Northeast region, said the company also aims to grow its property management business.

“That’s part of our goal for expansion in Westchester, to not only lease but manage properties,” he said.

he owner of the 120-acre Chappaqua Crossing campus filed a petition last week with the New Castle Town Board seeking to build more than 30 affordable housing units in the former Reader’s Digest headquarters.

Summit Greenfield Partners, the owner of the property off the Saw Mill River Parkway, wants the town to amend the Office District zoning regulations to allow for residential use of the upper two floors of the four-story building that opened in 1939.

Summit Greenfield was approved in 2011 to add 111 residential units, including 20 affordable apartments, to the campus that primarily houses office and medical space.

An adjusted plan now includes 91 feesimple townhomes listed at market rate on the campus in addition to 32 affordable units in the Reader’s Digest building. The affordable units will be a mix of studio and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

“The affordable rental housing will comply with the guidelines set forth in the settlement agreement between Westchester County and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,” according to a press release from Geoff Thompson, a spokesman for Summit Greenfield Partners.

t. John Fisher College, an independent, liberal arts institution in Rochester, NY, has offered a doctoral program in Westchester County residents’ backyards at The College of New Rochelle (CNR) since 2009, and the program continues to grow.

The Doctor of Education in Executive Leadership (Ed.D.) is an accelerated doctoral program offered by Fisher’s Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education, and provides candidates with an opportunity to develop the critical leadership skills and knowledge that are required in today’s increasingly complex, diverse, and information-driven organizations. This unique program was developed to provide an attractive and viable alternative to traditional doctoral programs in educational leadership. To date, the program has enrolled 20 cohorts and graduated 231 students.

CNR was the first extension site for the program, followed by Onondaga Community College in Syracuse in 2013.

The program is designed for managers and executives in education, business, health care, nonprofit organizations, the military, and other related organizations.

The accelerated format allows students to complete their coursework and dissertation in as little as 28 months. Classes meet on alternate Friday evenings and Saturdays to accommodate the schedules of working professionals.

The cohort-paced model is designed around a multidisciplinary program of study in executive leadership. Courses are offered sequentially, organized by topical themes, and aligned with New York state, national, and institutional standards. In addition, the program includes professional development opportunities and seminars conducted by experts in the field of leadership. Candidates will also complete field experiences that align with the coursework.

The curriculum is based on theory and processes that are essential for effective organizational leadership, and theory related to practice. Graduates will walk away with the ability to plan strategically, make ethical and fair decisions, maximize the talents and skills of their employees, and much more.

The sequence of courses and field experiences are organized into six interrelated thematic modules. Each module includes topics, activities, and assignments that reflect key concepts that impact leadership at the executive level. Some of the concepts covered include law, politics, finance, governance, diversity, human relations and development, data and informed decision-making, policy, and ethics.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

How to fend off new competitors

The ball is rolling with a big, new competitor. There’s no stopping them — they’re getting everything they want.

We’re already seeing a downward impact on our revenue and on customer price sensitivity. We’ve checked with our peers and they’re seeing the same things. This could be a game changer for our industry and we don’t have the resources to play in this competitors’ league. How do we deal with it?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: How do you defend and how do you grow are the same and yet different questions. Before going to war, do an inventory of what’s in your war chest.

Sometimes it’s better to go around than it is to fight head on. Always be aware of market trends and customer options. Make sure your choices will lead to profits and future

opportunities. Consider joining forces to strengthen your hand.

Always keep your eye on the future.

What will your company be known for in five to 10 years? What will be the profile of your company’s best customers? What products or services will you offer? Will that be enough to ensure the company continues to grow revenue and profit? Will your customers still be around in the future, or are they legacies that must be replaced to ensure future growth? Can you continue to attract the employee talent you need to stay competitive?

Profile your company’s assets. How much money is set aside in reserve? What about strength of customer relationships?

How many customers are true believers in your company and likely to support you through a fight or a transition? What is your company really good at? How many other products or services do you have? How many of your employees are willing to help see the company through a transition?

Look at how your company differentiates itself, historically and in the future.

Why do your current best customers buy from you and not from the competition?

What role do customer testimonials play in

reinforcing the strengths of your offer versus the competition? Make and implement a plan to get the word out over the Internet.

Make it all about your customers: what they want, what they need and how you can supply those needs better.

Document how much your company needs to change in the next five to 10 years, and get moving. Consider acquisitions to help you get started in a new market or offering. Look for something that your competitor doesn’t offer that you can.

Make your company look unique because of how you talk about the company. Is your competitor innovative? Be constant and reliable. Is your competitor’s price below yours? Offer exclusivity and add-on services at a bundled price. Is your competitor negotiating with top customers? Figure out if you can afford to compete and select the best customers; fight for those, and build a new set of customers by focusing on a group that your competitor is ignoring.

Make it someone’s job to do market analysis, keep it going and report on findings at least annually. If you don’t have the talent in your company to do that, hire someone on the outside to do it. Challenge your staff to think about who else they should be doing

business with. Compare the options available to your market, and look for holes, or unserved needs, that your company can step into.

Look for options to join forces with your peers. Co-launching a new product or service might give you the resources needed to make a splash in a new market. Look to industry groups for assistance with research, dealing with legal issues and options for defending or expanding against major competitive threats. Whatever you do, don’t sit and wait. Get moving, get active, take on the challenge to make the future for your company as good as or better than its past.

Wage raise for fast-food workers riles business groups

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

L

ess than three months after Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the state Department of Labor to investigate pay levels for fast-food workers, a state wage board unanimously voted to increase the minimum wage for those workers to $15 per hour. The decision has riled business groups, some of which are considering legal action.

The wage board outlined a plan in which New York City fast-food employees would reach the new minimum wage in 2018 and the rest of the state would follow in 2021.

Starting Dec. 31, the state rate would increase to $9.75 per hour and incrementally grow annually until reaching $15 on July 1, 2021. In New York City, the minimum wage for fast-food workers would be $10.50 per hour on Dec. 31 and increase every year until reaching $15 on Dec. 31, 2018.

Assemblyman Thomas Abinanti, D-Greenburgh, has requested that the wage board consider extending the New York City timeline to Westchester County.

Abinanti’s office in a press release cited a cost-of-living index from tech company FindTheBest that said Westchester is the fifth most expensive area to live in the country.

He compared that with New York City, which ranked eighth.

“By some standards, Westchester’s cost of living is higher than New York City’s and far higher than the rest of the state and the rest of the country. Westchester workers who put in an honest day’s work should be paid enough to keep their families out of poverty,” he said in the press release.

Crain’s New York reported the week of the wage board vote that a coalition of unidentified businesses hired lawyer Randy Mastro, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and former deputy mayor to Rudy Giuliani, to fight the wage recommendation.

Crain’s wrote that Mastro plans to challenge the governor’s decision to use a wage board and bypass the state Legislature.

To no avail, efforts were made by Cuomo and the Democratic-led Assembly during the 2015 legislative session to increase the minimum wage. On May 6, Cuomo announced his decision to call on the acting commissioner of the Labor Department, Mario J. Musolino, to appoint members for a wage board.

The board’s three members — who are meant to represent labor, business and government — were directed to investigate wages in the fast-food industry and hold public hearings.

Another recommendation made by the board July 22 was to define fast-food establishment as “part of chains that have 30 or more locations nationally,” according to the Labor Department.

Responses from the state business community began surfacing before the announcement of the vote was made. The groups argued that fast-food franchises are being treated unfairly compared with competitors in the service industry.

Mike Durant, New York director of the National Federation of Independent Business, said that “small employers heavily rely on an entry-level workforce and today’s decision will ultimately stifle the hiring ability for small business outside the fast-food industry.”

Durant and other critics of the wage hike have said fast-food restaurants should be considered small businesses in some circumstances because they are owned by franchisees, rather than the chains’ CEOs. “Today’s New York wage board decision to discriminate against the quick-service food industry will cost jobs and potentially cause small businesses to close,” Steve Caldeira, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association, said in a statement.

Musolino has 45 days from the filing of the board’s report about the recommendations, expected to happen last week after press time, to accept, reject or modify the fast-food definition or pay increase. The public will have 15 days to comment on the document.

Count on our continuing commitment to the attorneys of Westchester, as we deliver the highest caliber of personal service and banking expertise.

Expect extraordinary.

SPECIAL REPORT BANKING

As regional Hispanic population grows, banks meet community needs

BY DANIELLE BRODY AND COLLEEN WILSON dbrody@westfairinc.com, cwilson@westfairinc.com

A

s the number of Hispanic residents continues to expand in Westchester and Fairfield counties, the financial needs for these communities have widened.

As a result, both regional and national banks have stepped up their efforts to be a go-to resource for new and longtime residents alike.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey showed that from 2010 to 2013, the Hispanic population grew 10.74 percent in Westchester County and 11.5 percent in Fairfield County.

The Business Journal spoke to representatives from Wells Fargo & Co. and TD Bank of Westchester, as well as Brewster-based Tompkins Mahopac Bank and Middletownbased Greater Hudson Bank, and Stamfordbased First County Bank — all of which said they have hired more bilingual employees and expanded community outreach to serve the growing Hispanic population.

Galdino Velasco, owner of Tacos Guadalajara, said this was not the case when he emigrated from Mexico to Stamford nearly 60 years ago. Now, he said, he notices that nearly all the banks in Stamford have Spanish-speaking employees. He uses First County Bank and Wells Fargo and recommends them to other people.

“The bankers are adapting very well,” he said. “They have bilingual personnel — that’s what matters.”

Jorge Perez, commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Banking, said the Hispanic community is diverse; first- or second-generation Spanish-speakers have different needs than an immigrant who is unfamiliar with the banking system.

The community of more-sophisticated business professionals often requires more services, many that are not exclusive to the Hispanic community, said Fannie Aleman, vice president of Greater Hudson Bank and president of the Westchester Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

“They need more resources; they need financing; they need more employees; and they don’t know how to take their business to the next level,” she said.

Brenda Stuart-Luke, the senior stake-

holder liaison in New York for the Internal Revenue Service who has been with the agency for 36 years, said some of the biggest outreach initiatives the IRS has pursued over the years in some immigrant communities are record-keeping and registering for an individual taxpayer identification number.

An ITIN is a number in lieu of a Social Security number created by the IRS primarily for immigrants to file taxes.

Stuart-Luke said these two items have been important for years because when individuals apply for citizenship, they have to produce these documents.

“When they go to apply, they have to show five years of (tax) filing and if they have not used the right (ID) number,” she said, “they create a problem for themselves and other people.”

But Milan Bhatt, executive director of Mamaroneck-based Hispanic Resource Center, said that individuals who use ITINs and other alternative forms of identification can run into problems.

“It’s been a real issue and a real challenge especially for immigrants who don’t have status or can’t establish photo identification,” Bhatt said. “We’d like to see a lot of banks move in that direction to be able to accept other forms of ID.” Aleida M. Frederico, the senior relationship manager in commercial lending of TD Bank, said they try to work with individuals who can provide valid documentation, such as W-8 forms, which are filled out by non-U.S. residents who make an income in this country, ITINs, and secondary forms of identification, such as green cards, driver’s licenses or employee cards.

Navigating tax filings, how to open bank accounts and good business practices have become important topics for banks to communicate to their bilingual customers.

“You have a newer population that might not feel as comfortable and that’s where some of us play a role in education,” she said, adding that focusing on financial education is the “key to helping everyone reach their goals.”

Kevin Friedlander, Wells Fargo’s northeast spokesman, said the fastest-growing businesses in the country have diverse owners. Wells Fargo makes them aware of the lending options available, he said. For cus-

tomers who are newer to banking, the bank offers bilingual education with workshops about buying a home, money management and wealth-building and an online course called Hands-On Banking, he said.

Both TD Bank and Wells Fargo have Spanish versions of their websites and Spanish customer service representatives.

Wells Fargo’s mobile application has a Spanish language option.

Reyno Giallongo, chairman and CEO of First County Bank, said that in the past few years the bank has translated company brochures into Spanish. Bilingual speakers work in the branches as tellers, in the trust and commercial lending departments and in the call center. The employees try to be sensitive not only to the language but also to the cultural differences in the community.

“We strive to make sure that the customers are comfortable and they understand the transaction — it could be as simple as cashing a check over the counter or as complex as a loan transaction,” Giallongo said.

The bank offers financial education in the school system and has had more requests to deliver it in Spanish at schools and at nonprofits, Giallongo said.

John Kraus, senior vice president and senior commercial loan officer at Tompkins Mahopac Bank, said the bank works with local organizations that minority groups have access to, such as Community Capital, a nonprofit alternative community lender serving the Hudson Valley and Fairfield County. The bank has started to do more outreach with nonprofits.

“We do recognize the Hispanic community as a key contributor to our society and local economy,” Kraus said. “It’s not just great community relations, but great business practice.”

And in just the last few months, StuartLuke, the IRS’ field outreach liaison, has also begun visiting the Greater New York region, starting in May when she visited Port Chester for a workshop.

Stuart-Luke said that in addition to the seminars the agency is looking to bring north of New York City, the IRS has begun offering webinars about finance information in English, Spanish and Mandarin.

“I’m trying really hard to push that there is an influx of people in these communities and why they need information,” she said.

AUGUST SPOTLIGHT ORGANIZATION: THE CHAPPAQUA CHILDREN’S BOOK FESTIVAL (CCBF) CHAPPAQUA CHILDREN’S BOOK FESTIVAL SUPPORTS LITERACY IN WESTCHESTER AND BEYOND The Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival (CCBF) is a grassroots, all-volunteer nonprofit, with community members working together to promote literacy. CCBF hosts events and programs throughout the year to benefit the Pajama Program, which provides new pajamas and books to children in need nationwide and JCY-Westchester Community Partners, which develops intergenerational programs to meet the literacy needs of children in Westchester communities such as Yonkers, Mount Vernon and Elmsford. CCBF also sends local volunteers to JCY’s Summer Reading Program at Yonkers Riverfront Library.

Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival Executive Director Dawn Greenberg said, “We support and promote literacy so we can spread the love of reading in Chappaqua and beyond.

Through our outreach efforts supporting different organizations and our book festival, our mission is to inspire young people to become lifelong readers.”

Events throughout the year include local tea parties and

children’s book art auctions, a Gaga Fest and Family Fun Day at Kiwi Country Day Camp and children’s book and pajama drives. Crabtree’s Kittle House hosted a “Sparkle for Cause” cocktail event to support CCBF and its charity partners earlier this summer, and Hall of Scoops sweets shop in Chappaqua creates a new “literary flavor” each year, with proceeds from each scoop sold benefiting CCBF and its charity partners.

Last year, the flavors included Pinkalicious (created with the permission of and guidance from Pinkalicious author Victoria Kann) and Rocky Read. This year’s flavor, available starting in

September, will be Purple Pig Tales, based on Jean Van Leeuwen’s Oliver and Amanda Pig series.

The CCBF’s flagship event of the year is the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival, a free event held every autumn, which brings together more than 90 popular authors and illustrators, covering multiple genres and reading levels. Authors sign their books and read excerpts and visitors also participate in fun kid-friendly activities and entertainment. Food is available for purchase from some of Westchester’s favorite restaurants and food trucks. Delicious baked treats and raffle prizes are available from CCBF partner, The Great Chappaqua Bake Sale, a community bake sale started six years ago by three local families to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry mission to end childhood hunger. Having raised nearly $80,000 since its inception, GCBS is Share Our Strength’s top fundraising bake sale team in the country. All proceeds fund meals programs in NY State.

This year’s Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival will take place Saturday, Oct. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Robert Bell Middle School in downtown Chappaqua.

WHY GIVE? “The Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival provides opportunities for families to celebrate worthy heroes, the authors and illustrators that bring to life their favorite books and enables them to interact with authors in a personal and potentially life-changing way. We’ve been lucky to have financial support from many Westchester County businesses, including Kiwi Country Day Camp, Houlihan Lawrence, Chappaqua Learning Center, Westchester Family magazine, News 12 and Regeneron Pharmaceutical. These businesses recognize inspiring passion for reading, writing and imagination in children’s lives has lifelong benefits.”

At Nonprofit Westchester (NPW), preparations are well underway for #GivingTuesday Dec. 1, a global day dedicated to giving back. We are pleased to announce our partnership with The Journal News and lohud.com to lead this effort in Westchester County for the second year in a row, which will feature stories and insights into many of the outstanding, committed nonprofits that make our communities so great.

But it isn’t just for nonprofits. Businesses have an important role to play in #GivingTuesday. Here are a few ways your company can get involved: • Use social media to promote your company’s #GivingTuesday activities and/or encourage your customers to give time or money to a nonprofit. (NPW can provide sample text.)

• Organize an employee day of service in your community. (Volunteer New York! can help.)

• Donate a percentage of your sales or the proceeds of a particular item to a local nonprofit.

• Encourage employees to donate to their favorite charity on #GivingTuesday and match their gift.

• Make a commitment. If you’ve got a bold plan in the works, announce it on #GivingTuesday.

This list is just a start — we have many more ideas. It doesn’t have to be complicated or require intensive effort. The power in giving is the collection of good deeds on this one day.

Our mission is to strengthen the capacity, impact and visibility of the nonprofit sector in Westchester County for -Joanna Straub a more just and caring community. To find out more or to Executive Director, become a member, visit www.npwestchester.org.

articulating a corporate purpose that takes total contribution to society into account — in other words, embedding social purpose within the organization.

• Collaboration — Collaborating with government and not-for-profits to drive growth that benefits citizens.

There is much evidence to support the idea that focusing on values, social responsibility and collaboration can help build sustainable growth in business. Last October, Financial Times magazine reported that U.S. and U.K. companies in the Fortune Global 500 spend approximately $15.2 billion annually on corporate social responsibility activities. In a 2012 report, Knowledge@Wharton found that in 2002 only about a dozen Fortune 500 companies issued a corporate social responsibility or sustainability report. In 2012, a majority did. The report stated: “Quite simply, companies care about (corporate social responsibility) because their customers do,” and cited a survey by Landor Associates, the branding company, which found that 77 percent of consumers said it is important for companies to be socially responsible.

A recent article in the Harvard Business Review reported that some companies, such as Mars, have recognized that social problems were adversely impacting their profitability and supply chains. Others chose to address a significant social problem. In creating a model to solve the social problem, they created profitable business units.

It is no coincidence that there is an expanding pool of investment dollars being targeted to achieve a social benefit as well as potential traditional return on investment. Over the past couple of years, wealth management clients have become increasingly interested in companies that focus on social responsibility and sustainable investing. Socially responsible investing, or SRI, is the practice of investing in companies that take various environmental, social and governance factors into account in their business models in order to create long-term positive change.

This investment opportunity allows clients to diversify their portfolios, work toward financial goals, and at the same time, effect positive change.

A recent study conducted by the Ameriprise Investment Research Group showed that currently more than $7 trillion is invested in socially responsible or sustainable securities, accounting for roughly one-fifth of the money under man-

agement in the U.S. alone. There is reason to believe this could continue to increase over time, as the next generation starts to control the majority of the wealth in the U.S. According to the same study, it is estimated that 84 percent of millennial investors are interested in socially responsible investment options.

As the interest in SRI continues to grow, it appears more and more companies are recognizing the competitive advantages of making social responsibility part of their company mission. It seems to makes good business sense on many levels. First, it attracts customers and employees who are interested in working with businesses that are not only profit-driven but also socially responsible or even mission-driven. Second, socially responsible practices can improve the bottom line. For example, reducing carbon footprint in your manufacturing processes can decrease pollution and has the potential to reduce your exposure to environmental lawsuits and expensive site cleanups. Third, other corporate policies and practices, such as increasing diversity on your governing board, can bring in different and valuable input resulting in greater innovation, market leadership and profitability.

The interest in environmental, social and governance factors is not unique to the for-profit world. Some not-for-profits are beginning to look at the new socially responsible business models and legal structures as ways to increase revenue generation, financial support or address regulatory challenges without jeopardizing the organization’s not-for-profit status.

For businesses and nonprofits alike, social responsibility is becoming less of a trend and more of a mainstream way of thinking. As people become increasingly aware of the positive effects environmental, social and governance factors may have on the world, as well as their investments, those who do not follow suit should expect to be left behind. If you have not, it is time to get with the movement.

An IRA beneficiary trust can strengthen an estate plan

Local. Trustworthy.

Lending Experts.

A

s the proportion of workers with pensions continues to decline, more Americans are turning to individual retirement accounts and other qualified retirement assets as their primary source of retirement income.

There are many benefits to saving with an IRA. The most notable advantage is that assets in an IRA grow income-tax-free over an owner’s lifetime. Only when the money is distributed is it subject to income tax, often at a point in the owner’s life when she is retired and is in a lower income tax bracket. IRAs and other qualified retirement assets also enjoy creditor protection.

If the owner is sued or files for bankruptcy, assets in an IRA are protected.

If the owner dies with assets still remaining in her IRA, she can leave the IRA to a beneficiary. Depending on whether the beneficiary is a surviving spouse, a child or a trust, different distribution periods, applicable taxes and protections apply.

When an IRA is inherited by an individual, the beneficiary is not allowed to make additional contributions. A lifetime payout schedule is devised based on the beneficiary’s life expectancy and distributions begin immediately — they cannot be delayed until the beneficiary reaches retirement age, like they can be for distributions from a personal IRA. If he chooses, the beneficiary can liquidate the entire account immediately without incurring the typical pre-retirement age penalty. Any distributions of an inherited IRA are taxed based upon the individual beneficiary’s current tax bracket.

A 2014 Supreme Court case, Clark v.

Rameker, held that an “inherited IRA” is not a protected retirement fund under federal law. This means that the valuable creditor protection available to an IRA’s owner would not apply to his heir if inherited directly as an individual beneficiary.

However, an IRA beneficiary trust can maintain some of these benefits and protect the inherited IRA. A properly drafted IRA beneficiary trust, which would be the beneficiary of any qualified retirement accounts, restores creditor protection and maintains the lifetime payout schedule based on the oldest beneficiary of the trust’s life expectancy. The following benefits and family situations describe the importance of using this type of trust.

Michael J. Greenberg

1. Provide creditor protection: An inheritance through an IRA beneficiary trust would not be subject to future claims.

This would be attractive if the trust’s beneficiaries include a spendthrift likely to go into bankruptcy or someone in a high-risk occupation, such as a surgeon, who could be sued.

2. Protect assets from children’s spouses: An inherited IRA held in an IRA beneficiary trust would stay out the hands of a child’s spouse or soon to be ex-spouse.

3. Qualify for or maintain special needs benefits: A disabled beneficiary could use the trust’s distributions without jeopardizing potential government benefits. The distribution of the IRA trust could provide spending money for a special needs relative already receiving or applying for Medicaid or other government assistance.

The rules for naming a trust as an IRA beneficiary are very restrictive. An experienced estate planning attorney can help families create an IRA beneficiary trust that complies with federal and state requirements. With an IRA protection trust in place, clients can have peace of mind that their retirement assets will pass on to their loved ones in a way that provides them with creditor protection without sacrificing any potential tax or government benefits.

AUTISM AGENCY VISITS CONGRESS The Anderson Center for Autism in Staatsburg became dedicated to autism programs in 2006. The Anderson Family Partners (AFP) is a parent-driven advocacy group bringing many years of experience to the challenges in navigating the educational system, raising awareness around the disorder and identifying appropriate outlets for additional programming and funding.

Earlier this summer, Anderson parent Tondra Lynford spearheaded an advocacy trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with eight members of Congress.

As advocacy chairperson of AFP, Lynford said, “We wanted to thank those who were involved in

supporting autism causes as well as create awareness around the fact that current legislation supports research and early intervention for children on the spectrum. There is nothing on the federal level that supports adults who are transitioning into adulthood.”

Plans are in the works to host a local legislators’ breakfast on Anderson’s campus in October of this year.

For information on the upcoming legislators’ breakfast or Anderson Center for Autism’s life long learning model, visit AndersonCenterForAutism.org.

ASTORINO AND PARTNERS ASSIST COUNTY’S DIAPER BANK County Executive Robert P. Astorino and the Junior League of Central Westchester joined recently with State Farm Insurance agents to package diapers for the Westchester County Diaper Bank at the JLCW headquarters in Scarsdale.

State Farm agents recently conducted a drive that collected more than 4,400 diapers and 2,700 packs of wipes.

“Since we opened the Diaper Bank in November, we’ve

distributed an average of 15,800 diapers each month to families in need,” Astorino said. “That’s all thanks to the generosity of our community and corporate partners.”

Intended to help get families through tough times, the Diaper Bank serves families through the Department of Social Services. The goal is to expand to serve nonprofit agencies as well.

FORMER NY RANGERS HIGHLIGHT EXECUTIVE PARK EVENT GHP Office Realty LLC received a big assist from former New York Rangers Ron Duguay and Ron Greschner for its broker party unveiling the completed $6 million renovation of the buildings at 2649 and 2651 Strang Blvd. The 26-acre campus in Yorktown Heights is known as the Northern Westchester Executive Park.

FIVE ELECTED TO PHELPS BOARD guests and autographed items.

VASSAR NAMES LIBRARIES DIRECTOR Following a national search Andrew Ashton has been named the director of the libraries at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie to provide leadership and strategically important partnership in the academic enterprise.

Ashton will oversee all library operations, including approximately 40 professional and paraprofessional staff members and more than 150,000 square feet of space.

The libraries at Vassar consist of the Thompson Memorial Library, Lockwood and Ingram libraries, Archives and Special Collections, Van Ingen Art Library, George Sherman Dickinson Music Library and the Digital Library. Together they house more than 1 million print volumes and each year welcome upward of 300,000 in-person visitors and loan roughly 20,000 items to other institutions.

Most recently Ashton was associate university librarian for digital technologies and co-head of the Center for Digital Scholarship at Brown University. Prior to that he served as systems librarian at Skidmore College and music librarian for Radio Free Asia in Washington, D.C. He earned his undergraduate degree in music at Cornell University and master’s degrees in American history and library science at the State University of New York at Albany.

“I am honored and excited to join the Vassar community and I see enormous opportunities in aligning Vassar’s libraries with the dynamic and multidisciplinary curriculum,” Ashton said. “I look forward to working with students and faculty to build partnerships that both reaffirm and expand the libraries’ critical role in the college’s academic mission.”

LAW FIRM BRIGHTENS SUMMER FOR CAMPERS Brian Mittman, managing partner of Markhoff & Mittman PC in White Plains closed his office July 23 from noon to 2:30 p.m. to bring the entire staff to volunteer at the Carnival Day of Lifting Up Westchester’s Summer Camp for homeless and at-risk children. A summer highlight for the 90 campers who range in age from 5-13 years, the carnival took place at the Ridgeway Elementary School in White Plains. The law firm employees assisted by painting faces, running game booths, handing out prizes and serving refreshments.

“We began our partnership with Lifting Up Westchester by organizing a communitywide food drive called ‘Hope for the Holidays’ this past December. Afterwards,

we served a meal at Grace’s Kitchen where we felt an immediate connection with the agency’s soup kitchen’s guests, many of whom live in our neighborhoods. We wanted to do more. Lifting Up Westchester’s Development Director, Chris Schwartz, told us about Brighter Futures, the agency’s summer day camp for homeless children and their need for 25 volunteers to manage their carnival. Before she finished her sentence, I said, yes,” said Mittman.

For 36 years, Lifting Up Westchester (formerly known as Grace Church Community Center) has provided a fourweek summer day camp program for homeless and disadvantaged children from all over Westchester County.

MAKING IT YOUNG

A lawyer with an adventurous side

BY DANIELLE RENDA drenda@westfairinc.com

E

nrolling in law school shows a certain drive. Amplify that by backpacking solo down Spain’s Camino de Santiago and cycling across the state of Nebraska and you have Leigh Ellis, a 2015 cum laude graduate of Pace Law School, whose drive is not limited to her vocation.

Ellis’ accomplishments were acknowledged at the Westchester County Business Journal’s annual Above the Bar event in June at Pace Law School in White Plains.

During her time at Pace, she was active in the National Lawyers Guild and the Women’s Association of Law Students and helped found the Alternative Break Club, in addition to partaking in a number of internships.

But what the audience didn’t hear about was Ellis’ 250-mile hike of the Camino de Santiago — alone.

“I knew after starting law school that I would need to plan a trip to motivate myself to get through the year,” said Ellis. “When I wasn’t studying or working, I spent my time researching routes and backpacking gear. As you can imagine, planning for the trip provided a much-needed break from case law and coursework. In May, almost immediately after finals, I flew to Madrid, took several buses to southern France and began my hike.”

The idea to hike alone wasn’t planned.

Unable to find a willing partner but determined to accomplish her vision, Ellis tackled the feat, meeting fellow hikers throughout her journey.

“My Spanish is limited, so I depended on body language to convey what I couldn’t express in words,” she said. “An example of this is the time I spent four days walking with a man who spoke no English. In an attempt to overcome our language barrier, we developed a very complicated system of charades. … I mean, have you ever tried to express asparagus using charades?”

Ellis also ran into a woman who was retracing her father’s journey on the Camino. As Ellis recalled, the woman’s father had recently passed and his daughter was using the Camino as a means to recon-

nect with him, spreading his ashes along the way.

“I had wanted to complete the whole hike, but it wasn’t possible because I needed to get back to New York City to start my summer internship and ‘busy hiking the Camino’ didn’t feel like an acceptable excuse,” she said.

Ellis also cycled across her home state of Nebraska as part of an annual, weeklong bike trip of approximately 500 participants.

“This adventure was the brainchild of my aunt, who had completed the trip a year before,” she said. “In contrast, my mother was the driver of our family’s minivan, which we affectionately referred to as the

‘meat wagon.’ We called it the meat wagon because my mom was ready and willing to pick up any cyclist who was feeling too tired or hot to complete the day’s ride. I am proud to say that I never utilized the services of the meat wagon, although I considered it because Nebraska is not as flat as you would think.”

Beyond her passion for adventure, Ellis remains focused on law.

“Today, I see that law is a means for effecting social change. This wasn’t always the case. … While in college, I assumed that social change was made possible by working outside of systems of power, which led to my participation in various grassroots

organizations and community groups. …

Today, I see my participation in the legal system as an opportunity to assist my clients in a way that I wasn’t able to prior to law school.”

Ellis is now a public benefits staff attorney at White Plains-based Legal Services of the Hudson Valley. Her job includes matters involving public benefits, from clients denied food stamps and unemployment insurance benefits to attaining emergency assistance for a person in need.

“We, as lawyers, have an obligation to serve our community and we cannot serve if our legal system is built to only assist and protect the privileged,” she said.
