The changes are small and gradual, but changes nonetheless. But when an entire local economy experiences a significant uptick in growth, such good fortune often comes with its own unique set of challenges – and on a much larger scale. The good news is that Blount County and its communities have indeed been in the midst of an economic boom these last few years. Geographic location, quality of life, favorable economic climate and adequate infrastructure have been responsible for an economic expansion that has drawn industry to our area like bees to honey. The result has been a sweet deal for local businesses and their stakeholders. “Blount County has been in a real growth mode for a while, especially the last five years,” says Blount Partnership President and CEO Bryan Daniels. “More than 18 companies have located or expanded here, which has generated 4,000 net new jobs and resulted in more than $1.5 billion in capital investment. And it’s increasing exponentially.” Daniels also cites Tennessee governor Bill Haslam, who pointed out in 2015 that Blount County’s growth had only been exceeded statewide by the Nashville area and that the resulting expansion spanned all sectors of the job market, from metal fabrication and auto manufacturing to aerospace and computer data. With growth has come a fresh set of challenges not just for the Blount Partnership but also for county and municipal governments, the education community and even the real estate industry. The bottom line: Is Blount County capable of handling all this growth? For starters, all parties involved have recognized the issues at hand and have already begun taking steps to make sure local businesses, governments and schools are well positioned to ride the current wave of prosperity. “Over the last two years, we’ve been putting together a workforce-development plan for how our community is going to address these issues from a job-training standpoint,” Daniels says. “We’ve seen that, regardless of career path, simply graduating from high school is not a qualification for most of these new jobs, and with our initiatives, we’ve been bringing together school superintendents and administrative staffs at universities to talk about the pipeline needed to fill those posi- tions.” Part of the Partnership’s workforce-development plan is focused on getting feedback from economic-development and recruiting organizations around the country and learning what types of soft skills and specific career skills are needed in today’s workplace. Another step has been to communicate those workforce needs to local high schools and colleges with career and technical education programs so that their curricula can be adapted to better train students for a workplace where the number of skilled jobs is increasing. One of the biggest challenges has been cultivating enough interest on the supply side of the equation to meet the growing demand for those positions, particularly in manufacturing, says Rachel Trump Buchanan, Blount Partnership’s director of economic development. “We’ve discovered that a lot of students coming up have attached a stigma to manufacturing,” she says. “But with all the technical innovations, manufacturing has changed. A lot of it is automated now, which requires more technical skills. It’s not just labor.” As such, the Partnership has been engaged in a public relations effort to show that two-year degrees and technical schools are a viable option and that the resulting jobs can often www.BlountPartnership.com 7 pay as much, if not more, than many white-collar careers. “There will always be a need for four-year degrees, but that’s not necessarily for everyone,” Buchanan adds. “Manufacturing is not a stepping stone; it’s a true, wonderful career path for many.” Meanwhile, city governments have been working to make sure their municipalities are capable of providing sufficient infrastructure to not only to attract new businesses to the area but also to adequately serve the ones that have already chosen to put down roots in Blount County. “Growth generally outpaces the infrastructure; that’s the way it is in most cities,” says Maryville city manager Greg McClain. “It’s rare for a city to build a road or a school before the need exists. Our job is to try to anticipate how quickly to grow so that we keep up as best we can.” McClain mentions that Maryville’s utility departments have done a good job at keeping pace with recent growth and that the city has partnered with Alcoa to form a team responsible for coordinating traffic flow through both cities. This will be achieved in part with the help of a proposed fiber-optics network that will link the two cities’ traffic signals, which will enable accurate modeling and traffic counts. “Maryville also has millions of dollars’ worth of road projects focused on improving intersections and increasing traffic flow,” McClain adds, noting the widening of Sevierville Road and the possible extension of Foothills Mall Drive as specific examples. “It’s a cycle. To grow more 8 Basically Blount 2016 jobs, you need more people, which means you need more infrastructure. To get more infrastructure, you need more tax dollars, which means you need more businesses that will create those jobs. It’s not always easy to manage, but we have a lot of bright people here in Maryville who are doing their best to keep up with that cycle.” Roadwork is also part of the equation for the city of Alcoa, where projects like the reconfiguring of the Hunt Road/Alcoa Highway interchange and the proposed eastward re-routing of Alcoa Highway will have a positive impact on businesses like Advanced Munitions International and Cirrus Aircraft. Advanced Munitions will be building its new facility on the 230-acre Partnership Park North site in Louisville, and, according to Alcoa city manager Mark Johnson, considerable road improvements will be needed to service that site. “Those improvements are difficult to engineer and more difficult to build and fund,” Johnson explains, pointing out, however, that funding from the Tennessee Department of Transportation will go a long way toward getting the Hunt Road interchange project under way. “We’re gearing up to do some partial interchange work, which will help Cirrus Aircraft as they come online as well as development of the Alcoa Tennessee West Plant site.” Another component involved in accommodating growth involves the local real estate market. Specifically, are there enough commercial properties available in Blount County to serve the needs of new businesses and is there a large enough inventory of residential properties to house workers relocating to the area to fill new jobs? On the plus side, there currently is an adequate supply of commercial space on the market, according to David Talley, president of LeConte Realty, LLC. “Because of pent-up demand, there’s been a lot of commercial activity, and there are still opportunities for those needing retail, office and warehouse space,” he explains. “But we’ll see the existing spaces fill up before we see more new construction.” On the residential side, the market is significantly tighter, particularly for homes in the $250,000 range. Because of a shortage of buildable lots in cities like Maryville, lot prices are often high, which results in developers having to build higher-priced new homes to make the project financially feasible. “Inventory is low, so more people who would otherwise buy are renting from some of the newer apartment properties,” Talley adds, citing some residual impact from last decade’s housing crisis and the fact that turnover of existing inventory is down by about a third. “That applies more in the cities, but it’s just a matter of time before county property becomes the same way.” As a result, Talley predicts a stronger future for the rental market until the supply of residential properties catches up with the demand. And, while the baby keeps growing, all the demands that come with that growth don’t have to be met overnight. With all “parents” on the same page, answering the new needs of growth can be accomplished in a progressive and sensible climate.

It will also be the central location for all Cirrus Aircraft pilot, owner and customer activities, including sales, delivery, maintenance, support, personalization, fixed-base operations and more. In contrast to the training conducted at most professional pilot centers, Simmons says the Cirrus Vision Center will focus on the customer experience, so jet owners won’t have to deal with late hours or crammed classrooms. Research and development as well as manufacturing for Cirrus Aircraft will remain in Duluth, and all aircraft will continue to be produced at the Cirrus manufacturing facilities in Duluth and in Grand Forks, North Dakota. “We thought the Blount County area was the right place for our employees to relocate from Duluth,” says Simmons. “It has amenities like mountains, www.BlountPartnership.com 9 abundant lakes and opportunities for outdoor activities as well as proximity to universities and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. That makes it like a sister community to Duluth, and we saw it as being a good fit for our employees.” Although Cirrus Aircraft will be relocating some of its current employees from Minnesota, Simmons adds that the company will also be hiring from the local labor pool and that he expects those specific jobs to be defined and announced by the middle of 2016. After making it through a site-evaluation process that started with some 30 airport locations in 15 states, McGhee Tyson Airport was chosen by Cirrus based not just on its convenient location but also on its unique attributes. “It has two big runways and fantastic approaches, but it’s not so busy – like Atlanta or Denver or Chicago – that it 10 Basically Blount 2016 can’t handle conducting training exercises,” notes Simmons. “There’s also the availability of real estate for us to expand as well as commercial airline service and accessibility to the Hilton hotel. It’s a close but well-planned airport and very customer-friendly in terms of our buyers being able to arrive commercially, get their training and then fly their new jet out.” The initial phase of the project will include the main Vision Center building as well as a hangar for aircraft storage and service. Ultimately, the campus is expected to accommodate additional structures and ultimately represent a $20 million investment. Simmons points out that although it will be located on airport property, the Vision Center will be accessible and open to the general public. “We welcome that,” he adds. “It’s being built so that people can get there by airplane, airline or car. We want to make it accessible to more people and help grow participation in aviation.” According to Simmons, the majority of Cirrus aircraft are used for personal aviation, with approximately 15 to 20 percent being used for commercial applications like charter services, flight schools or government travel. Since its founding in 1984, Cirrus Aircraft has been committed to the future of aviation through ease of operation and continuous innovation. To date, its line of all-composite SR20s and SR22s has lived up to company goals by incorporating advanced performance, electronic and safety technologies, including the Cirrus Perspective navigation system by Garmin and the unique Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, which gently lowers the entire aircraft to the ground in the event of a mid-air emergency. Once open, a tour of the facility is sure to be high on many of the county’s aviation-lovers lists. On Target “ ADVANCED MUNITIONS INTERNATIONAL FINDS GOOD FIT IN BLOUNT By Mitch Moore For an Arizona-based company to relocate its global headquarters and build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility more than halfway across the country, that company has to see something special in the new location. The wooing process has to offer more than lipservice. What Advanced Munitions International leaders discovered when they first set out to identify a market that would better accommodate the company’s rapid growth was Blount County. The fact that Blount County quickly opened its arms wide made a positive first impression on AMI executives. “The responsiveness we got from Blount County was not only immediate but genuine,” says CEO Mark Kresser. “The amount of work and prep put into those initial invitations was extremely thorough, and they gave us several different options within the county.” Considered a global leader in high-end ammunition manufacturing, AMI is planning to invest $553 million in a brand-new facility that will house its corporate offices, R&D operations, manufacturing and distribution. Its presence in Blount County will create more than 600 jobs. The new campus will occupy the entire 235 acres of Partnership Park in Alcoa, which is jointly owned by the cities of Alcoa and Maryville as well as Blount County. Ground breaking on the site will take place in spring 2016, with the goal of opening by the fourth quarter of 2018. Founded in 2010 by military www.BlountPartnership.com 11 veteran Jim Antich, Advanced Munitions International produces a wide range of centerfire ammunitions for military, police and civilian use. The company is known in the firearms industry for its HPR brand, a specially formulated ammunition that utilizes proprietary technology. “When we looked nationally for a site to build this facility, Tennessee stood out as a place with leaders that understand and support strong business growth,” says Antich, who also serves as AMI’s executive chairman. “We are looking forward to a long relationship with Tennessee and to working with our new neighbors.” After giving their home state of Arizona first right of refusal and later identifying Tennessee as fertile soil for a firearmsrelated industry, the company’s leadership shifted its focus eastward. “We needed to enlarge our Arizona facility, but we were really locked in by our property,” says Kresser. “After doing our research and due diligence, it didn’t make sense to keep our operations in a small town that didn’t offer us the necessary infrastructure.” When the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development presented AMI with 10 site proposals from 10 communities within the state, AMI leaders thought Blount County stood out. A number of key factors, including its highway system, local school systems, airport and proximity to the Oak Ridge tech sector pushed the county to the top of the list, said officials. “Having the Oak Ridge Nation12 Basically Blount 2016 al Laboratory nearby is a huge benefit and having that local knowledge base to draw from is substantial to what we do,” says Kresser, who had served as president of the company in its previous incarnation, Advanced Tactical Armament Concepts. “We may be a munitions factory, but a lot of what we do really is rocket science.” Indeed, the Alcoa plant will hire chemists and engineers with backgrounds in metallurgy, physics and energetics technology. As such, the demand for educated and trained workers will be high, especially in light of the fact that AMI plans to transfer very little of its workforce from its current Payson, Arizona, facility, which will stay in operation. “All the equipment we’re putting in is one-of-a-kind, customized and state-of-theart,” Kresser explains. “All that equipment has to be designed, developed and monitored by some great technical people.” In addition to scientific and technical positions, AMI will be looking to fill a variety of jobs, ranging from facilities maintenance to administration to sales and marketing. Kresser notes that the company will attempt to fill as many positions as it can by first drawing from the local talent pool. While AMI’s arrival in Blount County is expected to be financially beneficial for the community and for the locals who step into those newly created jobs, Kresser points out another area of added value the company brings – its support of veterans. “We feel very strongly about our armed forces and our veterans. It’s very clear that they are a critical component of our success going forward as a company and as pillars of the community,” he explains. “Vets are some of our best employees in Arizona, and they will continue to be so in Tennessee. This is a veteran-owned company, and it shows.” Blount County mayor Ed Mitchell echoes the optimism surrounding AMI’s civic support. “The executives of AMI are very community-minded and have been great to work with,” he says. “With the new jobs and investments they’re putting into our county, this is a win for all our citizens.” E | A collective voice: “ BOBA OFFERS BUYING POWER TO SMALL BUSINESSES By Sherri Gardner Howell John Ballinger, co-owner of Business Owners Benefits Association and the company’s chief operating officer, knows about being “big.” A veteran of the U.S. Army, he enjoyed the benefits that came with being part of the huge military machine. When he retired in 2006 and started his own commercial business insurance company, Ballinger learned the disadvantages of being “small.” “I knew I wanted to be part of the small business world that makes this country great,” says Ballinger. “I started asking questions about the resources I thought should be available to small business owners – all those things that the big guys get because they are big – and found out there wasn’t any cohesiveness, any way for small businesses to collaborate.” The idea for BOBA was born then and established by Ballinger in 2007. The idea was to bring together a collective power for many of the things small businesses need for substantial cost savings. Ballinger gives a military example for what he sees as BOBA’s role. “I thought about 14 Basically Blount 2016 the way the military works. There’s a Pentagon, and the Pentagon runs the branches, the branches run the divisions, divisions run brigades and brigades to battalions and battalions to companies – that’s the military. When you look at it, there wasn’t a Pentagon out there for small businesses. That’s what we are. We will deal with all the ‘stuff’ that gets in the business owners way.” BOBA is membership based. Services available to the members concentrate on cost-saving and risk-control areas. BOBA offers members credit card processing services, energy saving evaluations, insurance, payroll and human resources compliance help, fleet services, legal services, help with parcel delivery oversight, funding and a fuel program. Eric Barton, owner of Vanquish Worldwide and more than 25 other business entities, first became a BOBA customer and is now co-owner. “Eric wanted to take a closer look at the company and saw a way to help move it forward and grow the concept, so he bought into the company,” says Dawn White, marketing manager. Since then, BOBA, which has offices in Chattanooga and Nashville, has now opened a new headquarters in Maryville at 222 Keller Lane. “Eric is the kind of person who wants to know everything about the businesses he owns,” says Ballinger. “Once he does, he knows how to make things happen. We now have a very comprehensive growth strategy.” Barton says the importance of BOBA lies in the help it can give small businesses. “Small businesses make up the backbone of the U.S. economy,” says Barton. “It’s time we joined together for the same buying power that large corporations benefit from on a regular basis.” Just as BOBA encourages businesses to have the “dream of one, the buying power of many,” the organization also wants to foster partnerships. “We want to come alongside other groups, like the Chamber of Commerce,” says Ballinger. “Partnerships and collaboration are concepts that are sometimes hard for small business owners to embrace, but they are crucial to moving small businesses forward in today’s economic climate. Small businesses need to be part of the Chambers of Commerce, and they need the services BOBA offers. We don’t do the same things, but we are both looking out for the best interests of the businesses.” EDUCATION www.BlountPartnership.com 15 Under the dome “ 16 TECHNOLOGY IS KEY COMPONENT IN ALCOA’S 21ST CENTURY CLASSROOMS Basically Blount 2016 By Bonny C. Millard The new Alcoa High School offers an impressive image with its shining aluminum dome, but the state-of-the-art technology inside is what drives 21st century learning. From the 3-D printer to lifelike medical mannequins to inventory control in the studentrun store, technology is more than bells-and-whistles for the students. They are exposed to training and education that will offer them experiences to further their career goals. The new building opened for the 2015-2016 academic year. Before those doors ever opened, the school system was involved in extensive planning and discussion to create a robust technological learning environment, says Lisa Berry, director of technology for the Alcoa City School System. “We have tried to be state of the art,” she says, acknowledging that this poses challenges with a project that takes several years to complete while technology is constantly changing. “Several of the things we talked about when we started had changed significantly or were no longer state-of-theart when decision time came,” says Berry. Some of the technological options became more cost effective than others. Interactive white boards with touch capabilities, for example, required projectors to operate, and the new building was designed for every room to have a projector. However, school officials opted to go with 70- to 80-inch big TV screens in each room, giving teachers the option of using iPads and computers that will interact with the large screens. The iPads give educators flexibility to move around the room and use their own teaching styles while incorporating technology into lesson plans. Each room also has a Blu-ray disc player for instructional videos and other class materials. The details can sometimes make a big difference. For example, Berry says teachers are equipped with microphones that can be hung around their necks or clipped onto clothing so that their voices are projected through classroom speakers. The benefits of having the teacher’s voice amplified are based in science, plus it is better for those with hearing problems, rooms with louder heating and cooling systems and is easier on teachers’ voices. “They’ve done some studies that show that having that sort of technology is really beneficial for the kids,” Berry says. “Plus, it cuts down on the number of sick days for the teachers because they don’t lose their voices as often.” The high school has six full computer labs including four with Mac computers and two with PC desktops. The library, which has a spectacular view of the Smoky Mountains, has 30 computers for students to use. The marketing class has a laptop cart to assist with projects such as the yearbook. Marketing students also run the Marsh School Store and use Square, a mobile payment system that can accept credit cards, and iPads for sales transactions. Square has an inventory program that helps students learn how to keep track of the store’s available merchandise. Vienna Coffee is a local partner. Director of Schools Brian Bell is working on a new five-year strategic plan, and technology will be a large part of that. On the discussion board is personal devices for each student and whether to go one-on-one, meaning students are provided with a device, or BYOD, where students are allowed to bring their own devices which must adhere to a specific school policy. Although the campus has wireless access throughout the whole system, Berry says they have received federal funding to improve that access by getting rid of dead spaces. Under the dome at Alcoa High School, technology is shining brightly as a way to enhance the education of 21st century students.

An initiative called iReach was born in the fall of 2013 to move that conversion forward and in a big way. When iReach was implemented at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year, the district provided an iPad or laptop to each of its 5,000-plus students. For K-4th grade students, iPads were provided. Students in grades 5-12 received Dell 3340 laptops. “Early adopter classrooms,” which accounted for about 30 percent, had been onboard since the fall of 2014. “These were teachers who felt they were ready instructurally to be first, to help us work out any kinks,” says Sharon Anglim, director of communications and special projects. While the most visible expense on spreadsheets is the purchase of the equipment and all the hardware and software that goes with that, the investment in training was monumental. “Our biggest focus has been making sure our teaching staff was prepared,” says Anglim. “We had a huge investment in professional development. Our teachers need to be comfortable effectively engaging students in learning through a digital environment. That had to come first.” The excitement level among the teachers was higher than the planners had dared hope. “We surveyed our teachers early on, as we were formulating the plan,” says Anglim. “We had 98 percent who said they felt this was the best next step for instruction and engagement for our school district. That kind of buy-in was critical to move the initiative forward. We knew this was going to take a huge commitment to professional development for our system and our teachers.” Parents, too, had to be part of the process. “Every student had to have a parent or legal guardian involved,” says Anglim. “We were as accommodating to schedules as possible, and we wanted to make the roll-out as efficient and effective as we could. It went very well. People were engaged. They came ready to listen.” The students were the easiest, says Anglim. “They were the quickest to adapt. They have been doing this all along, to a great degree, outside the school. In many ways, they were already ahead of us.” “Limitless Learning” is a phrase you will hear and see in Maryville City Schools’ material. It comes from one of the system’s mission statements: To infuse technology and shift instructional practices in ways that create limitless learning opportunities for all twenty-first century learners in the Maryville City Schools. The digital conversion opens a “dynamic learning process,” says Anglim, but there is still much that is familiar in the classrooms. The approach at Maryville is for a blending of old and new. “The devices are just tools,” says Anglim. “They are never going to replace excellent teaching. That is our experience, and that is what we expect. We have a blended environment that uses the devices but also has room for great paper-and-pencil processes and all the different things people used before. It has to be whatever works best for that subject.” www.BlountPartnership.com 19 All about options “ BLOUNT COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS MERGE TRAINING WITH KNOWLEDGE By Bonny C. Millard Blount County Schools has a two-fold goal of helping students be better prepared for the workforce and developing a strong employee pool for the local business community. To accomplish this, the two county high schools offer programs that give students the training and education they need to step right into the workforce after graduation, says Alisa Teffeteller, supervisor of federal programs and Career and Technical Education (CTE). “We’re trying to have students with some type of industry credential certification, work-based experience, dual enrollment/dual credit opportunities or that post-secondary bridge when they graduate and leave us,” Teffeteller says. Postsecondary no longer refers just to college but includes other types of training that prepare students for the workforce. The Blount Partnership has a workforce development task force that includes Teffeteller and allows her to interact with area business leaders. Many of the employers here and those moving to Blount County say they need a strong 20 Basically Blount 2016 workforce, says Teffeteller. “We’re trying to design our CTE programs more closely around the needs of our community.” The county high schools offer different opportunities in dual enrollment for college credits, STEM curriculum, medical training, agricultural programs and culinary arts, but school officials continue to look for new offerings that can benefit students. The school system has had a dual enrollment agreement for several years with Pellissippi State Community College for engineering classes at Heritage High School. These dual enrollment classes allow students to receive both high school and college credit and offer a great opportunity for students interested in the field of STEM, engineering and advanced manufacturing. Some of those courses overlap content, says Teffeteller. “We hope it also bridges that postsecondary component with those students able to go on to Pellissippi, do an internship or go to a fouryear college.” Students at both high schools can study in the emergency medical services program (EMS) and medical terminology through Roane State Community College. A certified nursing assistant program, CNA, has been in the high schools for a number of years. “We do have other dual enrollment agreements in other areas through Roane State Community College as well as TCAT in Knoxville,” she says. “For the TCAT areas, our programs are automotive technology, collision repair, welding and cosmetology.” Work-based learning programs provide juniors and seniors who have had three credits in a cluster area of program study with hands-on work experience. It creates a win-win situation, says Teffeteller, because the students will have both the skill base and the knowledge base to go out and do an internship with a business or an industry. The school system is working to get more industry certification opportunities in advanced manufacturing including welding and pneumatics. Educators are working to make sure the landscape after high school is populated with good options for today’s Blount County students. Supportive home for veterans “ MILITARY STUDENT CENTER AT MARYVILLE COLLEGE ENHANCES CONNECTIONS By Lance Coleman Going to college, like going into combat, is better with a “battle buddy.” A new Military Student Center at Maryville College hopes to be a buddy by helping veterans find the resources and camaraderie they need to succeed in the classroom. “The center gives us a place to share stories, experiences and to talk,” says Maryville College graduate and veteran Linda Hinkle. “It gives everyone the ability to have a ‘battle buddy,’ and anyone who has been in the military will understand the importance of that.” Hinkle served as a United States Army combat medic from 1993 to 1997. She says she appreciates the lengths Maryville College has gone to in developing the student center for veterans. “The college deserves all accolades they get,” says Hinkle, who graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. “That program has gone from nothing to everything in two years. They’re good. When they (Maryville College staff and faculty) get a hold of something to make it better for students, they make it happen.” Hinkle intends to give back, too. “My ultimate goal is to do mental health counseling with the Veteran’s Administration.” Vice President and Dean of Students Vandy Kemp says Maryville College admissions staff started seeing an increase in veterans attending Maryville College several years ago. Kemp says the veterans like Maryville College and excel at the school. “I think the smallness and the personal contact works for them, and they don’t feel like they’re being dumped into an anonymous, big institution. We started catering to them, began the Student Veteran’s Association and did activities to support them and their families,” she says. Kemp says that Maryville College received a Tennessee Veteran’s Reconnect Grant to expand services to veterans in 2015. “It enabled us to pay for setting up the Military Student Center that serves veterans and veteran’s dependents and enabled us to hire a director of that center.” Kemp says the grant is for one year, and the hope is the college will be able to sustain the position and continue working with military veterans. “The thing we learned when we visited other colleges with veterans’ programs is that one of the most important things www.BlountPartnership.com 21 was to have a space on campus dedicated to veterans so they can hang out with others who have had similar experiences. That is common for any veteran from any era, and this center enables them to do that,” she says. Lt. Col. Ted Higgs, U.S. Army (Ret.), is the director of the Military Student Center and an adjunct instructor in English. He says the initiative has been wellreceived by veteran students. Higgs, who started at Maryville College two years ago, says he came in contact with a couple military veterans who were attending classes at the college. “I got to talking to them and thought, ‘Maybe I could be of some service to them.’ Over the last two years, we’ve been able to build momentum, and now have a suite of rooms in the student center to support veterans on campus. I think we’ve made very good strides.” The center includes a conference room to use for tutoring or receptions, a kitchen, copy room with computers and a lounge area that also doubles as a small meeting room. Higgs says veterans on campus also include active duty personnel from McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base. Military veterans attending college have several challenges, he says, from adapting to a new culture, having a more relaxed schedule and adapting to civilian education. “Often it takes a term for them to get back in the routine of studying,” he says. Darren Dunlap, assistant admissions director for transfer and veteran recruiting, says 68 veterans and military-related students were enrolled in the college in the fall semester of 2015, a record number for the school. He sees the Military Student Center as one way the college works to support student veterans, active duty military students, as well as the spouses and children of veterans. “Having a place for our veteran community on campus is essential,” says Dunlap. “The Military Student Center offers our veterans a dedicated space for study, tutoring, relaxing and socializing, and it is also where the college’s Student Veterans Association chapter meets. It’s a gathering point. Having a space like this makes veterans feel welcome and makes the transition from the military to college easier.” Dunlap says veteran initiatives receive top-down support at the college. “We have supportive faculty and staff members in each department who work very hard for our veterans,” he says. A proud part of Blount County’s progress since 1819 Maryville College successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation.

MARY VIL L ECOL L EGE.ED U 22 Basically Blount 2016 Getting the skills “ Dr. L. Anthony Wise, Pellissippi State President By Heather Beck For 40 years, Pellissippi State Community College has devoted itself to providing skilled workers to employers in East Tennessee. Today, the college works with local businesses to fill skills gaps in the workforce — whether that’s providing skilled nurses to local hospitals or pairing prepared engineering technicians with local manufacturers. “Many of Pellissippi State’s degree programs are filling the gap that exists between the skills local businesses need and the knowledge that potential employees have,” said L. Anthony Wise Jr., Pellissippi State president. “We work closely with local businesses on curriculum development and workforce preparation to ensure that our graduates are ready to go to work.” Pellissippi State’s Automated Industrial Systems and Industrial Maintenance concentrations are prime examples of curricula that meet direct business needs in the community. Both of the concentrations, PELLISSIPPI STATE WORKING TO FILL THE GAPS which are under Engineering Technology, prepare students to work in different aspects of high-tech manufacturing settings. And both have been developed in partnership with local employers like Alcoa Inc. and Denso Manufacturing Tennessee, which have contributed funds to the Pellissippi State Foundation for state-of-theart equipment and for student scholarships. Patrick Bledsoe benefited from those community partnerships. He graduated from Pellissippi State in 2015 in two concentrations of Engineering Technology – Electrical Engineering and Automated Industrial Systems. “Most of us go to school for something, and we have classes we never use. But I use every class I took,” says Bledsoe, who works at George Paris Company. “I have to write reports www.BlountPartnership.com 23 and do presentations, so I need knowledge from English classes, and I have to know electrical and mechanical engineering technology. I’ve had to use it all, even on the second day of work. You have to know how things work.” Pellissippi State is also working to meet growing community needs with its nursing program. “The nursing shortage nationwide is a very real issue,” Wise said. “Here in East Tennessee, we’re working to fill that need by educating caring, competent nurses to work in local health-care fields.” Chisa Huffman is one of those nursing school graduates. She now works at Blount Memorial Hospital. “I hope to make big changes not just in the world of nursing but in every patient’s perspective of their hospital treatments,” Huffman said. “I want to make the medical world one that sees the multiple facets of patients: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I’ve had patients confirm to me that I’m in the right field. They’ll say to me, ‘Don’t stop. You’re going to change the world someday.’” That’s the goal of all of Pellissippi State’s programs: to enable graduates to make the community and the world a better place. Such lofty goals require community partners, and it is those partnerships that set Pellissippi State apart when it comes to educating the next generation of skilled employees. “No question, partnerships like these are what we’re looking for in Drive to 55,” said Mike Krause, executive director of Tennessee Promise and the Drive to 55, Tennessee’s pro24 Basically Blount 2016 gram to increase the number of Tennesseans with higher education credentials to 55 percent. “This initiative isn’t just about getting students in school but about encouraging them to graduate and then join the workforce. That’s what it’s all about.” Pellissippi State’s workforce development initiatives aren’t constrained to only the credit side of higher education. The college’s Business and Community Services Division can customize curricula and education programs for any company, whether that is for-credit or not-for-credit courses. Automated Industrial Systems, for instance, grew out of a partnership with Denso that combined electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and general studies classes into one streamlined program. Today, the concentration is open to any Pellissippi State student. “Workforce development is so much more than training,” said Teri Brahams, BCS executive director. “We’re partnering with local employers to solve real business challenges and to find solutions. Those solutions not only help the business, they help individual students meet their own professional and personal education goals.” At Pellissippi State, those education goals might mean an associate’s degree or a certificate. They might mean an apprenticeship program, continuing education or on-the-job training. Whatever the goal, Pellissippi State offers a personal touch to higher education. Human intelligence is still at the center of business needs, even in the manufacturing and automation fields, and Pellissippi State faculty and staff make sure students get the personal and professional development they need to be an asset to employers. Chisa Huffman, nursing school graduate Milestone years are here for Clayton-Bradley Academy “ THE SCHOOL’S STUDENTS ARE ONE OF THE ACADEMY’S STRONGEST SELLING POINTS. By Lance Coleman Clayton-Bradley Academy founder Pat Bradley says, “When (parents) come to the school, they see students who are happy and excited about the learning process,” Bradley says. “Parents see happy students, and students who want to come to school and who love being able to learn through projects.” Currently the school has 48 employees and more than 200 students. The veteran educator says 2016 and 2017 will be great years for the growing academy, which now has grades through 10th. This summer will see the opening of a new building with a full-size gym and large art and music rooms plus eight additional classrooms. “This additional wing will give us some office space we desperately need as well as a training center,” says Bradley. The school also will have four new modular cottages for the middle school and high school students, creating a campus for middle school and high school. Bradley says the school is adding an 11th grade in 2016 and a 12th grade in 2017 when the final phase of the high school building will be completed. “With the final phase of the high school building, we’ll be creating with an auditorium that will seat 500 people,” says Bradley. The new building will include space for the drama program and will also include a strings area and a robotics area. Clayton-Bradley Academy focuses on critical thinking, problem solving and working together collaboratively in its approach to education. Teachers integrate writing and language into the science, social studies and math programs. “We do a lot of project-based learning. It creates meaning for students in learning.” Technology is a big component of the STEM academy as well. “We’re doing a lot of work with coding and computer science. The high school will be working with computer-aided design as well as other technical elements,” she says. Foreign languages include Spanish, from preschool through seniors, and Chinese. Bradley says the school’s faculty and staff continue to work on their curriculum in refining the learning process for students and are also working on a training forum for teachers to help them refine their teaching skills. Community involvement for the students is through the school’s Partnership Program, where high schoolers work with companies in the community. “We are reaching out to businesses now to start to build those relationships in the community so our students can job-shadow,” she says. “It will help them to develop and enrich their learning about what they want to go into as a profession.” www.BlountPartnership.com 25 ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES Knowledge abounds with outstanding public schools along with numerous community colleges, technical/vocational schools, private colleges and public universities.

HEALTH & WELLNESS www.BlountPartnership.com 27 Be informed “ WELLNESS AND GOOD HEALTH STARTS WITH EDUCATION, SCREENINGS, SUPPORT By Blount Memorial Hospital Blount Memorial is a community-owned and communityfocused hospital. Improving overall health and quality of life in Blount County is the hospital’s primary mission. To accomplish that goal, Blount Memorial invests significant resources in free health education programs, support groups and preventive screenings for area citizens. Building a healthier community begins with ensuring access to the information and resources people need to make healthy choices 28 Basically Blount 2016 and take charge of their health. Promoting health and wellness benefits everyone who lives here by helping to reduce hospital visits, prevent illness and injury, increase productivity, control health care costs and identify and treat serious or chronic conditions in the early stages, including mental health disorders, diabetes and heart disease. So just what does the hospital do? Each year, Blount Memorial provides health education and community outreach services to more than 500,000 people. This outreach comes through workshops, classes, speakers, health fairs, support groups and free preventive screenings. From various cancers to heart and lung diseases, screenings can raise the red flag for folks to seek expert medical advice that can often save a life. The Blount Memorial Community Calendar on the hospital website – www.blountmemorial.org – has an ongoing and upto-date listing with times, dates and places of the educational programs, support groups and special events. Plug in to good health EDUCATION PROGRAMS At Blount Memorial, there often is such a thing as a free lunch. Blount Memorial’s physicians and staff regularly donate their time and expertise to provide important health information to the community with free lecture series and other education programs. Often these are scheduled during the lunch hour and include a free lunch so that more people can attend. The free educational offerings include a monthly diabetes lecture series covering topics such as diabetic foot health. During February, the focus turns to good heart health with a different physician speaker each week. Past topics in this annual series have included the depres- sion and heart disease connection and how to protect your heart health. Sometimes a group setting just doesn’t feel right. To help adult caregivers discuss their situations and explore possible resources in a supportive environment, Blount Memorial Senior Services representatives offer free one-on-one consultations. Appointments are required for these sessions, which are available to any adult caring for another adult. For more information, call Senior Services 865-977-5744. Most of Blount Memorial’s free programs are open to the community but others are offered to patients and families dealing with a specific diag- nosis.

In Maryville, the magic in the air boasts the aroma of barbecue, the allure of craft beer, the fun of diving dogs and more – all in one festive package called Summer on Broadway. Launched in 2014, Summer on Broadway takes place annually on the last weekend of June in downtown Maryville. Popular long-standing events such as the Big BBQ Bash, the Last Friday Art Walk and the downtown Farmers’ Market provided a foundation for the festival, and Hops in the Hills, the NAPA Auto Fest and the Smoky Mountain DockDogs competition filled out the family-friendly lineup. Kim Mitchell of the Blount Partnership coordinates Summer on Broadway. Her top priority is bringing tourists to the area. “One job that I have is to create and sustain quality events,” says Mitchell. “And that’s exactly what we are working on with Summer on Broadway.” From the beginning, the event has met its goal. Mitchell says they want to draw tourists who live within a four- to sixhour drive of Maryville. “We marketed heavily in Charlotte, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, some in Ohio, in Louisville, Ky., to bring those people in,” she says. “And we did find that we had a lot of people who were staying overnight who attended the festival.” While the early years have seen support primarily from the local community, “we see it in the next few years really growing and becoming an event that (brings) people from outside the area to visit. “The No. 1 reason why we do events is to bring tourists in so they can spend their money. That’s the name of the game. And second, we do it for the local community. It’s great to have local events that your local community can come out to, and it also benefits the local shops and the local restaurants. “If you have a massive amount www.BlountPartnership.com 33 Farmer’s Market of people downtown, they’re going to go into the restaurants and eat; they’re going to go into the shops and buy some stuff. So not only does it generate money from out of town, it generates money from your locals.” The Big BBQ Bash is a Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned event that’s also a fundraiser for the mental health, addiction treatment and social services programs of the Helen Ross McNabb Center in Blount County. Barbecue teams from East Tennessee and beyond set up on Friday and compete in some smaller categories that evening. On Saturday, they have the main competition – demonstrating their prowess with ribs, chicken and brisket – from noon to 3 p.m., and then the winners are announced. With downtown streets closed to traffic for Summer on Broadway, people can walk to all the events safely. And “free” is a word that echoes throughout, from parking to attending. The only element that requires paid admission is Hops in the Hills. 34 34 Basically Blount Blount 2016 2016 Basically Based in the parking lot next to Barley’s, Hops in the Hills focuses on the agriculture and science behind craft brewing. “It’s a huge market right now,” says Mitchell. “You have your home brewers, and you have breweries that are popping up like crazy, especially in Knoxville. It’s amazing how many are coming into Knoxville.” Seminars are offered before the festival and can cover anything from growing hops to adding special flavors to brews. Beer lovers can taste a variety of Summer on Broadway Duct Tape Project brews from 15 or more different breweries based throughout the Southeast. Tickets are available at hopsinthehills.com. Locals can show off their classic cars at the NAPA Auto Fest, which benefits Habitat for Humanity of Blount County. They can also participate in the Smoky Mountain DockDogs competition, though many of the contestants will come from outside the area. Mitchell says the event has proved to be very popular. The Last Friday Art Walk and Farmers’ Market both emphasize local talent. The Art Walk features the work of local artists, who both display and sell items. The Farmers’ Market offers not only produce but also crafts. Although the early years have shown promising attendance, Mitchell doesn’t expect Summer on Broadway to be an overnight sensation. “For the first five years we’re just going to be in a growth period,” she says. “It really takes time to get a festival known.” For more information, visit: www.summeronbroadway.net Music at The Shed By Sherri Gardner Howell Pull up a chair and get ready for the music.

The hobby became his livelihood, and the passion he had for wines and wine making wasn’t soured by the transition to an income source. Cades Cove Cellars, which opened in Townsend on St. Patrick’s Day in 2014, is a fullproduction facility. “We do everything right here,” says Reed. “We make the wine, bottle it and sell it here. The fruit comes in and is crushed and pressed. We also have 10 to 12 acres of our own grapes that we grow over in Roane County, but the grapes for our wines come from about half-a-dozen area growers.” Family is a big part of the business. Jerry and his wife, Priscilla, are partners with Bill and Sheila Birkholz and with Matthew and Cameron Birkholz. Cameron is the Reed’s daughter and Matthew is Bill and Sheila’s son. “Cameron, who went to school at University of California Davis, is our winemaker,” says Jerry. The winery currently has 14 types of wines on the shelves. In addition to the grape wines, there are fruit wines like blackberry and raspberry that are seasonal offerings. Cades Cove Cellars wines cover the whole spectrum – from sweet whites to dry reds. The winery and retail shop, which is on Highway 321 near the Apple Valley Country Store, is open “361 days a year,” says Reed. Visitors can visit the tasting room, look through the glass viewing area and sometimes see the bottling apparatus at work. Along with their wines, the owners offer gifts and wine-related items for sell in the gift shop. The Reeds owned Tennessee Valley Winery in Loudon County from 1984 until they sold it in 2013.”We saw this property, and we just got things rolling from there,” says Jerry Reed. “We have always loved Townsend and this side of the national park because there was less traffic and it is so pretty. And we love Cades Cove.” Courtesy of Graphic FX 36 Basically Blount 2016 That love was the inspiration for the name and park wildlife inspired the labels and the bear logo. Local artist Lois Alexander does the artwork for the back labels. Graphic FX created the logo for Cades Cove Cellars – a stylized bear with a wine-glass shaped nose. “We loved the bears and donate a portion of the sale of our blackberry wine to Appalachian Bear Rescue,” says Reed. “A lot of the wildlife and scenes in the area are represented on our labels, thanks to Lois Alexander – eagles, river otters, Abrams Falls, the synchronized fireflies. It makes the purchase a good souvenir even after the delicious wine is gone.” The bears, however, made sure they weren’t going to be forgotten by the winemakers. “When we were building, we had bears out back on our crush pad,” says Reed. “The chiller runs with glycol, which is sweet, and bears have very good noses. You can still see the claw marks on the back of the chiller.” OUTDOOR RECREATION & SPORTS www.BlountPartnership.com 37 Forging new paths “ PARKS & REC PROGRAMS REACHING BEYOND TRADITIONAL By Stefan Cooper It just may be the coolest sport ever. The Tiny Tots Triathlon, sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Commission of Maryville-Alcoa-Blount County, is a wellness event behind a sports mask. It’s one of many Parks & Recs programs geared toward encouraging an active lifestyle among area youth, says program director Kelly Forster. Parents accompanying their young racers get something out of it as well. “The parents get more worn out than the kids,” Forster says. From the tot triathlon to the new Clayton Disc Golf Course, to expanded programs at its state-of-the-art Everett Senior Center, Parks & Rec has never had more to offer, says executive director Joe Huff. “The youth sports are still our largest participation sports,” Huff says, “but, if you had told me 20 years ago we’d have a disc golf course, a dog park and a pickle ball court, I would have told you that you were crazy. Like all Parks and Recs, we’re always evolving. We’re youth, adults and seniors. We have a senior center with 600 members. I 38 love it. I wake up every day and have no qualms about coming to work. I have the best job I think you could have.” Youth football and soccer, along with adult softball, remain Parks & Rec mainstays. Registration for youth football takes place in January, with the season beginning in August. An ever-expanded flag football league completed its second season in 2015, offering parents of young children an alternative to the full-contact version of the sport. The league drew 200 participants in only its second season. “It’s something people have requested for years,” Forster says. “Knoxville has a league. We wondered what kind of response they were having because several families from Blount County were traveling to do it. It’s nice to have the option here at home now.” Two youth soccer seasons are offered each calendar year for ages 4 to 16. Adult league softball for ages 16-up encompasses two seasons split between summer and early fall. For this ever-evolving Parks & Rec department, however, the mainstays are getting some popular company. The new Clayton Holmes Disc Golf Course, located alongside the Alcoa Greenway near the company’s corporate offices, opened in October and ranks among the region’s premier courses. The basketball courts at the old Bassell School site in Alcoa were recently renovated to accommodate pickle ball, one of the fastest growing Basically Blount 2016 www.blountchamber.com 38 sports among seniors. Adult-league kick ball is coming. Park & Rec also maintains two outdoor pools at Springbrook and John Sevier. The 9-mile Maryville/Alcoa Greenway affords joggers, walkers and cyclists a scenic, wooded tour of the area along Pistol Creek. A connected Knox/ Blount County greenway system is in the planning stages. “What we’re offering the community will promote a healthy lifestyle,” Huff says. “We’ve got the tools. Our biggest need is more facilities, but we maximize what we have.” There’s a softer, more relaxed program that has had a big-bang start. Forster says one of the newest offerings Parks & Rec is most happy with is “Songs by the Brook,” a summer concert series. Begun in 2014 and the brainchild of Springbrook Recreation Center director Phil Eakins, the late summer/early fall series features local musicians performing from a flatbed truck along the creek at adjacent Springbrook Park. Local favorite Robinella appeared as part of the popular community event last fall. Few Parks & Rec offerings have proven as instantly popular as the Tiny Tots Triathlon. Hosted on the circular drive at Alcoa Elementary School on the second Sunday in September, this event for ages 3 to 6 includes a 1/4-mile bike/tricycle course, 200-yard run and big finish beneath an Alcoa Fire Department-sponsored sprinkler system. Kids ride, run and then cool off in the water. What could be better than that? Website: www.parksrec.com www.BlountPartnership.com 39 Run with a view “ GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS HALF MARATHON IS HARD TO BEAT By Stefan Cooper Racing on the doorsteps of the U.S.A. national parks? Such a race series with national parks as a backdrop presented a daunting challenge for the guy with the idea – Salem Stanley, an entrepreneur from the San Diego area. If it worked, Stanley, who now has founder of Vacation Races on his resume, knew there was at least one park the series absolutely had to have on its roster: the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. “Come on!” Stanley says. “It’s hard to beat the Smoky Mountains.” The Great Smoky Mountains Half Marathon was an instant hit at its September 2014 debut along Old Walland Highway. Terminating at the Townsend Visitors Center, the race proved a potent introduction to tourists who’d never traveled to the nation’s most visited national park. “Perhaps 40 to 50 percent of the runners have never been to the park,” Stanley says. The inaugural 2014 event drew better than 800 runners to the 13.1-mile course alongside the Little River, participation reaching 1,200 a year later. Online registration for the 2016 race is booming at 40 percent above last year’s pace. “Not only do they get to run, they get to see the park,” 40 Stanley says. Stanley founded Vacation Races with wife, Megan, in their San Diego home in 2012. The pair staged the first national park-themed half marathon at Zion National Park in Utah in March of 2013, quickly adding events in the Rocky Mountains and at Lake Powell. They weren’t sure how the nation’s running public would take races in and around parks. Races within the boundaries of national parks are prohibited. As the series gained a social media presence, interest and participation skyrocketed. “The runner response from Zion was overwhelmingly positive,” Stanley says, in part due to something unique to Vacation Races. The series enforces a strict no-cups policy at its events. “Ultimately, I took it to our Facebook page,” he says. “It was almost 100 percent, ‘You have to do it.’ We had virtually no trash on course. The cup-free system is something everyone loves, especially around national parks.” The Vacation Races series now encompasses nine half marathons, including events at the Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Yosemite. The Great Smoky Mountains Half Marathon will only grow in popularity, says Stanley, partly because of the park itself and partly because of area residents, businesses and volunteers who help make it go.

Everett High Road Maryville, TN 37803 865-983-9244 Basically Blount 2016 www.blountchamber.com 40 Two wheeling “ CYCLE TOURISM CONTINUES AS GROWTH INDUSTRY By Stefan Cooper From the miles-long, vista-filled climb of Foothills Parkway, to the cycling torture chamber that is Butterfly Gap, to the impossibly steep, 27 percent gradient locals call “Sweetie Pie,” Blount County has no shortage of challenges for the vacationing cyclist. The 3-mile, 13 percent gradient of Happy Valley Road, affectionately dubbed “the Wall,” is also a must-see. It’s the area’s ability to offer so much more to the cycling enthusiast, however, that’s enhanced its reputation as a mecca for the sport in recent years, Dancing Bear Lodge owner Mark Oldham says. “This has become the place for outdoor tourists who really want to enjoy top cycling in East Tennessee,” he says. “It attracts all levels of cyclists. All the natural resources we have in Blount County, the beautiful scenery, and you can find all kinds of rides.” Dancing Bear has for years sponsored one of the area’s biggest cycling vacation draws. The Dancing Bear Bicycle Bash saw 200-plus cyclists roll out from the lodge’s scenic Townsend location in September 2015. With 30-, 60- and 100-mile routes, the Bash makes a weekend of exploring Blount County by bicycle. The lodge schedules a host of postride events to ensure guests get the most from their stay. For the cycling tourist looking for something less strenuous, the lodge sits alongside a 5-mile bike path that runs to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Ten hotels, five bed and breakfast inns, specialty lodging and rentals are all within a bike ride, affording no shortage of finding just the right place to stay. Dancing Bear maintains a fleet of cruiser bicycles for those wishing to leave their machines at home. The scenery is the draw, says Greg Rowe, co-owner of Cycology Bicycles. “The landscape is world class, second to none,” he says. “The proximity to the mountains gives you the option of rolling hills and incredible climbs.” From road cycling to mountain biking to recreational cruising, “This area has all three,” Rowe says. “Even the weather helps. There aren’t many months where it’s too cold to ride.” New to the area and gaining strength are excursions called brevet cycling, 200-kilometer plus rides where endurance, not speed, is the draw. In November 2015, 20-plus toughminded souls descended upon the area for a weekend-long event. “They come just to ride Foothills Parkway,” Cycology shop manager Dave Penegar says. “They bring their bikes and RVs and camp down by the river. We’ve got a couple that comes down here that used to own a bike shop in Canada. They come down from Nova Scotia to ride.” Dancing Bear has plans for weeklong cycling excursions in 2016 and 2017. Shops like Cycology and clubs like the area’s Foothills Striders provide a ready resource and often serve as an introduction to cyclists interested planning a vacation on the bike. “One thing we love to do is show people our favorite rides,” Penegar says. The Striders’ annual Tour de Blount brings hundreds of cyclists to the region each May, many for the first time. A word to the wise for those who plan their cycling getaway around a conquest of “Sweetie Pie.” The less-than-a-mile stretch of pavement just off Foothills Parkway is officially known as Flats Road. Blount County, like much of the rest of the South, is famed for its ironies. www.BlountPartnership.com 41 BUILDING COMMUNITIES 42 Basically Blount 2016 Reaching out “ BUSINESSES PARTICIPATE FULL CIRCLE IN UNITED WAY PROCESS By Julie Stansberry United Way of Blount County Raising more than $2 million in three months isn’t what you call… easy. But when employees and leaders in 200 businesses in Blount County sign up to help, the task becomes a lot more manageable. Each year, United Way of Blount County holds an annual fundraising campaign that benefits 29 community partner agencies in the areas of health, education and self-sufficiency. Money raised improves the lives of more than 50,000 people in the community, and, while the money comes from many different places, the bulk of what is raised comes from the workplace. In Blount County, workplace donations to United Way make up 65 percent of the donations. Business involvement is interactive, with business leaders and employee representatives encourage their employees to help better the community, offering incentives to give, holding employee campaigns and fundraisers and helping workers to volunteer in a variety of areas. “We support United Way because they support so many of us here in Blount County,” said Kevin Painter of LeConte Wealth Management. “Allow- Faith, a client of New Hope Children’s Advocacy Center, tells those gathered for a United Way Campaign Kickoff Breakfast about her experiences as a victim of abuse and the help she received at New Hope. ing our employees to volunteer their time as loaned executives and committee members is the least we can do to help such a vital community partner.” When United Way wrapped up its 2015 campaign, the goal of $2,020,000 was met and exceeded. In February 20216, the money raised was allocated to partner agencies, and many of the same people who donated to the campaign had a chance to help make distribution decisions using United Way’s intense review process. The feedback United Way typically receives is that employees enjoy being a part of the full circle – from donating to the campaign to distributing the money to partner agencies www.BlountPartnership.com 43 United Way of Blount County hosted its inaugural Live United Bus Tour, where local government and business representatives visited two of the organization’s community partners. a few months later. Mindy Boudreau of CBBC has served as both a campaign loaned executive and an allocations panel member. “It wasn’t until serving on these committees that I truly understood where my money was going,” Boudreau said. “One could tell me where it went, but until I actually saw the need with my own eyes, I could not truly appreciate the agencies that were involved with United Way of Blount County. I can honestly say there is not an agency out there that is not deserving.” United Way is proud to have members of the business community as such strong supporters, especially once they are exposed to the needs right here in our backyard. “Allocation panels are the heart of the work that we do here at United Way of Blount County,” said Wendy Wand, Director of Community Impact. “These funding panels drive the direction for our future, and it all starts with the volunteers who participate. Each year, we 44 Basically Blount 2016 take nearly 100 volunteers from the community, largely from businesses that support United Way through their workplace campaigns, and those same volunteers decide where the money goes that they worked so hard to raise.” These individuals bring their own expertise from the workplace and the blending of skills is beneficial to the process. From bankers to accountants, to teachers and office administrators, to government employees, all look at the needs and the agencies with a mix of compassion and stewardship. What ensues from this mix is a broad viewpoint and lively discussions that lead to effective funding decisions. Almost 50 local businesses were represented in the 2015 allocation process. Not everyone is able to participate in allocations, so United Way came up with a unique opportunity for community members to see the impact firsthand through the inaugural Live United Bus Tours during the summer of 2015. A group of 33 community members were able to see the United Way dollars at work by visiting two partner agencies – The Gate and Family Promise. After the tours, United Way staff asked the individuals what they thought after seeing a couple of United Way’s partners in action. “I enjoyed the tour,” said Amanda Stone with LeConte Realty, LLC. “It’s always a great idea to go to the agencies to see what they’re doing in person. It just confirms my belief that United Way is all about the community and a desire to make it a better place.” Engagement from the business community is crucial in other facets of United Way throughout the year, too. From special events like the golf tournament and Gas Day, to the United Way board of directors, to leadership roles in the annual fundraising campaign, there are plenty of opportunities for volunteers from local businesses to truly make an impact in the full circle of United Way work. For young professionals “ SOFT SKILLS TRAINING CAN BE CAREER-BUILDER Entering the workforce is both an exciting and a daunting transition. Figuring out what you don’t know is often as important as what you do know – and filling in those gaps can make a difference early in a new worker’s career. With an ear out to listen to local businesses, the Blount County Chamber of Commerce heard of a gap in a variety of professions that all had a common theme. It wasn’t math, science or technology. It was “soft skills.” Soft skills are defined by Investopedia as “the character traits and interpersonal skills that characterize a person’s relationships with other people.” In other words, employers were noticing that while a new professional might come in with good skills and training in the “hard skills” needed to do the job, his or her knowledge of conflict resolution, team building and communication, for example, was lacking. Soft Skills Training was born to help career-minded men and women, especially the young professional who is just starting his or her career, bridge that gap. Eight free soft skills sessions are offered during select months at the Blount County Public Library. The venture is a partnership between the library, chamber and the Adult Education Foundation of Blount County. Most classes require participants to bring their electronic devices, and each class is limited to 30 people. “Workforce development is an ongoing focus for the Blount Chamber,” says Tammi Ford, Vice President of the Blount Chamber of Commerce. “Soft skills training is one of several workforce development areas the Chamber continues to tackle.” The Blount County Chamber website (www.blountchamber. com/community/soft-skills) posts the schedule for the classes. Here is a rundown of some of the subject matter: Effective Communication: Whether you are an aspiring leader or in a support role, developing your communication skills can impact your success. Great communicators listen well, seek mutual understanding and welcome sharing of www.BlountPartnership.com 45 information fully. The sessions focus on ways to improve your workplace communication. Information Management: Personal information management (PIM) is the practice and study of the activities people perform to acquire, organize, maintain and retrieve information for everyday use. In an ideal world, we have the right information at the right time, in the right form at an ideal level of completeness and quality to use. These sessions explore how to make use of processes and technology tools to organize and access daily information so we have the time needed to make creative, intelligent use of the information at hand to get things done. Team Building: Employee teams are one of the best ways to get things done in any business. Want a better working environment, increased employee satisfaction, better work results, flexibility, sharing of information and better processes? Build a team culture. These sessions focus on team building through the implementation of a framework that addresses trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results. Conflict Management: Conflict arises when there is a situation where the interests, needs, goals or values of involved parties interfere with one another. Conflict situations are an important aspect of the workplace and can become a positive force in a trust situation. These sessions discuss the role of conflict in a successful team culture and provide techniques for managing conflict in 46 Basically Blount 2016 a positive, productive manner.
