PMA Raises $1,140 for United
Craftsmen Children’s Shoe Drive
PMA NW Metro members
in Marietta donated all the
proceeds from yearly 50/50
raffles towards the United
Craftsmen Children’s Shoe
Drive. Attendees at the PMA
Golf Tournament contributed raised an additional
$480 to the charity.
Bob Carpenter, PMA Industry Director, is President
of the charity. According to
Bob, “Our Mission is to let
the children who live in
Children’s Homes and Foster Homes know that the
Skilled Craftsmen of the
United States care about
them by affording them the
opportunity to pick out a new
pair of shoes, a six pack of
socks, and enjoy a pizza buffet lunch at Christmas Time.
100% of the funds that are
raised go to help the children. Every one that helps
is a volunteer who donates
their time to our cause.
There are no salaries paid
to anyone involved in our
program.”
For some, that is all the
Christmas they will have.

excited that he commented,

Scogin passed away in early

and industry colleagues
were in attendance at the
tribute, and enjoyed a day of
sport and fellowship.
In 2002, PMA’s board,
made a motion to dedicate
the fall golf tournament to
memorialize and recognize a
leader and industry supporter. The first tournament
was dedicated to Ed
Hennessey, who was a tireless supporter of the association and the plumbing industry. Based on that dedication PMA established the
“Hennessey Cup”. This cup
is PMAs equivalent to a
plumbing hall of fame. Nominees are considered based
on the impact of their contributions to the profession.
For over 50 years Mr.
Scogin was a mover and a
shaker in the in Georgia’s
plumbing industry beginning. He was an Atlanta native who grew up working in
his father’s plumbing company. He returned to the
company after earning his
degree from Georgia Tech in
industrial management. In
the early 60’s his company
merged with another and became Stasco. Over the
years Stasco has earned the

Shoe Drive. Cindy Carpenter and Lisa Ambrose encouraged
golfers to give so children in foster homes could purchase a new
pair of shoes for Christmas. — with United Craftsmen Children's
Shoe Drive at Bear's Best Atlanta.
“Now I have something to
wrap and put under the tree
to open on Christmas Morning.” $50 gets a child a new
pair of shoes of their choice,
a six pack of socks, and a fun
pizza lunch with other children who are living with the
same circumstances.

American Standard CEO to Lead
Global Sanitation Session at Clinton
Global Initiative Annual Meeting
specifically addressing issues
affecting girls' safety and education.
Worldwide, 2.5 billion
people lack access to safe
sanitation facilities. Every day,
2,000 people die from diseases caused by this lack of
proper sanitation, many of
them children. The United
Nations has set a 2015 Millennium Development Goal of
reducing by half the proportion of people who lack access
to safe drinking water and
basic sanitation.
In 2013, American Standard Brands announced an
official CGI Commitment to
Action to improve sanitation
and quality of life for three
million people around the
world from 2014 through
2017. Including the 2.5 million
residents of Bangladesh that
received safer sanitation assistance from the Company
during 2013 and 2014, an estimated 5.5 million people will
be reached by the end of
2017.
This commitment played a
Jay Gould, president and CEO
of American Standard Brands
American
Standard
Brands President and CEO
Jay Gould will speak at the
10th Clinton Global Initiative
(CGI) Annual Meeting tomorrow on the topic of improving
access to safe sanitation facilities around the world and
its effect on people's health,
education and safety. Gould
will be joined in discussion by
Raya, a new Sesame Street
character acting as the mascot for the “Cleaner, Happier,
Healthier” sanitation campaign recently launched in
Bangladesh, India, and Nigeria.
The session will focus on
the serious problems caused
by the lack of access to adequate sanitation, including
the increased healthcare
costs, diminished productivity,
unsafe environment and premature death rate. The
speakers will also explore how
NGOs, private enterprises
and entrepreneurs can partner to build sanitation infrastructures in rural and urban
environments, providing appropriate sanitation options
for local communities, while
key part in the Flush for Good
campaign launched by American Standard in 2013, with the
goal of increasing awareness
of the global sanitation crisis,
while creating innovative solutions to help stop the spread
of disease caused by inadequate sanitation facilities in
developing countries. In part
through a grant from the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation, American Standard researched and invented the
SaTo (derived from Safe Toilet) sanitary toilet pan in 2013,
designing it to work without a
sewer infrastructure. The
SaTo toilet pan uses ingeniously simple mechanical
and water seals to close off
pit latrines from the open air,
thereby reducing the transmission of disease and odor.
The Company's Flush for
Good campaign donates one
SaTo pan for every Champion
toilet sold in North America
during 2013 and 2014.
American Standard has
partnered with non-profit organizations including BRAC,
WaterAid, Save the Children,
Plumbers Without Borders
and Water For People to distribute SaTo toilet pans
throughout the developing
world. To date, these simple,
yet innovative, SaTo pans
have helped improve, and
save, lives around the world:
•In 2013, more than
530,000 SaTos were donated
to BRAC, WaterAid and Save
the Children for their distribution throughout Bangladesh
over the next two years.

ASPE President’s Message
by Joseph V. Messina, President
The September Dinner
Meeting was a success with
over seventy members and
guest attending. I would like
to thank everyone for attending and being part of
the first Chapter Meeting of
the season. I hope to see
each and every one of you
at our October meeting to
make it even more of a success.
The Atlanta Delegates
made it back from the 2014
ASPE Convention and Expo
that was held in Chicago
before the Control Tower
went down at O’Hare Airport.
I would like to thank the Delegates for taking their time
and representing the chapter so well. And I was really
surprised and pleased at the
number of Atlanta Chapter
Members that attending the
Convention and Expo. Several people came up to me
and mentioned that the Atlanta Chapter was well represented. The business
meetings went really smooth;
in fact we actually got out of
the meeting earlier then in
the pass which surprised
everyone. During the meet-
SECTION B: COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL
ing awards were given out
and Jeff Long, VP Membership was awarded the Membership Retention Award.
The Chapter was awarded
the Chapter Award of Merit
and was a winner of the
Chapter Trivia Contest
thanks to the effort of Jim
Zebrowski, Region 3 Director, making sure that the
questions were found and
the contest sheet was filled
out. And during the Banquet
Jim was sworn in as our Region 3 Director for the next
two years along with the new
Society Board of Directors.
After last months Dinner
Meeting I found a pair of
Foster Grant reading
glasses and leather case left
on a table. If you are the
owner of this glasses please
contact me and I will find a
way to get them to you. I
would wear them myself but
they are not my prescription.
Remember to attend our
October 28th Dinner Meeting. You can read Nick
Mosley’s article about the
program or the information
is also in your Invitation to
the dinner which you receive

I just got back in the office today, coming back from
2014 ASPE Convention and
Exposition in Chicago. In my
opinion it was a very successful Convention, celebrating 50th anniversary in
a beautiful city. I am sure
you will hear a lot about this
event from other attendees
and ASPE media. Talking
about attendees, I have met
a lot of people from Atlanta,
especially on the Expo floor
making me feel very proud
of the ASPE Atlanta Chapter.
On the legislative side, in
a brief summary, I attended
National Legislative Committee meeting last Saturday
from 7:30 AM (luckily is CST

You don’t want to live in
the past, but September’s
dinner meeting is worth men-
tioning one more time.
Newell Rollins provided attendees with an interesting
and informative presentation, the Villa Christina filled
us with a fantastic dinner,
and most noteworthy, we had
a record crowd on hand.
The attendance number totaled somewhere around the
70 mark. As VP-membership, I was as excited as can
be. We had quite a few first
time dinner attendees, which
are all now on my radar. If
you missed out on the fun,
don’t make the same mistake twice. Be there Tues-

meeting in September, and
decided right then and there
to join us permanently.
Make sure you welcome Josh

much more to report on the

5 Strategies to Ensure
Family Business Success
Advisor Shares Tips for
Avoiding Common Problems
Non-family businesses
can learn a lot from family
businesses, says Henry
Hutcheson, a certified Family Business Advisor and
founder of Family Business
USA consultancy.
“Family businesses outperformed non-family businesses during the boom
years leading up to the 2008
recession, and during the
2001 and 2008 recession
years,” he says, citing a recent Harvard Business Re-
view study.
Hutcheson, author of the
new book, “Dirty Little Secrets of Family Business,”
(http://dirtylittlesecrets
offamily business.com), says
family businesses were less
likely to lay off workers during the lean times, and more
likely to maintain their emphasis on socially responsible programs.
But that’s just the businesses that survived.
“Many closed their
doors,” he notes.

management and family
business consulting experience, Hutcheson says he’s
seen the patterns that can
lead to major problems. And
they’re almost always preventable.
“The factor that enables
family businesses to rise to
the top is trust: Family members can potentially trust one
Page 5B
another far more than nonfamily members,” he says.
“But trust can erode – when
a family member can’t or
won’t perform at the necessary level; when there’s a
sense of entitlement; drug
abuse; laziness. And that
can have serious, businesskilling consequences.
“If the business is
professionalized, there will
be a way to deal with those
issues. But too often, safeguards are not in place.”
Hutcheson offers five top
success strategies for family businesses:
• Keep the lines of communication open. Schedule
regular family meetings to

discuss issues of concern
and topics such as business
transition, business performance, and responsibilities.
Include all of the family members, no matter where in the
hierarchy their jobs fall –
exclusion creates animosity.
Create a family manual that
lays out the ground rules for
how the meetings will take
place to ensure everyone
gets a chance to be heard
and impediments to communication are left at the door.
• Assign clear roles and
responsibilities. As a family
member, it’s natural to feel
that everything is “my” business. However, not everything is every family
member’s responsibility. Job
definitions prevent everyone
from jumping in to tackle the
same problem, and help ensure the business runs
smoothly.
• Keep good financial
data. The downfall of many
small businesses and family
businesses is not having
solid data. Have a single
point of contact to manage
the finances. If you’re small
enough, you can rely on a
family member. Otherwise,
you’ll need to bring in a qualified accountant. You may
cringe at the cost for this, but
the difference between a
good accountant and a bad
one is the difference between knowing exactly where
you are on the road and trying to drive with a mud-covered windshield.
• Avoid overpaying family members. Market-based
compensation is fundamental and essential. Parents in
family businesses tend to
overpay the next generation, or pay everyone
equally despite differing levels of responsibility. Both are
bad practices. The longer
unfair compensation practices continue, the messier
it will be to clean up when it
blows up.
• Don’t hire relatives if
they’re unqualified. Competence is key. Family businesses are a conundrum:
The family aspect generates
unqualified love, while the
business side cares about
profits. Thus, family members will be hired to provide
them with a job, even though
they’re not qualified. The
remedy is to get them
trained, move them to a role
that matches their skills, or
have them leave.
“More than 70 percent of
all businesses are family
businesses – they account
for a significant number of
new jobs and a large portion
of the GDP,” Hutcheson
says. “But that’s not the only
reason they’re so important.
“They’re motivated by
profits, but also by other important considerations:
pride in the family name,
building something for future
generations, philanthropy.
For those reasons, they contribute in tremendous ways
to social stability. They make
our communities better.”

took current and potential
customers feedback to heart
when designing Velocity, it is
the most advanced technology of any waterfree cartridge ever. We wanted a
solution that was not only
leaps and bounds ahead of
anything on the market today but was also compatible
with our current waterfree
urinal systems to ensure a
high rate of adoption in the
industry."
Every year, one Sloan
waterfree urinal can save up
to 40,000 gallons of water
while utilizing zero operational energy. Since introducing Waterfree technol-
ogy about 10 years ago,
Sloan and Falcon Waterfree
Technologies have saved
over an estimated 20 Billion
Gallons of water. In an era
of ever rising water and
sewer
rates,
severe
drought, and increased water regulations, water savings are more crucial than
ever.
