Dunn Construction has a long standing relationship with Ingram’s. We value the quality editorial, topical research and market penetration to help our company meet its business objectives.” Terry Dunn, Chairman J.E. Dunn Construction Group “Ten years ago, we came into this market with no name recognition and we knew we had to do something to let people know we were here and to start building a brand. Ingram’s comes to us with ideas and advertising and sponsorship opportunities that others don’t match, and their programs, like 40 Under Forty or CEOpen, validate our belief that we’re dealing with the right organization to help us build our brand in the marketplace.” Jeff Spencer, VP, Holmes Murphy & Assoc.

Congressional bills that run past 1,000 pages, and the legislative processes that produce them—as with the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank financial reforms— failed to generate much outrage with the voting public in recent years, despite ample evidence to demonstrate that neither had achieved its stated goals. Perhaps it was only a matter of timebefore we’d see four-figure administrative actions. The most recent of those is the Clean Power Plan, rolled out in early August at an impressive 1,560 pages, with thousands of pages to follow. Combined with thousands of pages of additional guidance still to come, it will do for America’s energy sector, critics say, precisely what ACA did for health care expenditures and Dodd-Frank did for compliance costs at community banks. 58 INGRAM’S Chief Officer Adviser: The Benefits of Hiring Veterans Military Industry Outlook Report In a world teeming with investment options, there are many Growing Concerns September 2015 2015.09 ManagingEnergyFeature.indd 58 List of Veterans’ Resources Regional Military Installations Only this time, anyone whose electricity comes from burning coal will be able to see the effects on the monthly utility bill. “It will be, by far, the most expensive compliance policy the EPA has ever undertaken,” cautions Andrew Ferris, director of electric supply planning for the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities. At $311.5 million in 2014 revenues, the Wyandotte County-based municipal utility is but a fraction of the size of investor-owned utilities like Western Resources, parent of Kansas City Power & Light, or Westar Energy in Topeka. But the BPU will more acutely feel the effects of new federal restrictions because it lacks the economies of scale enjoyed by the larger utilities. The effect would be multiplied within this region because the utility not only produces power for 63,000 customers in the county, but hundreds of thousands more who rely on it to power municipal water systems in the region, including Johnson County’s massive Water One. At this point, the BPU has no solid estimates on what the costs of CPP compliance will be, Ferris says. An hour to the west, Westar’s John Bridson has a more forceful opinion about what the CPP will impose on consumers and businesses: “I think the impact to the people of Kansas is going to be big, and that concerns us because we’re worried about those families’ ability JULY 2014 Competition makes us better at what we do. That’s why Ingram’s works so hard to identify and quantify outstanding performance. For 31 years, for example, our Corporate Report 100 competition, which ranks the 100 fastest-growing companies headquartered in the KC region, has been the gold standard for honoring fast-growth companies, and Ingram’s Best of Business Kansas City, in its 28th year, is a must-read for those who know and appreciate quality products and services.

But which will generate the right yield for you? 9/21/15 2:11 PM Ind Outlook cover.indd 1 By Dennis Boone In some ways, it is the typical small-business succession story: After a decade of building a start-up with a relative handful of employees into a leader in its field with more than 150 on the payroll, the chief executive is ready to turn the reins over to the next generation of leadership. So he does his diligence, brings on board someone prepared to take the organization to even further heights, and prepares to step out of the limelight. By Dennis Boone On one hand, today’s investor must feel like a kid in a candy store, eyes wide open with all the potential choices—individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, precious metals, consumable commodities, energy plays, angel and venture-capital possibilities . . . The complexity and inter-connectedness of those choices is staggering, and only the stout of heart would risk venturing into some of those combat zones without a small army of trusted advisers as back-up. And the task for all is no easier as mid-2015 approaches, where we find that: The Dow Jones Industrial Average isn’t far off its historical high of 18,312.39 and hasn’t had a major correction in six years. 10-year treasuries are still throwing off yields of roughly 2.4 percent and have only cracked the 3 percent mark on two trading days in the past four years. Gold is down nearly 40 percent from a 2011 high. Oil is less than half its price a year ago, taking the prices of other energy sources down with it. And grain commodities are taking a beating. Those are just a few of the mileposts along the current investment highway. What to make of them? Ingram’s turned to professionals from a wide range of investment disciplines for some guidance, and their answers could prove useful for those taking mid-year stock of their portfolios.
