The collapse of the economy in 2008 and 2009 revealed the loss of faith in our banking and regulatory system. Reputations were harmed or ruined and the stock market came to a halt. The ensuing collapse taught us that consumer faith is essential in conducting business. The loss of faith in the financial system is rooted in a loss of goodwill. The average person has come to see many businesses as doing what is good for the business and not good for the customers. Goodwill is a helpful way to express faith in business and account for the financial value that a business is providing to society. The word goodwill first penetrated the language of business in the sixteenth century, acquiring a second meaning in commercial circles: It signified the patronage or repeat customers that a particular merchant had acquired, and the consequent profit that a buyer of the business could anticipate above the value of the businesses physical assets. Within the accounting industry, the term “goodwill” is used to round out a company’s balance sheet. Its role is to quantify how good the reputation of a business is beyond its book value – the value assigned to its inventory, equipment, buildings, cash, furniture and other assets. Whereas the book value describes the tangible assets, goodwill describes the intangible. It is much more subjective and varies in proportion to factors like customer growth, brand loyalty and trust people feel toward the organization. We are regaining faith in business as evidenced from the data that was shared recently about the State of Ohio. Ohio has worked diligently to create a more jobs–friendly climate, promoting “in-state goodwill” and the results are getting noticed by our local community leaders and by our nation’s business chief executives on where to create jobs. Chief Executive Magazine recently named Ohio the “most improved” state in the U.S. for doing business in its ninth annual survey of CEOs. Up 13 places from last year, Ohio is now ranked the 22nd best state to do business with in the nation. Some of the quotes about Ohio from Chief Executive Magazine include “Ohio is constantly trying to help grow businesses and are listening to the leaders of companies to help solve problems” and “Ohio is doing some amazing things to attract and support a pro-business climate.” Combine that with a May 2013 report that U.S. consumer confidence jumped to a 5 year high of 76.2, we’re slowly regaining faith in our economy. …consumer faith is essential in conducting business.” Understanding the role that goodwill plays in business and that it is both tangible and intangible is essential. The new norm in how we conduct business is here to stay and we are recognizing that all healthy economic activity needs be tangible and, thus mutually beneficial – ROI…a return on investment. If in doubt, do what is right for your customers as a lot of the time this is not initially apparent, thus intangible. These dimensions of goodwill lead to profits and long-term relationships that sustain the business even during tough times. It’s a good sign that we’re regaining faith in our economy as evidenced by the positive results of getting back to business basics. “Show me the goodwill!” is the charge today from our customers. Thank you for being a valued member of the West Chester Liberty Chamber Alliance. Together we grow your business!

Brandon Hunter, [email protected] 4 www.TheChamberAlliance.com Clark Schaefer Hackett Associates plan to send 75 veterans to DC The year 2013 marks 75 years in business for public accounting firm Clark Schaefer Hackett (CSH). To celebrate the anniversary, the firm’s workforce is raising funds for Honor Flight, a not-for-profit organization that transports veterans to visit and reflect at their Washington, D.C. memorials. The goal is to send 75 veterans, one for every year that the firm has been in business. To date, the CSH workforce has raised the funds to send 46 veterans. Support has been a combination of personal contributions and staff-driven fundraisers. The total also includes contributions from various clients who have become interested in the effort. “Our staff is excited, and we feel a true sense of purpose,” said Robin Dennis, leader of the Honor Flight initiative for CSH’s Miami Valley Office. “This project has been a great way to give back to a community that has supported us for 75 years.” Clark Schaefer Hackett’s 75-year history rests on the contributions of veterans, including those who currently work throughout its ranks.

Take another look Butler County United Way Announces Campaign Cabinet Chair Tim Abbott, Director-Government & Community Relations for Duke Energy, is leading the charge of the Butler County United Way annual campaign as the 2013-2014 Campaign Cabinet Chair. “I volunteer to help Butler County United Way because I believe in their mission to Give, Advocate, Volunteer and Live United. Over 20 years ago, I volunteered to help the Hamilton, Fairfield and vicinity campaign as a cabinet member calling on manufacturing businesses and have been involved ever since. It was a great learning opportunity to witness the generosity of our business community, but a very humbling experience to see the need for assistance in our neighborhoods,” said Tim Abbott. The Campaign Cabinet is a group of community business leaders who are committed to the mission of Butler County United Way. Their primary responsibility is to drive United Way’s annual fundraising campaign in local businesses and agencies. Dollars raised fund the programs and initiatives that help our youth become successful adults and adults become selfsufficient. Butler County United Way will publicly kickoff the 2013-2014 Annual Campaign on August 30th, from 7:30am-9am at the New Hamilton Amphitheater in Hamilton.

SPOTLIGHT on Emery Federal Credit Union The West Chester Liberty Chamber Alliance fosters companies from early beginnings to fresh new 21st century ideas. If you are into historical Cincinnati businesses and their stories of success, then this is an example of one such company. In 1840, The Emery Candle Co. was founded in Cincinnati and the plant is still located along I-75 by the P&G soap factory. This family-owned chemical company wanted to be able to provide their employees with a better way to bank and in 1939 the credit union was chartered. In the years following, the Emery Federal Credit Union has undergone a lot of operational changes and is now thriving as a credit union, available to the entire Cincinnati area. Some of the original members of the credit union are still customers and as Shelly O’Neill, VP Branch Operations explains, “It’s neat when a customer comes in and their account is #10!” Now in 2013, you can enter any of the local Emery branches in Liberty Township, Sycamore Township, and Western Hills for full service financing and regular banking. If easy access to your account is a concern, Emery Federal Credit Union participates in the Shared Branching Network which is accessible in over 5,000 other locations and over 27,000 ATMs nationwide. The close-to-home values are what have given Emery new growth in the past few years as the management team has many Cincinnati ties. Emery believes being involved in committees and staying connected through outside networking is a key to success. They also believe in the community and help to make it a better place to live. They have community outreach projects and donate time and money to the Emery Community Foundation which benefits Shriners, Alzheimer’s and Honor Flight Tri-State (flying WWII vets to Washington D.C.). Emery also encourages its employees to give back, so they provide community service hours for employees to use. Emery Federal Credit Union is a sustaining sponsor of the West Chester Liberty Chamber Alliance, have 2 graduates of the 2007 Leadership 21 Class, and Shelly O’Neill was the recipient of the 2009 Jerry Bryan Chamber Member of the Year Award. Being active in the Chamber and building lasting relationships is important to their success! Moving forward, Emery has big plans. They launched their mobile app this year with bill pay (remote deposit capture coming soon) and also opened a call center, specifically to focus on increasing the level of their customer service. At the next Chamber event, please introduce yourself to any of the Emery reps attending: Shelly O’Neill, Chrissy Shumake or Britt Scearce. Meanwhile, you can catch Britt on FOX 19 on the first Wednesday of the month, or on occasion on 55 KRC.

West Chester’s new Integrated Multimedia & Marketing Department captures all of the Township’s resources for communication under one umbrella and focuses on efforts to engage and reach residents and businesses with timely and relevant information. The West Chester Township Board of Trustees endorsed an organizational restructuring in May that increases efficiency in communication efforts while reducing costs. Integrated Multimedia & Marketing merges the former West Chester Community Television Depar tment with the previously separate township’s Public Information Office. The resulting department employs all of the Township’s multimedia and marketing resources, including social media platforms, website, graphic design and illustration, video production, and operations and assets of West Chester Community Television to achieve all of the Township’s public information, events, and marketing endeavors. The restructuring does not dissolve the operations of West Chester Community Te l e v i s i o n , b u t integrates it more closely with o t h e r To w n s h i p multimedia and marketing operations. “ West Chester is fortunate to have so many communication resources at its disposal,” said Barbara Wilson, direc tor of IM&M. “Harnessing these resources and deploying them in a manner that best reaches the community and delivers relevant and timely content will be our goal.” West Chester Township offers a complete menu of information resources to keep residents and businesses well-informed, including a user-friendly website – WestChesterOH.org. The website offers the most complete and up-to-date information about the Township. WestChesterOH.org changes regularly and residents and business owners are encouraged to save it as a “favorite” and visit often. Facebook and Twitter. Timely reports of road closures, event cancellations, etc. are directed to twitter followers (@westchestertwp). Photos from Township events and important updates are also posted to the Township’s Facebook page (West Chester Township). West Chester’s video production resources play an important role in the delivery of information at a time when a tech savvy citizenry focuses on short, compelling and visually stimulating communication. The community access channels West Chester programs on Time Warner Cable continue to air Township meetings, school events and other community activities of interest. They will also feature timely and informative “West Ch e s te r N ow ” p r o g r a m s highlighting everything from emergency preparedness to bicycle safety to crime prevention information.

Mercy Health Center at Liberty Falls 6770 Cincinnati-Dayton Road 513.777.3600 July 2013 | THE VOICE 11 June Luncheon Recap Personality is the first word that comes to mind after an entertaining, yet informative presentation by Ernie DiMalanta, Nanette Polito and David Clegg of The Referral Institute at the West Chester Liberty Chamber Alliance June Luncheon. The Referral Institute is an organization that provides the training and tools to help business professionals gain financial success through relationship-based referral marketing. “Do unto others as they would have you do unto them, or simply stated treat other people the way that THEY want to be treated.” This is their ‘Platinum Rule’, an enhanced version of the Golden Rule. Because many people have different wants and needs, Ernie, Nanette and David informed attendees how important it is to learn how to adapt to the personality type of the person we are conversing with; a crucial tool, especially in a business setting. At the beginning of the presentation, the three personality experts had the Chamber audience fill out a behavioral inventory worksheet that was broken into four categories. Each category had an extensive list of descriptive words, and the audience was to circle each word that best described them. Then they were to tally the number of circled words in each category. The category with the highest number of circled words identified their personality type. SPEAKERS - from the Referral Institute - From left, Ernie Dimalanta and Nanette Polito with facilitator David Clegg The four personality types are: Go Getters, Promoters, Nurturers, and Examiners. Go Getters are extremely competitive by nature, determined, confident, goal oriented, and quick to make decisions. Promoters are very energetic, typically the life of the party, fun loving, creative, optimistic, always positive, and are almost always the loudest people in the room because they love to be the center of attention. Nurturers are typically a bit more reserved, almost always under control, accurate, practical, analytical, and are a lot of times looked at as perfectionists. Examiners are very calm and even keeled, patient, good listeners, adaptive, routine oriented, indecisive at times, and like to get straight to the point because they place a high value on time. After going into great detail about the four personality types, Ernie, Nanette and David explained how you can identify, in a matter of seconds, which personality type someone has based on their attire, tone of voice and body language. By figuring out what someone’s personality type is, it becomes much easier to adapt your approach to fit into their comfort zone, which increases your chances of building a relationship. Once a relationship is established, the chances of doing business with that person skyrockets. EMCEE - Drew Dinkelacker, MarketingAccelerator.com The reaction to Ernie, Nanette and David’s presentation was very positive based on the smiles of attendees! Their message was welcomed and embraced, and everyone seemed a bit more relaxed during the networking portion of the Luncheon, proving that this Luncheon was a great success!

KAREN TAYLOR M/I Homes 513.850.5489 [email protected] July 2013 | THE VOICE 15 Update on Lakota Local Schools Just as with many businesses, managing the school district’s debt and debt capacity is an integral part of our overall financial management. The school district does carry debt, though it’s not part of our operating budget. The operating budget is balanced. Yearly expenses do not exceed revenues. The debt that we carry is related to the bonds we issue. Those bonds are primarily for school building construction, with a small component of the debt related to capital equipment for the buildings. As you would expect, we are rated by the bond rating agencies, and we recently learned the disappointing news that Moody’s has lowered our rating from Aaa to Aa1. The two main reasons mentioned in the ratings report released by Moody’s were our recent lower cash balance and the lack of community support. We were very active in the bond market to finance school construction during the enrollment boom over the last 20 years. But with enrollment now trending down slightly, we don’t expect to need to build any schools anytime soon. One financial effect, though, of the lowered rating is possible higher costs on any future bond refinancings, which we do on occasion when prevailing and projected interest rates make it advisable. A ratings downgrade means less opportunity to save costs for taxpayers. Despite the disappointing news, we will continue to do everything we can to manage the school district’s finances in a responsible and prudent manner. DR. KAREN MANTIA, SUPERINTENDENT Lakota Local Schools 513.644.1166 [email protected] We work to keep 60 days of operating cash on hand. However, the average for school districts with a Aaa rating is 170 days. The community support is measured by the recent history of success or failure of tax issues at the ballot box. Part of what made the news disappointing was that only a handful – fewer than a dozen – of Ohio’s 600-plus school districts have the Aaa rating with Moody’s. It is an elite club.
