Global innovation drives new Pace dean

Cuomo charts course for economic growth

BY JOHN [email protected]

Amar Gupta brings to his new post at Pace University a vision of around-the-clock, glob-ally dispersed workplaces and a zealous goal of collaborative innovation in technology that unites academia, industry and government

and crosses traditional campus boundaries between learn-ing disciplines. Already his vision and his goal are being applied at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems on Pace campuses in Manhattan and Westchester County.

Gupta, a White Plains resident, arrived last August at Pace as dean of its computer science school from the University of Arizona, where students in the Eller College of Management voted him outstanding faculty member of the year in 2012. A

Setting New York’s economic development agenda in 2013, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in his State of the State Address said the state will build upon the work of its

2-year-old regional economic development councils and partnerships with higher education to promote technol-ogy transfer into the marketplace and innovative enterprises financed in part by a new $50 million venture capital fund.

The governor also proposed reforms to the state’s unem-

ployment insurance and workers’ compensation programs that he said will save businesses $1.3 billion while increasing jobless benefits to workers for the first time in 14 years.

In a proposal likely to be opposed by some business groups, Cuomo said he would seek a $1.50 hike in the state’s hourly minimum wage, from $7.25 to $8.75 per hour.

A divided Dobbs Ferry board of trust-ees narrowly approved an environ-mental impact report in a vote that

allows developers of Rivertowns Square to move ahead with site plans for their approxi-mately $150 million mixed-use project in the village.

The board’s 4-3 vote Jan. 8 reflected continued division among Dobbs Ferry resi-dents as to the impact of the project on the community since partners at Saber Dobbs Ferry L.L.C. and Lincoln Dobbs Ferry L.L.C. first proposed two years ago to redevelop a nearly 18-acre site adjoining Chauncey Square Shopping Center. The property, near the intersection of Lawrence Street and the Saw Mill River Parkway, formerly was the office and laboratory complex of Akzo Nobel Chemical Co., which vacated the facility in 1996. Food Emporium leased office space there until 2005, and the complex, which includes 200,000 square feet of floor space in three buildings, since then has been vacant.

“I have never seen a more rigorous review, especially for a project of this size,” said Rivertowns Square development partner Corey B. Rabin, a White Plains attorney and Realtor. His company, Dobbs Ferry Capital Partners L.L.C., in 2010 paid $5.125 million for the Akzo Nobel campus. “The review was very, very transparent,” he said.

Responding to concerns about traffic congestion and planning and design ele-ments voiced by residents and village offi-cials, the developers twice made changes to the proposed development. The modified proposal reduces total project square footage by more than 20,000 square feet, to 441,320 square feet, and eliminates 24 residential units from the initial plan. A 70,000-square-foot supermarket will be replaced by an 18,000-square-foot Mrs. Green’s Natural Market and a 33,600-square-foot movie the-ater complex that will help reduce the impact of shopping traffic.

In addition to the theater complex and gourmet grocery, the project now includes a 202-unit, approximately 277,000-square-foot luxury residential building, about 61,300 square feet of retail and restaurant space in

six buildings, a 123-room hotel and 1,222 parking spaces.

The eight-screen, 1,350-seat theater com-plex will be operated by Sundance Cinemas L.L.C., a Los Angeles-based company headed by actor and filmmaker Robert Redford. Dobbs Ferry will be the company’s first East Coast location.

Lincoln Property Co., based in Dallas, is the project’s residential developer.

Dobbs Ferry Mayor Hartley Connett before the vote said the modified project “is in the best interest of the majority of resi-dents” and “will make Dobbs Ferry a more sustainable and affordable community into the future. And I think it will make Dobbs Ferry a better, a more desirable and an even more exciting place to live.”

“It could have gone either way,” Rabin

said of the board vote, “and we were very heartened by the support that we got. Frankly, the people that spoke from the community” during the meeting’s public comment period “echoed the sentiment of the board,” said Rabin, with slightly more residents speaking in favor of the project than against it.

Rabin said he expects the site plan review to take “several months. I hope it doesn’t take as long a time as went through the (state environmental quality review) process.”

With approvals in place, “I would hope that we would be able to be in the ground by the end of the year” for an 18-month con-struction project.

“It was a very long and very fact-filled comment period by the trustees and I’m very pleased that we reached this important step,” Rabin said.

Summit/Greenfield, developer of the Chappaqua Crossing property at the former Reader’s Digest site in New

Castle, has reached a settlement with the town, dropping its federal and state lawsuits in exchange for approval of a retail zoning district.

The settlement was approved by the town board in mid-December and has Summit/Greenfield paying New Castle $1 million in fees the town said was owed.

Summit/Greenfield had sued the town in state and federal court over its handling of the Chappaqua Crossing site, claim-ing that its conduct deprived Summit/Greenfield of making the property eco-nomically viable.

The lawsuits won’t officially be dropped until the town formally approves the retail zoning district. Summit/Greenfield’s state lawsuit was dismissed, though the developer had planned to appeal. The federal lawsuit was in the discovery phase.

The town held public hearings on the matter last fall and expects to continue the hearings in February and March and allow for comments at the town board meeting.

Summit/Greenfield would develop

120,000 square feet of retail space at the site, including a full-service supermarket. The retail aspect would replace existing office space.

Chappaqua has been without a grocery store since D’Agostino on King Street closed shortly after Tropical Storm Irene. It’s being replaced by Walgreens, forcing Chappaqua residents to travel to Mount Kisco or Millwood to do their grocery shopping.

Summit/Greenfield said it has strong interest from several supermarket chains. The developer, a partnership of Summit Development L.L.C. and Greenfield Partners L.L.C., both real estate services and invest-ment companies based in South Norwalk,

Conn., said a market and retail component could generate $650,000 in property tax rev-enue, bringing the total real estate taxes from the site in excess of $3 million.

BartonPartners Architects Planners Inc., of Norristown, Pa., has designed the proposed changes to the buildings to blend with the Neo-Georgian brick of the original Reader’s Digest building. Retail space at the southern end of the property will have a complementary architectural style.

The retail center would have 600 parking spaces. Parking for the existing office space would be relocated to maintain the required 1,680 spaces for the offices.

The remainder of the space not used for retail would continue for office use. Currently Northern Westchester Hospital, Mount Kisco Medical Group, Fiber Media and WeeZee Sensory Gym are tenants.

Summit/Greenfield bought the 114-acre property for $59 million from Reader’s Digest Association in December 2004. It had initially proposed building 348 units of age-restricted condominiums and townhouses. The town eventually approved 111 units of housing, 20 of which are affordable.

Many residents have opposed the new zoning district fearing it will negatively impact downtown Chappaqua. The planning board has also expressed skepticism about the new zoning district.

Geoff Thompson, a spokesman for Summit/Greenfield, said only 3 percent of taxable properties in New Castle are com-mercial properties, putting a heavy tax bur-den on residents.

“Chappaqua Crossing is the largest tax-paying property in the town and Chappaqua Central School District,” Thompson said. “The town and school district need to take advantage of these opportunities.”

Thompson said the revised impact study should be ready within 60 days and will address how the retail zoning would impact the downtown commercial district.

When The Unexpected Happens, Our Team Is Ready To Help.

Because of leadership, Dell was an unstoppable force in the PC indus-

try from 1997 through 2004 and consistently gained mar-ket share from competitors, even during industry slumps. IBM Corp. dominated its mar-ketplace until the person in charge forgot the core concept that made the company great.

For Dell, it took the return of its founder, Michael Dell, to stop the downward spiral. For IBM, the board had to bring in Lou Gerstner to replace the existing leadership in order to get “Big Blue,” a company that started in the 19th century, back on track.

These two people knew how to grow again by finding out what their customers

wanted and how to eliminate the guesswork. This caused fewer mistakes, complaints and

returns. In Michael Dell’s words, “From the start, our entire business, from design to manufacturing and sales … was oriented

around listening to the customer, respond-ing to the customer and delivering what the customer wanted.”

Before Dell, computer companies worked through distributors and sent prod-ucts to them. The idea was that the customer would find a product “close enough.” With 800 numbers and the Internet, Dell asked the customer exactly what they wanted and then produced and shipped it. Their strategy bypassed distributors and cut cost based on mass customization. By carefully listening to and responding to what their customers were

saying, during the “technology bust” of 2001, Dell cut prices and gained the No. 1 share worldwide in PCs.

But in 2004, Michael Dell passed the reins to Kevin Rollins, who focused on revenue and forgot about the consumer. Complaints mounted as Rollins shifted support techni-cians overseas to further boost revenue and reduce cost. Michael Dell then retook the helm and refocused on the basics which had made the business great.

Dell was successful because it knew that direct customer contact was the best way to gain information and build relationships and that regular interactive communications with customers can detect new trends in expectations and demand. Under the leader-ship of Rollins, Dell lost its focus as had Big

lessons from the fall of dell and big blueBlue just a decade earlier.

When Gerstner replaced John Akers as IBM’s CEO in 1993, he found IBM’s focus had shifted from customers to a series of smaller internal competitions designed to increase efficiency and reduce cost. At the same time customer tastes were shifting from big mainframes toward networks of smaller, ever more powerful desktops.

Akers ignored the shift, believing IBM didn’t have to worry about customers’ chang-ing desires because they had such a long history of customers always coming to them for answers to their problems. He focused on protecting its basic business and ignored new competitors who were pirating their custom-ers in droves.

Gerstner didn’t assume he knew how to fix IBM but traveled tens of thousands of air miles asking customers where the company had gone wrong. IBM’s current problems came from its past success. Having done so well for so long, it was suffocating in arro-gance and had become a company fixated on selling products rather than providing superior solutions for customer problems.

Change demands that leaders and orga-nizations make a commitment to talk fre-quently with customers to learn more about their needs and use the conversations, not to pitch their products or services, but to understand customers’ preferences. Although it’s extremely important to reduce cost and increase efficiency, doing so must never jeop-ardize serving customers whose preferences are constantly changing.

Questions for discussion:• What are the new problems and prefer-

ences of our customers?• How can we have more frequent con-

versations about their needs and how to fill them?

new owners plan ‘edgy’ look for former nestle HQ

New owners of 120 Bloomingdale Road in downtown White Plains could revive a high-end retail development on the nearly 6-acre property they acquired from a spe-cial servicer at a deep discount after its previous owner defaulted on a commer-cial mortgage-backed securitized (CMBS) loan.

A partnership of Caspi Development Co. in Purchase and Faros Properties, based in New York City and Boston, paid $10.5 million for the four-story, approxi-mately 146,000-square-foot office building, the former headquarters of The Nestle Co. Austin Corporate Properties Inc. in Rye Brook represented the buyers in the recently announced deal that closed in October.

Joshua Caspi, principal at Caspi Development, said the property had been appraised at $33 million.

The building is just under 70 percent occupied, he said. Major tenants include the state Department of Labor, Byram Healthcare, Oxman Tulis Kirkpatrick Whyatt & Geiger L.L.P. and Keller Williams Realty White Plains.

Core Plus Properties L.L.C., of Stamford, Conn., in 2005 paid $27.3 million for the 120 Bloomingdale Road property. White Plains city officials in 2008 approved the Stamford developer’s plans for The Venue, a 42,000-square-foot complex of boutique retail stores and restaurants on the site.

Core Plus Properties owed about $20.4 million on the property, county records indi-cate, when it was deeded in 2010 to J.E. Robert Co. Inc., of Dallas, a special servicer of CMBS loans.

The Texas company allowed city approv-als for the development project to expire last year, Caspi said. “I don’t think they had a clue as to what the asset was. Our thought was to reinstate the approvals.”

“Our focus has always been on the build-ing itself,” Caspi added. He said the partners will spend “upwards of $1.5 million” in capi-tal improvements that will “exponentially increase the curb appeal to a level that I don’t think White Plains has seen for this kind of office product.”

They have hired Gallin Beeler Design Studio in Tarrytown to design a new facade for the 1950s-era building along with parking lot improvements and some interior changes. “We’re going to reface it with something hot and give it a whole new edge,” Caspi said.

The retail development “could be a nice additional upside if it happens. I think there will be a market for it,” he said.

The partnership, 120 Bloomingdale Road L.L.C., took out a $6.25 million mort-gage with New York Community Bank.

long island developercloses on armonk site

The Engel Burman Group, the Garden City-based developer of assisted living facilities for seniors, has closed on its $5.5 million purchase of 90 Business Park Drive in Armonk from an affiliate of Lashins Development Corp.

Engel Burman plans this year to build a 115,000-square-foot Bristal assisted living complex on the approximately 6-acre site in the Armonk Business Park. The approxi-mately $38 million project will be the compa-ny’s second Bristal-branded development in Westchester. The 150,000-square-foot Bristal at White Plains opened in December in the former St. Agnes Hospital at 305 North St.

GHP inks 14 deals at two properties

GHP Office Realty L.L.C. has signed seven tenants to leases totaling 30,729 square feet at its 4 W. Red Oak Lane headquarters building in Harrison.

HOP Energy, a fuel oil delivery and heating and air conditioning sales and ser-vice company, signed a 10-year lease for 13,516 square feet of office space, expand-ing its headquarters by 15 percent in the 135,000-square-foot, Class A building.

Other tenants renewing leases were Target Corp., for 3,619 square feet for its regional sales office, and engineering consul-tants William F. Cosulich Associates P.C., for 4,096 square feet. Concorde Temporary Staffing expanded its space at 4 W. Red Oak Lane to 3,156 square feet.

Absorbing vacant space were Welcome Home Brands, which relocated from Purchase to 2,000 square feet in the Platinum Mile office building, and Pollock and Maguire L.L.P., which relocated its law office from 1056 Corporate Park Drive in Harrison to a 3,067-square-foot space.

GHP principals said the building is 96 percent leased.

GHP brokers also closed on seven lease deals totaling 6,602 square feet of office space at 297 Knollwood Road, a five-sto-ry, 35,000-square-foot office building in Greenburgh. The property is fully occupied.

native of India, the entrepreneurial-minded professor and scientist also has had a 25-year association with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was found-ing co-director of the Productivity from Information Technology Initiative (PROFIT) at the Sloan School of Management. At MIT’s International Financial Services Research Center, he developed a patented check pro-cessing technology that proved to be years ahead of the banking industry’s adoption of online check image processing.

At the start of a new year and the spring semester at Pace, Gupta recently outlined his vision for and his work in emerging innova-tive applications of information technology to a group of Pace alumni, staff and business leaders in Manhattan. The dean was intro-duced by Pace University President Stephen J. Freidman, who called Gupta “the right man for the right job at this point in history.”

With his interdisciplinary approach to teaching students to master the use of tech-nology in their respective fields, “I know he is going to have a major impact on the

Seidenberg School and in many ways the whole university,” Freidman said.

At Arizona and MIT, Gupta developed what he calls the “24-hour knowledge fac-tory,” which involves teams working in eight-hour shifts on three continents to hand off and produce knowledge-based work such as software code. Gupta said he first saw its potential use in the global economy as a con-sultant to IBM Corp. on a one-year project that involved two IBM software development teams – one working at one location in the U.S. and another split between India and the U.S. As with his three-pronged global concept, the IBM teams were directed by one manager.

“The results were very surprising,” he said. Though the teams filed identical soft-ware problem reports, the team distributed between two continents provided “far supe-rior” documentation of problems and com-pleted the work faster, he said.

Gupta said the 24-hour global factory technology will be useful in a number of other knowledge-based industries, including banking and finance, law, health care, educa-tion and product design.

With teams working only day shifts before passing off the work to a team in

another time zone, health risks linked to graveyard shift work could be avoided, said Gupta, citing recent studies by the World Health Organization and American Cancer Society that linked night work to breast and prostate cancer.

Gupta also sees great opportunity in the use of telecommunications technologies to deliver health care services, especially in medically underserved rural areas. But those technology-driven innovations in health care in the U.S. face significant challenges from doctors protecting their traditional practices, states’ physician licensing regulations when dispensing prescriptions online and the costs and legal risks of navigating state privacy laws that restrict the dissemination of patient health records.

“One of the biggest impediments to tele-medicine is the absence of a single national electronic health record,” Gupta said. “It’s not wise to have information on computers that don’t speak to each other.”

“I frankly believe telehealth and telemed-icine will be the next trillion-dollar industry and we are missing an opportunity to do it.”

“The more impediments we put in inno-vation, the more we are allowing others to compete with us” in the global economy.

At Pace, Gupta said he wants to start “a dialogue with industries to see what kind of students we should be producing to be more useful to the market” in areas such as telemedicine, cybersecurity, finance and insurance.

Applying new technologies developed and taught at the Seidenberg school, “We want to work with real-life companies on real-life problems,” he said.

will be selected as “hot spots,” tax-free zones where inventors and entrepreneurs will receive support to grow their busi-nesses.

Innovation NY Network: To break down barriers to commercialization, the network will build collaboration among academics, venture capitalists, business leaders, patent lawyers and other profes-sionals and entrepreneurs.

Innovation Venture Capital Fund: A $50 million venture capital fund will pro-vide incentives for successful startups to stay and grow in New York.

To make New York a national leader in building a clean tech economy program, Cuomo announced these steps:

NY Green Bank: The $1 billion fund will leverage public dollars with private sector matches to spur the clean economy.

Extend NY-Sun Solar Jobs: The pro-gram will be expanded to $150 million annually for 10 years to increase solar panel installations for homes and businesses.

Charge NY Program: The program will invest in an electric car network to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by installing a statewide network of charging stations and providing tax credits to build network infrastructure.

Cabinet-Level Energy Czar: Richard Kauffman, a senior adviser to U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, will coor-

dinate the state’s clean tech agenda and oversee the state government’s energy portfolio.

To retool New York’s workforce, Cuomo proposed steps to “reimagine” the SUNY and CUNY community col-leges to ensure the state’s job training programs produce the trained personnel that businesses need. His proposed Next Generation Job Linkage Program will con-nect community colleges with employers to identify the job, define the skill and provide the training for it. The state will offer performance pay by funding colleges based on student job placement.

To boost economic development upstate, the governor unveiled plans for Market NY, a new multifaceted marketing plan. It includes:

Taste-NY: The initiative will promote New York products, including creating duty-free “Taste-NY” stores across the state to market products grown and pro-duced here.

Advertising Competition: A new $5 million advertising competition for the best regional marketing plans will be an incentive for counties to work together to forge “regional synergies.”

The Adirondack Challenge: Noting that New York has some of the best white-water rafting in the nation, Cuomo pro-posed a national whitewater rafting com-petition in the North Country.

Destination Resorts and Casino Gaming: To increase upstate tourism, up to three casinos would be built in upstate

communities. Cuomo proposed to allo-cate 90 percent of casino gaming revenue for education and 10 percent for munici-pal property tax relief.

The casino proposal will require a voter referendum.

“New York is on its way, coming back stronger than ever before, rising to meet some of the biggest challenges in our his-tory, remaining as a progressive beacon of

light to the rest of the nation, and stand-ing out as a model of effective govern-ment,” Cuomo said in his address. “Gone are the anti-business, obstructionist, tax capital, and gridlock mentalities, replaced with an entrepreneurial government that collaboratively works together for the people and partners with the private sec-tor to create jobs and get the economy back on track.”

I don’t feel like I’m very good at quantifying goals, or following

through with people on those that I’ve set – to get

their buy-in or to know they’re delivering. How can you help me get a good start to the new year?THOuGHTS OF THE DAy: Goals are like pick-ing a destination on a roadmap. Specifics are essential. To increase buy-in, ask people to create their goals. Make sure the goals add up. Set up visible reporting systems to keep goals present.

The clearer everyone is about where your organization is headed, the more likely they can support that vision. Set a destination. Then give your organization purpose by working steadily towards it.

Consider the roadmap analogy. Let’s say you set a goal to travel from New York to California next year. Compare that to a dec-laration that you’re going to pick the fastest, shortest route and means of transportation to get you from Buffalo to San Diego, so that you arrive by 3 p.m. on Jan. 10.

The former could lead someone to think you’re planning a leisurely drive across the great Midwest, ending somewhere on the West Coast south of Oregon anytime in the coming year. The latter goal puts you on a direct flight, landing in the southernmost major city in the continental United States at or before a specific time and date.

Many owners start and end with declar-ing they intend to pursue a growth strategy in the upcoming year. Unfortunately that statement leaves a lot of room for interpre-tation. What growth? More revenue? More people? More customers – which ones? More profits? More equipment? More expenses? What is it that is supposed to grow? By when?

Make sure everyone recognizes what

ask andiBy AnDI GRAy

roadmap your goalsyou expect the organization to tackle in the upcoming year. For example, if you’re think-ing about revenue growth, you might not be happy if the company sold only $1 more than last year. But you’d be thrilled if it sold twice as much as last year – although you’re doubtful that would happen. So somewhere between $1 more and twice as much as last year is the right answer. Narrow the gap.

Add to buy-in by getting people in the orga-nization involved in setting goals. Ask managers and employees what they want to accomplish. Challenge them to do better, achieve more and learn about new things. Ask for specifics about what would cause them to say they had a great year.

As individuals and departments work on goal setting, make sure things add up. Will the growth goals of the sales department plus the retention goals from customer service hit the company’s overall revenue target? Will operations improvements plus human resource training plans lead to higher profit ratios? Will finance’s improved ability to report on results, matched with marketing’s ramped up efforts in lead generation insure that your company knows if it’s on track with new business development?

If there are areas of shortfall, pull people in and explain the problem. Ask them to close the gap. Let them debate and propose solutions. Working out the details of how to hit the overall goals will help everyone get clear on what needs to happen.

Goals have limited value without a reporting system. Regular meetings, reports that track facts and analysis of key indicators are all essential. Many business owners lose out on their goals because they lack a routine for following through.

Set up weekly, monthly and quarterly meetings, with specific agenda, attendance list and reporting assignments. Ask people who are responsible for departmental goals to meet with their staff regularly and then meet with you to provide updates.

If there are problems, don’t let things slide. Challenge everyone to demonstrate progress towards their goals. Post reports where they are visible. The more people can see, the more they can get involved.

Since 2008, governments at a munici-pal and county level in the Hudson Valley and across the state have had to

deal with an economic recession, a decline in mortgage tax revenue, declining sales tax revenue, a tax cap on budgets and ris-ing pension and health care costs. And it’s not over yet.

State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli recently released his annual report on local governments and expressed concern about New York municipalities’ ability to meet their respective fiscal challenges.

According to DiNapoli, more than 100 local governments do not have enough cash on hand to pay even 75 percent of their current liabilities and almost 300 ended fiscal years 2010 and/or 2011 in a deficit. Twenty-seven local governments have not only drained their fund balances, but spent more than they had in them.

“Years of receding, stagnant and painfully slow economic growth have led local govern-ments to cut vital services and tap their rainy day funds to balance budgets,” DiNapoli said in his report. “(This) is a practice that is not sustainable in the long term.”

The comptroller’s office will institute an early warning monitoring system to identify local governments experiencing budgetary issues so that actions can be taken before a crisis develops.

“I recognize that these are volatile fiscal times for New York’s local governments,” DiNapoli said. “The Office of the State Comptroller is committed to helping you get through these challenges.”

In the midst of a recession and the tax cap, municipalities have been judiciously holding their purse strings. Between 2010 and 2011, expenditures grew by less than 1 percent, while revenues decreased by 0.5 percent. In 2008, when the recession began, revenues were immediately cut in half and state aid also substantially dropped.

At the county level, health, cultural and recreational programs have been cut by $265 million statewide, while cities have cut public safety and garbage collection by $76.2 mil-lion. Towns and villages have cut garbage collection, as well as cultural and recreation programs by $77 million.

Cutting services have replaced raising taxes, due to the 2 percent tax cap on the tax levy signed into law in 2010 and general out-cry over taxation and spending. Property tax increases averaged 2.9 percent between 2011 and 2012, down from 7.7 percent between 2002 and 2003.

Sales taxes increased 3.9 percent year to year in 2012, though sales tax increases aver-aged 5.1 percent before the recession.

Report: Municipalities struggling to meet fiscal demandsMortgage recording tax revenues con-

tinue to decline, though the decline is start-ing to slow as the housing market begins to rebound. Since 2005, when mortgage record-ing taxes peaked, governments have lost $320 million annually. Towns collected $249 mil-lion less in 2011 than in 2005.

To fill budget gaps without raising taxes, local governments have been dipping into their fund balances. Fund balances are down 28 percent from their peak in 2006. While municipalities routinely take money from fund balances, taking too much can cause bond ratings to drop and create fiscal insta-

bility down the road. DiNapoli noted that while the economic

outlook appears to be improving, local gov-ernments may still be in trouble. At the height of the recession, fund balances and money from the stimulus package helped keep municipalities afloat.

“Local governments in most of New York state are struggling with the effects of several years of structural budget imbalance,” DiNapoli said.

Charles Strome, the city manager of New Rochelle, said a lot of DiNapoli’s report was old news and that it didn’t address that state

mandates are hurting governments the most.“He’s not telling us anything we don’t

already know or do,” Strome said. “I find it tough to take. The level of government that is causing us the most fiscal stress is the one that tells us we’re in fiscal stress. If only they would come up with solutions.”

Strome said that further reductions in services will be needed if the state does not get serious mandate relief. During the 2012 budget process, the tax cap only allowed the city to raise $1.2 million in revenue, while health and pension costs totaled $2.8 million.

AccOuNtiNGSPECIAL REPORT

BY SAM [email protected]

For accountants and small busi-nesses, 2012

was a year of uncer-tainty with hopes that 2013 will have a light at the end of a long tunnel.

Small businesses, already grappling with the prolonged economic downturn, first waited out a presidential election that would determine the fate of the Affordable Care Act. The re-election of President Barack Obama gave businesses little breathing room as they waited with bated breath to see if Congress would strike a deal to avoid going over the fiscal cliff.

“Without over-exaggerating, this was probably the most unpredictable year it could be for small businesses,” said Mike Durant, director of the New York chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB). “You can’t really pin it all on one thing.”

Durant also said that Hurricane Sandy further impacted small businesses. In 2013, businesses will also have to adjust their busi-ness models to determine how further imple-mentation of the Affordable Care Act will affect them.

“You have to be active in groups and organizations and pay attention to make sure you have the best available informa-tion to make an informed decision,” said Durant. “Public policy and the economy are extremely tough to get a read on. We hope the economy picks up and that the ideologi-cal gridlock flushes itself out.”

Durant said that in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature have to look at ways that New York can be more busi-ness friendly. The NFIB is against New York raising the minimum wage.

“We already have the highest cost of doing business with mandates,” Durant said. “Increasing costs is not the route to take. We need regulatory reform and work-ers comp reform. The state needs to look in the mirror; we’ve been cutting off our nose

to spite our face.”Bernadette Schopfer, director of taxa-

tion for White Plains-based Maier Markey & Justic L.L.P., said the fiscal cliff negotiations made for a tense holiday season for accoun-tants.

The Jan. 1 deal also gives businesses little time to plan, and Schopfer blamed

Washington for waiting until the last minute.“It’s one thing to plan and it’s another

thing to scramble if you misunderstood or lost track of time,” said Schopfer. “But we knew about the fiscal cliff for a long time, we knew everything was going to hit, but no one paid attention to try and change this until the last minute. They made it a scramble.”

Schopfer said the deal made in Washington, D.C. means that things will not be as harsh as feared and most tax rates and deductions will remain the same. The government also approved a one-year patch for the Alternative Minimum Tax to adjust for inflation and kept Section 179, which allows small businesses to buy equipment and deduct the cost the year they buy it.

“There’s a lot of moving parts,” she said. “I’m not completely well versed because it just happened this week. … You always have to be careful of unintended consequenc-es. Businesses and people have to be well informed and proactive.”

According to Schopfer, from an account-ing standpoint, 2012 was a very frustrating year.

“We didn’t know if things were going to change,” Schopfer said. “We didn’t know if rates were going to be higher or stay the same. It was hard to tell a client whether to accelerate or defer their income.”

All the uncertainty made it difficult for Schopfer and other accountants to assist with tax planning and develop a tax strategy.

“It made it impossible to evaluate things,” she said. “You can’t predict when you don’t know what the rates are going to be. You didn’t know what changes they were going to make or what they were going to undo.”

Schopfer said that while things are stable, the situation has been resolved and now they can better advise clients.

“It didn’t help with us how to handle year-end tax planning,” she said. “They need-ed to settle it in the fall. You need to give people the ability to execute transactions. We just couldn’t do anything.”

Schopfer said businesses and people have to remember that taxes are their own per-sonal responsibility and to make sure they stay on top of the rules, saying that it’s their signature on the tax return. She said that the IRS website is a great source for information.

“It’s not a good signature if you don’t know the rules,” she said. “You can’t make a statement without knowing what you’re doing. It’s not about being misled by an accountant or tax preparer. You are supposed to pay the smallest amount you are obligated to pay. It’s not extra patriotic if you pay too much.”

PARTICIPATING BROKERS

BY HOWARD KLEiN

A widely discussed subject over the last several months has been the fis-cal cliff, which would have imposed

automatic across-the-board government spending cuts and dramatic tax changes affecting individuals, businesses and estates. The extent of these changes would have resulted in unprecedented tax increases for most taxpayers.

On Jan. 1, Congress passed HR 8, the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which will prevent many of the tax increases that were scheduled to go into effect this year while at the same time retaining many of the sched-uled tax breaks that were set to expire. The law does raise income taxes for those consid-ered high-income individuals while slightly raising estate and gift tax rates.

Some key provisions of the new law include:

Income tax rates: For tax years begin-ning after 2012, the income tax rates for individuals will stay as they were in 2012, but with a new 39.6 percent rate applying to joint filers and surviving spouses with incomes above $450,000, $425,000 for heads of household, $400,000 for single filers, and $225,000 for married taxpayers filing sepa-rately. These dollar amounts are inflation-adjusted for tax years after 2013.

Capital gains and dividends: For tax years beginning after 2012, the top rate for long-term capital gains and qualified dividends will rise to 20 percent (up from 15 percent) for married taxpayers with incomes exceeding $450,000 ($400,000 for single tax-payers). Taxpayers whose income is below those thresholds will be eligible for the 15 percent rate, while certain lower-income taxpayers will be eligible for a zero percent tax rate. In addition to the capital gains changes, there is a new 3.8 percent surtax on investment-type income and gains for higher income tax payers.

Personal exemptions: For tax years beginning after 2012, the Personal Exemption Phaseout, which had previously been suspended, is reinstated with a start-ing threshold for those making $300,000 for joint filers and surviving spouses, $275,000 for heads of household, $250,000 for single filers, and $150,000 for married taxpayers filing separately.

Itemized deductions: For higher income taxpayers, the total amount of item-ized deductions may be limited.

Estate and gift taxes: The law prevents

steep increases in estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes that were slated to be effective for individuals after 2012 by retaining the exemption level at $5,000,000 (as indexed for inflation). However, the law also increases the rates on these taxes from 35 percent to 40 percent. The law contin-ues the portability feature that allows the estate of the first spouse to die to transfer his or her unused exclusion to the surviving spouse. The annual gift tax exclusion has been increased to $14,000.

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): The law also provides alternative minimum tax relief. Prior to the law, the individual AMT exemption amounts for 2012 were to have been $33,750 for unmarried taxpayers, $45,000 for joint filers and surviving spous-es, and $22,500 for married persons fil-ing separately. Retroactively effective for tax years beginning after 2011, the law increases these exemption amounts to $50,600 for unmarried taxpayers, $78,750 for joint fil-ers and $39,375 for married persons filing separately. In addition, for tax years begin-ning after 2012, it indexes these exemption amounts for inflation.

Social Security Payroll Tax Cut: The new law allows the 2 percent cut in payroll taxes that was enacted two years ago to lapse. Beginning in 2013, employees’ payroll social security withholding will increase from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent.

Several business credits have also been extended. Some of these include:

• The research credit: modified and retroactively extended for two years through 2013.

• The new markets tax credit: ret-roactively extended for two years through 2013.

• Accelerated “bonus” depreciation: extended for one year.

The above list is by no means an entire description of all the changes in tax provi-sions which will be affected by the new law. Each taxpayer needs to make a careful analy-sis in planning for 2013 and beyond.

cPa society opposes Martin act expansion

The New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA) is oppos-ing the state’s possible expansion of the Martin Act, which allows the state attor-ney general great leverage to fight finan-cial fraud.

The state Senate and Assembly pro-posed bills in the 2012 legislation ses-sion that would require the state attorney general to investigate financial entities if a public pension fund trustee alleges that a practice is fraudulent under the Martin Act and allegedly caused damage to the fund that the trustee serves.

The NYSSCPA opposes the legislation, saying that existing law already grants greater authority to the attorney general than in any other state, and that it would

adversely affect the state’s business climate.The bills did not pass, though

NYSSCPA said it fears the bills being introduced again in the 2013 session.

state granting tax breaks for solar purchases

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance announced it is offering tax breaks for installing solar ener-gy equipment in commercial buildings.

A bill passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will waive the state’s 4 percent sales tax on the sale or installation of commercial solar energy systems equipment. The exemp-tion also applies to the sales and use tax imposed in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District, which consists of New York City and Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester counties.

The law took effect Jan 1.Residential solar energy systems

equipment gained a similar tax break in 2005.

That’s what you can expect from McGladrey. That’s the power of being understood.

Yep. Got it.

Power comes from being understood.SM

Only a few days into 2013 and deciding whether to view the year optimis-tically or pessimistically is already

a challenge. As Westchester County’s “chief economist,” it is nearly impossible to escape a meeting or media interview without some-one asking for my sunny (or dour) economic predictions for the year.

Just like a horse track stable boy, my prognostic power is more about firsthand

knowledge, rather than some deep, scien-tific analysis. Statistics do not win races; it is the horses – and the jockeys atop them – who cross the finish line. Often, in spite of negative data, entrepreneurs forge ahead, win races and we are a better nation for it.

This year, the conditions on the Westchester County track remain muddy, and so here are a few observations fresh out of the gate:

• Given the complexities of decipher-

ing impacts from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare), and the potential for more tinkering on federal tax codes, overall hir-ing will remain sluggish and uneven for the foreseeable future – except among the legal, accounting, insurance and financial firms that individuals and businesses will hire to help move the woefully unprepared through this maze of new regulations.

Handicapping the new year’s economic race• Forget the “fiscal cliff” battle, the real

concern for companies from this point for-ward remains going “over 50,” the magic number of employees small business own-ers dread reaching because of the new fed-eral health insurance requirements. In this region, the service and hospitality industries have kept hiring aloft for the past several years; however, this one issue may stunt their growth and/or cause inflation as businesses look to offset these new costs.

• The regional health care industry will accelerate its position as the leading employer for salaried workers and for entrepreneurial opportunities. We are already seeing a mind-boggling explosion in the construction of new health care facilities, expansion of existing locations, the launch of new home health care providers, adaptive reuse of older commer-cial properties converting to medical offices, the rapid growth of regional private health care providers and potential mergers of other organizations. If your livelihood or business is not somehow connected to health care now, it will be in some capacity over the next decade.

• Westchester County will continue its position as the epicenter of the NY BioHud Valley life sciences cluster with more than 30 biotechnology companies in Westchester alone, including two of the largest in the world, Regeneron and Acorda Therapeutics. These firms are rapidly expanding by adding employees just to keep up with the demand. That’s great for the region, as every new scien-tist adds five other jobs to the local economy – three professionals and two nonprofessionals.

• Virtual and flexible workspaces are growing throughout the county, allowing more home-based business owners to move out of their spare bedrooms and into collab-orative office environments – at least for a day or two a week. In these spaces, you will find hedge fund managers and freelancers shar-ing ideas over a cup of coffee. Think of these offices as entrepreneurial business incubators without government funding. These work settings are altering the way in which we deliver products and services to these firms. That sounds challenging, but really, it is the sound of opportunity knocking.

Ultimately, Westchester County always succeeds, because no matter what the condi-tions on the ground, we have the winning tal-ent on the track. That’s what makes horse rac-ing, and what make Westchester County the best place for businesses to grow and prosper.

state to lighten load for solarcity job-training costs A solar energy services company in Elmsford that entered the metropolitan New York market in 2012 will be the first business in Westchester County this year to benefit from a state program that partially reim-burses employers for the cost of training new employees.

SolarCity Corp., a solar panel manu-facturer and installer headquartered in San Mateo, Calif., was the first to apply to the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Investment Board for the state’s federally funded On the Job Training program, County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced. He said the county will reimburse the company for at least half of the $160,000 it will spend to hire 40 employees over the next few weeks.

SolarCity last year leased an approxi-mately 32,500-square-foot office and ware-house building at 203 Ridgewood Drive in Elmsford for use as its East Coast operations and training center.

Funded through a $6.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, the state program allows employers to receive subsidies for up to six months for hiring and training new full-time employees. The subsidies range from 50 to 90 percent of costs based on the size of the business.

John Andrews, regional recruiter at SolarCity, in a press release said the grant will be crucial to the company as it expands and “a significant boost to help solidify our local operations.”

For additional information on this and similar programs, businesses may contact either Bob Fois at (914) 995-4976, Milton David at (914) 995-8631 or Walter Recher at (914) 761-7111, ext. 324. Employers also can apply online at westchesterputnamonestop.com.

Participating employers must hire train-ees through a One-Stop Employment Center.

oates leaves Hvedc to join venture fund

Michael Oates, president and CEO of New Windsor-based Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC), is resigning effective Feb. 4.

Oates, who ran HVEDC for more than three years, will become CEO of Garrison-based Hudson River Ventures L.L.C., a busi-ness investment fund focused on the Hudson Valley and founded by Sean Eldridge.

“Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation has been in excellent hands ... with Mike Oates at the helm and we will miss his energy and passion for economic

development in the Hudson Valley,” HVEDC Chairman Steven V. Lant said in a statement. “He has been an innovator in economic development for this region. We are thankful for his service to our organization.”

HVEDC is conducting a search for Oates’ replacement.

“I want to thank Steve and the board for giving me such a great opportunity to work with such a first-rate organization. I am very confident that HVEDC will continue its tre-mendous growth,” Oates said in a statement. “HVEDC has very active board members and a talented staff that will maintain its mis-sion of growth and service to the community of the Hudson Valley.”

HVEDC, a private nonprofit partner-ship, markets and advocates for the seven-county Hudson Valley region as a prime business location to company executives and real estate brokers.

Pilot approved for proposed Middletown medical collegeThe Middletown Industrial Development Agency approved a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement for a planned medical college run by Touro College at the closed Horton Hospital complex.

Touro College owns and operates New York Medical College, a 1,660-student facility in Valhalla, with other colleges in New York City and Long Island. Touro, a Jewish-sponsored independent college, took over New York Medical College from the Archdiocese of New York in 2009.

The Danza Leser Group, which owns the Middletown property, would pay no property taxes in 2014, and pay $59,379 in property taxes in 2015. Payments would go up $60,000 a year to $831,300 in 2028, before being taxed at full assessed value.

Both sides are reviewing the PILOT. The Danza Group would convert the hospital, which closed in 2011, into an osteopathic medical school.

Prior to Danza Leser buying the property, the property was tax exempt.

state cuts insurance increase requests

The state Department of Financial Services (DFS) announced it has cut health premium rate increases requested by insurance com-panies.

The agency’s action is expected to save New Yorkers more than $500 million on their health insurance premiums. Insurers requested rate increases on average of 12.4 percent, but the DFS cut the average increase to 7.5 percent. The policies impact about 2.3 million New Yorkers.

A 2-year-old law gives the DFS the power to review rate requests. Insurers are required to spend 82 cents of every premium dollar on health care services.

“We have made progress in holding back rates, but we recognize that much more

needs to be done,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement.

Rates for small groups will increase 9.59 percent, compared with the 15.77 percent hike that health insurers proposed. This will impact 1.2 million people.

Aetna premiums, covering 40,417 people, will increase of 7.38 percent, down from 11.04 percent that the insurer proposed. Empire plans, covering 77,984 people, will increase 7.47 percent, down from 7.63 per-cent.

Oxford plans, covering 640,314 people, will see an increase of 10.05 percent, down from 19.96 percent. Rates at UnitedHealthcare Insurance Co. of New York, which covers 254,847 people, will increase of 2.77 percent, down from 3.24 percent.

banks reach $8.5 billion foreclosure deal

Ten of the country’s largest mortgage ser-vicers have agreed to pay a combined $8.5 billion over mortgage loan servicing and fore-closure processing abuse claims, according to the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Separately, Bank of America Corp. announced it had reached a $10 billion settle-ment with Fannie Mae to settle claims con-cerning troubled mortgages issued primarily by the bank’s Countrywide Financial unit.

Mortgage lenders Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo will pay a combined $3.3 bil-lion in direct payments to eligible borrowers and $5.2 billion in other assistance, such as loan modifications and forgiveness of defi-ciency judgments.

The settlement stems from enforcement actions taken in April 2011 by the Fed, the OCC and the Office of Thrift Supervision, and applies to borrowers whose homes were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010. Eligible borrowers are expected to receive compen-sation ranging from hundreds of dollars to $125,000, depending on the type of pos-sible servicer error, according to a statement released by the Fed.

In the separate settlement agreement reached by Bank of America and Fannie Mae, the Charlotte-based bank will pay Fannie Mae $3.6 billion and will spend an additional $6.75 billion to buy back mortgages from Fannie Mae at a discounted rate compared with their original value.

regeneron raises red flag over mini-tender offer

Officers at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Greenburgh have cautioned shareholders not to respond to an unsolicited mini-tender offer by a Canadian firm well known in the securities industry for the practice of buy-ing stock at discount prices from unwitting investors while avoiding regulators’ scrutiny.

TRC Capital Corp. in Toronto on Dec.

28 offered to buy up to 1 million shares, or slightly more than 1 percent of outstanding Regeneron common stock, at a price about 4.5 percent below the last closing price of the stock before the offer was made. The $161.25 per-share offer was a nearly 10.8 percent discount to the price of the biotechnology company’s common stock Jan. 3.

“Regeneron does not endorse TRC’s offer and recommends that shareholders do not tender their shares in response to the offer because it is a so-called ‘mini-tender’ offer at a price below the current market price for Regeneron shares and is subject to numer-ous conditions,” the company said in a Jan. 4 press release.

Regeneron, the state’s largest biotech employer, urged shareholders considering the offer to obtain current market quotations for their shares, review the conditions to the offer, consult with their broker or financial adviser and “exercise caution.”

Mini-tender offers seek to acquire less than 5 percent of a company’s outstand-ing shares and thereby avoid many disclo-sure and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for larger tender offers. The SEC on its website has cautioned investors that “some bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.”

regeneron gets energy fundsThe New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will provide $765,000 to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. for energy efficiency projects expected to save the biotechnology company $500,000 in annual energy costs.

NYSERDA’s money allows Regeneron to implement measures such as demand control ventilation, occupancy sensors and high-efficiency rooftop units. The agency esti-mated that Regeneron would save 1.2 million kilowatt hours or the equivalent of electricity consumed by 180 single-family homes.

LEGAL SERVICES OF THE HUDSON VALLEY

For 45 years, Legal Services of the Hudson Valley (LSHV) has been provid-ing free high quality noncriminal legal services to

low-income families and individuals. The dedicated staff of more than 85 lawyers, advocates, administrators and support staff - along with more than 900 private attorney volunteers – advances our credo: Protecting Rights, Promoting Justice.

With offices in White Plains, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Kingston, New-burgh, New City and Poughkeepsie, the attorneys have helped more than 150,000 clients –– more than 16,000 last year alone. Many people think that the right to an attorney is automatic but the fact is attorneys are not guaranteed for most noncriminal matters. That is why LSVH exists, to step in and provide essential legal assistance to those who cannot afford an attorney. A few of the services, which LSHV handles are housing, elder law, protection and advocacy for the disabled and children’s advocacy. The overarching goal is to relieve households of the stress of legal issues that can lead to the break-up of a family, homelessness and the undermining of our communities. Intact families build stronger communities –– intact families are good for kids!

This year LSHV has added new services for two key target populations. These include a special veterans’ unit to help those men and women – often Wounded Warriors – who have served our country but now at home face legal issues that require the assistance of an attorney. And the second new division is targeted to community college students at risk of dropping out. When students are relieved of this kind of stress, (emancipation, eviction prevention, consumer debt resolution, etc.) they are more likely to remain in school, get an education and achieve a college degree and ultimately find greater employment opportunities.

These are just some of the services provided by Legal Services of the Hudson Valley. To find more, please visit www.lshv.org or call (914) 949-1305 for more information.

WHY GIVE QUOTE:“As an attorney I am keenly aware of the need of low-income and indigent families and individuals in our community to have access to our legal system for civil matters. The attorneys and staff at Legal Services of the Hudson Valley work tirelessly to ensure these folks have the access they need for their urgent legal needs. I am proud to partner with Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and to work toward equal access to justice for all resi-dents of our community.”

YOUR SOURCE FOR UPCOMING WESTCHESTER NOT-FOR-PROFIT EVENTSPLANNING AHEAD

When your not-for-profit positions itself in the market for 2013, will it focus on past proven successes or future opportunities?

Recent studies have indicated that people gravitate toward potential success more often than they look toward past proven statistical tri-umphs. For example, a potential donor may be more interested in making a gift toward a not-for-profit that creates a vision of what can be done with donations rather than one that relies on pointing out past achievements from simi-lar donors.

How might your organization learn from this study and position itself for success in 2013? Talk about where you are going. What are the possibilities, opportunities and targets you will work hard to achieve in the coming year. Create a compelling vision for the future and find out who wants to get on board.

The strong belief in community inclu-

sion allows Ability Beyond Disability to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. It offers every person served choices in how to live, work and participate in his or her community.

PLANNING AHEAD

“On Monday Oct. 29, Sandy took a sharp mid-day turn toward the coast of New Jersey and by 8 p.m., Sandy was classified as a post tropical

nor’easter. This storm impacted the lives of so many people and organizations. Organizations, both for profit and nonprofit, and individuals alike, need to know the facts about storm pre-paredness and how you can have peace of mind in unexpected dif-ficult times. Read more about how we can better prepare for similar disasters on my blog at www.nonprofitguard.com.”

NonProfit Guard TIP OF THE MONTH

LEGAL SERVICES OF THE HUDSON VALLEY

For 45 years, Legal Services of the Hudson Valley (LSHV) has been provid-ing free high quality noncriminal legal services to

low-income families and individuals. The dedicated staff of more than 85 lawyers, advocates, administrators and support staff - along with more than 900 private attorney volunteers – advances our credo: Protecting Rights, Promoting Justice.

With offices in White Plains, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Kingston, New-burgh, New City and Poughkeepsie, the attorneys have helped more than 150,000 clients –– more than 16,000 last year alone. Many people think that the right to an attorney is automatic but the fact is attorneys are not guaranteed for most noncriminal matters. That is why LSVH exists, to step in and provide essential legal assistance to those who cannot afford an attorney. A few of the services, which LSHV handles are housing, elder law, protection and advocacy for the disabled and children’s advocacy. The overarching goal is to relieve households of the stress of legal issues that can lead to the break-up of a family, homelessness and the undermining of our communities. Intact families build stronger communities –– intact families are good for kids!

This year LSHV has added new services for two key target populations. These include a special veterans’ unit to help those men and women – often Wounded Warriors – who have served our country but now at home face legal issues that require the assistance of an attorney. And the second new division is targeted to community college students at risk of dropping out. When students are relieved of this kind of stress, (emancipation, eviction prevention, consumer debt resolution, etc.) they are more likely to remain in school, get an education and achieve a college degree and ultimately find greater employment opportunities.

These are just some of the services provided by Legal Services of the Hudson Valley. To find more, please visit www.lshv.org or call (914) 949-1305 for more information.

WHY GIVE QUOTE:“As an attorney I am keenly aware of the need of low-income and indigent families and individuals in our community to have access to our legal system for civil matters. The attorneys and staff at Legal Services of the Hudson Valley work tirelessly to ensure these folks have the access they need for their urgent legal needs. I am proud to partner with Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and to work toward equal access to justice for all resi-dents of our community.”

“While we are sad to no longer have our offices at the Mills House where our founder Louis V. Mills was born and lived for many years, we see our move to Sugar Loaf as a good opportunity to have, as we grow, larger office space, proxim-ity to other wonderful nonprofits, as well as a chance to be surrounded by a beautiful piece of land, which is what the land trust is all about,” said Marlena Lange, president of the Orange County Land Trust.

Within two days after Hurricane Sandy hit, I received

a Facebook link from Causes asking for a dona-tion. Within a week after the horrific killings at Newtown, I was asked to sign a petition for gun control legislation that already had more than 100,000 signatures. As of the writing of this article, more than 2.5 million people have signed the Sandy Hook Elementary School Global Sympathy Card.

While there are still some naysay-ers concerning the effectiveness of social media marketing, unsurprisingly, they become quiet when discussing the effec-tiveness of social media and social causes. I’m not sure what the difference is since the marketing of social causes and corporate services and products have many simi-larities, particularly their heavy reliance on word-of-mouth and emotional marketing.

One of the strengths of social media is its ability to elicit emotion. In fact, many of the most successful online marketing campaigns are designed to elicit emotion. Titles like “How to Engage Fans on …” and “Tonight We Create an Awesome …” and the like are designed to titillate your curiosity and get you to click on their link. Testimonials are golden and if they are sufficient in number or include an industry leader, they can effectively per-suade interested people to take some type

of action.It is largely because of this emotional

reaction and desire to help (which in itself is an emotion) that makes cause market-ing so effective. Cause marketing helps create goodwill and attract attention to your company and brand. It also helps you distinguish your company from your competitors. Furthermore, if your com-pany becomes passionate with your cause, you may also build advocates who gener-ate buzz across a wide number of social networks, the requirement for a potential viral campaign.

In a recent study, public relations firm Edelman found that “when quality and price were the same, 53 percent of brands that had a social purpose were more likely to trigger a purchase.” Additionally, almost three times more monthly purchases were made from companies that supported social causes than ones that do not.

I haven’t examined the study or the analysis of the results, so I can’t say wheth-er or not some bias existed in the study – particularly since Edelman will ben-efit from the results. I’m also somewhat suspicious about the “three times more monthly purchases” since that might be a result of better marketing or the particular products that were sold.

Yet, the results are compelling for two simple reasons: word of mouth and cus-tomer goodwill. The latter is the reason why many firms that accept payments

include an optional donation for some charity; they help that charity and obtain goodwill from their customers.

Let’s try a simple test right now. Company A produces a great product that you need. Company B produces the same great product but also runs a passionate campaign for a noble cause – let’s say sup-porting childhood leukemia research. With everything being the same, which company would you purchase your product from?

Suppose Company A sent you month-ly updates on their product line and Company B sent you monthly updates on the children they have helped – and if you’re interested, you may click on a picture or a link to learn the latest on their product line updates. Which email would you be more apt to respond to or remember?

Suppose Company B sweetened their mailing with a statement that 10 percent of every purchase would be donated to their cause. How would that affect your decision process? Would you also be more likely to discuss the offer or send it to your friends? This is the basis for many success-ful social cause marketing campaigns.

So, if you decide to take on a social cause campaign, here are some tips you can implement.

Find a charity or cause you strongly believe in, one that elicits an emotion-al commitment. Discuss this with your employees. If any of them already work

closely with a cause, you might want to work with their cause if you also feel pas-sionate about it. Focus on only one cause.

Contact the cause and discuss how you can help them. Based on your discussion, build a brief outline of the campaign you wish to do for them and discuss it again with them. (This sometimes works better with smaller causes than larger ones.) You only need two goals to make this campaign successful: you must genuinely want to help your cause and you must have a way of publicizing your involvement. A cre-ative campaign that relies on referral mar-keting can be highly effective and stands the best chance of going viral.

Social media is a rapidly growing and evolving platform that has become an important part of our daily existence. In the process, it has altered how we do busi-ness, our methods of communication and our support of social causes.
