The SCCCC Board of Directors photograph was taken inside Canopy Cathedral. The grandest of the Garden’s treehouses, the ornate two-story house was inspired by a Norwegian church. Longwood’s three treehouses were built in 2008. It took four months to build them using mostly reclaimed materials. The structures are supported by a pin foundation system, which leaves surrounding tree limbs and roots unharmed.

Old Baltimore Pike Road, known locally as Old Route One, sits as the background for our region’s communities, quaint towns and boroughs. Surrounding metropolitan areas are minutes away, setting our region apart from the rest of the county.

Business advocacy… The Southern Chester County

A GREAT PLACE TO GROW Southern Chester County affords easy access to all major mid-Atlantic markets and everything in between. Philadelphia is just 25 minutes away, while New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., are about two hours by car or train.

The Board of Directors and members of the Community & Government Relations Committee work to ensure that the concerns of our membership are heard in order to improve the business climate.

• Lincoln University

Defining our business community…The Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce (SCCCC) draws its 500+ member companies from nearly all communities within our services area. Kennett Square, nestled 35 miles southwest of Philadelphia, just over the Delaware and Maryland borders, is the largest borough in Southern Chester County, and home to our Chamber of Commerce. It sits on the crossroads of Old Route One (in an east-west direction) and Route 82 (in a south-north direction). From this point south, the Chamber’s service area encompasses 17 municipalities, townships and boroughs. For a complete list, please refer to the Table of Contents, Municipalities Section. Interspersed in and around the communities are a wide variety of farms and orchards, mushroom plants, and horse ranches. In the past, farming and horticultural production have been the major industries in this semirural region; however, today, secondary and service sector industries, such as light assembly, manufacturing, retail and restaurants, and professional services, are equally as important to the local economy. Regardless of the inroads made by the service sector, mushroom growing remains a major industry in terms of employment and revenues.

Dedicated to serving our membership and the business community... As an integral part of the fabric of the region for 86 years, the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce has played a leadership role supporting the business community. Services and products offered today rival that of many of the larger chambers of commerce. By providing practical and useful member benefits and offering relevant and timely programming and professional education opportunities, promoting economic growth, and advocating for sound public policy, SCCCC is the region’s leading business organization.

REAL ESTATE TRENDS Greater Philadelphia unemployment rate declined to 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014, the lowest unemployment experienced in the region since May 2008. Philadelphia’s business service (+2,800), education and healthcare (+2,600), and financial service (+2,000) sectors all experienced positive job growth over the past 12 months. The US unemployment rate declined to 5.6 percent in December 2014, the lowest since 2008 and added nearly 3 million jobs to the market over the past 12 months, the highest job growth since 1999. The commercial real estate market continued to improve in 2014. Geoff Bosley, Vice President and CFO of LGB Properties noted, "The Southern Chester County area has shown strong growth in the past few years. Kennett Borough has seen a dramatic rise with new businesses like Victory Brewing Company moving to Kennett.” LGB Properties, owner of The Liberty Place at Kennett Square, is reporting over a 90% occupancy rate. Their 2015 project, The Charles Court Executive Center, located at 312 West State Street in Kennett Square, is a home for small businesses that desire the amenities of high end office space at a cost that fits their budget. LGB Properties developed and launched a unique venue in Kennett Square in 2013. Bosley had this to add, “The Market at Liberty Place, located in downtown Kennett Square, continues to grow and expand. With eight unique businesses under one roof, The Market offers customers the option for fresh, prepared food onsite ranging from crepes, baked goods, pizza, sandwiches, and more. The Market also offers customers the opportunity to purchase fresh, local, and organic seafood, dairy products, produce, and wine. Customers may also enjoy a cocktail in the evening while enjoying live entertainment on Thursday and Friday evening.

Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey Survey provides value as a signal to shifts in overall economic activity www.philadelphiafed.org/research-and-data The Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey is a monthly survey of manufacturers in the Third Federal Reserve District. Participants indicate the direction of change in overall business activity and in the various measures of activity at their plants: employment, working hours, new and unfilled orders, shipments, inventories, delivery times, prices paid, and prices received. The survey has been conducted each month since May 1968. Every month, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia publishes the Business Outlook Survey, which solicits the views of local manufacturers about conditions at their companies. This survey, which has been conducted continuously since May 1968, provides a unique early view of U.S. economic activity each month. Consequently, economists, the media, and investors carefully watch the survey, and the survey is widely believed to have an influential impact on the stock market. The value of the survey as a signal is due to its unusual longevity and to the fact that manufacturing remains quite sensitive to – and central to – shifts in overall economic activity. As a result, even though the survey seeks the views of manufacturers only in the local area, it is useful in estimating how manufacturers and other businesses throughout the U.S. economy are performing. The survey asks several questions that have been shown to be useful in estimating quantitatively how the entire U.S. economy is doing along a variety of dimensions.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW — CHESTER COUNTY The Chester County Economic Overview is designed to serve as a valuable resource for the business community with economic interests in Southern Chester County, as well as to build awareness about trends in our region, and keep readers informed on key data and information related to business growth and development.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF PHILADELPHIA The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia serves the Third Federal Reserve District, which consists of eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware. It is one of the 12 regional Reserve Banks that, together with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., make up the Federal Reserve System. As the nation’s central bank, the Federal Reserve System works to ensure the strength and integrity of the economy and financial system. The Fed’s basic mission is to create the financial conditions that foster economic growth: stable prices, sound banking practices, and a reliable payments system. In pursuit of its mission, the Fed operates in four distinct but interconnected areas: conducting the nation’s monetary policy; supervising and regulating financial institutions; performing services for the U.S. Treasury; and supporting an effective and efficient payments system. Effective July 1, 2015, the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia announced that Patrick T. Harker, 56, currently president of the University of Delaware and a member of the Philadelphia Fed's board of directors, was named the 11th president and chief executive officer of the Philadelphia Fed. The appointment was jointly approved by eligible directors of the Philadelphia Fed's board of directors, all nonbankers by law, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, D.C.

THE COUNTY OF CHESTER BUDGET OVERVIEW The following is the 2015 budget for the County of Chester. This budget reflects the County’s ongoing commitment to provide the best services at the lowest burden to the taxpayer. It demonstrates a continuing process of increased efficiencies and cost reductions achieved through maintaining tight control over expenditures and seeking new, cost-effective methods to deliver the services that are mandated and that its citizens desire.

percent. This ranges from 100 percent for the Economy, to 98 percent for Public Safety, 94 percent for Growth, and 92 percent for Health, Human Services and Environment. The modification of the County’s financial systems continues to allow for the integration of each department’s Strategic Plan goals into the performance management and performance-based budgeting systems for County departments. The County’s personnel evaluation system was revised to directly link the performance expectations of employees to the department’s goals and the County’s goals. This evaluation system provides accountability to achieving the desired goals that are important to the citizens of Chester County. The operating budget for 2015 is $432,499,283, a decrease of $1,064,424 compared to the current budget as of September 30, 2014. The four funds with dedicated tax millage, General Fund, Parks & Recreation, Library and Debt Service, will require a combined millage of 4.163, the same as 2014. The tax rate for Chester County remains one of the lowest in southeast Pennsylvania. The Capital Investment Program budget, which is comprised of the Capital Improvement Fund and the Capital Reserve Fund, is $89,531,813. p

DEBT MANAGEMENT

RESERVES

Chester County continues to actively manage its debt requirements. The 2014 reaffirmation of the three Triple-A bond ratings resulted in more than $4.0 million in savings to taxpayers during the refinancing of bonds in November 2014. The County will continue to identify opportunities to refinance existing debt in this low interest environment.

In challenging economic periods, it is important for jurisdictions to be prepared for reductions in revenue or unforeseen expenditures. Chester County’s policy of maintaining a Working Capital Reserve at a minimum ten percent of the subsequent year’s General Fund expenditures was noted in the Triple-A reaffirmations of all three ratings agencies, Moody’s Investors Service, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. The 2015 budget reflects efforts to maintain reserves at fiscally prudent levels.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

2015 INITIATIVES INVESTMENT IN COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION AND OPEN SPACE

By 2014, Chester County had invested more than $54.4 million in Community Revitalization projects throughout its 15 boroughs and the City of Coatesville. At the same time, the total number of acres preserved as protected open space reached more than 123,500 (representing over 25 percent of the county). Capital expenditure for 2015 includes further investment in Chester County’s Community Revitalization and Open Space Programs, which align to the Commissioners’ strategic priority for growth. FURTHER REDUCTIONS IN ENERGY USAGE Chester County has taken great strides to reduce its energy usage within County facilities over the past four years, to meet the Strategic Planning goal of maintaining, or reducing by five percent, our energy use.

The County will continue to focus on reduction of energy usage in 2015 and beyond – at County offices, Pocopson Home, the Prison and Youth Center, and Countyowned libraries – by entering into a state-sponsored Guaranteed Energy Savings Program, to become even more environmentally responsible and cost efficient.

HEALTH CARE

• A new 3-D digital mammography system that reduces stressful call-backs for repeat screening and increase early detection of invasive cancers by 41% over 2D mammography alone.

NEW SERVICES Earlier this year, Jennersville Regional Hospital recently expanded its relationship with Nemours Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children by offering CareConnect in its Emergency Department. CareConnect provides families in the community access to the pediatric specialists from one of the best Children’s Hospitals in the nation* directly from the Southern Chester County-based Emergency Department. Using today’s virtual technologies, the physicians at Jennersville Regional Hospital can immediately call upon the specialists at Nemours Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children to consult in the care of any sick or injured infant, child or adolescent, often avoiding a rushed trip to Wilmington or Philadelphia.

Some of the finest health care services in the region are available to Southern Chester County residents. Characterized by caring health care professionals, services are provided in state-of-the-art facilities, with innovative technology, and a full spectrum of comprehensive care, in modern settings.

JENNERSVILLE REGIONAL HOSPITAL On the heels of a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion, Jennersville Regional Hospital continues to evolve to meet the needs of the community it serves. By adding new technology and services and focusing on enhancing the care provided, the nearly 100 year old institution is key to healthcare in Southern Chester County. Some recent examples include:

NEW TECHNOLOGY Remember when you used a flip phone instead of a smartphone? Imaging technology is changing just as fast. Advancements in medical imaging provide better quality images and more accurate diagnostic capabilities to you and your doctor. At Jennersville Regional Hospital, we continually invest in new equipment and training so that you have access to these advancements. Whether you’re in the emergency room with your child waiting for a computed tomography (CT) of a broken rib, or in an outpatient setting getting your annual mammogram, excellent imaging technology has numerous benefits. Many of the changes, such as improved clarity and reduced radiation exposure, are unnoticeable but offer patients more peace of mind. Higher-resolution images aid the radiologists in interpreting your results. Reduced radiation exposure is particularly important for children and those requiring frequent imaging tests. As patient safety is our top priority, we provide quality images with the lowest dose of radiation possible. • A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner offers higher resolution and shorter exams, with breast MRI and MRI biopsy capabilities. • Our new ultrasound technology provides better quality images and has 3-D capabilities for urologic and gynecologic studies. • A new CT scanner offers higher resolution, while exposing patients to less radiation and enabling shorter exams.

20

Should hospitalization or further care be needed, CareConnect assures a smooth transition of care from the Jennersville Regional Hospital ER to the Wilmingtonbased Nemours Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children. Parents find it comforting to know that the physicians and staff at Nemours are ready to assist with the safe transportation of their child to its Wilmington facility. Plus, they are fully abreast of the child’s medical condition which helps to avoid any unnecessary delays.

THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE With large private rooms welcoming those admitted for inpatient care, the health care team at Jennersville Regional Hospital stands ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over the past several years, nurses, doctors and administrators have focused on ways to streamline and enhance all aspects of care. While highly regulated and judged by both state and federal agencies, the ultimate goal is to please those who seek Hospital services while keeping their safety in the forefront of everything we do. Patient satisfaction data, collected by an independent firm, confirms that the hospital is achieving its goal. One such acknowledgement of our success is the recently received American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Silver Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment and success ensuring that stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence. To receive the Silver Quality Achievement award, hospitals must achieve 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines-Stroke achievement indicators for at least 12 consecutive months.

PENN MEDICINE SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY On June 2, 2015, members of the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce joined Penn Medicine and Chester County Hospital for an opening celebration of the newest medical destination in southern Chester County. More than 300 guests toured Penn Medicine Southern Chester County while enjoying wine, hors d’oeuvres and flower arrangements – all provided by local southern Chester County small businesses.

The 72,000-square-foot, intelligently designed medical office building initially offers SCC residents the specialties of primary care (Penn Family Medicine Southern Chester County), ob/gyn (Penn Ob/Gyn) and ophthalmology (Chester County Eye Care Associates) complemented by Penn Medicine’s comprehensive radiology, laboratory and physical therapy services. The addition of cardiology, orthopaedics, gastroenterology and otolaryngology, by summer’s end, will mark the opening of the building’s second story followed closely by pediatrics in the fall. An outpatient surgical center is also planned to be added to the second floor in the future. During the evening’s ribbon cutting event Paula Crowley, CEO of Anchor Health, the building’s development company, remarked at how closely the building matches the original vision for the project. “Crafted more than five years ago, the vision for the building reads ‘A comfortable health care destination of innovative and integrated services in a high quality, efficient patient-centered environment.’ I think that you’d have to agree with me that we achieved this vision.” Ralph Muller, CEO of Penn Medicine, said “The intent of this building is to really have a set of services that make it possible for you to be at Penn Medicine and have it very close to you. It will really provide the most advanced medicine services to the area.” He added that “We make sure that our facilities provide care that is integrated and coodinated to make it easier for you. We are advancing superior Information Technology in medicine right now. We have integrated records so that no matter where you’re seen inside of Penn Medicine, we have a record there so that you don’t have to start all over again each time you see us. Whether you come here, Chester County Hospital, Valley Forge, Radnor, or another location, you’ll be part of the same information system that allows us to track your lab results, your medications, your images and so forth.” President of the SCC Chamber, Tony Poluch, recalled his days working with Chester County Hospital as a volunteer of the May Festival committee, one of the hospital’s annual fundraising community events. “It was great working with the hospital volunteers and employees. I just want to let the SCC community know how lucky we are to have the employees that I used to work there with come here now, knowing that they are going to put all the effort behind them that they did for those events. The medical team is a wonderful group.” Although the building is new to southern Chester County, many of the building’s tenant practices have been a part of the community for many years. And, Chester County Hospital itself has been serving the southern Chester County community from its beginning in 1892.

DISCOVER SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY partners assure conditions in which individuals can be healthy and individuals are empowered to manage their own health – more than 60 organizations and service agencies have partnered in an effort to make a collective impact on the health of Chester County residents and communities.

AGRICULTURE: OUR ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE

RoadMAPP to Health has identified five priorities to improve health in Chester County:

• Cultural Competence and Health Disparities • Coordinated Behavioral and Physical Health • Awareness of Community Resources • Individual Health Management • Safe and Healthy Environments The Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), developed by RoadMAPP to Health partners, was released in December of 2014 and is available on the RoadMAPP to Health website. The CHIP includes goals, objectives, key actions, and timelines for the next five years to focus community efforts on addressing issues related to each of the five priorities. The Chester County Commissioners have included RoadMAPP to Health in their Priorities and Goals for improving community health; the goals identified in the community health improvement plan will be incorporated into County department strategic plans by 2016. Community organizations are encouraged to review the plan, identify opportunities to contribute, and join the partnership to ensure a greater collective impact on health in Chester County. The partnership is using the MAPP (Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships) process, which outlines a cycle of community-driven assessment and planning activities. This is the first time that a partnership of this type has used the MAPP process in Chester County. The completed assessments include an analysis of existing health-related data, a community survey, a series of town hall meetings, and a review of existing resources and external factors. The partners will evaluate and monitor progress on the goals and objectives outlined in the CHIP. The RoadMAPP to Health leadership will continue to provide regular updates to the assessment data and the CHIP so that community efforts stay focused on current trends and best practices.

Supporting the future of agriculture Every year the Chester County Board of Commissioners and Chester County Agricultural Development Council (Ag Council) offer significant resource data and information to help residents and businesses find local farm products, and to provide assistance in discovering what agriculture in our county is all about. Chester County recognizes the importance of agriculture to our heritage and way of life, as well as being a significant economic driver. The industry: • Creates and maintains jobs. • Helps protect our high quality soils (we have some of the best non-irrigated soils in the world).

Hillary Krummrich Director, Agricultural Development Council

• Suppor ted by large population concentrations and easy access to markets.

Christopher Alonzo Chairman, Chester County Agricultural Development Council

• Provides tax revenue yet keeps land in use that requires little infrastructure or public services. • Provides scenic landscapes that help make Chester County a wonderful place to live.

Prepared by the Chester County Planning Commission For information on the Ag Council, please visit www.chesco.org/agdev or Facebook and Instagram.

All of this adds up to an economic benefit for agricultural producers and residents alike. The county’s award-winning comprehensive plan, Landscapes2, includes objectives, policies, and an action plan for agriculture (as well as other key land use topics) and identifies it as an important economic factor. As Chester County Board of Commissioners’ Chair Terence Farrell says, “The comprehensive actions in Landscapes2 address our on-going commitment to agricultural land preservation programs, and highlight the benefits of our local food system.”

Chester County is ranked 1st in the nation for mushroom production by county.

Vista 2025, the economic development strategy recently produced by the Chester County Economic Development Council, and supported by the Chester County Board of Commissioners, has also identified agriculture as a critical component to the local economy. Commissioner Michelle Kichline, co-Chair of the Vista 2025 initiative has called agriculture, “An underestimated industry sector in the county, particularly by those in the eastern region, who may be less involved with agriculture as a part of their daily lives. But when you examine the amount and diversity of agriculture in the county, you begin to recognize its significant impact.”

DISCOVER SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY According to the 2012 USDA Ag Census, our county’s agricultural industry provides a sales value of over half a billion dollars. If one takes into account the “multiplier effect” which factors in the value of service industries that support agriculture such as large animal veterinarians, material suppliers, grain processors, as well as post-production enterprises such as transportation, packaging and distribution services, the industry is a considerable economic driver for the county. For the mushroom industry alone, with sales of approximately $346 million in 2007 (Ag Census), researchers estimated that mushroom farmers contribute approximately $2.17 billion to the local economy—this suggests a multiplier of approximately six-fold for that sector (Penn State University economic report, Stefanou, 2008). Commissioner Kathi Cozzone acknowledges that, “Although many county residents do not work in agriculture and may be unaware of the industry’s economic significance, most recognize it as part of our heritage and how it influences our quality of life. The soils are important to preserve and protect, and the industry must be allowed to continue to grow and change, and apply technologies to remain the powerhouse it is.” In Southern Chester County, producers like Country Fresh Mushroom Co.in Toughkenamon (a cooperative of 7 family farms) grow, pack and distribute a wide variety of mushrooms and produce. Country Fresh is one of the leading vendors for nearly all mushroom products throughout most of the United States. They represent the embodiment of Southern Chester County pride in ownership as is evidenced by their code of ethics proudly displayed on their website: www.cfmushroom.com

Chester County ranked 1st in the U.S. in the value of nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, sod, and mushrooms.

REAL ESTATE The commercial real estate market continued to improve in 2013 as occupancy rates inched higher, while demand for “A” quality centers, particularly grocery anchored centers, remained stronger than ever.

COMMERCIAL REIT’s, Equity Funds, Pension Funds, and private investors were all competing for the higher quality centers currently on the market, resulting in much lower cap rates and higher values. 2013 also saw extremely low commercial interest rates; however, those rates began climbing again in the fourth quarter of the year. According to Joe Waters of R.J. Waters & Associates, “leasing improved in 2013 as the occupancy rate for our portfolio of leased and managed centers climbed to 98 percent. We signed over 25 leases in 2013, with another five deals currently in the final stages. We completed a $12 million remodel and re-tenancy of our 300,000 square foot Fairfield Place Shopping Center in Exton, PA, completed an expansion of our Centerville Square Shopping Center in Lancaster, PA, and received Conditional Use Approval for a $390,000 square foot mixed-use project in Lancaster, PA at Rt. 30 and Fruitville Pike. In Southern Chester County, we added Two Stones Pub, Red Sombrero, and Hallmark to the Shoppes at Longwood Village in Kennett Square, PA, ATI Physical Therapy and Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union to the Marlborough Square Shopping Center in Kennett Square, PA, Sun Thai & Sushi to the Shoppes at Jenner’s Village in West Grove, PA, and Cold Beverage Station to the Village at Painter’s Crossing in Chadds Ford, PA.” On the residential side of the real estate market, Al George Realtor, ABR, SRES of RE/MAX Town & Country shared his perspective, stating “The severe winter did not help the real estate market, but demand is growing daily and we are looking forward to a great spring market! Mortgage rates are still historically low, however prices are up over 4 percent compared to last year.”

“The forecast is very optimistic for the year,” continued D’Amico. “In that the pent up demand from the winter will contribute to a productive spring in 2014. The interest rates are still low, although forecasted to increase by mid-year. The average sale price is now within 94% of the original list price. This is up from 92% this time last year. Buyers and Sellers need to still consider all three variables of Price, Location and Condition when listing a home for sale or preparing to purchase a new home.” Geoff Bosley, Vice President and CFO of LGB Properties noted, "The Southern Chester County area has shown strong growth in the past few years. Kennett Borough has seen a dramatic rise with new businesses like Victory Brewing Company moving to Kennett. LGB Properties, owner of The Liberty Place at Kennett Square, is reporting over a 90% occupancy rate. Their 2015 project, The Charles Court Executive Center, located at 312 West State Street in Kennett Square, is a home for small businesses that desire the amenities of high end office space at a cost that fits their budget."

p Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce


2014 ANNUAL REPORT YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR BUSINESS WELCOME from SCCCC Chairman of the Board, Anthony J. Poluch, Jr. DEAR CHAMBER MEMBERS, I am proud and excited to serve as the 2015 Chairman of the Board of the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce. It is an honor to follow in the footsteps of the leaders before me, some of whom are included in the pages that follow. With the support of our President and staff, along with the incredible leadership exhibited by the executive committee and board of directors, committee members, and member businesses, I am confident of our continued success. As Chairman, my primar y vision is to grow the Chamber membership by enhancing member retention and increasing our base of members. Encouraging members to be active is critical to their success as much as ours, and as my predecessors have said before me, you get out of the Chamber what you put into it. With regard to increasing the membership base, a new incentive was launched in January of this year for our Membership Committee: committee members who bring in six new Chamber members during the course of

A Year in Review Joseph Waters (R. J. Waters & Associates, Inc.) serves on the Chamber’s Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and Board Development Committee, and served as the 2014 President

As Waters assumed the Chamber’s reins in January 2014, real gross domestic product was on its way to increasing in 48 states and the District of Columbia. By year-end, professional, scientific, and technical services was the largest contributor to U.S. GDP by state growth at 4.2 percent, compared with 0.7 percent in 2013. Over the course of the year, the economy saw nondurable goods manufacturing grow 4.2 percent compared with 1.1 percent in 2013, while real estate and rental and leasing grew 1.5 percent, down slightly from 1.6 percent in 2013. The national unemployment rate, at 6.6 percent in January 2014, closed the year at 5.6 percent, as compared to Pennsylvania’s 5.0 percent, and the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area at 5.5 percent. Closer to home, in January 2014, Waters noted that this was a year for professionalizing the family business, or professionalizing the Chamber, and for taking a small step back, to take another giant leap forward, with a focus on getting the house in order. The President’s position, led by Cheryl Kuhn, continued to grow and evolve each and every day, while Melissa Kratz, member services manager, hit the ground running and continued to grow in her position. The Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and Committees were stronger than ever, and continued on a strong path of leadership. From a financial perspective, the budgeting process was modified to prepare high level budg-

the year will receive a $200 credit toward their membership dues for the following year. Interested in joining? If so, please give the Chamber a call. We are proud to work on behalf of our members and bring new and exciting opportunities to the region. During 2015, there will be ample opportunities to get involved, grow your business, enhance your professional development, volunteer, and most importantly meet new people. Take full advantage of all the Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce has to offer, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your continued participation and support. All the best for success.

Anthony J. Poluch, Jr., Chairman of the Board Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce (THE BRYN MAWR TRUST COMPANY)

ets for signature events, rolling them up into a master budget, cutting costs where it didn’t hurt, while adding expenditures that created value. The marrying of two accounting systems that started two years ago was completed, putting the Chamber in a good position moving forward. The Board, led by Waters, focused on a myriad of tasks, including an extensive review of analytics and quantitative data, a detailed analysis of each signature event, and the completion of monthly metrics at the Board level, all in an effort to better understand and improve our events and programming. A formal and lengthy review of the Chamber’s By-laws was conducted, updating terminology to be consistent with chambers of commerce on a national scale, detailing the Board definition, and adding a Vice Chair position to the Executive Committee to aid in succession planning, and ensure continuity and experience from year to year. The rollout of SCC Local was completed, the Chamber’s first mobile app, an effort that was aimed at reaching local and out of town consumers and businesses looking for things to do, where to shop, where to eat, and where to obtain local services, and the Community and Government Relations Committee created “The Reporter,” a quarterly newsletter aimed at keeping the membership updated on relevant state and local community and government affairs. On another note, under the leadership of Dr. Chad Laurence (Corrective Chiropractic), the membership committee was expanded, arming the committee and membership with SCCCC fast facts and expanded recruiting materials, and on the sponsorship side, the Chamber’s Circle Partner program increased from five in 2013 to 14 in 2014, an effort that improved the visibility of our sponsors and created additional value through continual, year-long promotion. A formal committee led by Jim Horn (The TriM Group, LLC) and Daria Payne (Dansko, Inc.) agreed to locate and administer the annual Out-

standing Citizen of the Year award, enlisting the help of past award recipients, members, and the Southern Chester County community. With this being the prestigious and special award that it is, we wanted to make sure we did this right. On the event side, a renewed emphasis was placed on doing things just a little bit better and refocusing our efforts. For example, changes were made to the Scholarship Golf Tournament. Yes it was still fun and a great networking event; however, renewed focus was placed more on the students, and rewarding and celebrating their accomplishments and achievements. Scholarships were awarded to three graduating seniors, one from Unionville, one from Kennett, and one from Avon Grove. It truly was a great day for each recipient. In addition, support continued for Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Education (PFEW) by awarding three scholarships to local high school rising seniors who completed applications to participate in the program. PFEW is an intensive program that educates high school students about the American free enterprise system by bringing students together with business people from around the Commonwealth. This unique concept in learning has enhanced the lives of nearly 36,000 young adults over thirty-six years. And lastly, enhancements were made to Chamber’s Annual Dinner, an effort which we hope will create more “Fun!” Housekeeping items were removed from the dinner agenda, and the format was changed from a formal sit down dinner to dinner stations, allowing guests to seat themselves, and provide expanded time for social and business networking, and of course dancing. 2014 is in the books and we’re ready to charge ahead, fostering new relationships, leading, connecting, educating and advocating, and supporting and promoting our members. We’re here to help, and we’re here to listen, and I’m confident together we can continue to make a difference. p www.scccc.com

SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

CHAMBER TRENDS In 2013, Matthew D. Tucker assumed his duties as president of the Chamber. At this time, central banks in the U.S., Japan and Europe poured money on their economies, held interest rates low and promised to continue the trend to bring to life a recovery that remained lukewarm almost five years after the worst recession since the Great Depression. Despite contrasting wealth, the overall global economy appeared to be on a surer footing as 2012 came to a close. As 2013 unfolded, the euro zone limped out of recession. In Japan and the U.S., consumers repaired personal balance sheets and resumed spending, although businesses remained wary about committing to new workers or investment. In Chester County, as of December 2013, we recorded the lowest unemployment rate in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Pa.N.J.-Del.-Md. Metropolitan Statistical Area at 4.6 percent. Chester County continued to give their government high ratings in terms of it being a positive place to raise a family, obtain a good education, and to purchase a home. All of the indicators represented endorsements that our region was able to retain a position of strength in a challenging situation, namely, the economic downturn. The Southern Chester County Chamber membership also maintained its positive position in the region with regard to membership and reached new heights with programming and services. With the Chamber’s membership numbers and finances holding their own, an experienced executive director in place and strong Board and Executive leadership, Tucker focused his efforts on challenging the membership to participate and to be involved. Opportunities abounded for members: a myriad of networking opportunities, actively engaged committees, as well as new task forces. Programs and services were on the upswing; and a new full color Community Guide & Business Directory was introduced and aided in building awareness about the Chamber and promoting our mission. Successful signature events, launched late in 2012, began to prove effective. The premier business luncheons held in spring and fall boasted Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley and Pennsylvania Public Utility Commissioner Robert F. Powelson as keynote speakers in the spring and Director of Longwood Gardens, Paul Redman in the fall. Attendance numbers soared over 200, and importantly, many of the guests were new and not-yet members, a growing trend. A valuable community event for the

Chamber, the annual Scholarship Golf Tournament, introduced a new element to the already successful event. The organization’s long history of supporting local youth launched the scholarship dinner, inviting the high school scholarship recipients, their parents and siblings, and high school principles to join the Board for a special dinner. The students were introduced to Chamber members and received much deserved recognition. Additional efforts designed to strengthen programming included the Chamber partnering with other like-minded organizations, working together on the Latino initiative’s Entrepreneurial Business Education program. The eight-week program was offered in Spanish and proved successful with more than 15 attendees. On another note, with regard to new task forces, Chamber leadership agreed to build an ‘app’. Plans for the new app included a launch at the Annual Dinner, being held in 2014 and would serve as a directory of SCCCC member businesses providing a much-needed community resource, as well as a way for members and guests to register for Chamber events, and more. “All in all,” said Tucker, “2013 sustained its path to the next level of success as the leading member driven business organization in Southern Chester County.” In 2012, Christian Cuthbert (Genesis HealthCare) served on the Chamber’s Board of Directors from 2008 to 2013, the Executive Committee from 2011 to 2013, and President in 2012. Cuthbert stepped into his tenure at a time of an historic economic downturn in the nation’s economy. Nationally, there was the banking crisis, the mortgage crisis and housing bubble burst. Stock market volatility, corporate fraud, and healthcare reform all contributed to an uncertain economic climate. Globally were financial crises in Japan, Spain, China, and Greece, trouble with the European Union and the EURO, to name a few. As unemployment reached historic highs, Southern Chester County fared better than most. In 2012, the national unemployment rate hit eight percent while Chester County was at four percent. The Southern Chester County region continued to see modest economic growth throughout this period. Chester County is special, in that it is the most educated, employed and the wealthiest county in the State of Pennsylvania, which allowed the region to weather these economic storms, as did the Chamber membership, which showed gains in membership year after year.

When Cuthbert took over in 2012, he proposed to move the Chamber forward in a direction that would make the organization more relevant to its core membership, many of whom are small businesses with less than 10 employees. With this demographic, the time these business leaders spent out of the office was limited; it was important to provide resources that made the time away meaningful. To that end, the Chamber focused squarely on member-to-member engagement, through a myriad of networking events aimed at maximizing interaction. The key to any successful Chamber is an engaged and knowledgeable membership, and the Southern Chester County region is blessed to have a business community that is both active and participatory. One of the most successful networking events in the Chamber’s history – the monthly Network at Noon event, was borne under Cuthbert’s watch. The event was designed and executed by the current Executive Director, Cheryl Kuhn, and has been viewed as the event that defined the 2012 mission of member-tomember engagement. Network at Noon is a luncheon held at a local member venue and typically attracts upwards of 50 participants per event. Pre-lunch time is allotted for networking; a post-lunch portion is highlighted by a thirty second elevator pitch presented by every attendee. There is a sponsorship opportunity for a member company, with specific time allocated for the sponsor to address the attendees and promote their business. In any organization, accomplishments are largely driven by access to good information with which it can make sound business decisions. Under Cuthbert’s watchful eye, the Chamber proved successful in implementing a data integrity program, harnessing the wealth of information generated by its technology initiatives, and providing Board of Directors with timely and meaningful facts and figures that afforded the organization’s leadership the ability to proactively engage in member-focused programming and professional education strategies. The primary challenge – managing the explosion of information generated by new technology implemented in the previous few years. Thanks to the success of the data integrity program, the organization now possesses salient information generated through the website, an onsite management system, and comprehensive financial systems.


ANNUAL REPORT The task at hand: how best to leverage these technologies for the benefit of the Chamber and its members. For example, the Chamber now has historical financial and attendance data for signature events, which helps in planning and coordination of future events, and the organization possesses the financial intelligence to forecast its financial position, which allows the Board of Directors the means to manage the Chamber’s finances more efficiently and track and identify members. It is no secret that the economic times forced many business to take a hard look at budgeting and expenses, consequently, support for non-profits, no matter how strategically important, are vulnerable to cost cutting. “This impact is doubled from the Chamber’s perspective, for not only does the organization rely on fundraising to sustain itself, it is also functioning under the same economic constraints as the member businesses,” said Cuthbert. “Without a doubt, our Chamber’s success can be traced back to its leaders, the members of the Board and committed volunteers who brought their A-game to the table and held nothing back.” He continued, “We are prepared to take the step and stretch for that next level of success as the leading member driven business organization in Southern Chester County in 2013 and beyond.” In 2011, the gavel passed to Steven I. Butler, who served on the Executive Committee from 2009 to 2013 and Board of Directors from 2005 to 2013. Butler’s experience with the Chamber spanned the very strong economic climate of 2005 through the recession; he took office as President in the third year of recovery. During Butler’s time as president, he focused on managing change within as the Executive Director responsibilities shifted to newly-hired Cheryl Kuhn. He focused on balancing decreased membership levels due to the effects of the recession in 2008. During Butler’s presidency, Kuhn became an integral part of the Chamber and introduced new networking opportunities, including the Network at Noon program. “[Kuhn] has proven herself to be a capable manager and planner,” noted Butler. “Now we are back to wanting to achieve our ongoing vision of growth along with being a ‘player’ in the business economy of Southern Chester County.” In 2010, Brian Roselli (Allstate - Brian Roselli Agency) took the helm of the Chamber. Roselli focused on the Chamber’s financial goals, rebuilding investments, and diversifying offerings for the Chamber’s member base. Roselli felt that expanding the breadth of opportunities would increase value to members and offer something for everyone.

“My job was to make sure we stayed the course,” remarked Roselli. “I am both proud of what we accomplished during that year and grateful for the opportunity afforded to me to head one of the greatest organizations in Southern Chester County.” In 2009, W. Chad Fenstermacher, CPA (Fenstermacher & Company, LLP) became president of the Chamber. Prior to Fenstermacher’s inauguration in 2008, the national economy rocked with the collapse of the housing market, a collapse of many financial institutions and huge selloff in the stock markets. Unemployment rose and the country entered a deep recession. Our local economy fared well, although many businesses faced significant challenges. Fenstermacher, who served on both the Board of Directors and Executive Committee from 2006 to 2010, faced several obstacles, including struggling membership, increased renewal rates, decreased sponsorships, and an increase in overhead, as well as balancing the Chamber’s decision to hire a full-time executive director and other growth initiatives. “Despite a challenging membership environment, the Chamber made very positive steps toward utilizing technology to manage and understand the chambers business,” noted Fenstermacher. The implementation of WebLink provided a custom web-based database application that allowed staff to manage membership, accounting tasks and events previously maintained manually.

Members could register for events online and pay with a credit card. While the full benefit of the software was not realized in the first couple of years, it provided a strong foundation for the Chamber going forward. Fenstermacher also focused on development of educational programs and networking opportunities to increase the value of the Chamber to its members. In 2008, John A. Jaros, Esq. (Riley Riper Hollin & Colagreco, Attorneys at Law) took charge as President of the Chamber. Jaros served on the Board of Directors from 2004 to 2006 and Executive Committee from 2007 to 2009. During his first year as President, 2008 saw the economy start to slow, posing some interesting challenges for the Chamber. At this time, and under these circumstances, Jaros remained focused on improving the Chamber and providing better service to its members. Jaros, along with the Executive Committee, hired the Chamber’s first full-time Executive Director after a long and thorough search. Also during his term, Jaros focused on communication vehicles, and vastly improved the Chamber’s primary publication, Southern Exposure, by taking steps to bring it into the electronic medium. “In the face of some very challenging times, and, thanks to the efforts of several talented and devoted people on the Board and Executive Committee, we were able to bring the Chamber into the twenty-first century and reach key goals, during my tenure as President.” p www.scccc.com
