Banks, credit unions ﬁght for market share

ACTIVARMOR

Focus: Health Care Quarterly

By Bob Stephens

anks and credit unions have operated side by side for more than 80 years but — like neighbors who share a fence yet have different views and agendas — they don’t always get along. Banks are the traditional financial institution, still the place where most people have checking and savings accounts, a home mortgage, maybe a car loan and other interests. Not-for-profit credit unions offer all those services too, and have increasingly grabbed more of the competitive market. Banking officials have taken notice of the encroachment on their market shares, and insist some credit unions have undercut bank rates because of unfair advantages. Credit unions were given a tax exemption in 1935 — 26 years after credit unions began in the United States and a year after the Federal Credit Union Act created a body to charter and supervise the institutions. The regulation gives credit unions about a 35 percent break on their income taxes. “Credit unions are paying nothing while the banking industry pays a 35- to 40-percent corporate tax rate,” said ANB Bank Regional President Tom Ashley. “So it’s like bankers and credit unions are running a race and credit unions have a 40-yard head start. “That is difficult for us, as an industry, to swallow. It’s more difficult to compete with.” Don Childears, president and CEO of the Colorado Bankers Association, summed up his frustration with many credit unions: “They want to play like a bank, but they don’t want to pay like a bank.” Credit unions have seen steady asset growth, but the tax exemption remains in place. “The big credit unions are who we’re concerned with,” Childears said. “They’re operating as taxexempt banks.” Last month’s Treasury Department report estimated the federal government will forgo about $35.3 billion during the next 10 years, thanks to the credit unions’ tax exemption. That’s a big jump from the 2016 estimate of $26.7 billion. “That would be evidence that credit unions are growing,” said William Craighead, a Colorado College economics professor. “But being unfair is in the eyes of the beholder.” Credit unions say they’re just following the rules of the game, and they argue the tax exemption actually adds money to the economy, as lower rates save members money and leads to increased spending. “Lower rates mean people can afford a bigger house or a better car,” Craighead said. “More competition in See Banks page 19

Teens join the cyber profession By Helen Robinson

olorado Springs’ cybersecurity workforce pipeline gets a noteworthy add-on this summer. Partnering with local employers, Pikes Peak Community College has built a pioneering cybersecurity internship program for high school students — the fi rst in Colorado and one of just a handful nationally. Starting June 20, students from Colorado Springs and Peyton school districts will become some of the country’s youngest paid cybersecurity interns. The six-week program is designed to introduce promising students to real-world cybersecurity work — and introduce employers to some of the best and brightest of the workforce of the 2020s. The cybersecurity internship program is funded by a National Institute for Standards and Technology grant. PPCC trains students before the internship in work ethic, dress and professional behavior, and provides additional field trips to a range of cybersecurity environments. The program reaches students when they are “easier to hook with why it would be fun to work with technology” and meets a real need among 6

While most companies have sophisticated college internship programs, none of them have worked out how to translate that into high school intern- SAGEN ships, she said. “As we talked to companies, there were several — particularly defense contractors — that said, ‘If we could identify kids in the 10th grade and work with them at that point and help them make good choices, so they could pass a security clearance without having any issues, and … work toward the industry certifications, and if their high school curriculum could help them follow that path, we would hire them when they graduate. They could come to work for us right away and we would put them in important, well-paid jobs,’” Sagen said. “And when we heard that we said, ‘OK, we’ve got to go do this.’” The significance of the program lies in the way it has overcome a range of obstacles to extend paid summer internships to high school students, opening See Cyber page 25

CSBJ OPINION

City mulls safety, stormwater The issue: Colorado Springs needs funding to pay for its stormwater obligations. What we think: Springs voters should reconsider a stormwater fee. Tell us what you think: Send us an email at editorial@csbj.com.

o one likes to pay taxes. And business owners already feel the weight of regulatory burdens that make their livelihoods more costly — particularly small businesses, which frequently must meet the same requirements as their large, multinational counterparts. And while no one likes to pay that check to Uncle Sam, or see utility rates rise or sales taxes increase for local government initiatives, sometimes politicians’ refusal to act for years means that current leaders have to ask for more funding to fix problems that have festered and grown from neglect. Mayor John Suthers — not a tax-and-spend liberal by any means — had to do that with the sales-tax initiative known as 2C to pay for road repairs. Now he’s asking for more funding once again, this time to fix stormwater drainage issues unaddressed for so long that it led to a federal lawsuit. City government officials agreed to a $460 million, 20-year memorandum of understanding with the city of Pueblo, which is on the receiving end of the Springs’ stormwater runoff. And now the Springs has to pay for it. While voters nixed an earlier stormwater fee — anti-tax advocate Doug Bruce called it a tax and campaigned successfully for its reversal — city officials are again proposing a fee based on the amount of land owned by both residents and commercial interests. Under the proposal laid out by the mayor, businesses would pay a monthly fee of $22.50 per acre of property.

Residential owners with homes smaller than 10,000 square feet would pay $4.25 a month. It’s estimated that would bring in roughly $17 million a year. That’s also $17 million that the city could use to increase its police force and improve the essential services residents need. Suthers estimates that the city needs 100 new police officers in the next five to 10 years to keep up with population growth in Colorado Springs. Taxpayers already pay 0.4 percent in additional city sales tax to fund capital and operational needs, but the mayor says that money won’t cover the city’s growing public safety needs. In order to provide both for public safety and for infrastructure needs — arguably the most important items that residents seek from city government — the Colorado Springs City Council believes that a stormwater fee is necessary. While it represents an additional burden for city business owners, it also represents an opportunity to fix what’s been wrong for far too long; to fulfill our promises to our southern neighbor and build a city that is attractive to businesses and job seekers alike. The Springs is no longer a small town, and every major city in the country has a version of a stormwater fee. Putting the proposal on the city ballot would show both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment that the Springs is serious about addressing stormwater issues. Passing it would prove that residents understand their responsibility to Pueblo and to the city’s future prospects. As Suthers said, Colorado Springs already owes the money — it’s acknowledged its obligations. Now it’s time to decide local priorities. Do we want to pay for stormwater at the expense of public safety, snowplowing and other needs? Or do we want a steady, assured source of money that will help bolster infrastructure and build the city of the future? CSBJ n

OPINION: HAZLEHURST

TheatreWorks honors Kathleen Fox Collins

athleen Fox Collins arrived in Colorado Springs from New York City in 1975, drawn to the Pikes Peak region by family connections and memories. She had been active in prison theater, but Colorado Springs seemed like a good fit for a single mother with a small son. She arrived as so many of us have, with meager HAZLEHURST savings, no job prospects and the sunny optimism of youth. On June 25, TheatreWorks will honor Collins’ impact on the local arts scene. She’s come a long way since those early days. “I talked to Dana [Crawford], and she hired me to oversee the re-imagining of the old Pearl Laundry building [in 1975-76], on the southeast corner of Boulder and Tejon [streets],” she said. “We created the Agora Mall, with a Greek restaurant and lots of little shops. [Colorado Springs Symphony conductor] Charles [Ansbacher] and [symphony manager] Bee [Vradenburg] came in almost every noon for lunch.” Kathleen and Charles soon became close friends, and Bee offered her a job as the symphony’s director of special projects. “My fi rst project lost money,” Collins said, “I had persuaded all the downtown businesses to donate a portion of their Thanksgiving weekend profits to the symphony, and we organized a children’s parade, so of course there was a gigantic blizzard, and no one made a nickel.” Undaunted, the three nonprofit entrepreneurs focused on an extraordinarily ambitious project: to build

a symphony hall in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs. The city’s arts community had long dreamed of such a hall — but few thought they could realize it. “It was Charles’ vision,” said Collins. “Bee, Charles, Phil Kendall and I would sit around our dining room tables, and the plans began to take shape. It was amazing to watch and participate.” In 1982, the Pikes Peak Center opened to wide acclaim. The Ansbacher/Collins/Vradenburg team led the symphony until 1986, when Ansbacher left to pursue other ventures. “There were so many great performances, such great crowds, and when Charles left we hired Chris Wilkins and created another troika,” Collins explained. “It was another fabulous decade. Do you remember Flash Cadillac and the symphony? That went nationwide. And then we collaborated with TheatreWorks and took Midsummer Night’s Dream to Vail, and so much more.” Those were special times, but they ended. “The staff, the board and the orchestra started to fight — there were a lot of issues,” Collins said. “I wrote my letter of resignation on Pearl Harbor Day. Scott O’Malley [at Western Jubilee Recording] had offered me a desk and a phone, so I showed up — and stayed there for 15 years.” Collins loves the arts and producing shows. “I’ve never known someone so enthralled with the actual process of producing a show: auditions, rehearsals, fundraising, promotion, working with artists, with cowboys, with patrons and communi-

ty leaders,” said Downtown Partnership CEO Susan Edmondson. “Kathleen is hardly ever in the spotlight — and that’s the way she wants it. But she is always there somewhere — backstage, or in the board meeting or tucked into the back row at a rehearsal.” Working with O’Malley, Collins spread her wings. In 1998, she helped Martile Rowland start Opera Theatre of the Rockies. “It’s obviously still at the center of my universe,” she said, “as is Martile Rowland with whom I’ve worked every single day for the last 20 years.” With cowboy poet Waddie Mitchell, she launched Ride for the Brand rodeo, featuring working cowboys from ranches. Collins’ flair for promotion was evident as she orchestrated leading longhorn cattle down Tejon Street every July to kick off the event. She also launched MeadowGrass, served on the founding board of the Bee Vradenburg Foundation and always had fun. “Colorado Springs has allowed me to raise my hand — I think I’ve been kind of useful,” she said. “It somehow worked.” Collins is far from done. She’s president of the Opera Theatre board, secretary of the Bee Vradenburg Foundation board and chatelaine of a historic house near Palmer Park. “Last year there were three baby skunks following me around,” she said. “I was terrified that mom would appear and spray me, but this year the raccoons are in the attic again. I’ve had such a life — and I’ve never been bored for one day!” CSBJ

ONE-ON-ONE

Foss named president of Corundum Group By Bob Stephens

ohn Foss has been with Corundum Group, the wealth management company within Central Bancorp, for 13 months. In late May, he was named president of the group, and Foss said he’s part of a talented team that strives to serve clients in the best way possible. A native of Fargo, N.D., he graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Dakota before moving to Colorado Springs to work for what became Deloitte & Touche as an auditor. Foss, now 60, and his wife, Brigitte, have a daughter, Danielle, 26, who works in sales in downtown Denver, and a son, Alan, 24, who is on staff with Young Life in Fort Collins. Foss spoke with the Business Journal about his promotion, what makes Corundum Group special and his travels around the world. How did you end up in South Africa and New Zealand? I was single at that time and wanted to see a little bit of the world and arranged a two-year contract with a Deloitte firm in South Africa. That was terrific and a lot of fun. I started in Johannesburg and transferred to Capetown, where I met my wife, Brigitte, who was from Belgium. I came back to Colorado Springs for a year and did some freelance work and then I took a two-year contract with Deloitte in New Zealand. Did you go on any safaris? The one I remember most was one Brigitte and I did in Botswana at the Okavango Delta, an undeveloped area. It was a rough trip, a backpacking trip with no tents, and we slept on the ground. Our leader didn’t believe in guns, so we had to take turns watching through the night, and keep the fire going so we wouldn’t get eaten, I guess. What were you doing before joining Corundum Group? I’d been with a pension plan in Colorado Springs for 22 years, a plan that was founded by the old printer’s union that used to be headquartered here. At one time it had over a billion dollars in assets. I retired from them in April 2015 and was looking for a break and a change. My wife and I wanted to travel and we did that for eight months, but we cut it short when this opportunity came up. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to work with smart and fun people. Was it an easy transition? There is a learning curve because there are a lot of moving parts and pieces. We have about $750 million in assets under management by the Corundum Group, and our sister trust company has another $400 million. I’m feeling a lot more comfortable after a year and really enjoying it.

JOHN FOSS I couldn’t resist the opportunity to work with smart and fun people.”

What brought about your promotion? Ron Johnson is chairman of the board, but he didn’t want to be president any longer. He wanted to focus on helping clients and fi nding more good investment opportunities; that’s what he’s good at, and it’s the most important thing. So he asked if I would serve as president and be responsible for the day-to-day running of the office. I’ll still be doing some of the operations things and I’ll be in charge of compliance. And I serve on the investment committee. What makes Corundum Group different? Corundum Group has the normal equity investments and bonds, but we also do a lot of alternative investments that we usually structure as private-fund limited liability companies. The difference with the alternative investments is that we’re actively setting up private funds, allowing our client to have an opportunity to invest in a particular real estate deal. We do mutual fund investing in stocks and bonds, but we try to diversify their portfolios with these alternative investments, many of which have done very well. How did Corundum Group begin? Ron and a partner set it up in 1992 to take care of one family, a wealthy family. And then another family came in and a third family. Now we have 100 clients. I think we’re one of the largest registered investment advisers in Colorado Springs. Corundum Group is under Central Bancorp, and Ron is the majority stockholder of Central Bancorp. Is this your last job? If so, how does that feel? It will be my last job. This is just a good company to work for; I really like the people and I really like the clients. I just tap-dance to work every day. CSBJ n

Leaders break ground on long-awaited Olympic Museum By Cameron Moix

undreds of Colorado Springs city officials, local leaders and advocates converged downtown last week to witness a groundbreaking for the 60,000-square-foot, $75 million U.S. Olympic Museum and Hall of Fame. The crowd gathered June 9 at the intersection of South Sierra Madre Street and Vermijo Avenue to celebrate the kickoff of construction of the museum, which is being built on land donated by Colorado Springs-based Nor’wood Development Group. Several local and state dignitaries spoke during the event, including Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers, U.S. Olympic Museum Chairman Dick Celeste, U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun and USOC Chief Organizational Excellence Officer Benita Fitzgerald-Mosley. “This is an historic and transformative day for the city of Colorado Springs and for the Pikes Peak region,” Suthers said. “Because today we break ground on the nation’s one and only Olympic Museum and Hall of Fame, and we continue to construct the foundation for our future as Olympic City USA.” When complete, the museum campus is planned to include an Olympic Hall of Fame, theater, shops and dining options — and creates a new anchor for the city’s downtown core. Upon opening, which is slated for summer 2019, organizers anticipate the facility will attract 350,000 tourists each year. “Coloradoans love sport and always have,” Hickenlooper said. “The fact that there is such a strong Olympic character in the Springs is a testament to that and something that is embraced throughout the state.” Hickenlooper also brought a proclamation that, among other things, designated June 9 in Colorado as U.S. Olympic Museum and Hall of Fame Day. “The U.S. Olympic Museum will be the place to

honor American Olympic athletes and showcase the universal values of excellence, friendship and the philosophy of the Olympic games,” Hickenlooper said in the proclamation. The Olympic Museum is part of the City for Champions project, which received seed funding through the Colorado Economic Development Commission in 2013 thanks to the state’s Regional Tourism Act. The landmark structure is being made possible by state and local funding, bank financing and private donations. Celeste said that two-thirds of the money is private. “The endeavor of bringing this museum to life has required the vision of, the hard work and the talents of world-class leaders,” said Fitzgerald-Mosley. “We’ve partnered with world-class designers and architects to build an iconic, world-class building. This museum

will sit in the shadow of Pikes Peak in the world-class city of Colorado Springs. And the museum will honor the achievements of our world-class Olympic and Paralympic athletes.” The general contractor on the project is Colorado Springs-based GE Johnson Construction Co. Among the designers working on the museum is Gallagher & Associates, a Washington, D.C.-based exhibit design firm responsible for the U.S. Spy Museum Washington D.C. and the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. In closing, Celeste invited the crowd to return to the site on June 9, 2019, to view its progress: “It will look totally different … and you will see a stunning building, which is even more stunning when you consider the experiences inside.” CSBJ n

YOUNG PROFESSIONAL

Snow wins dream job among his heroes

By Ashleigh Hollowell

itch Snow began watching the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race as a youngster, and throughout his childhood spent time memorizing facts about the race and his racing heroes. Now 23, Snow is the director of promotions and legacy for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and hasn’t missed a race since he was a child. “It was tough at first because it was trying to find a way to draw a line between being a fan and being a professional,” Snow said. “It has been a very surreal experience. Because I have been a fan for so long, one of the hardest things is not wanting to let my heroes down. You end up becoming someone that has an impact and influence in how they do build their legacy,” Snow is working on a promotional YouTube video for the race titled “Climbkhana,” with viral video creator Ken Block. It will pay tribute to a ’90s French film, “Climb Dance,” which featured footage of some of the Hill Climb’s famous racers and the original dirt road that is now paved. He is also working with a Swiss company, MatchSports, to livestream this year’s event. Trying to implement new tactics is a challenge for Snow and his co-workers since they only have one race a year. “Other organizations have multiple races throughout the year. For us, we only have one shot to try new things and get it right,” Snow said. “We don’t get two weeks’ time to adjust and fix things. Pikes Peak will throw things at you that you never expected.” Are you a native of the Pikes Peak region? I’m born and raised in Colorado Springs. I officially became involved in 2012 as an intern, but I’ve been attending the race ever since I was 4 or 5 years old. My family has been involved with the race for 50-plus years. My grandfather actually owned a local automotive shop, and he was on the technical committee for a number of years. He would host competitors from out of state and out of the country and kind of give them a home away from home. ... My father raced in 1990 before I was born.

Why did you decide to stay in this area? I would read the history and try to memorize who won the race this year and who has this record and so on and so forth. I saw it as something unique to Colorado Springs, and something that can’t be replicated in any city in the world. It’s something that is just pure that we need to show the respect it deserves and really put Colorado Springs in the national and international spotlight. I wanted to be part of that. Did you always want to work for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb? My main goal was to be a journalist. I started at [Colorado State University in] Fort Collins at the journalism school and did an internship after my first year at KKTV 11 Sports. I was able to gear our coverage for that, and I realized that this was a niche I needed to take advantage of and help grow behind the scenes instead of in front of the camera. What’s it like going from a little kid watching the race to now working for it? It’s like if you were to be a huge Broncos fan growing up and all of a sudden, at age 23, you’re in charge and have a say in how your heroes are going to add to their legacies. It’s like if you were telling John Elway what he needed to do to be ready for the next season. It has been so rewarding as a fan and to get to know these people I look up to, as a professional. What is the most difﬁcult aspect of your job? The most difficult part is caring too much. We are so limited on how much time we do have in a year and the resources to be able to get things done. We really take a huge emphasis in trying to do everything we possibly can. When you care so much about if the race succeeds, when something doesn’t go quite how you wanted, it can just be gutting, but you need to roll with the punches. What advice would you give other young professionals? To chase their dreams and not follow the status quo. If someone tells you that you need to chase this opportunity or that, just follow your heart. I use every day as a learning experience. If you’re learning, you’re developing. CSBJ n

COLORADO AND U.S. EXPECTED TO SEE MAJOR APARTMENT SHORTAGE BY 2030 Colorado is expected to need more than 100,000 new apartments by 2030 to meet a growing demand for housing, according to a recent study commissioned by the National Apartment Association and the National Multifamily Housing Council. The findings of the study, which was produced by Hoyt Advisory Services, indicate that an additional 100,485 units will need to be built in the state in the next 13 years in order to relieve market pressure that is being exacerbated by an aging population, international immigration and fewer home purchases. The study also found that the U.S. as a whole is expected to need 4.6 million new apartments by 2030. The study notes that Colorado will need a variety of apartments at different price points to support demand from demographic groups including senior citizens and delayed homebuyers. The state’s — and country’s — existing multifamily housing inventory will also require an overhaul, according to the report, which found that 51 percent of U.S. apartments were built before 1980, and there are 11.7 million units that could need renovation or improvements by 2030. Colorado is ranked No. 11 in the country in terms of projected apartment demand by 2030 and Colorado apartment developers, owners and managers and their residents contribute an estimated $15.6 billion to the state economy annually.

MOTORCYCLES AND MONEY DESCENDING ON COLORADO SPRINGS Nearly $500,000 in tourist money was expected to flow into the Colorado Springs’ economy June 10-15 thanks to the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association, a worldwide motorcycle touring club, which hosted its 2017 STAR Rally in the city. Approximately 300 members were expected to participate, according to the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau. The CVB has been assisting the group since April 2016, and MSTA members took part in several educational conferences at the Hotel Eleganté Conference and Event Center. MSTA members are motorcycle sport touring enthusiasts with a median age of about 60. Members, however, range from their late teens to late 80s. “These types of groups typically move around the U.S. to capitalize on their membership base, and entice attendees with new destinations,” said the CVB’s Director of Sports and Special Events Cheryl McCullough. “Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region is the ideal location for these types of events because we are centrally located and able to draw members in from all over the country, sometimes from all over the world.” McCullough said that Colorado Springs hosted the Studebaker Drivers Club International Meet in 2013. “The Colorado Chapter of Studebaker, which was the host group in 2013, felt the 2013 event was one of the best meets they had ever attended and decided to bring their 2017 Studebaker Zone Meet to our city this coming August,” McCullough said. According to McCullough, motorcycle and car groups often select cities based on key amenities such as location, scenery, appropriate lodging facilities with plenty of parking and host city services. “Oftentimes, these groups will reach out to their

peers for recommendations, and Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region has benefited from these recommendations because of our scenic beauty, Convention & Visitors Bureau staff relationships and customer service, our partner hotels and area attractions. Many attendees come in early or stay a few days longer to enjoy all the destination has to offer,” McCullough said. According to a CVB news release, “Each [MSTA] attendee [was] estimated to spend $1,200-$1,500 over their average stay of six days. Many attendees will [continue] to tour Colorado after the rally, extending the economic benefit to diverse areas of the state. An estimated overall economic impact for Colorado Springs is $350,000-$450,000.” Upcoming summer draws: • June 16-18 – Pikes Peak Bike Week, PPIR • June 17-18 – Pikes Peak Air Strip Attack, Colorado Springs Airport • June 16-18 – Pikes Peak Celtic Festival, Memorial Park • June 19-22 – Pikes Peak Hill Climb Tech Inspections (Hotel Eleganté), practice and qualifying (Pikes Peak) • June 21-24 – Broadmoor Open (figure skating), Broadmoor World Arena and Ice Hall • June 21-25 – Triple Crown Pathway Games, Sky Sox Stadium and various city baseball complexes • June 25 – Tejon Street Bike Fest, downtown Colorado Springs • June 23 – Pikes Peak Hill Climb Fan Fest, downtown Colorado Springs • June 25 – Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Pikes Peak • June 25-July 2 – Triple Crown Colorado Sparkler Girls Fastpitch Tournament, all city baseball complexes • June 30-July 1 – Mavic Haute Bike Race, various Sports Corp. partner hotels — Bryan Grossman

Collins said cadets find real value in the process, and in seeing tangible results from their work. “The idea that they’re working on something that is real, and that the people in the Pentagon care enough to come out here, hear them, and will change the policy accordingly — you don’t get that in an everyday math class. So there’s that exciting aspect to it.”

SMART BASES In April, the Smart Bases Design Sprint at Catalyst Campus addressed how the Air Force could leverage Internet of Things and IT commercial technologies to make Air Force bases better places to work and more energy efficient and engender a culture of continuous learning. The task, particularly relevant as USAFA and Maxwell AFB transition to smarter technologies and campuses, was tackled by representatives from the Air Force, Navy and Marines, along with industry participants. Collins said the sprint developed user stories that helped the team understand how to best use emerging “smart cities” concepts in Air Force operations, to improve mission effectiveness and airmen’s lives on smart bases of the future. User stories, which describe a software feature from an end-user perspective, help identify what cyber infrastructure is needed for planned technologies.

Collins talked through potential IoT solutions while the sprint was underway. “[For example] can you take a burden off airmen... using IoT in some way to help them be assured that their child in the Child Development Center is safe ... so that they’re focused on the mission and not on ‘What is my child doing right now?’” Collins said. It’s all about what will help the airmen day-to-day, he said. Follow-up design projects will start at USAFA in the fall.

NEXT: #AFSpaceSA A new sprint starts June 19. “The #AFSpaceSA sprint will design a solution to a big data problem that’s of huge importance to Air Force operations in space,” Collins said. “... The USAF provides GPS data for so many military and civilian uses, so it was an honor for CyberWorx to be asked by [Air Force Space Command] to pull together a design thinking sprint to come up with some good answers for improving and protecting our operations.” According to information from C-TRAC, which is partnering with CyberWorx on #AFSpaceSA, the sprint will come up with the best options for using academic, commercial and foreign data to make better decisions for operational advantage in the space domain, and will lead to an integrated Space Situational Awareness data profile.

GoG Collection ofﬁcially opens health and wellness center By Cameron Moix

n June 10 — the 66th anniversary of the Garden of the Gods Club’s opening in 1951 — the resort’s newest owners hosted a grand opening for a 30,000-square-foot facility that is just one piece of the recently rebranded Garden of the Gods Collection. Construction of the new International Health & Wellness Center was completed by general contractor GE Johnson Construction Co. in December, and the facility is now fully operational.

“The building went up remarkably fast — within a year,” said General Manager Laura Neumann. “GE Johnson knew how fast we wanted to get it up and running, so we were able to open in December.” It is being marketed by the company as a “new model in health care delivery for leisure travelers, executives and groups, with a focus on integrated and proactive care,” and offers a variety of non-invasive procedures. The 10,000-square-foot medical center (located on the main floor of the three-story facility) employs a full-

time staff that includes board-certified physicians — a cardiologist, a kinesiologist, an endocrinologist, a physical trainer and nutritionist — as well as a naturopath and “energetic practitioner.” Together, the team works to assess each patient and create a tailored health plan that could include IV therapy, a special diet and exercise routine, or chiropractic services. “This treatment would be for everyone from runners training for a race to corporate executives who are stressed and overworked,” Dr. Michael Barber, director of Medical & Cardiovascular Services, said of the IV therapy. “This helps get their levels back to where they should be.” A 10,000-square-foot spa on the top floor features nine treatment rooms and includes state-of-the-art therapy equipment such as an Austrian weightless environment bed, a salt inhalation room, an herbal sauna and high-end technologies for rejuvenation. “We already have clients on a waiting list for some spa services,” Neumann said. “The doctors are having kind of a slow start in the wellness center, almost by design — they want the chance to perfect the programs before they’re fully vetted.”

The building also features an 11,000-square-foot event center and has increased the resort’s employment by 30 full-time positions and around 100 seasonal, part-time jobs (bringing the Collection’s total employment to around 370). “Most of those [30 jobs] are professional, six-figure jobs that require a lot of education,” Neumann said of the jobs at the new facility. “Those numbers will grow when we finish our residential community, because those people living there will also want to use our services … and we’ll treat that like an extension of the resort.” The residential project is being developed on formerly vacant property south of the resort — as well as on property made vacant by the destruction of a former wing of the hotel — and will include 17 privately owned villas, six three-bedroom cottages and 14 privately owned casitas. Neumann said she expects that work to be completed by the close of 2018. The company is also working on a new 2,500-square-foot fitness center in an existing building that Communications Director Monica Smiley said should be completed next month.

INSURANCE challenge they’ve faced since opening the new facility in December is to stem the tide on public perception that the Garden of the Gods Collection is exclusive and off-limits to the public. “Many of our services are open to the public — that’s the biggest misnomer in our marketplace,” Neumann said. “For most of its life, the Garden of the Gods Club was exclusive and private, but in the last decade and a half, we’re open to the public for anyone to stay … and certainly our International Health & Wellness Center is open to the public, as well as our spa.”

PARTNERSHIPS Those at the Garden of the Gods Collection are also leveraging community and business partnerships to help ensure success. In January, the company struck a deal with Centura Health to put the new Health and Wellness Center on the health care provider’s preferred medical provider network. “Partnering with Garden of the Gods Collection as a preferred network provider supports our commitment to our mission and offers world-class health care and wellness programs to our patients and employees,” Penrose-St. Francis President and CEO Margaret Sabin said at the time. “Our clinically integrated network, Colorado Health Neighborhood, strengthens our connections with the communities we serve. Financially, these partnerships make sense as the health care sector shifts to outcome-based reimbursements.” That partnership will allow the Garden of the Gods Collection to offer a “Wellness Insurance Plan” to Centura employees, as well as its own, and is also designed to give those same employees better benefits packages with better access to care. According to Penrose-St. Francis officials, the collaboration is part of a larger move by Centura to create sustainable and affordable health care for the community. But that isn’t the company’s only successful partnership in the business community, she said. “There are so many markers that we’re seeing that indicate that being a place of health and wellness is just the destiny of our community,” Neumann said. “We have UCCS to back us, we have a partnership with [Centura Health]

and I just think the timing is right for this community.”

LOOKING BACK Since their purchase of the 260acre property and businesses in 2013, co-owners Judy Mackey and Brenda Smith have taken the resort through rebranding and a sizable series of redevelopment projects. The momentum that led to these projects began when it was announced in October 2013 that Mackey and Smith had formed a partnership to purchase the property from Sunrise Co. and Thomas Schmidt LLC, which had coowned it since 2007. It was the first time the Garden of the Gods Club had been locally owned since Hill Development Corp. — the company founded by Al Hill that built the resort in 1951 — sold it to Sunrise and Schmidt for $24.75 million in 2007, according to records from the El Paso County Assessor’s Office. Records from the same source do not indicate what Smith and Mackey paid for the property. This was the two co-owners’ first foray into resort ownership after full careers in Colorado Springs: Smith was formerly a partner at accounting firm BKD LLP and chief operating officer of First Presbyterian Church, while Mackey had been president and CEO of Benefit Services Group Inc. Neumann said that Smith and Mackey developed the concept of creating a health and wellness center after having negative experiences with modern medicine. “Brenda Smith, one of our owners, went through some medical issues in her family and was not fully satisfied with Western medicine approaches; and Judy Mackey also went through her own personal journey with those things,” Neumann said. “So the three of them [Barber, Smith and Mackey] went on a trip together … and came back with the idea to do collaborative medicine here in Colorado Springs.” Neumann said the co-owners didn’t perform studies or do market research to determine the viability of their business model. Instead, she said they used their intuition. “Judy [Mackey] has been in the health benefits business for most of her life, so she really saw what corporate employers are looking for to lessen their insurance costs and to have their workforce show up healthy,” Neumann said. “If you get them on the front end and you put them through some programs, you have a better talent pool than your competitors.” CSBJ n

Region ups efforts in health equity battle By Bryan Grossman

ia Ramirez said it’s hard to imagine, but something seemingly as insignificant as one’s ZIP code could subtract more than a decade from a lifespan. “We’re starting to see powerful data citing life-expectancy gaps between neighborhoods in the city,” said Ramirez, community partner for The Colorado Trust, a Denver-based health equity foundation. “More affluent neighborhoods can see almost a 20-year life expectancy gap within our own city.” Ramirez began in her position with the trust just over a year ago, and since last March, she has embedded herself in communities in much of central Colorado, including Douglas, El Paso and Teller counties. Today, much of the trust’s work in the region is being done in the Hillside Neighborhood, which borders landmarks such as Memorial Park and the former Gazette and St. Francis Hospital campuses. That community, along with much of southeast Colorado Springs and the 80909 neighborhood by The Citadel mall, have seen increased attention from a variety of local agencies over the last year, all with

the goal of improving those residents’ social determinants of health.

SOCIAL DETERMINANTS Health is often affected by many factors that are independent of the care received in a doctor’s office. “Factors known as the ‘social determinants of health’ can either positively or negatively impact the ability for all Coloradans to lead healthy, productive lives,” according to The Colorado Trust’s website. Those factors include safe neighborhoods, educational and job opportunities, livable wages, “and the opportunity to make decisions that affect our own and our family’s health,” the website states. “Social determinants are systematic and can’t always be measured,” according to Mina Liebert, El Paso County Public Health planner. El Paso County Public Health has been focused on the southeast’s 80916 ZIP code, where about half the families live below the federal poverty line and violent crime statistics often outpace those in the rest of the city. In 2015, a collaboration between the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, LiveWell Colorado Springs, Penrose-

St. Francis Health Services, El Paso County Public Health, Colorado Community Center Collaborative and more, was selected to receive a $75,000 grant to improve community health through the BUILD Health Challenge, a national grants program. The collaboration, known as Project ACCESS, targets geographic and demographic disparities to include proximity to services, health care and safe environments. “BUILD provided funding opportunities to five or six foundations across the nation. We were part of the initial 17 planning communities granted to look at more upstream issues of health outcomes,” Liebert said. “That means looking at why there are community and neighborhood disparities. … We listened to what people were asking for — safe spaces, places to gather and opportunities to get together. We also heard a need for jobs [skills] and life-skills development. As a result, we’ve created a partnership with Harrison School District to ensure some of those spaces. For instance, the community now has access to Zumba at Deerfield Hills [Community Center] and Panorama Middle School.” Other community-building opportunities include

a trail cleanup and an upcoming mural project with Silver Key Senior Services. The ZIP code could also benefit from CPR training within Harrison schools, and babysitting and first aid classes, so students can find employment during the summer months, Liebert said.

STARTING EARLY Pikes Peak United Way is another organization working on the front lines of social determinants of health. One program, Colorado Springs Promise, has targeted Mitchell High School and the surrounding neighborhood. “With Colorado Springs Promise, we’re starting to engage the youth in a little bit of a different way,” said Deana Hunt, PPUW senior vice president of community impact. “Over the next year we’ll be developing a youth advisory council so they can help us determine what some of the needs in the community are. Some of the things we’ve heard in brief conversations with students and at Mitchell High School specifically are concerns about safety in the neighborhoods and the [conditions of] apartments in those neighborhoods.” PPUW does not provide direct services, Hunt said, but rather directs those in need to the appropriate agencies. Through Colorado Springs Promise, however, the nonprofit has taken a more boots-on-the-ground approach in addressing social determinants of health in the 80909 ZIP code. Hunt said the Mitchell neighborhood was chosen because Colorado Springs School District 11 often takes a backseat to districts such as Harrison when it comes to social investments. “It seemed there were a lot of resources and people wanting to help [Harrison School] District 2, but not as many partnerships with District 11,” Hunt said.

“We looked at all of District 11, and Mitchell has the lowest graduation rates in the district, among typical high schools.” Hunt said Mitchell also presented the highest mobility and English-learner rates in the district. “We were shocked by the number of seniors who hadn’t been in the district their junior year, let alone further back,” she said. “The freshman rates were even higher.” The homeless rate for students at Mitchell High School is also higher than surrounding D-11 schools, she said. “We need to look at the apartments surrounding the school and their policies. We’d like to engage landlords about rental agreements and find out if there is a reason people are leaving in six months. The hope is we’ll do more of that this year.” — Theresa Hunt said, with students often working more than one job to help their family, education becomes a secondary priority and opportunities diminish. “Education, for me, is the key to move people above and beyond,” she said. “Education is an incredibly important piece that is sometimes overlooked when we talk about social determinants of health. That means ensuring everyone has access to high-quality educational opportunities. But if you don’t have that foundation of housing or access to food, you’re not able to learn either.”

more urban environments. Trujillo began a year before Ramirez, and said residents in her region are beginning to implement plans built over the past 2½ years. Trujillo said the keys to success thus far in towns like Manzanola and Avondale have involved creating a sense of ownership from within. In Avondale, for instance, community leaders decided to spend $16,000 in trust funding on staffing its local Boys & Girls Club so kids have a safe place to go after school. “There’s a lot of need down here,” Trujillo said. “In lots of ways, these communities see two Colorados, and it’s split where the El Paso and Pueblo county lines meet. The state often touts its recovery from the recession, but a lot of rural communities haven’t felt that relief.” Trujillo said, however, that there has been a “transition of power from funders determining what the community should be working on and how communities get pots of money.” Trujillo The trust, instead, aims for those communities to depend on their own analyses and draw their own conclusions on how to achieve health equity. “If they take more ownership, the solutions will be better and more relevant,” she said. But southern Colorado does, on occasion, look to its northern neighbors for guidance, Trujillo said. “Colorado Springs, as a more urban environment, sets the tone for the region,” she said. “If our neighbors do well, we do better too.” And Hunt said, no matter where poverty and health inequality exists, it will continue in perpetuity if the “haves” don’t assist the “have-nots.” “It’s incredibly hard to break the cycle of poverty,” Hunt said. “And in order for that to happen, people typically need some kind of hand up, someone to support them. I don’t think people recognize that as much as they should.” CSBJ

BY THE NUMBERS: ARE LOWER WAGES HAMPERING OUR GROWTH? Information provided by the UCCS Economic Forum

It is intuitive that in a tight labor market, wages would rise in order to attract qualified labor to available jobs. It is an elementary application of supply and demand: If demand for labor is high and supply is low, wages should rise in order to lure workers into the labor force. The problem is that this mechanism does not always work well in the short and medium run because wages are “sticky,” meaning they can take a long time to adjust to market needs. In Colorado Springs, wages appear to be particularly sticky and stubborn, and this may hinder continued growth. The current job market data in Colorado Springs MSA in April of this year showed 12,689 job openings, but only 8,304 people looking for work. This may seem like a good problem to have, but it has its downsides. The state’s economists have been saying for at least a couple of years that job and business growth overall could be more robust if businesses could find more qualified workers. Some of this dilemma is tied to the mismatch between training/education and today’s business needs, but in El Paso County, some of it is likely tied to the relatively lower wages we have. In theory, the tight labor market should be pushing wages upward; however, the latest numbers released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that wages in El Paso County did not improve in 2016. This is most likely part of the reason that total new jobs in El Paso County were a bit lower in 2016 than they were in 2015. The first graph shows that in 2013 and 2014, El Paso County finally met the number of new jobs needed to match regional population growth, which is about 5,400 new jobs per year. In 2015, we well exceeded that number at 8,004 new jobs: a 48 percent increase over 2014. With the continued high number of job postings, it seemed likely that the number of new jobs should have further increased in 2016. That did not materialize. The number of new jobs actually declined slightly in 2016 to 7,742. It is important to note the favorable job increases of the past few years are cumulative, so 48 percent increases are not likely sustainable even if businesses are thriving. However, the decline in 2016 appears to be following the trajectory of the Denver/Boulder area (2.2 percent), which has a very similar unemployment rate to ours (2.5 percent). What is different about our region, however, is that our wages are well below the Colorado average pay, and also below the U.S. average pay (see table). It will certainly be difficult for us to continue to lure people back into the labor force if our wages are not at least on par with U.S. averages. As the table shows, for the vast majority of industries, El Paso County wages lag behind Colorado and U.S. wages, and it is now evident that the wage discrepancies are likely hindering business growth via the low supply of labor. As we all know, business growth equals economic growth, so it is in our collective best interest to know about this shortcoming and wherever possible, address it. We have education levels well above the national average, and we live in a state with a plethora of diverse, booming industries. We need to have wages that attract and retain qualified labor so that our region can continue to flourish. So, if you have a meeting with your boss coming up and your business overall is a high-performing one, find your industry on the table provided and take this article with you when you ask for a raise.

Marijuana tax provides scholarships in Pueblo

etail marijuana is helping kids go to college — at least in Pueblo County. Revenue from the excise tax on retail marijuana sales has provided $420,000 for 210 high school graduates from Pueblo County to attend either Pueblo Community College or Colorado State University-Pueblo in the fall. The $2,000 scholarships are renewable each year for four years. Brandon Barber is among the 23 students who got a jump-start on the Pueblo County Scholarship Fund a year early, when the excess excise tax provided the opportunity for the 2016-17 school year. “I probably would’ve gone to college in Pueblo, but this scholarship made it an easier decision,” said Barber, who will be a sophomore in the fall. “This made it easier on my family and me to pay for college without going into debt.” Barber still has some student loans but said, “I’m really thankful for this scholarship. It shows an example of the community coming together and evolving. They’re making a lot of money on marijuana and I think what they’re doing is a step in the right direction.” Sal Pace, a Pueblo County commissioner and former state legislator, helped put a ballot measure before voters in November 2015 to use some of the retail marijuana excise tax for scholarships. “I wanted 100 percent of it to go for scholarships,” Pace said, “but we settled on a minimum of 50 percent.” Still, Pace said it’s among the most satisfying accomplishments of his political career.

“It’s the type of thing when you start a career in government, you dream of getting something meaningful done,” he said. “This sort of thing can have lasting impact for generations. “I’ve had a number of students say they wouldn’t have gone to college if they hadn’t gotten the scholarship. If there’s a couple of kids who go to college that wouldn’t have, that means we’re changing their lives, maybe changing generations of lives after them. “Plus, it helps sustain our colleges and universities.” Beverly Duran is executive director of the Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization that uses fundraising to help provide college scholarships for students of all races. She is thrilled by the opportunity to help more kids, as PHEF was chosen to administer the Pueblo County Scholarship Fund. “The idea was so innovative by the commissioners to funnel money back into our community and to these students,” Duran said. “We’ve always had so much need and not enough money every year to give scholarships to kids who wanted them. “So this was an amazing opportunity to be able to touch so many more families.” The 2017 Pueblo County Scholarship Fund consists of $369,000 from marijuana excise tax revenue and $51,000 in grant-matching funds from the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative.

Pace, however, said for the first time publicly that he is considering proposing a change. “I might try to stop the increase at 2.5 or 3 percent,” he said. “The goal is not to have the highest excise tax; it’s to do the most with our excise tax.” Pace said the tax revenue is likely to grow with large Denver retail grow businesses contem— Sal Pace plating a move to Pueblo.

Obviously, Parco said, he’s in favor of the scholarship program. “I’m extremely biased on this; you can’t have too much education,” Parco said. “We need to encourage kids to stay local once you educate them and keep that intellectual talent within our community; otherwise we’re bleeding talent.” Pace called it a “brain drain” when smart kids leave home to attend college and choose not to return to their hometown. Barber, a Pueblo Centennial High School graduate who is studying criminology with a minor in computer science, said he’s also aware of the brain drain. “A lot of bright students are leaving the state,” he said. “To do a scholarship program like this will help keep students at home and give them more of a chance to contribute to our city and its economy and well-being.”

WILL SPRINGS FOLLOW SUIT? Richard Skorman, president of the Colorado Springs City Council, said Pueblo has an innovative approach. “It definitely begs the question should we do the same thing here, and I think we should,” Skorman said. “I think we should get the money from recreational marijuana, because right now it’s being bled to other communities like Pueblo and Manitou Springs. “I’d like to see it put in front of the voters, like they did in Pueblo, to have the opportunity to make recreational marijuana legal to sell in Colorado Springs so we could capture that tax revenue. It’s revenue we should be getting, and then we can regulate it as a business, too.” Does Skorman think voters would pass a ballot measure to make retail marijuana sales legal in Colorado Springs? “The majority of the voters in Colorado Springs voted for Amendment 64,” Skorman said of the 2012 ballot measure that legalized retail marijuana in Colorado. “Now that the experiment has happened, it’s hard to know how the public feels. They may not feel as warm about it, or they may be fine. “Nationally, it’s getting more and more accepted. We’re no longer the ‘guinea pig’ state. It would be my

thought people would want to see it legal so we could capture that revenue. And here it could be significant; it could be $8 [million]-$10 million. We’re a much larger city than Pueblo, and it just depends on how many stores we allow. “It’s not just the excise tax, but it would be the sales tax we’d capture that’s now going to Manitou and Pueblo. If the voters don’t want it, then we have our answer. But we should let them vote.” El Paso County Commissioner Peggy Littleton, who served on the Colorado State Board of Education from 2004-11, recalled the Amendment 64 campaign that promised funding for financially strapped schools if retail marijuana was legalized. “The whole sales job for Amendment 64 was for the kids, right? It’s going to go for education,” Littleton said. “And so if you have a community that’s decided to maximize Amendment 64 and put some of that excise tax back into education, I can’t see that it’s a bad thing to do.” Does she anticipate El Paso County or Colorado Springs ever getting to a similar situation? “I think that would certainly be something we’d have to look at,” she said. “It would be worth considering and studying.” CSBJ n

ActivArmor breaks mold on casts I By Ashleigh Hollowell

t was an idea that grew out of a mentoring program in Pueblo — and now the concept is looking to go nationwide this year. Diana Hall, owner and founder of ActivArmor, which manufactures 3D-printed splints, was running the La Jente Mentoring Program on Pueblo’s Eastside. During her 2½ years there, among the six or seven kids she’d seen in casts, she noticed how dirty the casts became. She figured there had to be a cleaner, more durable alternative. “There would be sticks and rocks [in the casts] and they couldn’t even wash their hands to have a snack,” Hall said. “One little boy couldn’t keep his cast outside

the shower in a bag by himself and was being raised by his disabled grandparents. So, he ended up getting it wet and having permanent scarring under his cast.” Hall graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a master’s degree in chemical engineering and had some background in what it might take to manufacture a 3D-printed alternative. She began to do just that. Hall established ActivArmor in October 2014. Her idea won the first Southern Colorado Entrepreneurship Competition, hosted by the Thomas V. Healy Center for Business and Economic Research. She also won the regional Small Business Administration’s InnovateHer competition.

According to Hall, the custom splints are covered by most insurance policies and Medicaid and cost the same as a traditional splint.

BIG AMBITIONS

The splints are created when a 3D scan is done by a partnering health clinic office. A white LED light creates a map of the patient’s body and the scan is then sent to ActivArmor, where the splint is custom-fitted and shipped back in three to four business days. “It’s custom-fit within half a millimeter, and there is no movement. It is made from the same plastic as

LEGOs,” Hall said. “It’s durable and hygienic, waterproof and breathable — which makes it great for athletes.” The ActivArmor splints, registered with the Food and Drug Administration, are available in Pueblo at Parkview Medical Center’s Outpatient Rehab at the Pueblo YMCA Community Campus and at St. Mary Corwin’s Centura Health Center for Rehabilitation. They are also available at Quantum Health

Solutions in Denver. Hall said she is actively working to find a partner clinic in Colorado Springs. “The University of Maryland has helped in a lot of testing and getting these devices to the point where ... [it] is a commercial product and can be sold,” she said. Hall is the only full-time employee at ActivArmor, but she has contractual agreements with a third-party company to manufacture the custom splints and with sales representatives. The

sales representatives have been working across the nation to identify clinics that might be a good fit, she said. Hall is applying to the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade for an advanced industries grant to create jobs in the region. It’s a matching grant, and Hall has started an online funding campaign to sell equity in her business and grow the grant before her business goes nationwide. “I’m waiting for funding through the Fundable.com campaign and partners

to position me with capital to be able to then place the devices in these clinics,” she said. “There’s a lot of interest. It’s just a matter of being able to serve them now.” If Hall fi nds she’s been approved for the grant in August, she will hire 36 full-time employees in southern Colorado by the end of this year, she said, adding she expects to hire another 100 the year after that. However, if she is not approved, Hall said she still plans on hiring another full-time partner to help manage aspects of ActivArmor. Similar concepts to ActivArmor exist in other countries, but Hall said her idea has taken off because it is the only commercially available 3D-printed, custom-fit splint in the United States. But it hasn’t all been a smooth ride.

It’s durable and hygienic, waterproof and breathable — which makes it great for athletes. “The medical device industry is incredibly hard to compete in as a startup,” she said. Hall said the Pueblo community has been very supportive of her as an entrepreneur, but that as a small business in southern Colorado, there have been some difficult obstacles on the regulatory side. “The administrative red tape has been a real challenge to get through for a small business owner and a startup,” Hall said. “It would be great for more people to support startups and entrepreneurs in southern Colorado. If people would be willing to take a leap on early-stage investment and invest in people that have great ideas ... that would help a lot of people bring their ideas beyond the prototyping stage to the commercialization stage.” CSBJ

“I don’t think it would come as a standalone item to get rid of the tax exemption, but as part of major tax reform,” Childears said. “Everybody’s got to have some pain in this as we try to put the federal government on sound financial footing.” That’ll take more than getting rid of the credit union tax exemption, Dollar said. “That $3.5 billion a year won’t help much when the national debt is $20 trillion,” Dollar said. “That would be like trying to empty the Pacific Ocean with a Dasani water bottle.” Still, Ashley contends that credit unions have strayed from their original purpose. “Over time, I would argue — and many bankers would — that as the credit unions grew, they lost sight of what that original purpose was, to help that tight community that was under-served,” Ashley said. “Competition is good, but competition on an unlevel playing field is tough.” Still, both can prosper. “It seems from the time that credit unions and banks have co-existed that the market is big enough to support both models,” said Victoria Selfridge, Ent’s vice president of corporate communications. “And banks have had record profits so far this year. This [credit union] model has a solid track record, and the fact that Ent and other credit unions are growing shows that there is an appetite and that we are meeting

a slice of demand that is in the market.” Mark Martinez, regional manager of Navy Federal Credit Union and a Springs resident, doesn’t see this as banks versus credit unions. “I think there’s something for everybody and it’s really a matter of personal preference and you should go where you get treated right,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a winner or a loser or a right or a wrong. There are different strokes for different folks.” CSBJ n

PIKES PEAK BREWING CELEBRATES SIX YEARS Celebrating six years of business, Monument-based Pikes Peak Brewing Company will mark the occasion with an anniversary festival on Saturday, June 17. The all-day event will highlight six years of business and showcase its relationship with the local community. In a half dozen years, PPBC has brewed more than 10,000 barrels of beer, which equates to 310,000 gallons. In 2016, the brewery was listed as one of the highest-producing craft brewpub in Colorado and ranked No. 38 for brewpubs nationally. Chris Wright, founder and owner of PPBC, recently expanded his brewery.

Submit items for Kudos, Business Briefs or People on the Move to editorial@csbj.com.

Wright added 6,000 square feet and a new 30-barrel brew house. Wright and his crew will now have an annual capacity of 13,000 barrels. “That will put us where we want to be as far as our size in the state,” Wright said late last year, adding the increased production capability will allow them to negotiate a space for his beer at both independently owned liquor stores and national chains. The veteran-owned business employs 29 staff members and its beer is featured in 124 restaurants and 195 liquor stores in 19 counties throughout Colorado. The all-day event will kick off at 11 a.m. with a special beer release, Rocky Wheat, an original creation from when PPBC’s doors first opened.

Building support for nonproﬁts

ur southern Colorado nonprofit community hosts hundreds of galas, luncheons and golf tournaments each year, and every event counts on sponsorships for revenue. But let’s face it, business owners and marketing directors tend to sigh when another proposal crosses their inbox. In our community, sponsorship has traditionally been transactional. Your business partner, fellow parishioner, neighbor S T A F F O R D or golf buddy is on the event committee and asks you to purchase a table at a gala or fi ll a foursome at a golf tournament. Purchase a gala table, and you’ve checked off the donation box for the year. But times and trends in sponsorship are changing rapidly due to generational norms, shrinking community relations and marketing budgets, and a growing interest in social return on investment. As the workforce shifts from Boomers to Gen-Xers to Millennials, companies are increasingly having trouble filling seats at event tables. Invitations to sit at a corporate table used to be a way to climb the ladder; now it can be a chore. At the same time, companies and their employees want to see the impact their dollars have on the community. For many businesses, there isn’t the money in the budget to pay for multiple community sponsorships throughout the year and support employee morale and engagement. Where and how should a company invest its limited dollars? Corporate giving is evolving. According to a recent Giving USA report, while corporate giving has continued to climb steadily with an increase of 2.2 percent adjusted for inflation, it still has not reached the pre-recession high in 2005. Corporations appear to be looking at new ways of giving, like corporate sponsorships and employee volunteer programs. Enter the nonprofit fundraiser and employee engagement event hybrid. For example, on June 24, Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation will host its third annual Climb for Courage stair climb race and family festival at the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Falcon Stadium. When the foundation started brainstorming and researching an appropriate signature event in Colorado Springs, we were intentional about launching

CSU ‘partner for our community’ T he rising cost of energy is a serious concern of manufacturing and other businesses in the Colorado Springs area. We at JPM Prototype & Mfg. Inc. are constantly looking for JEFFRE Y new ways to keep the lights on and the spindles turning. Colorado Springs Utilities offered to help, but was the offer real? I suspected it was not. After all, its revenues increase when I pay more for energy, right? Why would it partner with me to reduce its revenues? As a member of Colorado Advanced Manufacturing Alliance South, I and others were tasked with exploring ways energy costs could be reduced. After months of frustration with efforts at my own business, I decided to take CSU up on its offer. We started with CSU’s energy audit to identify where energy consumption was

an event that made sponsorship more than a transactional experience for corporate partners, instead deeply engaging their employees and their families. The core of the event is a stair climb race, taking timed racers up and down each of the 2,700 steps at Falcon Stadium, for a total of 1.7 miles. Knowing that not every potential sponsor or participant may be interested in tackling this level of physical challenge, we established an untimed Fun Wave on the lower level of the stadium. Also knowing that we wanted a comprehensive event, the foundation established a family festival and looked to sponsors to partner with family-friendly, hands-on activities. Other organizations now offer event opportunities for employee engagement including Trails and Open Spaces’ Starlight Spectacular, which provides vouchers for sponsors’ employees (level-dependent). The event bolsters much of what we love as Coloradoans — cycling, outdoor activity and the use of bikeways, and often gets individuals back on a bike after not riding for years. Instead of a “one-and-done” moment, consider creating an experience for attendees and employees. No company embraces its sponsorship better than GE Johnson Construction Co., an employee-owned company based in Colorado Springs and general contractor for the new Children’s Hospital Colorado-Colorado Springs. GE Johnson has decided to open up the opportunity to climb to its employees and their families. They have a team of more than 40 strong, comprised of company leadership and front-line employees from across the state. They bring several branded tents and host an interactive booth at the family festival as well as an event headquarters for their employees. In 2016, they created a hashtag specific to the event for their team and encouraged employees to post on social media. They produced branded team shirts, hairbands and cups. Employees are eager to spend a few hours of their Saturday morning enjoying the festive atmosphere, with the knowledge that their company is making an impact on an organization that they can all rally behind.

occurring within my business. Once we determined what areas to target, we worked with CSU on a custom rebate program. With the help of this rebate, we were able to purchase a new energy-efficient air compressor and install LED lighting throughout our facility. There was a cost associated with these two upgrades, but it was more than offset by the astonishing results. First, we were able to see a three-year return on investment on both the compressor and lighting with CSU paying for a good portion of the cost of the project. Second, the maintenance cost for both was significantly reduced. Third, the upgrade put us into a lower energy rate category. This third benefit was significant for us. Before the upgrade, we were just over the 1,000 Kw-hour average, pushing us into a higher rate bracket. By keeping an eye on usage over the past

two months, we were able to drop to around 850 Kw hours, thus keeping us well below that higher rate category. I have shed my doubts about CSU’s offers to help. I discovered that CSU is in fact a partner for our community, and it is willing and eager to assist businesses in finding ways for reducing energy costs. It is a win-win partnership. But don’t take my word for it. Seek out your account representative, sit down and discuss how CSU can help save energy and reduce rates. We did, and are reaping the benefits now and will do so far into the future. I have come to appreciate that we have a top-rated and supportive utility company right here in our own backyard. It is good business to get to know them. Dave Jeffrey is the owner and president of JPM Prototype & Mfg. Inc. He can be reached at djeffrey@jpmprototype.com.

Cyber: PPCC prepares tomorrow’s young workforce From page 1

the door to a more robust cybersecurity pipeline in the Springs. “What we’ve learned is we’re one of the few places in the country trying to do this,” Sagen said.

BEATING OBSTACLES Most obstacles arise from interns’ ages, and include labor law and human resource issues, paperwork and high school credit, lack of teacher supervision for summer internships, and the need for a centralized coordination model (to avoid overwhelming employer

partners with calls from multiple school districts). PPCC’s Cyber Prep team, which developed the program, took the hurdles one by one: They sought expertise from employer partner Boecore Inc. on labor law compliance; they hired Colorado Springs School District 11 cybersecurity instructor Bill Tomeo to oversee interns and field employer questions; and they drew administrative paperwork and high school credit requirements from District 11, Academy District 20 and Peyton’s school district. PPCC acts as the coordinating organization. Sagen said the few other high school

cybersecurity internships around the country usually consist of high school instructors helping students undertake work experience at the school district or as a group project during class time. This is different, Sagen said. “The students in this internship program are paid by the company; they’re earning a wage,” she said. “We are giving the companies a $500 stipend to help defray the cost of paying their students.” PPCC’s employer partners are excited about the program’s potential and the quality of the interns. “I was floored. ...

viewed these young people that are 17, 18 — the maturity level, the energy level, what they understand about technology … is absolutely amazing,” said BONVALLET Patty Bonvallet, technology development manager for Boecore. Bonvallet said Boecore has college internships, but there is “no way” they could have established a high school internship alone. “When we learned they were going to be providing internships for ... high school students ... it was absolutely intriguing and exciting and something we know is desperately needed, so we wanted to be part of that,” she said. Bonvallet said PPCC’s experts knew how to define the necessary skills and competencies and how to implement a phased approach to training that would see students, in the long term, earn certifications and degrees applicable to the cybersecurity industry.

REAL WORLD PROGRAM Sean Kearney, vice president of gaming, simulation and innovation for TechWise, said he was thrilled PPCC took the initiative to launch the program. “They’ve brought in some amazing people with a lot of industry experience to put together a program that’s really based in preparing people for the real world, so that’s impressive,” he said. KEARNEY Kearney said the internship program was “somewhat in the proof-of-concept phase,” and he expected companies would jump at the chance to become employer partners. He said internships are among the best ways for high school students to be “exposed to a significant industry that’s completely undersourced.” Sagen said the Cyber Prep team found high school students are succeeding with PPCC’s college-level curriculum. “If a high school student says in the 10th or 11th grade, ‘I know this is really what I want to be doing,’ they have the skills at that point in their lives to start doing this work seriously,” Sagen said. To be on board for the first internships, students submitted resumés and companies self-selected. After a day of interviews, prospective interns and employers ranked their choices. Each company built their own program based on the internship best practices for employers provided by PPCC, so each internship is different. “We see a lot of hope ... that we can start influencing these young people and really bring them up through our workforce and produce some fine professionals that are going to help the industry and help the local economy,” Bonvallet said. So far six companies and seven interns have signed on, and the Cyber Prep team is in talks with other potential employer partners.
