Ossining Mayor Bill Hanauer at the Avalon at Ossining development.

Fairfield County-based company that owns and operates six assisted living and memory care services for the elderly in Connecticut plans to expand into the Westchester County market starting with a proposed $26 million project in Mount Kisco. Maplewood Senior Living L.L.C. of Westport is seeking to build at least 90 senior assisted living units on a 5.7-acre parcel owned by Radio City Ventures L.L.C. The property on Morgan Drive, off Radio Circle Drive, has been vacant for 29 years. The area had been zoned as an industrial park and demand for uses in manufacturing, research and development and warehousing facilities has declined over time, Charles Martabano, Maplewood’s attorney, stated in a Jan. 14 letter to Mayor Michael J. Cindrich. The developer discussed the project at a Jan. 22 meeting of the Mount Kisco Village Board of Developer, page 6

Paul Feiner said of the response to his pitch to state officials to name the Hudson River bridge after the folk singer and environmental activist, who died Jan. 27 at the age of 94. Within several hours after the Business Journal first reported his proposal on its website, westfaironline.com, Feiner said he was “swamped with emails and phone calls from Pete Seeger fans who are excited about the possibility.” At westfaironline, comments poured in from

readers who enthusiastically backed Feiner’s idea. “Absolutely a fitting tribute to a gentle man and humanitarian, who loved New York and all its beauty. …A wonderful idea!” wrote Ronnie Campbell, president and owner of The Burrell Group Ltd. in New York City. “This is perhaps the most wonderful way to honor the man who saved our beautiful river,” Legend, page 3

Developments bode well for a downtown’s revival BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ssining Mayor William R. Hanauer likes to stop on his daily rounds at the Douro Café, a Portuguese bakery and coffee shop on a Main Street block at the heart of the village’s business community of Portuguese immigrants. Opened in August 2012, the pastry-redolent shop has become one of the reasons to head downtown after decades of commercial and structural decline in a village that celebrated its bicentennial last year. “My goal when I came in as mayor was to tie the waterfront to the downtown and make it a real downtown – and it’s happening,” Hanauer said over an afternoon cup of coffee. Largely halted in the Great Recession, that revitalized Ossining is again a work in progress. Some pieces of the interconnected work are falling into place more rapidly than others this year. At their Jan. 23 board meeting, Westchester County Industrial Development Agency directors elated Hanauer and developer Martin Ginsburg when they approved approximately $4.7 million in sales and mortgage tax exemptions for Harbor Square, the long-stalled, estimated $86.3 million mixed-use development of Ginsburg Development Cos. L.L.C. in Valhalla. The transit-oriented project, on a 3-acre site near the Ossining Metro-North Railroad station, will include 188 market-rate and affordable apartments in a six-story building and a 200seat restaurant on the Hudson. Expected to break ground this year, it will create 300 construction jobs over a 34-month period and 36 permanent restaurant and apartmentcomplex jobs, according to the developer’s IDA application. One block up from the Douro Café at 145-155 Main St., a five-story, 31-unit apartment building with ground-floor retail and restaurant space is rising this winter behind a green plywood construction fence. The Stagg Group, a residential development company based in Mount Vernon that has specialized in affordable housing in New York City and Westchester, acquired the vacant parcel from

the village last year. “This is our third or fourth attempt” to redevelop the property, said Hanauer, after a ravaging fire there more than 15 years ago. Snow and frigid temperatures and structural engineering problems posed by an adjacent 19th-century building have caused construction delays, he said. Still the brick building, designed to blend with surrounding architecture on a distinctive crescent-shaped stretch of Main Street, is expected to be ready for occupancy by May or June this year, said Ingrid Richards, the village’s manager of downtown and economic development. Richards said tentative market rental rates in the Stagg building as of last spring ranged from $1,100 to $1,200 for onebedroom units and from $1,400 to $1,500 for two-bedroom apartments. Mark Stagg, founding president of The Stagg Group, could not be reached for comment. “When the market dropped” in the recession, said Hanauer, “it set us back, as it set everyone back. Now things are moving much faster than they ever have.” That progress is most evident this winter to the north of downtown on Route 9, the village’s North Highland Avenue.

bedroom, 74 two-bedroom and 18 threebedroom apartments – in four new buildings erected on the razed site of the former BASF Corp. office and laboratory complex. Layered with a river town’s history, the 21-acre property is crossed by the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail. An architectural survivor in stone of grand life on the Hudson, the Kane Mansion, is being restored by Avalon workers. Built in 1843, the historic house is being renovated as Avalon’s permanent leasing office and for recreational use by tenants, said Todd Nicotra, development director at the AvalonBay Communities regional office in Fairfield, Conn. “We’re pleased with the progress” at the Ossining site, where foundations were poured last April, Nicotra said. The first completed building near the Route 9 entrance to the development will be open for occupancy in the first week of February. “We’re on budget” for the $37.4 million project, he said.

Hanauer said the village the previous day held a public lottery for the 17 affordable apartments that Avalon was required to include in the project. Priced for residents whose household income amounts to 80 percent of the average median income in Westchester, the apartments attracted 105 applicants. “This is the first high-end residential that we have in Ossining,” said Hanauer. Standard monthly rental rates at Avalon at Ossining range from $1,785 and up for one-bedroom units, $2,275 and up for two-bedroom units and from $2,600 to $3,020 for three-bedroom apartments. Nicotra said Avalon “has done a lot of pre-leasing,” with some tenants signed for March, April and May occupancies. Though it’s still early “to have an overall picture” of Avalon’s tenant mix, Nicotra said many who signed leases to date already live or work in Westchester County. He said he does not think New York City commuters – target tenants for Ginsburg’s development at Harbor Square – “will be a large part of the population” at the Avalon complex. Hanauer said the Avalon development “will take some pressure off the current residents in town of tax payments. It will also bring people downtown to eat at the restaurants and shop” at its retail stores. When both Avalon at Ossining and Harbor Square open, “What I see is a village that is a positive place for the people that are current residents to come downtown and enjoy being downtown as they did in the ’40s…It will bring in new residents who will relieve the tax burden for everyone else,” he said. “You have to have a critical mass of people living downtown in order to bring more businesses,” the mayor said. “That is one of the goals. Commerce follows population.”

wrote Varda Amdur, owner of Varda Amdur Promotions Ltd. in Tarrytown. “Pete’s contributions to saving our environment were rooted in his love of the Hudson River Valley. Let us join Paul Feiner’s lead and reach out to the governor to promote this brilliant idea. Why name a bridge for a politico when you can name it after a truly great American?” Other readers suggested the Tappan Zee span linking Rockland and Westchester counties be named the Pete Seeger Clearwater Bridge. A Dutchess Junction resident for more than six decades, Seeger in 1969 launched the Clearwater, a 106-foot sloop built at his expense that sailed the Hudson as a crusading vessel for the cleanup of the industrially polluted river. He founded the Beacon-based nonprofit Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a leading environmental organization in legal actions and public education efforts to restore the river and protect its ecology. In the late 1940s Seeger built a log cabin on his 17-acre property overlooking the Hudson in Dutchess County, for which he reportedly paid $100 an acre. A family member said he had been chopping wood at his home just 10 days before his death, according to one published report. A leading figure in the American folk music revival in the decades after World War II, Seeger wrote songs that became anthems of the civil

rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s, including “We Shall Overcome,” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “If I Had a Hammer.” An undaunted activist who wove political statements and social justice messages into traditional folk songs, Seeger in the 1950s was blacklisted from performing on television and in commercial concert venues for his left-wing politics and affiliation with the Communist Party. His 1961 conviction on contempt of Congress charges was later overturned by an appeals court. Calling Seeger “a New York icon and folk music legend,” Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in a statement mourning his loss said he “used his music to make our society and state a better place. He was a champion of civil rights, labor, peace and the environment who used his influence to try and improve the country we live in. As we continue to make New York state the progressive capital of the nation, we are proud to have been the place Pete called home.” Feiner said he sent letters to the governor and the Westchester delegation in the state Legislature urging them to name the new bridge in Seeger’s honor. The first span is scheduled to open in 2016 and the approximately $4 billion project is scheduled for completion in 2018 by Tappan Zee Constructors L.L.C. The nearly 60-year-old existing bridge in 1994 was renamed in honor of the late Gov.

Malcolm Wilson, a Yonkers resident who served 15 years as lieutenant governor under Nelson Rockefeller. Instead of a politician, said Feiner, the new Tappan Zee bridge should bear the name of an environmentalist who “did so much for the river.” “Pete Seeger was a leader in environmental causes,” he said. “When one thinks of the Hudson River and the environment one of the first names we think of is Pete Seeger.” One day after floating his proposal, Feiner said three online petitions had been started by residents of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island urging Cuomo and state legislators to name the bridge in Seeger’s memory. “It’s on Albany blogs,” he said. Bill Swersey, a digital technologist in Manhattan who was raised in Westchester, said he “felt a real pang of emotion” when he awakened to the news of Seeger’s death.

played to him, “made a huge impact on me.” A former photographer at Gannett newspapers in Westchester, Swersey said he had never before created on online petition. But hearing about Feiner’s proposal among the flood of radio tributes to Seeger in the wake of his death, he decided to start one at change.org. Like Feiner’s letter, the fast-accumulating collected signatures of supporters will be sent to Cuomo and members of the state Senate and Assembly. “Twitter has been really helpful,” Swersey said. “On Twitter, the right person with a large following can multiply your impact very, very quickly.” Swersey said he’s received a few comments dismissing the proposed naming. One person said Seeger himself would not want his name on a bridge that is being built without mass transit lanes to reduce its heavy car and truck traffic. One wit suggested the singing activist would be more aptly honored if the Tappan Zee span was named the Pete Seeger Causeway. “I didn’t ever think that it was really going to get any reaction,” Feiner said. “It’s really captured people’s imagination. This is one of those things that’s taken on a life of its own, and with this grassroots movement maybe they (Albany officials) will think about doing this when they weren’t originally.” “I think it’s something that will be exciting for the bridge,” he said. “While crossing, it will inspire thoughts of what we can do individually and collectively to keep the river clean.”

SUNY looks to save $500K on energy bills BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfaironline.com

ov. Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced a partnership between New York Power Authority and 10 State University of New York campuses to undertake $80 million worth of energy efficiency projects. Through these projects, all 10 campuses, including Purchase College, will save an estimated total of $3.5 million per year on their energy bill and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 21,000 tons annually. Purchase College is projected to save more than $490,000 per year and reduce carbon emissions by about 2,000 tons annually. The partnership supports Cuomo’s Build Smart NY initiative that he launched in December 2012. The program outlines strategies to help state agencies raise the total energy efficiency level of state buildings by 20 percent by 2020. This includes monitoring energy use in state buildings, executing master plans to reduce energy consumption and providing resources to implement the projects. “Under Build Smart NY, we are ensuring that New York state government is reducing our impact on the environment and saving taxpayers money,” Cuomo said in a statement. He added that the NYPA-SUNY partnership aims to undertake energy efficiency projects that create job opportunities in clean energy. The SUNY campus system alone consumes about 40 percent of energy among New York’s state-owned buildings, said Gil C. Quiniones, president and CEO of the New York Power Authority (NYPA), a public benefit corporation and the largest stateowned power organization. He said the partnership with SUNY allows NYPA to provide loans that help finance the project costs. “NYPA provides low-cost financing,” Quiniones said. “We lend the schools money, and the projects produce energy and operational savings that give SUNY a net positive cash flow over the next 10 to 15 years.” Purchase College invested more than $22 million in several projects last year. The school installed an $11 million replacement of a 40-year-old chiller with an ice-storage system to provide cooling and ventilation throughout campus buildings. The university also invested $10 million to replace a 40-yearold heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to keep the temperature stable at the school’s Neuberger Museum of Art. “The university system is by virtue a demonstrator of intellectual leadership,” Purchase College President Thomas J. Schwarz said. “The benefit is not just about dollars and cents. But it’s about climate benefit and human welfare.”

Astorino says collaboration key to economic growth BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

ounding a political mantra of “collaboration” at the start of his second term in office, Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino said his “fast-acting, pro-business” administration will continue to work closely with the private sector to promote economic growth in the county. Savoring his more than 12-point margin of victory in the November election and citing the roles of county development agencies in leveraging business and nonprofits’ investments that retained and added private-sector jobs here, Astorino spoke to a breakfast audience of about 300 Westchester County Association members and guests Jan. 23 at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown. Likely disappointing some in his audience, he made no mention of his expected run for governor this year as the Republican Party’s candidate against the heavily favored Democratic incumbent and fellow Westchester resident Andrew M. Cuomo. Astorino indirectly joined Cuomo’s many critics reacting this week to the governor’s recent remark during a radio interview that “extreme conservatives” have “no place in the state of New York.” Noting “the ‘we’ in Westchester,” the county executive said he had learned “the power of collaboration” in his first four-year term, reaching

out to ethnic and racial minorities that historically have not voted Republican. “Whether you are liberal, moderate or conservative, there is always a place for you in Westchester,” he said. Astorino said fees paid to the county Industrial Development Agency by businesses granted tax exemptions and other financial incentives for their job-creating projects are a “growth dividend” used by the IDA to support small businesses through SCORE Westchester, the Women’s Enterprise Development Center and the Procurement Technical Assistance Center for government contracts. He said the IDA this year will also support the WestchesterPutnam Workforce Investment Board and One-Stop Employment Center and Community Capital New York, the nonprofit alternative lender to small businesses. He said $100,000 of IDA revenue will be used to launch Hire Westchester, a Workforce Investment Board program. It will pay employers up to 50 percent of the cost of on-the-job training for hired workers, with a maximum payment of $20,000 per business. Astorino, a member of the state Thruway Authority’s mass transit task force for the new Tappan Zee Bridge, said he will continue to push for rapid transit lanes on the bridge and along the Interstate 287 corridor. “We need to build a bridge that can help serve as a catalyst for bringing business to Westchester.”

Mortgage tax revenue hits 5-year high Westchester County’s mortgage tax receipts rose nearly 23 percent in 2013 from the previous year, as the county’s recovering real estate market lifted tax revenue from residential and commercial property deals to the highest level since 2008. The county clerk’s office reported collecting $16.9 million in mortgage taxes last year, an approximately $3.2 million increase from 2012. State, county and local tax revenue were still 12 percent below total mortgage tax collections in Westchester in 2008. In 2005, the peak year for the coun-

ty real estate market before the Great Recession, mortgage tax revenue totaled $39.8 million, more than double the 2013 total, according to the county clerk’s office. Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni in a press release said the 2013 mortgage tax figures “reflect a very robust third quarter real estate market, followed by a December drop-off similar to yearend declines in 2011 and 2012.” Idoni said it is difficult to predict the immediate impact of stricter mortgage financing rules that took effect in January. – John Golden

Citrin Cooperman Corner 2014: The Year of the Entrepreneur By William T. Conron, CPa CiTrin CooPerman With the start of a new year, entrepreneurs are eager to know what the market is like for starting a new business and the steps they need to take to help turn their vision into a reality. UPBEAT BUSINESS CLIMATE There is no question that the environment for starting a business is now the best it has been in recent years. We make this assessment based on the economic outlook of our clients and input Christian Morris from funding resources in the region. In addition to an improved financing picture, both the private and public sectors seem to have an increased appetite for funding early-stage businesses. That said, it is vitally important that aspiring entrepreneurs do their homework before launching their business enterprise. For that reason, we have put together the following recommended action plan. William T. Conron, CPA

HOW TO SUCCEED IN 2014 • Don’t be afraid of failure. Starting a business is difficult. Understand that you are going to face many hurdles. Successful entrepreneurs take risks and know that failure is an obstacle they will have to overcome to attain their goals. • Make sure your concept is sound and economically viable. Is there an existing market for your product? Who is your competition? How many competitors do you have? Who are your prospective customers? What is the annual revenue of the market? • Structure is important. Each business structure has advantages and disadvantages that should be considered at the time of formation. • Seek the proper type of funding. You will eventually require some form of outside investment. Which form of outside investment is right for you and your business? Each form affects you and the business differently. State grants generally require a matching equity contribution and a commitment to increase jobs within the business. Traditional bank financing may require preparation of financial statements. Angel & venture capital reduce the founder’s ownership of the business. • Seek funding when the time is right. “Timing is everything,” notes Christian Morris, entrepreneur and managing partner of SmartPath Labs. “Many successful entrepreneurs bootstrap their startup or begin their new venture as a part-time business. This gives them time refine the product, provide market validation, and make early mistakes on

their own dime. Many public and private programs will not consider a company’s application for grants or financing until it has been an active business for at least a year.” • Practice your pitch. Keep in mind that you will be among many vying for the attention of investors, which makes it imperative that your business plan and pitch clearly describe your value proposition and distinguish your product or service from the competition. • Leverage social media to reach your audience. Social media will play a significant role in growing your business. Determine which social media platforms—Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or a combination of these and others— will be best to attract and engage your desired audience. Video is also a critical medium. “There are 100 hours of new video content uploaded to YouTube every minute. One company, dollarshaveclub. com, used their entire marketing budget on this one medium, with great success,” adds Christian. • Have a cause. Supporting a local charitable organization is a great way to increase visibility and build goodwill in the community. Donating your time will not only make you feel good about yourself but will often lead to recommendations and business referrals. The cause should mean something to you personally to keep you engaged. Christian, whose father himself was an entrepreneur and passed away three years ago from cancer, is a board member of Sound Affects Life, a non-profit that provides grants to earlystage bio entrepreneurs in oncology. • Seek advice from a colleague or even a potential competitor. Many successful entrepreneurs collaborate with their competition to achieve mutually beneficial business goals. Being open-minded is a key to survival in an ever-changing business climate. While success is never guaranteed, 2014 could turn out to be a banner year for those passionate about starting a new business.

Trustees. If the application is approved, Maplewood could be the first provider of assisted senior living care in Mount Kisco. “For the last couple of years, we’ve been trying to get into the Westchester County market,” Maplewood CEO Gregory Smith said. “Westchester is adjacent to Fairfield, where a lot of our existing projects are. From a growth perspective, this has been a normal transition, and we were even looking in Mount Kisco at another site earlier. We went through the majority of the exercise of figuring out if the Mount Kisco market was viable. It proved to be so, but the real estate portion didn’t come to fruition.” Smith said that village of Mount Kisco officials were adamant about finding the right location for the project. “The first meeting we had with the Mount Kisco village board a year and a half ago, we left a good impression, and they pursued us,” Smith said. “To get seven or eight board members to drive over from Mount Kisco to Connecticut and have lunch with us was a very positive thing. They spent a decent amount of time with us and saw the quality of services we provided in our senior living facilities. They felt we would be the right fit for the village and were excited about the

prospect of us coming to Mount Kisco.” In Connecticut, Maplewood operates facilities in Darien, Danbury, Bethel, East Norwalk, Newtown and Orange. “We provide three programs on differ-

surface parking or garage parking, which requires creating an elevated structure,” said James Palmer, Mount Kisco village manager. “They also discussed the need to fix the existing site, which is a designated brownfield. An application was submitted to work with the Department of Environmental Conservation and have the site contamination remediated.”

Smith said the site used to be a water sewage treatment facility. It is currently zoned a research and development district. Although the village board didn’t take action at the last meeting, Palmer said the board was expected to vote on whether to refer Maplewood’s application to the planning board at the next meeting. But the Maplewood project is not alone in the Mount Kisco market. Just nearby, another developer, The Hearth at Mount Kisco, has proposed building a 129-unit senior assisted living facility on Kisco Avenue. The application awaits site plan approval from the village planning board, Palmer said. Despite the potential competition, Smith said he welcomes it. “We’ve done market studies and gone through the premarket approval process,” Smith said. “There’s certainly enough demand in the Westchester and Mount Kisco market to support our project and another project. There’s enough for everyone to go around.” He added that market research shows the demand for assisted senior living care is especially unmet in southern and central Westchester, where Smith said Maplewood plans to develop about six to eight projects in the next three to five years. Maplewood is currently pursuing two or three more senior assisted living projects in Manhattan.

region’s unemployment rate ticks down BY MARK LUNGARiELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

he Hudson Valley’s unemployment rate hit 5.5 percent in December, down from 5.8 percent in November and down substantially from 7.4 percent in 2012, according to the latest numbers from the state Department of Labor. Of the 10 labor market regions in the state, the Hudson Valley trailed only Long Island, which at 5.1 percent had the lowest unemployment rate in New York. “The Empire State’s economy continued to provide us with good news in December 2013,” said Bohdan M. Wynnyk, deputy director of the Labor Department’s Division of Research and Statistics. According to the department’s statistics, there were 60,800 unemployed in the region in December 2013, down from 64,700 in November and down from 82,600 in December 2012. Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties were among the 10 counties in the state with the lowest unemployment rates. Westchester and Rockland had rates of 5.2 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively.

Putnam and Rockland saw rates of 4.8 percent and 4.9, respectively, the third and fourth lowest rates in New York. Only Tompkins and Nassau counties had better unemployment rates, with 4.1 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively. From December 2012 to December 2013, the downstate area of Putnam, Rockland and Westchester saw a net growth of 3,000 total nonfarm jobs, or 0.5 percent, and a net gain of 4,400 private sector jobs, or 0.9 percent. According to Johny Nelson, a market analyst with the Labor Department, the growth in the three-county area was supported by a strong education and health care sector, up 2 percent or 2,400 jobs in total. The 10-county downstate region, which includes New York City and Long Island, saw private sector job growth of 2.6 percent over the same time span. New York City’s job growth was the most rapid at 2.8 percent. Bronx County, though, did have the worst unemployment rate in the state in December, with a 10.6 percent rate. It was the only county in New York state to have an unemployment rate that touched double digits, though Hamilton and Jefferson counties upstate exceeded the 9 percent threshold.

The Hudson Valley saw private sector employment remain relatively flat from December 2012 to the close of 2013,

with a gain of 600 jobs, a 0.1 percent increase. The region’s employment gains came most from transportation and utilities, with the addition of 2,300 jobs. The most job losses in the region came in the manufacturing industry, which saw the loss of 1,600 jobs. The government sector, which has seen the largest declines state-

wide over the time period, lost 2,700 jobs in the Hudson Valley alone. Statewide, 13,200 government jobs were lost and an additional 8,700 jobs were lost in manufacturing. Most other counties in the region fared better than the statewide average, with only Sullivan County breaking the 7 percent mark, with 7.9 percent in December. Dutchess, Orange and Ulster came in at 5.9 percent, 5.9 percent and 6.5 percent, respectively. Those numbers were significantly better than the statewide average of 7.1 percent, which was the state’s lowest rate since January 2009. The state makes up about 6.5 percent of all jobs in the country, according to the Labor Department, and gains in 2013 represented 12 percent of all private sector job growth in the country. New York’s private sector jobs increased by 109,900 year over year, which the department said brought the total job count to a record high of 7.5 million. The industries with the largest job gains statewide were educational and health services, with 52,300 jobs added since the end of 2012, and trade-transportation and utilities, which gained 35,900 jobs.

Benchmark Education Co. has relocated its headquarters from Pelham to penthouse office space in downtown New Rochelle. GHP Office Realty L.L.C. announced the educational publisher has leased a 28,132-square-foot space on the eighth floor of 145 Huguenot St., GHP’s 300,000-squarefoot class A building across from New Roc City. The company signed a 10-year lease. Jamie Schwartz, executive vice president of GHP, represented the landlord in the deal. Cushman & Wakefield broker Matthew Lisk represented the tenant. Schwartz said the transaction, which closed in December, was the largest deal in

Seven months after launching its international loan program for small and mediumsize businesses in the U.S., HSBC Bank USA N.A. announced it would double the lending program to $2 billion. HSBC officials said the bank reached its initial $1 billion target within six months of the program’s launch last July for new business clients looking to export or expand internationally. “The program has really struck a chord,” Steve Bottomley, HSBC group general manager and regional head of commercial banking for North America, said in the announcement. “We’ve seen interest from a wide variety of U.S. companies and industries that are eager to seize the opportunity to tap

fast-growing markets around the world to grow and compete.” HSBC officials said the bank’s most recent Global Connections Trade report predicts that growth for American exporters will come more from emerging markets than from developed economies in coming years. While Canada, China and Mexico will remain top export markets, Brazil and India by 2030 are expected to supplant Japan and the United Kingdom among the five largest buyers of U.S. products. The bank’s international loan program is available to businesses that have $3 million to $500 million in annual revenue and are focused on cross-border trading or global expansion. Only applications for new business loans are accepted and all of HSBC’s usual credit and lending criteria apply.

groUp tAKeS Aim At metro-North

A former chairman of the Metro-North commuter council has launched the Commuter

Action Group to protest what he calls “the culture of incompetence and unaccountability” at Metro-North. Encouraging commuters to post every issue they encounter on social media, Jim Cameron said it was time to harness the power of the Internet to incite systemic change. “Complaining to Metro-North or the (Connecticut Department of Transportation) has proven a waste of time,” Cameron said. “They don’t listen and they don’t care. They seem responsive and responsible to nobody … except lawmakers.” Over the last couple months, a string of incidences at Metro-North have disrupted service for days, including two major derailments killing four and injured more than 100 passengers. Using the action group’s website and pages for Twitter and Facebook, Cameron is urging commuter to voice their complaints and copy them to legislators. A manifesto demanding safety, improved communication and transparency has also been posted to a station wall.

Q&A with lexco’s president and Ceo BY BiLL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

hris Jordan is president and CEO of Lexco Wealth Management Inc., the wealth advisory firm he began in 1999 that now features a Tarrytown headquarters and 11 branch offices. Lexco employs a total 28. Jordan, 47, sees Lexco’s mission as heavily invested in teaching. “Our whole thing is education,” he said recently, citing three subsets within the teaching arena: consultation, sounding board and collaboration. Clients include BASF Corp., among the largest chemical companies in the world, which Lexco has visited at its U.S. headquarters in New Jersey for presentations three times in each of the last two years. Jordan in June hosted a mud-soaked obstacle event at the Thunder Ridge skiing facility in Putnam County that raised $36,000 for the U.S. Association of Blind Athletes, on whose board he serves. The charity puts forth a bold metric for the business community: The unemployment rate for the blind is 80 percent, but it’s cut in half via participation in sports. Jordan answered several questions germane to his firm’s adviser role. a year ago you came out strongly in favor of owning stocks. the market backed your feelings. What did you see then? Jordan: “Going into last year there was still a lot of uncertainty on big issues like the ‘fiscal cliff’ and tax rates. The stock market was pricing in a worst-case scenario. However, corporate balance sheets looked solid and bonds were facing higher rates and tough times ahead. While we were watchful for developing problems, 2013 turned out to be the best years for stocks since 1997.” What do you see now? “I see a lot of investors feeling good for a change and that makes a big difference. I feel stocks have room to run here, but tell clients to expect a repeat would be a mistake. That said, this is not a weak recovery. The bond outlook isn’t too positive as interest rates have risen and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the 10-year rates at 3.75 percent by year end. We’re telling fixedincome investors to review their portfolios and evaluate the options. Staying disciplined and diversified couldn’t be more important this year.” What is your target market? how does managing risk factor in as age increases? “Our clients are very successful corporate executives, professionals and business owners. We focus on the highest impact years, as we call them, which is the six years prior to retirement and six years post-retirement. That’s where we can bring the most value by educating people to the real risks of retirement. There’s a lot of general information out there but that doesn’t translate well to what each person should do for themselves. Managing risk means understanding your real risks as you get older and no

two people are the same. Just avoiding the big mistakes can mean the difference.” What are the key risks for regional retirees going forward? “It’s not the short-term ups and downs of the market; for most, it’s a lack of a realworld plan that puts it all together. People are living longer and while it’s hard to image being without a paycheck for 30-plus years, it’s a reality. Retirees need to have an answer to the ‘Will I have enough and where will it come from?’ question. Understanding how inflation, taxes and portfolio returns impact

a retiree’s chance of running out of money is the first step toward managing the key risks. We kid our clients when we first meet and tell them hope is not a strategy.” You also educate corporate audiences. What message do you bring and how is it received? “Our clientele are very busy, smart people that are juggling tremendous responsibilities. They are looking for a proven process that cuts through the noise and gives them better control over their finances. Deep down they know watching ‘Squawk Box’ or reading a few Internet articles on retirement won’t cut it. So, our mes-

sage is one of educating people in great detail so they can feel confident making important decisions based on their unique needs. We do workshops on general planning and more focused breakouts on maximizing your 401(k), pension elections, estate planning, college funding and income planning to name a few. One thing that makes us different is our commitment to education and the process we use. As a team we have a lot of experienced professionals that take the time to really explain complicated issues in plain English. In the end, we really like what we do and that’s why we are asked back again.”

Making sure jobs are proﬁtable Looking back – if we had more accurately charged time to jobs, I think we might find jobs that weren’t profitable. Some people wait until the end of the week to put their time in. I know they can’t be accurate when they’re trying to recall what they did three to five days earlier. Our staff members know they have to account for their time, but I don’t think they understand how small mistakes allocating time to specific jobs can add up to big mistakes over time.

thOUGhtS OF the DaY: The finance department is responsible for analyzing profits. People are more likely to support accuracyin-reporting initiatives if they understand why it’s so important. Building a solid understanding of how profitable a specific type of work is, or how valuable a specific client is, can have a real payoff for both sales and operations. In service companies the single largest cost to deliver is labor. Labor costs must be accounted for by individual, by project, by category of work. Garbage in = garbage out

when it comes to reporting hours and creating a picture of what’s going on in the company. Accurate reporting is essential to managing and improving profits. Greater profit benefits everyone in the company. It’s a selfreinforcing loop that must be built. Finance can lead the way through education. Show people how projects can go from profitable to unprofitable if hours are left out and vice versa, if projects are is incorrectly charged with hours that don’t belong. Discuss the difficulty of managing project budgets real-time if hours are missing. Ask people to dig into individual reports of hours worked to see if they match reality. Here is an example of a serious mistake tied to inaccurate reporting. A manager sees everyone working hard and thinks it’s time to hire the next project worker. Then reports come back showing a lot of unproductive overhead hours that need to be assigned to tasks. Unfortunately the reports are wrong because people are not allocating their time to jobs. The manager decides there’s no need to hire and everyone gets stressed out, the best people quit, overtime goes up to fill the work gap, and profits go down the tubes. Make sure your employees have a solid

BY aNDI GraY

understanding of what drives profits. Ask the finance department to hold training classes. Give people case studies to pick apart and analyze, so they can learn how profitability works. Ask employees to dissect specific projects and figure out what more could have been done to increase accurate reporting and raise profits. Teach employees that accurate reporting keeps the company healthy. Try this example: Suppose it’s time to invest in sprucing up the office with a paint job and some new chairs. The assumption is that the company can afford it because jobs have been highly profitable and volume is picking up leading to more profits coming. Oops! Missing hours meant that the jobs weren’t making as much as it seemed. More work means smaller net income, not bigger. Now who’s going to pay for the painting and outfitting the office? Here’s another example where accurate reporting makes or breaks a good decision. A project comes in under budget, the client looks highly profitable. On the next bid sales drops their price to make sure they get the work – believing they can afford to do it given the client’s historical profitability. Then someone does research and finds out that hours that should have been billed to the cli-

ent weren’t. The next bid is highly unprofitable and the company loses money. Or, the opposite may happen – too many hours charged to the wrong client. When it comes time to bid on the next job or do the client a favor, the sales and operations managers walk away because it looks like that client is a dog. They later discover the client was a jewel, unfairly burdened with hours that should have hit another client’s profit and loss. Get everyone in the habit of reporting on hours every day before going home. Review records daily to see who complies and who struggles. Assign coaches to work with people to build daily habits. Don’t quit until the correct habits are in place. It’s well worth the effort. BOOK RECOMMENDATION: “Project Management: A Managerial Approach,” by Jack R. Meredith, Samuel J.

National Science Foundation has recognized Purchase College in graduating students who attain doctoral degrees in the sciences. Our faculty are active researchers who provide scientific training that contributes to Westchester businesses.

It’s true. When doctors become successful, they move to the suburbs.

Who can blame them? Westchester has charming town squares, top-tier school districts and one-of-a-kind homes. But if you’re a successful doctor, you don’t only care where you live. You also care where you work. That’s why they’re drawn to Bronxville’s Lawrence Hospital Center. Over the last five years, we’ve spent nearly $50 million in renovations. S uffice it to say, that kind of money buys a lot more than a new coat of paint and some soothing wall art. Let’s start with the room people often see first: The Emergency Room. We’ve done so much reconstructive surgery on it, you wouldn’t recognize the place. Modern. Sleek. Computerized. It’s everything

you’d want in a part of the hospital we hope you never have to visit. Of course, not every visit to our hospital is for a bad reason. Sometimes it’s for a good one. And there’s no better example of that than our Maternity Ward. Our nursery is spacious enough to handle a minor population explosion. And with 23 new private rooms, their mothers get some well-deser ved privacy. Each room has been designed with soft lighting, carpeting, Internet access and a flat-screen TV. In addition to our warm bedside manner, we have electronic bedside records. A laser-fast scan of your ID bracelet tells our nurses who you are and what medication you need. It’s an extra layer of security that helps eliminate the possibility of mistaken identity. Speaking of technology, we’ve improved our image with upgraded MRIs and Westchester’s first Low Dose CT Scan. A dose so low, it delivers up to 40% less radiation than the previous model. That said, technology is only half the story. People are the other half.

In an age when hospitals focus on the almighty dollar, we still focus on the almighty patient. Maybe that’s why nationally recognized doctors and award-winning surgeons who could work anywhere, choose to work here. We don’t just talk about compassionate care, we also

live and breathe it. No wonder people think it’s healthier to live in the suburbs. If you’d like the full hospital tour, visit lawrencehealth.org. Find out why so many top doctors call our hospital “home.”

When doctors crash

Burnout is a real problem among M.D.s By Bill Fallon Bfallon@westfairinc.com

ardiologist Robert Stark, 65 and a Greenwich resident, recently addressed a symposium at Temple University in Philadelphia. His topic – doctor burnout – proved popular; 200 M.D.s attended. He called the problem “underaddressed or just beginning to be addressed.” His eyeopening metrics include the female M.D. suicide rate, which is 5.7 times higher than for other women, and a survey indicating 37 percent of all physicians were experiencing “severe” stress and/or burnout. Stark treads, he said, on delicate ground. “I don’t want people to put off going to their doctor fearing he or she might have stress,” he said. “But the problem should not be ignored.” At Temple, the feedback bore out his thesis that the problem is widespread. “A doctor came up to me afterward to address the suggestion that talking more with colleagues is part of the cure,” he said, seated recently in his Greenwich office. “This doctor said, ‘My colleagues are more burned out than I am. It drags me more down to talk to them, so I stay away.’” Stark’s appraisal of the conversation: “This is terrible.” Stark diagnoses and treats valvular heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease via medication and lifestyle alteration. He is medical director of the cardiac prevention program at Greenwich Hospital/Yale New Haven Health and a consulting doctor for Minneapolisbased Physician Wellness Services, which conducted the physician health survey on suicides (1 in 16 doctors has contemplated it) and burning out. The survey also revealed 62 percent of doctors see stresses heading in the wrong direction: up. Stark and Physician Wellness Services promote the need to engage in “mindfulness,” which is no more complex (nor easily achievable) than forgetting all else and living in the moment. Its practitioners down through the ages have included mystics of many faiths and even Yoda on the big screen. With mindfulness, a doctor’s head is in the room and not on yesterday’s procedure or tomorrow’s results, despite the fact life and death could be at stake.

Dr. Robert Stark in his Greenwich office.

“I’ve tried it and it does work,” Stark said. He noted Physician Wellness Services has embraced it as a way to improve doctor performance. “They preach being in the moment, appreciating the moment. Try not to live in the past or be apprehensive about the future. It should be a part of medical school training; it prepares a doctor with resiliency.” Mindfulness arrives as medical school is more collegial than when Stark attended in the 1960s. Infamously long intern hours are now less, as well. But the tendency of doctors not to seek help for stress and burnout remains virtually unchanged. Stark, who asks his colleagues to seek each other out – even skirting the mental health system if they so desire – and who considers himself “an accessible, approachable man,” has been approached by exactly two peers across a lifetime in medicine. “Most peers grin and bear it and they push on,” he said. “They maintain the status quo, but it’s not right for the physician’s health and well-being. Stress and burnout can affect their interest and their presence in their job.” The burnout problem, while widespread, also comes with the turf. The profession requires great determination and no small

amount of smarts, attracting a cohort not used to defeat. In Stark’s words: “They tend to be compulsive, driven, goal-oriented, with an exaggerated sense of responsibility.” The upshot, as Stark said, “When things go wrong, and things will go wrong through no one person’s fault – there may have been a whole team involved – the feeling is one of guilt for not assimilating every last thing. This is partly a feature of those who go into medicine.” Stark, the son of a chemist, personally did well in organic chemistry as an undergraduate majoring in cellular biology at the University of Michigan. The difficult course remains a convenient bellwether for medical school admission coast to coast. “It’s always described as a bear,” he said. “Perhaps a B in organic should not be a disqualifier for admission to medical school. Organic weeds people out and it shouldn’t. It’s a test to memorize facts; there’s more to medicine than memorizing facts.” An improvement would see greater linkage of undergraduate chemistry and physics with clinical correlations, he said. Stark witnessed different hours as a medical student at Harvard Medical School than he had seen as an undergraduate and, he said,

he saw burnout immediately. “This first year was tough,” he said, expounding upon the stress levels. “The first thing I noticed was how tremendously hard all the people were working. They were really working hard.” And the pressure increased. “By the third year, doing rotations on the wards proved a real eye-opener,” he said. “Interns and resident worked insane hours.” After overnight shifts, details of the previous night were reviewed. “These were not benign inquiries. The doctor came in; he was fully rested. The grilling was intense, not just on a patient but on any related topic. It was designed to stress.” Stark, who never had to pull an all-nighter to pass organic chem, discovered a different environment at Mass General, Harvard’s primary teaching hospital. “It would be 2 or 3 a.m.; I’d be tired but I had all this work to do for the a.m. rounds. It was my first exposure to all-nighters.” As undergraduate days would come to appear simple, so Harvard Medical School would become an also-ran in the stress arena. “It was at University of Pennsylvania Hospital” – where he would complete training in internal medicine and cardiology – “where I really learned about burnout, working 80, 90, 100 hours per week.” His assessment: “An iron-man philosophy is promulgated that nothing harms us and we can accomplish anything.” A mid-1980s lawsuit involving an exhausted medical intern has led to limits on training hours for those who would be doctors. The majority – more than 86 percent – of U.S. physicians are moderately to severely stressed or burned out on an average day, according to Physician Wellness Services. That is the sort of arresting number that prompted a question from Stark’s Temple University audience: “How do we know all this burnout is inherent in physicians and is not the result of the medical system?” It is, Stark acknowledged, a changing health landscape. He also said change is a constant and that, regardless, if it is producing too much stress it must be addressed. “Most stressed-out doctors feel they are totally alone,” Stark said. “My advice is to reach out to someone close who you trust – it need not be a mental health specialist – and be open to advice, whether practical or referral. The message is that doctors should take care of each other more than they are.” WCBJ • February 3, 2014

New palliative care program focuses on children BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

ospice & Palliative Care of Westchester, a nonprofit hospice provider based in White Plains, has launched a program that will serve children with life-limiting illnesses who are receiving curative treatment at hospitals. Called Comfort Crew, the new program is made up of pediatricians, nurses, social workers, spiritual care coordinators, home health aides, volunteers, therapists and grief and bereavement counselors. The team works with a child’s medical care provider and family members to create a plan that provides the most appropriate level of relief and comfort for the young patients

at home. The program launch goes hand-inhand with a recent law change under the Affordable Care Act that now allows children with life-limiting illnesses to simultaneously receive palliative care while undergoing curative treatment in hospitals. Before the law change, children couldn’t receive both palliative care and curative treatment, and parents had to choose whether their children would comfortably rest at home with trained staff visiting them or stay at a hospital under a doctor’s care, said Nancy Caputi, pediatric palliative care coordinator at Hospice & Palliative Care of Westchester (HPCW). “Thousands of children are dying in hospitals every year,” Caputi said. “Most

want to be at home, and there’s a need for this kind of program to provide enhanced comfort. With this new law, now there’s a clear choice families can make for the setting of care and setting of death.” Unlike the nonprofit’s hospice program that provides care services for patients with a life expectancy of six months or less, Comfort Crew allows children to receive palliative care a lot sooner. The pediatric palliative care team cares for children with a life expectancy of one year or less. “We were getting children who had weeks left to their life after being in the hospital for months and months,” HPCW Executive Director Mary Spengler said. “It came to the point where physicians said, ‘There’s absolutely nothing we can do.’ And

the family decided they don’t want the child to die in a hospital. They want them to die at home.” Three years ago, Spengler, along with 20 staff members, 65 employees and more than 50 volunteers started examining the level of pediatric palliative care available and saw a clear need to start a program in Westchester. After discussions, research and roundtable meetings with pediatric oncologists and area health care providers including Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital and Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center in Yonkers, Memorial Sloan Kettering in Manhattan, the pediatric palliative care program built a rapport with neighboring hospitals, which have since then referred their patients to them. HPCW is run purely by private foundation grants and donations from individuals and businesses. With five donations made to the organization last year and two more rolling in so far this year, the palliative care program can now send out more staff to visit children and their families and introduce them to the program. “All the visits we make to the family prior to child’s admission are important,” Spengler said. “Sometimes, these visits are two or three or four or five depending on where the family is at and where the child is at. If all they want to do is put a name to a face and see who we are, that’s fine.” The goal this year is to provide palliative care for at least 10 children with terminal illnesses who are undergoing curative treatment. The Comfort Crew coordinators plan to train about 15 to 20 volunteers to lead about five age-specific family bereavement groups to support children who, going through the care program, may lose their siblings. “The Comfort Crew plans to provide family bereavement support programs after school consistently on a specific weeknight every other week,” said Bruce Page, volunteer and bereavement coordinator. “It would be an ongoing program that families would sign on for as they make a commitment to help their children cope with the death of a sibling.” Hospice & Palliative Care of Westchester was founded in 1992 as an organization serving roughly 20 patients suffering from cancer. It now provides services for patients with any life-limiting illnesses including heart disease, cancer, leukemia, Alzheimer’s, emphysema, cirrhosis, kidney disease, AIDS and Lou Gehrig’s disease among others. Patients are never turned away because they don’t have health insurance coverage.

Caring for the caregivers

WMC’s new center is already offering services BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

A Community of Caring Services

uring a family reunion in the Catskills, a member of the party suffered an aneurysm. Suddenly, she was a patient at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, a Level 1 Trauma Center that serves a seven-county area and often beyond. Out-of-state family members would accompany their relative to Westchester for an extended vigil that saw them far from home and its necessities. They needed everyday clothing, not the hiking gear they arrived in. They needed to fill their own prescriptions and find places to sleep. And they needed comfort. Patricia Boyce, the medical center’s director of caregiver services, said the needs of this family – and others who arrive in the midst of a loved one’s medical crisis – are already being met with their top service: “supportive listening” during the sudden upheaval. “If a family member is ill, the whole family is ill,” Boyce said. Caregiver services, she said, “let them know they’re not alone in this.” And the services already offered will soon be expanded and formalized with the launch of the Caregiver Center, a 2014 project expected to break ground this quarter. It will be a physical space in which patients’ families and friends can access a wide range of services. Internet access, bus schedules, discounts to area restaurants, directions to local services (banks, pharmacies, hair salons), a spa-style shower on site or sessions including aromatherapy are just a few of the amenities. When the need is there, the center will also help caregivers connect with a member of the clergy or a notary. Boyce said that right now, these caregiver services are being offered as a pilot program to select departments, such as the Burn Center. Addressing the varied needs of caregivers starts from their first step into the medical center. “It’s important that we meet and introduce (ourselves) at the very beginning,” Boyce said, adding that the medical center’s reach serves well over 100,000 adults and children each year. “With those admissions we have a percentage of caregivers who get a call in the middle of the night,” Boyce said. “They grab their keys and cell phones in the middle of the night and come to Valhalla.” The lobby offers an immediate introduction to the caregiver services.

“When you walk into the hospital, you walk into the Caregiver Center,” Boyce said. Plans are to formalize that lobby space’s dual purpose and create a true center adjacent to the lobby. “What we will have is a comfortable seating area,” Boyce said, with afternoon tea and other snacks to be served. “It’s going to be a haven, a comfortable open living room.” Additional space will accommodate everything from aromatherapy to massage, Reiki to reflexology to pet therapy. There will also be an area dedicated for computer use, library services and meetings or educational sessions. Boyce said the center started to come together back in 2012 when Anne Tarpey, service excellence officer, and Kara Bennorth, senior vice president of corporate communications and fund development, began discussing the best way to address the growing and diverse needs of caregivers. The program, Boyce said, has 15 caregiver partners. She stressed these are trained volunteers, “at a level of maturity,” who have not had a personal loss themselves within the past year. The current lineup includes retired social workers and law-enforcement personnel, health-care administrators and community firefighters and family members of physicians and staffers. The center, which will be supported by a combination of funding (hospital, donor and grants), will also address the needs of professional caregivers on staff. Another goal is to help lower the readmission rate, Boyce added. When a patient goes home and a caregiver knows more about how to best help them, the recovery can be smoother. It’s all part of the same goal. “Whatever needs they have, we help them,” Boyce said. “We’re going to shepherd the family from the moment they come in here until the moment they leave.”

New law mandates testing for heart defects in newborns A new state health law that went into effect Jan. 27 requires every newborn receive a noninvasive screening before being discharged from the hospital. The new law requires physicians to administer the pulse oximetry screening test, which measures oxygen levels

INBRIEF

in the bloodstream and helps detect congenital heart defects. The Pulse Ox Act was signed into law last August by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. Nearly one in 100 infants born each year have a congenital heart defect, according to the American Heart Association. The pulse oximetry screening is estimated to help identify more than 90 percent of heart defects. According to the nation Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 7,200

babies born each year have critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs), which represents about 25 percent of congenital heart defects. CCHDs account for nearly 30 percent of all deaths of infants under the age of one year. The test is conducted by attaching sensors to a baby’s hand and foot between 24 and 48 hours after being born. If oxygen levels are too low, additional tests would then be conducted to detect any potential heart

defects that may be present in the baby. At the time of signing the bill into law, Cuomo said, “It is heartbreaking when a parent loses their child to a condition that could have been easily detected and appropriately treated. This law will prevent the number one cause of infant death due to birth defects by requiring hospitals and clinics to screen newborns for congenital heart defects – increasing early detection of this condition so that we can take quick action to save the lives of our children.” “My daughter, Samantha, was born with an undiagnosed congenital heart defect and died six weeks after birth from cardiac arrest,” said Patti Stone, a Rockland County resident and volunteer with the association. “With treatment advances made possible by research, children born with CHD (congenital heart defect) have a greater chance than ever to live and thrive.” American Heart Association spokeswoman Carolyn Torella said the new law is a “victory for the smallest hearts in our state.” The bill was sponsored by Republican state Sen. William Larkin and Democratic Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther.

Valhalla-based Children’s and Women’s Physicians of Westchester L.L.P. (CWPW), one of the nation’s largest medical practices, recently partnered with a Yonkers medical group to share referrals and women’s health care resources in southern Westchester and the Bronx. Women’s Health Resource will help CWPW provide comprehensive health care for women, especially pregnant mothers. Women’s Health Resource specializes in obstetrics and gynecology and is authorized to administer anesthesia in the office and sonographic imaging for women with high-risk pregnancies. The medical group is accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, a national medical society dedicated to education and research in medical diagnostic ultrasound. Women’s Health Resource has locations at 1990 Central Park Ave. in Yonkers and 1250 Waters Place in the Bronx. The group has 23 staff members, including six doctors, three physician assistants, five medical assistants and one nurse. The medical practice first opened 45 years ago when Neil H. Melnick, a medical doctor, hired doctors and health professionals to provide continuous care for adolescents and women in the community, Daniel R. Miller, a physician with Women’s Health Resource, said in a statement. – Crystal Kang

Two promoted at PCI Progressive Computing INC. (PCI) – a computer consulting and network installation, design and maintenance firm with offices in Westchester County and Manhattan – has promoted Laverne Oliver to director of operations and Marina Reichelt to director of finance. Reichelt started working for PCI part time in 1999 as a bookkeeper/office manager, managing banking, payroll, tax reporting, employee health insurance and other general office duties. In her new role, she handles many of the same tasks, but in greater detail and is also responsible for forecasting and budgeting as part of the leadership team. When Oliver started working at PCI

seven year ago, she had no technical training or experience aside from what she had practiced in school, but was able to learn on the job and grow as a technician, leading to her first promotion in 2012 from technical advisor to service coordinator. As director of operations, she now plans and monitors the daily schedules for technical support for clients and overseas purchasing, among many other responsibilities. “We’re proud of the fact that many of our employees, especially Marina and Laverne, have been with us for the long haul, helping us grow the company and provide excellent service to clients,” CEO Robert Cioffi said.

DIRECTORS ADDED TO MHA THE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION OF WESTCHESTER (MHA), a community-based nonprofit mental health agency that has served Westchester County residents for 67 years, has elected LARRY M. ELKIN, and SHARON KRIEGER, MD to its board. In announcing the appointments, CEO Amy Kohn said, “We are honored that these exceptional individuals have chosen to offer their guidance and leadership to MHA. Each has deep roots in the county and will provide unique perspectives and experience that will serve the agency in important ways.” Elkin is the president of Palisades Hudson Financial Group L.L.C. and Palisades Hudson Asset Management L.P., which has its Westchester offices in Scarsdale. The firm provides financial and tax counseling. Its investment advisory business serves clients who reside in more than 30 states as well as abroad. A prolific writer, Elkin is an author as well as the editor and publisher of Sentinel, a quarterly newsletter and the lead author of the firm’s daily column, Current Commentary. “I see my role as supporting the mission as well as the management of the agency. My goal is to help marshal and develop the organization’s resources so it grows its services

and brings even more to those who so desperately need them,” Elkin said. Krieger, a physician at the Mount Kisco Medical Group, has practiced internal medicine for 19 years. After receiving her master’s degree in human genetics at Louisiana State University in New Orleans, Krieger went on to complete her medical degree there as well. In her work as a physician, Krieger has found that patients increasingly look to her for help managing their mental health and that many physical complaints may mask an underlying psychological issue. In her new role on the MHA Board, Krieger hopes to open up conduits for other physicians and connect them to MHA so they may access quality mental health care as well as to bring a medical viewpoint to board discussions.
