here is a perception that philanthropy exists only in a very strict setting where those with wealth make gifts to fund work that serves the common good. In reality, philanthropy is so much more. In fact, Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines philanthropy as “goodwill to fellow members of the human race: an act or gift done or made for humanitarian purposes.” This is a truth we have seen play out in myriad ways through the historic events of the last eighteen months.

When a neighborhood group sews masks for medical volunteers, that’s philanthropy. When a family donates or organizes for their local STEVE MOORE food bank, that’s philanthropy. When a church family opens its doors to CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE M.J. families displaced by historic wildfires and helps them get back on their MURDOCK CHARITABLE TRUST feet, that’s philanthropy. When a business gives its employees the day off to volunteer with local nonprofits, that’s philanthropy.

Philanthropy can be a $700,000 grant from a foundation or a $7 donation from a child’s lemonade stand.

Philanthropy can be time given to prepare meals for those in need or a conversation with an elderly individual, isolated because of a pandemic. Philanthropy can be the construction of a new community center and it can be an offer to watch a neighbor’s child while they are at work.

Philanthropy is about the role we all can play in helping serve and support the diverse needs of our community through our own gifts, talents and resources. More importantly, philanthropy is not limited just to those who make financial contributions, as important as they are. Philanthropy must be a practice in which we all take part and be a choice we all make on how we live in the world. In fact, data shows that communities are best served when individuals, families, clubs and organizations, neighborhoods, and workplaces all play a role in giving within community.

According to the most recent Giving USA publication – an annual report that for 60 years has offered a summary of charitable giving – individuals, charitable foundations and corporate partners donated more than $471 billion in 2020. Those investments helped feed the hungry, heal the sick and shelter the homeless. Donors increased capacity for educators, made space for artists to create and encouraged productive discussion on complex issues. Giving helped fuel scientific research, connect vulnerable children with foster family care and allowed global aid organizations to reach out to communities in need around the world.

But those investments were only successful because they were so diverse.

The 2020 Giving USA figures follow a trend we have seen for decades. There is no one dominant avenue of giving. No one group – not individuals, not corporate partners, not foundations – can support all the diverse needs of our region. It takes creative partnerships and collaborations by all sectors, including business leaders, the faith community, educators, healthcare professionals, community foundations, elected leaders, private foundations and individual donors, working together to develop an ecosystem of support that allows our community to flourish and thrive.

The historic events of 2020 that have continued into 2021 have only shone a brighter light on the need for this sort of robust, creative, collaborative generosity. Just consider the development and deployment of the COVID-19 vaccines. These lifesaving resources first needed support from scientific researchers to develop the technology and process necessary to create a viable vaccine. Business partners needed to generate the raw materials, manufacturing and distribution venues to mass produce doses. Hospitals, medical facilities, healthcare workers and volunteers needed to help coordinate administration of shots to patients. Without all of the links in that chain, the entire process fails.

Recently, a local Rabbi friend came to see me and shared his work to encourage children to develop a habit of generosity by collecting the family’s change each day for charity and community needs. “Children help remind us in simple ways how being generous strengthens the muscles of love, kindness and service in our family’s lives.”

As we work our way into fall and soon will enter a season of thanksgiving, this is an ideal time for everyone in our community of every background to consider how they and their organizations can contribute to the common good now and in the future. Being generous is who we are. Exercising philanthropy is something we all can do. It is something we all must do to ensure every individual in our region has the opportunity to flourish and thrive.

LOVING THEM FORWARD Organization offers resources, support, education, events for caregivers

B

ack in March of 2013, Clark County resident Christina Keys received a phone call that would end up changing her life forever – her mother had had a stroke. It was this life-changing event that eventually led Keys to co-found Loving Them Forward, a nonprofit organization that offers resources, support, education, a caregivers hotline and special events for caregivers and the seniors and loved ones they care for.

“I instantly became her caregiver,” Keys said. “I went from having a successful career (in the tech industry) to living with my mom, by her side while she was in the hospital for almost six months, working off my computer. We came home and I was instantly thrown into being a caregiver. I would ask for different community resources and I would get these lists from the hospital and I would ask, ‘who are these people? What do they do?’ and they would tell me, ‘they have the information, you have to call them.’”

About four years into caring for her mother, Keys said they had basically went through both of their life savings just paying for what insurance wouldn’t pay for. She said she became sick trying to figure out how to do it all herself – gaining 100 pounds, being diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure.

“My body was literally falling apart,” Keys said. “When I went to my last doctor appointment at that time, they told me I would be lucky to live six months. I needed something to change. I needed to make a decision to figure out how to find care for my mom. I chose to live and fight, and I had to learn things like redefining selfcare.”

Keys started working with Caring Transitions in the senior and retirement industry doing sales and marketing. She said every time that she would find a caregiver resource here in the Vancouver area, she would think to herself, “wow, I had no idea this was available.” She eventually started bringing in experts to give talks about different resources available, sometimes after funerals, etc.

At one point, Keys said she was doing about four to six community educations a month. It wasn’t long until Keys met Debbie Russell and the two started partnering to offer some of these education events together. Eventually, Keys brought up the question of if there was a senior resource fair. She found out there used to be one, and the decision was made to try and start something like it again; something that offered information on any and all services that seniors and/or caregivers might need – from grooming services to legal services and more.

“Finally in 2019, we said ‘wow, this is really growing and we should probably give this a name and start a nonprofit,’” Keys 6 VANCOUVERBUSINESS SEPTEMBER 2021

said. “How many other caregivers are out there – alone, lost, dying, losing their income and jobs, insurance, etc. We offer collective resources; we partner with more than 100 businesses and organizations throughout Clark County and we are hyperlocal. I hated when I would ask people, ‘what do I do for this resource?’ and people would give me this 1-800 number and people who know nothing about Clark County.”

When visiting the Loving Them Forward website, caregivers and/or seniors can find a wide variety of resources for things like medical equipment, in-home care, senior living, home placement support, counseling/mental health, senior centers and recreation, legal and notary support, insurance and Medicare advisors, and more. Keys said they only allow three different business or organizations per category, as it’s really hard for a caregiver to be given a huge list “when you’re worried about how long you can leave mom or dad in bed.”

LUTHERAN COMMUNITY SERVICES NORTHWEST In 2020, LCSNW began their Covid Care Connect Services, helping those who do not have the financial means to quarantine

T

his year, Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW) is celebrating its 100th year of serving people in need with offices in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

The organization began back in 1921 with the founding of the Lutheran Compass Mission in Tacoma, Wash., to serve the “down-and-out.” The organization’s mission ballooned during the Great Depression when so many families needed clothing, food and shelter. In the 1940s, LCSNW expanded further by resettling refugees from Eastern Europe.

“Over the decades, we have grown to over 30 offices, each addressing the unique needs of the particular community,” said Eva Luchini, community engagement manager at the Vancouver LCSNW office. “Across our organization, we provide behavioral and mental health services, relief nurseries for atrisk preschoolers, dementia programs, crime victim programs, services for foster care children, family support services, immigration services, refugee resettlement and more. While Lutherans started our work a century ago, we presently employ, and serve, people regardless of religious affiliation.”

Luchini said LCSNW opened its Vancouver office in 1994 and started out as an immigration counseling and advocacy program. The program grew to assist in family reunification resettlement cases for the local Slavic community, and in 2002 grew again, adding social services referral and case management programs, English as a Second Language Services and naturalization support. In 2011, the Vancouver office added their Crime Victim Advocacy Services and added their Covid Care Connect Services in 2020.

“Our staff members are multilingual and hail from all over the world: Bosnia, Mexico, Ukraine, Libya and Iraq, to name a few countries,” Luchini said. “Because of our talented and experienced staff, we are uniquely qualified to help immigrants and refugees integrate into our community and contribute to our local economy.”

THE LCSNW VANCOUVER OFFICE’S FOUR MAIN PROGRAMS INCLUDE: REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT This program works to receive and resettle Afghani refugees directed to the Pacific Northwest. LCSNW welcomes them at the airport, secures them housing and basic necessities, and provides case management services so they become integrated, 8 VANCOUVERBUSINESS SEPTEMBER 2021

IMMIGRATION COUNSELING The immigration counseling services at LCSNW support many local businesses by assisting local immigrants to understand the rights and responsibilities of their immigration status. LCSNW assists with employment authorizations, green cards, naturalization and citizenship, and much more.

CRIME VICTIM SERVICES The Crime Victim Services program provides free and confidential advocacy and information to any Clark County resident impacted by crime. LCSNW partners with local law enforcement agencies by giving additional support to people after victimization. LCSNW provides personal, medical and legal guidance, in addition to safety planning, to help residents move forward after being affected by a crime.

NORTHWEST ASSOCIATION FOR BLIND ATHLETES The organization will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2022 and continues to grow, expand services

S

ince first getting its start in 2007 with six students in the garage of then-15-year-old Billy Henry, the Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) has grown to now deliver more than 600 events annually across more than 15 different sport and recreational opportunities to more than 1,900 individuals annually who are blind or visually impaired.

“With the support of hundreds of volunteers and community champions, NWABA now provides direct service events, residential camp programming, equipment loans, school-based services, equipment loans and other resources to individuals who are blind, their families and educators,” said Henry, founder and president/CEO of NWABA. NWABA will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2022, and Henry said the Association’s mission is “to provide lifechanging opportunities through sport and physical activity to individuals who are blind or visually impaired.” He said NWABA uses sport and physical activity as a catalyst to help individuals of all ages and ability levels build confidence, selfesteem, friendships and the skills, tools and resources they need to reach their greatest potential in all areas of life.

Henry said that this fiscal year for NWABA will be its biggest growth year yet to expand services. He said the Association is planning to significantly scale its Camp Spark program this year to seven sessions – up from two in fiscal year 2021; accelerate the number of in-person Sports Outreach events to serve more individuals in different areas on the same day; open a second office in Boise, Idaho; and expand their Video Resource Library to provide more instructional content to individuals, teachers and families.

Henry said they are also working hard to raise funds to purchase new vans, trailers and adaptive equipment so that they

RIPPLE IMPACT NW New local nonprofit aims to offer guidance, resources to those who want to give back to the community

D

uring the especially hard time that came with 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, people across the Clark County community rose to meet the challenges that arose – giving cash, stock, food and goods in ways that demonstrated generosity and commitment. However, great need still remains and the community is still presented with numerous ways to give.

Most people want to give, but it’s easy to get lost in figuring out the details. This is where Ripple Impact NW comes in.

“Ripple Impact NW, a local nonprofit, understands how giving can seem overwhelming and offers guidance and resources to create giving plans for individuals, families and businesses – whether you have $100 or $1 million to donate,” said Jeanne Kojis, director of nonprofit resources at Integrated Tax Services and chair of Ripple Impact NW. Acting as a catalyst for change, Kojis said that Heidi Johnson Bixby – who owns and operates Johnson Bixby, Integrated Tax Services and The Difference, all in Vancouver – helped launch Ripple Impact NW as a way to enhance the existing culture of giving in Clark County.

“By helping people better understand community needs, how nonprofits work, and their own values and motivations, people can make more informed decisions to create or develop further their own practice of philanthropy,” Kojis said. “The nonprofit does not provide tax or financial advice, nor does it hold investments for donors. Instead, it meets each prospective donor where they are on their giving journey and acts as a platform for connecting people who care with the nonprofits doing incredible work.”

As Ripple Impact NW is brand new, programs offered by the organization will start this fall. Ripple Impact NW has three core programs, all supported by modest fees and sponsorships:

THE GIVING CIRCLE The Giving Circle is a community-based, philanthropic movement that brings people together to pool their resources for greater financial impact on community issues. Circle members learn about needs in the community and collectively select a topic to focus on for grants, soliciting proposals from our local nonprofits. Local experts educate the Circle members about the topic as a whole and the impact it has on the community specifically – and then they hear directly from nonprofits about programs and projects that are solving real problems.

WOMEN BUILD This program of Evergreen Habitat for Humanity empowers women to get involved in every level

B

ack in 1992, a group of women in North Carolina wanted to get involved with Habitat for Humanity, and decided they could – and would – build a whole house themselves. This led to the formation of Women Build. In 2011, the Clark County area affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity, began participating in the Women Build program.

“Women Build is essentially a program (that) empowers women to get involved in every level of Habitat for Humanity’s mission,” said Leanna Fabian, grants and development manager for Evergreen Habitat for Humanity and member of the Women Build Committee. “As a construction-based organization, which is such a male-dominated field, it can be intimidating to step onto a Habitat site as a volunteer if you’ve never used a saw or swung a hammer before. Through Women Build, women (and anyone else who wants to participate — we don’t exclude men or other genders), can gain skills and build confidence in a nonthreatening, empowering and supportive environment.”

But, Fabian points out, Women Build is even more than that.

She said that as a housing organization, they must recognize that domestically, women, and particularly single mothers, face a significantly higher chance of living in substandard housing.

Fabian said that globally, there are still challenges to women’s land and property rights, and through the Women Build program they can build, advocate and educate.

Here in Clark County, Fabian said that the Women Build program has two arms – there are days on Habitat’s construction sites dedicated specifically to Women Build throughout the year, where crews of female volunteers build together. Then there is also a Women Build Committee, which is made up of 10-15 women from the community who work throughout the year to

raise funds for the Women Build program.

“Women Build acts as their own house sponsor, so they raise $75,000 to sponsor a whole Habitat home, and then they, and others, go out and build that home, with the goal of building it with at least 60% female volunteers,” Fabian said.

In addition to the 10-15 members of the Women Build Committee, Fabian said there are another 10-15 who come build on site with them during Women Build days. The committee also hosts a big fundraising event annually, which sees a few hundred women come and support WOMEN BUILD: See page 15

WOMEN BUILD: Continued from page 14

the program. Fabian said that Women Build also holds other fundraisers throughout the year, and a large portion of the funds come from individual donors.

“We also have a few funding partnerships,” she said.

“For example, Lowe’s Home Improvement is a support of Women Build, and each year we receive $5,000 from Lowe’s as part of ‘International Women Build Week,’ which is a weeklong celebration of the great work of Women Build across the globe.”

Fabian said Women Build completed their third Women Build Home in 2019 for Casey Rice and her three children.

The program was able to raise funds to sponsor two homes at Evergreen Habitat

for Humanity’s most recently completed subdivision project, McKibbin Commons, and Fabian said they are well on their way to completing another sponsorship.

Evergreen Habitat also recently purchased a plot of land that will hold nine Habitat homes. Fabian said that Women Build will sponsor at least one of the nine homes. This nine-home neighborhood will be known as Johnson Village.

“COVID-19 has, of course, has affected our organization in many ways, and our Women Build program is no different,” Fabian said. “Two of the major aspects of this program – volunteering and fundraising – have both been challenging throughout the past year and a half or so.

fter discovering that there are currently no programs in Clark County in place to assist older veterans with their home maintenance needs to make sure that their homes are a well maintained and safe place to call home, TMG Cares – the nonprofit branch of The Management Group (TMG) Northwest family of companies – decided to launch a program called Operation Home Rescue.

“Veterans hold a special place in our hearts,” said Jennifer Lindsay, community engagement coordinator with TMG Northwest. “At TMG we recognize we recognize the freedoms we enjoy are due in part to the sacrifices made by our nation’s service men and women. We wanted to do something to thank veterans for their service. During the planning phase of Operation Home Rescue, we did research on what services are currently being offered in Clark County. Our goal was to create a program that filled a need that was not currently being met within the community … Due to our in-house maintenance team, we are in the unique position to offer many types of assistance to older homeowners, so a program like Operation Home Rescue was an obvious fit.”

Operation Home Rescue first launched in March of 2021 and since then, Lindsay said they have had the privilege of working with three veterans to help with their home maintenance needs and provide services to them free of charge. Depending on the number of applications they receive, she said they plan to work on additional homes this September.

During the program’s first found of project homes, Lindsay said they have done landscaping, roof cleaning, power washing, gutter cleaning, yard debris clean-up and disposal, repairs to exterior steps, interior house cleaning, preventative maintenance in a basement, minor plumbing repairs and electrical repairs.

“The inspiring aspect of Operation Home Rescue is that it gives businesses in our area the opportunity to come together to help out these very deserving veterans,” Lindsay said. “Much of the labor and supplies are either donated or done at a greatly reduced cost. So far, the most requested services are for gutter and roof cleaning and pressure washing. These services are important for us to provide since they present a safety issue for our older veterans if they were to do these services themselves.”

TMG Cares is funded through contributions from both TMG Northwest and its employees. Additionally, Lindsay said HOME RESCUE: See page 17

community partners have assisted with Operation Home Rescue by donating services and supplies. Currently the program’s partners include TMG Maintenance, Summit Reconstruction & Restoration, Maid to Sparkle, Lowe’s, Grant Roofing, Edgar’s Cleaning Services and Jones Landscape.

“To provide the most services to veterans as possible, we are looking for partners who would like to work with Operation Home Rescue on upcoming project homes this year and in 2022,” Lindsay said. “Services that are needed include plumbing, electrical, landscaping, pressure washing, roof and gutter cleaning, construction

and restoration work and general contracting. Also, businesses that are able to donate supplies for landscaping, electrical and plumbing work, equipment rentals or any general building supplies are appreciated.”

Lindsay said the shortterm goal of the Operation Home Rescue program is to get the word out to eligible veterans in Clark County and to create a portfolio of community partners for future projects. The program is partnered with the Clark County Veterans Assistance Center (CCVAC) to verify applications and to promote Operation Home Rescue within the veteran community. Lindsay said that one of the challenges the program has faced during COVID is that the CCVAC

CLARK COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM

n our great community of Southwest Washington, there are numerous nonprofits and organizations that provide us with needed services, volunteer opportunities and more. Behind these organizations are some fearless leaders who strive to serve the community they live in by keeping these organizations running and continuing to find ways to benefit the community and the people who live here.

Brad Richardson is one of those leaders. Richardson, executive director of the Clark County Historical Museum, was recognized as a 2015 Visit Vancouver USA Tourism Ambassador and was nominated for the 2017 George C. Marshall Public Leadership Award. He was also recently the recipient of the David Douglas Award from the Washington State Historical Society.

The Vancouver Business Journal caught up with Richardson about his job with the Clark County Historical Museum and his involvement with the Clark County community.

VBJ: Tell me about your history with the Clark County Historical Museum … how did you first get involved with the museum?

Brad Richardson: My journey with the museum started in 2010 at their Harvest Fun Day event. I was going to WSU Vancouver at the time and working towards my bachelor’s degree in history. The need for volunteers was announced in one of my classes, and I decided to see what the museum was all about.

After Harvest Fun Day I reached out and started a year-long internship. At the end of that year, I was hired on as a member of the staff. The rest, you could say, is history.

VBJ: Why was this something you felt passionate about?

Richardson: As I worked at the museum, I started to uncover so many incredible stories. The lives of those who came before us are rich with so many important lessons. History is the instruction manual for society and helps us move our

BRAD RICHARDSON, CLARK COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM

community forward. I have a passion to be a life-long learner and history provides such a deep education. Being able to bring new or untold stories to light has been one of the greatest blessings. Being able to piece together the mosaic of our community’s story has empowered me to be a better steward.

VBJ: Did you do any kind of volunteer work/nonprofit work prior to becoming involved with the museum?

Richardson: I volunteered at the Museum for an entire year before being hired on as a member of the staff. I came in every Friday and BRAD RICHARDSON: See page 19 • OFFICE SUPPLIES AND ACCESSORIES • OFFICE FURNITURE • PROCUREMENT CONSULTATION • ERGONOMIC TRAINING & EVALUATIONS • COMMERCIAL OFFICE MOVING • OFFICE AUTOMATION (COPIERS/PRINTERS)

Saturday for full days. It was an incredible experience because it has helped me understand the needs of our current volunteers.

VBJ: Now as executive director of the museum, what does that role entail for you?

Richardson: The three big pieces of my job are: Fundraising, Administration and Boosterism. Each day I work to grow the investment from our community in our museum. A great deal of my work consists of working with community members, stakeholders and partners to forward our mission to gather, save and share the pieces and stories of our community’s past and how this can help us shape our community’s future.

I also supervise all of the

administrative functions of the museum that keep the wheels on the whole production.

Lastly, I provide talks on varying historical topics to local groups as a way of helping grow our membership and donor base and bring a greater understanding of the extent of our work.

VBJ: During your time at the museum, what programs did you help start? Help to grow?

Help to continue?

Richardson: It’s been a wild ride. Before becoming the executive director, I helped expand our walking tour program and speaker series program. Both have grown and been more responsive to the needs of the community. When I came to the museum, we only had tours in Vancouver. I was able to develop new tours BRAD RICHARDSON: See page 28

DR. BRADY SMITH HALO DENTAL NETWORK

I

n our great community of Southwest Washington, there are numerous nonprofits and organizations that provide us with needed services, volunteer opportunities and more. Behind these organizations are some fearless leaders who strive to serve the community they live in by keeping these organizations running and continuing to find ways to benefit the community and the people who live here.

Dr. Brady Smith is one of those leaders. Smith, who owns and operates Comfort Dental in Camas, is the founder of the HALO Dental Network, which provides free dental care to underserved populations throughout the country. Powered by “The Tooth Fairy Army,” a network of dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons and other dental professionals, HALO strives to donate up to $50,000 worth of free dental services to deserving people in need.

The Vancouver Business Journal caught up with Smith about his decision to start the HALO Dental Network and what services the organization offers.

VBJ: Can you give me some background on yourself? When did you get started in dentistry? When did you start wanting to provide dental care to those who were unable to get it? How/when did you come up with the idea for the HALO Dental Network?

Dr. Brady Smith: I started dentistry in 2009 in Colorado Springs. Like many in my field I wanted to help people. It became easy to lose sight of that after eight years of school, moving three times, buying a house, buying a practice, starting a family and managing a mountain of new debt. Truthfully, I hated my job for the first five years. I really disliked going to work. I knew I needed to change things. One thing that I immediately began to incorporate into my day to day was charitable service. At first, nothing huge. A free extraction to someone in pain. A free filling or cleaning to anyone I found that was just down on their luck. Then I started to love what I did. It was a complete repurposing of my job and my life.

So, I chased that feeling and I did more and more charitable

20 VANCOUVERBUSINESS SEPTEMBER 2021

DR. BRADY SMITH, HALO DENTAL NETWORK

service until HALO was born. I felt like I found purpose and fulfillment and HALO is how I share that with my colleagues within the dental profession. I share what I’ve found and I invite them to join me.

VBJ: Tell me a bit about what services the HALO Dental Network offers.

Smith: HALO stands for Helping and Leading Others. We recruit as many dentists as possible to commit to change one person’s life through dentistry, every year. Just one case a year. And that’s not DR. BRADY SMITH: See page 21

DR. BRADY SMITH: Continued from page 20

much for a dentist to commit to. But it is comprehensive. It provides top-of-line treatment and products to the recipients of these gifts. Our HALO docs even volunteer to offer every recipient two free cleanings/ year for life!

VBJ: Prior to your work as a dentist, was there any other volunteer/community work you did? What first got you involved in helping others/giving back?

Smith: I always grew up being taught the value of charitable service. I was always involved in charitable service through the Boy Scouts, or my church groups or just personally. I became an Eagle Scout and even completed a two-year volunteer mission with The Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter Day Saints. At the age of 21 I returned to “normal life” and I lost sight of how important this was. Trying to find ways to spread kindness was an easy bike to reteach myself how to ride. It’s fun.

It’s easy. It’s impactful.

VBJ: Do you have a few stats on the HALO network? How many people you’ve helped so far, etc.?

Smith: We have about 25 dentists in our network at the moment. We’ve only been around since late 2019, and COVID made things obviously difficult. We’ve completed or have in process around 35 people. Each one averaging $30,000 of treatment. That puts us just over $1 million in treatment given. But more importantly we have 35 people whose lives are forever

CREDC BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ll of the great nonprofit organizations in the Southwest Washington area would not be able to run quite as smoothly without their board of directors. Organizations’ board of directors are made up of people in the community who volunteer their time, knowledge and guidance to these organizations in addition to continuing to work at their “day jobs.”

Lisa Lowe, a shareholder/attorney with the Vancouver office of law firm Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt is one of those people in the Southwest Washington business community who volunteers her time with numerous boards. Currently, Lowe is chair of the Columbia River Economic Development Council (CREDC) Board of Directors.

The Vancouver Business Journal caught up with Lowe to talk about her involvement with CREDC and how it goes hand-inhand with her professional life.

VBJ: When did you first become involved with CREDC? How were you initially involved?

Lisa Lowe: I have been involved with CREDC since 2008. I became a board director in 2008 and chaired one of the first board committees, the then Business Expansion Committee (because I had suggested that the directors could be more involved in CREDC work if there were committees). I was interested in CREDC as a result of my legal work with ports, including being general counsel for the Port of Vancouver USA. A Washington port’s mission is to support economic development in its community. Realizing there are many aspects to economic development in the community, CREDC was a natural fit for me.

VBJ: When did you become chair of the CREDC board? What duties does that position entail for you?

Lowe: I became chair at the CREDC annual meeting in February of 2020. My duties include weekly communication with the CREDC President Jennifer Baker; monthly meetings with CREDC officers; chair monthly meetings with the CREDC Executive Committee and regular meetings with the CREDC Board of Directors. In addition, I try to be available to attend CREDC events, support staff in its programs, and assist in investor support and recruitment. I also sit on the CREDC Policy Committee and the I-5 Bridge Taskforce. It has been interesting carrying out these duties during the COVID pandemic. I cannot recall ever meeting in person as chair of these meetings and events (except the CREDC golf tournament).

VBJ: Aside from CREDC, are you currently involved with any other nonprofits or organizations? Have you been involved with others in the past?

Lowe: I am currently serving as a board member of the 22 VANCOUVERBUSINESS SEPTEMBER 2021

I am a past-chair of Identity Clark County and board member of Leadership Clark County.

VBJ: How do you balance being the chair of the CREDC board and your professional life?

Lowe: As I mentioned, my CREDC involvement overlaps quite nicely with my work with Washington ports. I believe I provide better service to my port clients as well as other business clients due to that participation. Personally, I am certainly a betterinformed citizen in my community because of CREDC. As to LISA LOWE: See page 29

I

n our great community of Southwest Washington, there are numerous nonprofits and organizations that provide us with needed services, volunteer opportunities and more. Behind these organizations are some fearless leaders who strive to serve the community they live in by keeping these organizations running and continuing to find ways to benefit the community and the people who live here.

Marcy Sprecher is one of those leaders. Sprecher is the executive director of Rocksolid Community Teen Center in Brush Prairie. Rocksolid is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing safe, fun and engaging afterschool activities for fifth through 12th grade students.

The Vancouver Business Journal caught up with Sprecher about her work with Rocksolid and her involvement with the Clark County community.

VBJ: Tell me a brief history of how you first got involved with Rocksolid.

Why are you passionate about this organization and what it does?

Marcy Sprecher: Rocksolid’s first annual auction was in 2001 and I thought this would be fun to help out with, as they needed volunteers. Fast forward to 2006, when I decided I needed a new working path. Here is where I felt the call to work with youth. I read that Rocksolid was hiring a Teen Center Manager, so I applied and got the job! Making a difference in the life of a teenager is where my heart is and will always be. We were all teenagers at one point in our lives, and I felt I had a lot to give. The impact Rocksolid has on the youth we serve is incredible, and I am so happy I followed my heart and am able to be a part of it.

VBJ: When did you first become executive director? What duties does this role entail for you?

Sprecher: I became executive director in 2016. Duties entail overseeing a staff of five, amazing volunteers, budget, all fundraising events, networking and building relationships with donors, and my favorite … direct service with the teens!

VBJ: Prior to becoming involved with Rocksolid, did you do any other community/volunteer work? What first really got you started with community involvement?

Sprecher: Prior to working at Rocksolid and having grown up in Battle Ground, I have always wanted to give back to my community.

I volunteered in my kids’ classrooms and with their sports teams, church and BGHS Alumni events. If anyone needed help doing something, you could always count on me to volunteer!

VBJ: During your time with Rocksolid, what programs have you helped start? Helped to continue or grow?

Sprecher: Programs I helped start:

3. Annual “Community Leaders Day,” where city leaders, business owners, school district officials and supporters come to hang out with the Teens. This day helps put a name with a face, so our youth can meet them and engage in activities together, while getting to know them better.

Organizations’ board of directors are made up of people in the community who volunteer their time, knowledge and guidance to these organizations in addition to continuing to work at their “day jobs.”

Sharif Burdzik, VP/commercial relationship manager with the Lewis & Clark Bank Vancouver office, is one of those people in the Southwest Washington business community who volunteers his time with numerous boards. Currently, Burdzik is chair of the Partners In Careers (PIC) Board of Directors and is involved with several other organizations’ boards.

The Vancouver Business Journal caught up with Burdzik to talk about his involvement with PIC and the other nonprofits he works with.

VBJ: Tell me about your involvement with Partners In Careers (PIC) and your involvement with the Cascadia Technical Academy Foundation.

Sharif Burdzik: I’ve been involved with PIC for around eight years now, maybe a little longer. It started with me volunteering to speak with some of their participants and help out with mock interviews, and when Executive Director Sharon Pesut had the idea of having an annual fundraiser, the “Barn Dance,” I was tapped to be the emcee, which I’ve done for each one since.

I also help out on their program committee and joined their board. As of this year, I’m currently the board chair.

For the Cascadia Technical Academy Foundation, that was actually the first nonprofit board I joined, back in 2009. I’ve served as chair for several years and continue as a director to this day. We’ve been through several significant transitions in my time with Cascadia, not the least of which was creating a new push in our annual fundraising when we took the annual dinner and auction offsite to the Heathman for the first time.

Expenses were much higher than holding the dinner at the school, but the potential for success was much greater, so we took the leap. That first dinner was more successful than we had anticipated and we haven’t looked back since.

VBJ: Aside from these two organizations, are you currently involved with any other nonprofits/organizations?

Burdzik: I’m also currently involved in the following organizations: Clark College Foundation, board member Clark College Veterans Advisory Board, board chair WSUV Diversity Advisory Board, member

VBJ: How do you balance being the chair of the PIC board, being involved with other nonprofit boards and organizations, and your professional life?

Burdzik: I tend to look at most everything as strings of connections between people. If I peel away most of the layers from my professional life and my volunteer life, I’m simply following the connections and establishing new ones that make synergistic sense.

I do that in my paid work with commercial lending, and I do that in my volunteer work with nonprofits and charitable causes. I’m SHARIF BURDZIK: See page 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 VANCOUVERBUSINESS 25

lthough it has been a while since we’ve been able to hold our annual Healthiest Companies awards, the Vancouver Business Journal continues to check in with our past winners and finalists to see what they’ve been up to when it comes to employee wellness. Many companies have had to change up their wellness programs and get creative after the onset of the pandemic forced a lot of employees to work from home.

Biggs Insurance Services was a finalist in the VBJ’s 2018 Healthiest Companies awards in the Mid-Sized Employer category, and the company’s wellness committee has persisted through the past year and half of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. During 2018, Biggs had partnered with Kadapult, a Portland-based company providing wellness program support.

They then formed a committee of staff members who, with Kadapult’s guidance, created an agenda of monthly themes ranging from financial health to mental health and including, of course, the many components of physical fitness.

Zoe Hovland, executive assistant at Biggs, said the wellness committee held a five-week walking challenge in May/June of 2021, which pitted the company’s departments against each other for some “healthy competition.” Although the admin team came out on top, Hovland said all employees walked a total of 8,598,553 steps.

The wellness committee also sent weekly emails for a period this past spring, sharing stories of how employees were staying well in isolation. Hovland said many of their crew submitted short blurbs describing their coping strategies – everything

By the end, I was grabbing gifts that were like for my sister’s kids that were in my car, Christmas ornaments, anything to give them.”

“These caregivers were saying, ‘even though I didn’t get a gift, the gift was that

you guys would do this,’” Keys said. “One caregiver came through and said they had been a caregiver for 10 years and has never seen the community come together to do something like this. They finally felt valued.”

This year, Keys said Loving Them Forward will again hold a drive-thru Caregivers Christmas event. It will be held Tuesday, Dec. 7, at the Clark County Fairgrounds. There will be vendors and the goal will be to give away 1,500 giftbags to caregivers in the Clark County community. Keys said they need sponsors, donations, vendors and individuals to help them get the gifts for the caregivers, as they are a 100% volunteer nonprofit and all funds go to caring for the caregivers who care for their loved ones.

quarantine without becoming homeless or going without food.

“Of course, Covid has affected all of our work,” Luchini said. “We had to move to online client services, which has made our work cumbersome and created frustration for our elderly clients particularly. We persist in our services; we will continue to do so. The

work of Lutheran Community Services Northwest strengthens Clark County.”

Henry said that the driving factor behind NWABA’s continued growth is two-fold.

“The organization has established a strong set of core values – empower people, grow boldly, be transparent, be inclusive and strive for excellence,” Henry said. “These core values are the foundation of our operating methodology and direct all decisions

within the organization. NWABA also infuses business principles and thinking across every aspect of our organization.

We like to think of ourselves as an entrepreneurial nonprofit. Each one of our amazing team members is a visionary and aims to improve every area of the organization every year. We are constantly transforming to better meet the needs of people who are blind or visually impaired.”

order to help keep our community safe, we had to close our construction site to volunteers for over a year, and even now we have extremely limited capacity.

in Ridgefield, Camas and Battle Ground.

Once I became the director, I was able to start up our History on Tap program.

From there, April Buzby, our programs and marketing manager, and I have been able to grow that program. In the last year, I was also able to start three mission-related fundraising events: Virtual Night at the Museum, The Amazing History Race and Friday Night Flicks (FNF was developed with Jenny Thompson from PAL, so it wasn’t me alone). I’ve also been able to establish museum services. This consists of producing exhibits for businesses or organizations (e.g C-TRAN’s 40th Anniversary exhibit) and putting together nominations for heritage registers. This has allowed us to take our professional training and provide our skills to the community and bring in needed income.

VBJ: Before having this job as the museum executive director, what was your “day job?”

Richardson: Before the museum, I had two other careers. I was a supervisor for a number of years at UPS. After that, I

volunteers to help build our homes.”

“Despite this, we continue to move forward, and hope that by the time Johnson Village is ready for home construction, we will be able to bring back more volunteers,” Fabian said.

“Likewise, Women Build’s major source of funding came from events. The committee was able to brilliantly pivot to virtual fundraising and engagement

events, which were incredibly successful.

They even hosted a virtual DIY-event where women were taught how to build a cedar birdhouse from their own homes, which really helped to preserve the spirit of what Women Build is all about.”

Operation Home Rescue can make a huge impact in the lives of our veterans.”

“The greatest impact the businesses in our community can have with Operation Home Rescue is donating services to an upcoming home project,” Lindsay continued. “The more business partners we have, the more veterans we can help.”

Each year the Operation Home Rescue program will have two rounds of service that occur, one in late spring

and one in late summer. The application period is March 15-April 15 for the spring round, and July 15-Aug. 15 for the late summer round.

born and raised in Clark County, means so much to me and makes this more than just a job.

VBJ: How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected things at the CC Historical Museum? What changes have you had to make, etc.?

Richardson: We shifted to digital very quickly and have worked to understand how we can maintain all of this new digital infrastructure. We restructured our staff composition because of COVID. We eliminated our administration position (I’ve absorbed all of that work) and created a public historian position.

As a result, we’ve been able to expand our interpretive service and continue to focus the community’s investment in us directly towards mission-related work.

Like many nonprofits, it has impacted our fundraising greatly. We’re still very financially healthy but are always in need of greater support from the community to maintain all of the programs we’ve created for the community. VB

VBJ: Aside from the museum, are you involved in any other areas of community service? Volunteering? Etc. Richardson: I’m a member of the Rotary Club of Vancouver and I serve on the boards for Humanities Washington and the Washington Museum Associate. For Rotary, I am a member of the Programs Committee and the 100th Anniversary Committee. I’m a member of the Development Committee for Humanities Washington. For the Washington Museum Association, I serve on the Conference Committee.

VBJ: What would you consider your proudest professional moment or achievement?

Richardson: Being hired on as the executive director at the Clark County Historical Museum. I was fairly young for the position when I was hired, I was only 35, and the board decided to take a chance on me. I was incredibly honored by this. Additionally, being able to save the history of my own community, I was

changed because of HALO. VBJ: How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the HALO Dental Network? What kind of changes did you have to make?

Smith: Before the pandemic we had plans to take our idea nationally. I firmly believe that many dentists want to participate in this type of work but don’t really know how. So, we were slowed. We could still manage a little bit but we really couldn’t ramp up the way we intended.

For us, it was a mild set back that we are LISA LOWE: Continued from page 22

VBJ: Do you have any advice for others in the business community who might be looking for opportunities to give back to the community and/or serve on an organization’s board of directors?

Lowe: There are so many great organizations in this wonderful community. I was given some advice a while ago that has really helped me better evaluate the “fit” of a particular board or committee: 1. Understand the vision/mission of the organization and MARCY SPRECHER: Continued from page 24

VBJ: What do you think has been your proudest professional moment or accomplishment so far during your time with Rocksolid?

Sprecher: My proudest professional moments were receiving the Identity Clark County “Land Here, Live Here, Learn Here” 2019 Real Hero Honoree for exemplary service to education, nominated by the Battle Ground School District. Also, the many impact stories (20 years worth) of grownup youth that

• If you’re a dentist, fill out the volunteer form at HALODentalnetwork.org.

• If you know someone that needs this type of gift, please nominate them at HALODentalnetwork.org.

• If you need this yourself, you will have to find someone to nominate you. Our only rule is that we don’t allow selfnominations.

• No matter who you are, you could consider a recurring donation via the website HALODentalnetwork.org. Even if you aren’t a dentist, you can still help us give people their smiles back.

• Follow us on social media. VB

Smith: We are aiming to recruit 1,000 dentists. That means 1,000 lives changed forever every single year. But that’s just the first milestone of many that we envision. There’s something like 200,000 dentists in the U.S. One thousand would only represent .5% of that total. Once we hit that goal I’m confident the second thousand will come even sooner.

How can people help HALO? confirm you are in alignment. 2. Ask what are the expectations of a board member, including time commitment and investment.

For example, is the board a “policy board” or a “working board?” 3. Ask yourself if you can deliver on those expectations.

VBJ: How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected CREDC? What have been some of the biggest challenges that have come out of this ongoing pandemic for the organization, and how have you worked through them?

Lowe: CREDC’s main focus is advancing the economic vitality of the community have participated in our program over the years … makes me very proud to work for Rocksolid Community Teen Center!

VBJ: How has the COVID pandemic affected Rocksolid? What changes have you had to make because of the pandemic?

Sprecher: Closing our doors as the pandemic hit was very hard, but the blessings that came from it were overflowing! We continued to connect and support our youth virtually with porch drops of activities that we would do together twice a week. Guest speakers would join us online and cook with us, or craft with us, or just motivate and inspire us! We continued our partnership with Police Activities League (PAL) virtually, twice a month. We were able to meet in person for a few, safe, outside activities such as Camp Hope and BiZi Farms pumpkin patch. Connecting

through business growth and innovation.

It has been the leading Clark County organization connecting companies to resources they need to expand or locate in the region. The pandemic certainly had an impact on employers within the community. CREDC stepped up and responded by providing resources and guidance for Clark County businesses.

In addition, CREDC administered three rounds of emergency grants in partnership with the state and local partners, including Clark County and the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. VB with our teens was top priority, during such an uncertain and isolating experience. We look forward to opening up again in the fall once school starts again. The stability, mentoring and life lessons learned through our program is amazing. Donors believed in the work we are doing to continue our program, were very generous financially and helped keep our doors “open.”

VBJ: Aside from your work with Rocksolid, are you involved with any other nonprofit organizations? Community outreach?

Sprecher: Working in the nonprofit world, I am always reaching out to my executive director friends and helping them/their programs as I can. More hands equal less work while we are all serving the same communities, so we must stick together for support. VB

SHARIF BURDZIK: Continued from page 25

passionate about forging and keeping connections, and when I focus on that, work and effort become enjoyable. Along the way, making those genuine connections has uncovered so many deep friendships in our community – that then become my personal life. Working alongside others with passions for our community has uncovered so many great people whose passions, character, and genuineness help me become better and more effective. I’ve also met many who’ve become true friends. In a very real way, my involvement in the community is directly tied to my personal and professional lives – it’s still just me whether I’m working, volunteering or relaxing. It’s still all about genuine relationships as well as making and maintaining true interpersonal connections.

I don’t confuse contacts for relationships.

VBJ: Do you have any advice for others in the business community who might be looking for opportunities to give back to the community or become involved in organizations like this?

Burdzik: The best advice I have is to let your passions guide you in where you

spend your time and efforts. Get to know people who are truly passionate about some aspect of our community and talk with them about their experiences.

When you find a cause that resonates with you, with a mission that excites you, roll up your sleeves and ask how you can help out. Not everything needs to be started anew – there are many existing causes out there that need help.

Know that others have come before you and understand you may have some learning to do to understand everything completely. Nonprofits have enough expenses on their plates – all will appreciate time and talent from passionate volunteers – a true value add that doesn’t cost the nonprofit any of their hard-won revenue.

VBJ: How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected PIC and the other nonprofits you work with? What have been some of the biggest challenges that have come out of this ongoing pandemic for the organizations, and how have you worked through them?

Burdzik: The pandemic has negatively impacted most of the nonprofits I work with, to varying degrees. Many did see some relief under the PPP program

through the SBA, but generally the usual methods of fundraising and friendraising were not available to most during the pandemic, so there’s been a lot of pivoting to other methods that don’t involve direct contact. For better or worse, this last year and a half have shown me that our electronic communication methods, while fantastic as a backup or supplement, are a poor substitute for direct in-person communication. Social media campaigns, email campaigns, Zoom events, etc. all have a place in finding support for nonprofits, but the true supporters, the major donors, the ones you can count on year after year, come from genuine relationships, which are not established and maintained by a few clicks or automated messaging. I’m sure I fall short of this goal, but when I’m talking with someone in person, the most important person in the room should not be me. I’m not out and about to promote myself – I’m out and about to see where I can help out. Whether it’s business, volunteering, philanthropy or personal life, I strive to make the interaction about the person in front of me, and the issue, cause or situation we are discussing.. VB
