<b><span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Northern Virginia Chamber Partnership Releases its Fourth Annual General Assembly Legislative Scorecard</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Partnership of Loudoun, Reston, Dulles, and Mount Vernon Lee Chambers Created Scorecard to Track General Assembly Members&#8217; Votes on Key Business, Economic Priorities<br />
<br />
Northern Virginia &#8211; The Northern Virginia Chamber Partnership today released its fourth annual Virginia General Assembly Legislative Scorecard, a report that details the voting records of the Partnership&#8217;s Senate and House of Delegates members on the bills outlined in the Partnership&#8217;s 2017 Legislative Agenda.  <br />
<br />
Comprised of the Dulles Regional, Greater Reston, Loudoun County and Mount Vernon Lee chambers of commerce, the Northern Virginia Chamber Partnership completed its eighth year of working in Richmond to represent the economic and quality of life interests of the businesses and residents in Loudoun and western and southern Fairfax Counties.<br />
<br />
&#8220;The businesses and the communities we represent want to know how our state legislators are voting on the issues that will impact the future of our economy and our quality of life in Northern Virginia.  We are proud that so many legislators, from both parties and both Chambers of the General Assembly, earned high marks for their voting records on the Northern Virginia Chamber Partnership&#8217;s priorities, for this demonstrates that the Partnership&#8217;s hard work in Richmond is paying off for our members,&#8221; said Loudoun County President &amp; CEO Tony Howard.<br />
<br />
The Scorecard reflects votes taken by the House of Delegates and Senate and, in a few cases, by the subcommittees and committees on which a legislator served during the 2017 General Assembly session.  Prior to every vote, the Partnership communicated its position on each bill and reminded the legislators that these bills would be included in the Scorecard.   <br />
<br />
&#8220;Scorecards are a valuable tool to communicate to our members how their legislators vote on issues important to the business community in a quantifiable way.  This year, the members of our four chambers chose, as areas of importance business taxes/regulation, economic development, healthcare, and transportation.  We believe this Scorecard approach is the most straightforward format of identifying legislator&#8217;s support for the Partnership&#8217;s initiatives,&#8221; said Greater Reston Chamber President &amp; CEO, Mark Ingrao.<br />
<br />
&#8220;Our effort is laser focused on Development and Transportation because of their impact to our businesses and communities.   Workforce development and economic development were two of those areas that were evaluated.  With the rocket growth in Loudon and Fairfax County we expect these elected officials to support smart growth with smart legislation.&#8221; said Dulles Regional Chamber President and CEO John Boylan. <br />
<br />
The purpose of the Scorecard is to help Northern Virginia&#8217;s business leaders recognize those legislators who support the Partnership&#8217;s efforts to improve the business climate and quality of life in Northern Virginia and to promote a dialogue with those legislators whose votes don&#8217;t align with Partnership priorities. <br />
<br />
&#8220;The results of this year's Scorecard show that the Partnership is fostering greater cooperation in Richmond between representatives from our areas on key economic issues in Northern Virginia. Our members greatly value the transparency that the Scorecard gives to the legislative process.&#8221; said Holly Dougherty, Executive Director of Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce. <br />

<b><span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">New Castle-Henry County Chamber event: Avoiding interview, hiring mistakes</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Finding, interviewing and hiring a new employ can be tricky business. Friday, the New Castle-Henry County Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with Reid Family Care of New Castle, provided Chamber members with a chance to hear from a human resources expert.<br />
<br />
Cindi Kiner is a consultant who owns The HR Connection, a Henry County business that specializes in hiring and employment practices. She also teaches at Ivy Tech Community College and serves on the Chamber&#8217;s board of directors. Kiner shared several tips and suggestions during a Chamber-sponsored luncheon Friday at Henry County REMC&#8217;s headquarters on Ind. 3 south of New Castle.<br />
;<br />
Kiner said there are a myriad of federal and state laws an employer must be mindful of when interviewing and hiring a prospective new employee. Those laws, regulations and guidelines dictate what an employer can and cannot do without risking a penalty or even litigation.<br />
<br />
Preparing for and properly conducting an interview is one of the most important steps in the process, she said. A detailed and accurate job description should be developed, specifics regarding the position being offered should be advertised, and the employment application should not contain any improper questions that might give an applicant grounds for claiming he or she was discriminated against.<br />
<br />
&#8220;Being consistent with what you ask and expect from a job applicant can help an employer avoid a variety of problems,&#8221; Kiner said. &#8220;It&#8217;s best to evaluate an applicant based only on their skills and abilities. Don&#8217;t ask personal questions about their family, for example.&#8221;<br />
<br />
To avoid potential claims of discrimination, employers should remember that employment decisions should never be made based on race, gender, national origin, religion, age, color, military or veterans status, a disability, pregnancy, or marital or family status.

Birmingham-Bloomfield Chamber to host Q&amp;A with superintendents</span></h1>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
Residents of two local school districts will have the chance to learn about the districts and to express their concerns at an upcoming question-and-answer seminar.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
Each year, the Birmingham-Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce hosts a question-and-answer session with the superintendents of the Birmingham Public Schools district and the Bloomfield Hills Schools district.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
The Q&amp;A session offers residents &#8212; both those with and those without students attending one of&nbsp; the districts &#8212; the chance to examine what direction the community is headed in and to get a response to any concerns they may have.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
&#8220;We first started hosting the event in 2011 as part of the chamber&#8217;s mission to be deeply rooted in the community,&#8221; explained Andrea Foglietta, director of marketing and events for the chamber.&nbsp; &#8220;We wanted to provide educators, residents and businesses with services and let them know we are a resource. We like putting on a Q&amp;A with the superintendents and let (the public) have personal contact with them.&#8221;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
The Q&amp;A will take place 8-10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, at the Birmingham Public Schools administration building in Beverly Hills, next to Groves High School. The cost to attend is $10 for chamber members or $20 for nonmembers, and breakfast is included with the cost of admission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
The topics of conversation at the meetings vary based on what attendees ask, but Robert Glass, the superintendent of Bloomfield Hills Schools, said they always get a variety of questions that get to the heart of the issues facing their districts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure what topics will come up this year. You can&#8217;t really predict those,&#8221; he remarked. &#8220;We get questions often about what the district is doing and upcoming programs. Funding is always a topic people want to know about, as well as the topics of education policy and culture as a whole.&#8221;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
With regular classes in the Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills districts starting back up after Labor Day, educators are hoping to engage more people in the process of teaching and bettering the lives of children.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
&#8220;It&#8217;s important to keep an open dialogue and a transparent dialogue between all sectors of the community,&#8221; said Glass. &#8220;We have all sorts of people in the community &#8212; businesses, people with children, people without children &#8212; and we all have to work together and know what the others are doing to better assist each other and perform our individual functions better. We are all linked together.&#8221;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 600px;">
The chamber also invites the superintendents to its monthly meetings to encourage open dialogue. The hope is that this dialogue leads to improvements for all residents in the Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills area.

Tropical Storm Harvey has destroyed homes, flooded the streets and devastated people all over southeastern Texas, in places like Houston, Corpus Christi and Galveston.<br />
<br />
Away&nbsp;from the immediate danger of the raging tropical storm, Oxford, has been a safe-haven for some&nbsp;evacuees. Relatives&nbsp;of&nbsp;Ole Miss alumni are collecting&nbsp;their most valuable belongings, packing up their lives and heading to Oxford.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Lisa Ganucheau is the mother of senior accounting major Mary Clare Ganucheau from Houston, Texas. As soon as Lisa heard the news about the incoming&nbsp;hurricane, she packed her wedding dress, photo albums and family documents, and drove herself to Oxford for&nbsp;shelter in their family condo.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
&#8220;We know people on the coast who&nbsp;have lost everything and we know people in Houston who have lost everything,&#8221; Lisa said. &#8220;They kept saying to be ready, to be ready, to be ready, and people woke up Saturday morning with water in their houses. Poor people, wealthy people, everywhere around town &#8212; people have lost their homes. It&#8217;s because the bayou has risen.&#8221;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Meanwhile, social media has been working to help&nbsp;families all over Texas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
&#8220;It&#8217;s been a huge help. A huge, huge help,&#8221; said Lisa. &#8220;It&#8217;s the fear of the unknown that keeps you up at night. But when you can at least see pictures of what&#8217;s happening, that helps.&#8221;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to the university&#8217;s Office of Admissions, more than&nbsp;21 percent of the 24,250 students who attend the University of Mississippi are from Texas. The Ganucheau family is clearly not the only Ole Miss family affected by this tropical storm. Kathryn Abernathy, a junior journalism&nbsp;major from St. Louis, Missouri, has a brother who currently lives in Houston.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
&#8220;My family tried to get him to leave the city and come to Oxford,&#8221; Kathryn said. &#8220;My mom kept calling him but he refused to leave. I don&#8217;t think he thought it was going to be this bad.&#8221;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Oxford Chamber of Commerce is doing its part to help anyone affected by this disaster.

The chamber is&nbsp;also accepting&nbsp;monetary donations to cover the cost of a&nbsp;rental truck and gas in order to make the trip to Texas. The truck will leave town&nbsp;on Thursday, meaning&nbsp;everything must be donated by noon on that day.

<b><span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Wauwatosa Chamber more valuable than many realize</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
To the editor:<br />
<br />
People often ask me if it is relevant to be a member of a Chamber of Commerce. Or I'll hear the response to a Chamber membership inquiry &#8211; we are so busy we don&#8217;t need the Chamber. It always surprises me that small business owners think they are busy because patrons have found them on their own or through just their individual marketing efforts and word-of-mouth.<br />
<br />
Look at the progress made to ensure Wauwatosa is a vibrant community that supports its local businesses. We have many active areas of retail including; the Village, East Town, Mayfair Mall and the Mayfair Collection, Mid-town and 68th and Wells. This growth of restaurants and retail didn't happen overnight. It happened by us all working together to make our village and surrounding community healthy for residents, businesses and visitors.<br />
<br />
The retail and dining partners are supported by numerous large employers in the city. We are lucky to have the membership investment of the City of Wauwatosa, the Wauwatosa School District, Froedtert Hospital, Children&#8217;s Hospital of WI, The Medical College of Wisconsin, Research Park and Technology Innovation Center and General Electric&#8211; just to name a few!<br />
<br />
<br />
We all have driven through small towns that once must have had an active downtown and retail base that look like ghost towns today. Thank God this has not happened here! Wauwatosa is active, full of life and healthy! Our &#8220;10 Days in Tosa&#8221; promotion is a perfect example of the restaurants in the area working together with the Wauwatosa Chamber to bring people into the area and encourage visitors and locals to taste, sample and enjoy the many dining offerings.<br />
<br />
We offer many benefits to becoming and staying a member of the Chamber &#8211; networking, social media, business after hours to name a few. We offer the strength in numbers to see that we continue to thoughtfully grow and prosper. Most important, we celebrate the value of continuing to live, work, play and invest in Tosa. It&#8217;s a wonderful community!<br />

Congratulations to our August Ambassador of the Month, Jessica McGrail, owner of Dollar &amp; Sense Bookkeeping! The Batavia Chamber is so fortunate to have such an amazing person as an Ambassador and as a member of the Chamber's Board of Directors. Jessica became actively engaged in the Chamber immediately after joining the Chamber in 2015. She is a committed member of the Ambassador Committee, sharing the Chamber's mission and recruiting new members. Jessica has brought two new members to the Chamber this month alone by speaking about the benefits the Chamber provides to local businesses. Jessica naturally makes representatives feel welcomed and appreciated at our event. By being such a positive force, Jessica builds strong relationships which in turn benefits her exceptional bookkeeping business, which provides bookkeeping, payroll and administrative assistant services for small business. Because of Jessica's amazing abilities, The Daily Herald has noticed and is awarding Jessica the Young&nbsp;Entrepreneurs Under 40 Award in September. Not only does Jessica faithfully volunteer for the Chamber, she is active in many community organizations and events demonstrating her true and unselfish commitment to Batavia. Jessica's terrific effort is valued and deeply appreciated by our members, the Board of Directors, and Chamber staff! Congratulations and thank you!</div>
