LETTER FROM THE CEO

Art has been a central aesthetic in our Clubhouse since its early days and continues to be one of dominant program interests of our members. The Club was fortunate to have Dr. Richard Fuller as the chair of the Art Committee for so many years during his time as director of the Seattle Art Museum. While there are so many exquisite pieces to discuss in the Club’s collection, I wanted to mention a few artifacts by Kenneth Callahan that Dr. Fuller and other members had a hand in placing at The Rainier Club.

The exquisite logging scene painting from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era has adorned our lobby for many years (see adjacent photo). Two untitled works located on the third floor featuring race horses were donated to the Club by long-time Arts Committee member Morris J. Alhadeff. The Club has been fortunate to have a connection to so many of the Northwest’s artists and it’s important we continue to celebrate their works today.

Active efforts by our Arts and Literary committees fill our program calendar each year. A great evening postponed last year during construction is now rescheduled for next month. The Belle Époque – the “beautiful age” of Paris – will feature live music, portraits, and entertainment making it an unforgettable night you won’t want to miss.

The Club actively supports the arts where it can. In 2008, it supported the creation of the Rainier Arts and Library Foundation (RALF). The Foundation is organized with the objective of acquiring and conserving artistically and culturally significant property, with an emphasis on the history of Rainier Club members, Seattle and the greater Puget Sound region. In an aligned project in 2018, members of the Club have been actively working with the Seattle Art

Museum and the Seattle Public Library on an Edward S. Curtis exhibit to celebrate Curtis’ life’s work on the 150th anniversary of his birth. We expect a few pieces from the Club’s unique platinum print collection will be part of this exhibit at SAM next year.

Separate from this event, the Foundation will hold a program May 10 on Edward Curtis to fund the acquisition of the republication of the 20-volume North American Indian. The Foundation is excited to offer this opportunity for the membership to be able to view the nearly completed republication. An invitation will be mailed in the coming weeks featuring a program detailing Curtis’ life as a studio photographer and outlining how he advanced photography technologies.

If you have not yet had a chance to see another generation of northwest artists, be sure to visit the Club’s Gallery on the second floor during the final month of the exhibit featuring the works of students from Georgetown Atelier.

Best regards,

Michael Troyer, CEO

INTRODUCINGNEW STAFFMEMBERS

The Rainier Club is pleased to announce the hiring of two new staff members: Executive Coordinator Dori Cho and Director of Membership Omar Parker.

Dori Cho joins the Club as the Executive Coordinator to CEO Michael Troyer and the Rainier Club Historic Foundation Administrator. She will support the Board of Trustees and standing committees as well as the Historic Foundation’s Board of Directors. Dori is a Puget Sound native and University of Washington graduate. She brings to the Club an art and culture education and a professional background working in galleries in Seattle and New York City, as well as a project management background working with department chairs, CEOs and art directors.

Omar Parker joins The Rainier Club team as the Director of Membership. Omar is responsible for growing the Club’s membership with the support of its Membership Committee. As a Mercer Island native, Omar brings his local connections and fresh perspective to the Club’s membership recruitment efforts. Omar spent four years as the Director of Player Development for the University of Missouri’s men’s basketball team and spent 12 years in sales development and marketing.

Omar and Dori work out of the membership office on the fourth floor. Please stop by and meet them when you’re next at the Club.


“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.” – Albert Einstein

The first two months of 2017 have gone by in a flash. Club leadership and management have been hard at work navigating the development project, beginning to outline the budget for the 2017-2018 fiscal year and continuing to fundraise for the Historic Foundation. Here is a snapshot of where the Club stands today.

Development Project Update The Rainier Club and Fifth & Columbia Investors, LLC (F&C) are in a dispute concerning the 2014 Development Agreement. The Club has attempted to resolve the dispute, but has been unsuccessful. On February 13, 2017, with the support of the Club's counsel at Foster Pepper PLLC, a lawsuit was filed against F&C. An announcement was sent via email on February 14 to members who subscribe to the Club’s digital communication, ClubCast. Due to the litigation, communication and information regarding this matter must be kept confidential. The Club will endeavor to update members throughout the course of litigation.

Member Satisfaction SurveyThank you to those of you who filled out the 2017 member satisfaction survey. As of the print date of this letter, we’ve received nearly 200 responses. We appreciate the time you have spent to give us your thoughts and opinions. We have received feedback about the length of the survey. We determined the best course of action was to send one survey instead of several smaller versions throughout the year. We may adjust this strategy for next year’s survey. The Board and management will review the survey results this month and I will report on the results in my April column.

Please keep in mind there are many ways to send feedback and get questions answered at any time. Members may fill out a dining comment card, leave a note with the front desk attendant, fill out the online feedback form located at the bottom of the website

THE PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

once you log-in, and call or email Director of Communications Amy Boyd.

Historic Foundation Campaign UpdateThe Club’s fundraising efforts continue as we strive to meet our $500,000 goal to complete the lounge and health club projects. To-date we have raised $335,000. At the end of February, President Elect Darlene Corkrum completed her 24th marathon – an incredible feat! She joined 36,000 runners on February 26 in Tokyo to run 26.2 miles (42.164 kilometers) and has now completed four of six World Marathon Majors. Darlene ran the race with the intention to help the Rainier Club Historic Foundation meet its goal. We sent a ClubCast email to the membership asking for contributions in support of Darlene. Several members provided generous contributions – thank you. If you would like to share in showing support to our president elect, she’ll be running in yet another marathon in Los Angeles on March 19. Donation forms may be found at the front desk. You may also contact Historic Foundation Administrator Dori Cho (welcome, Dori!) at [email protected] to receive a donation form electronically. A big thank you and congratulations to Darlene for blending her passion for fitness with her love for her Club.

2017 LaureateThank you to all of you who attended the voting for the 2017 Rainier Club Laureate on February 15. The votes have been tallied and an invitation has been extended to the candidate with the most votes. Once the Laureate has accepted his award, we will announce him to the membership and begin celebration planning.

Best regards,

Brian Wineke, President


INSIGHT FROM THE RAINIER CLUB MENTOR PROGRAM CHAIR

The word “because” is a powerful performance accelerator. We live in the neighborhood we do because of its views, proximity to schools, or access to the city of our choosing. We drive the

car we do because of the fuel economy, status, reliability or horsepower. We work for our employer or do business with customers because of the value we derive from them. In all of our decisions the word “because” is present.

“Because” is a powerful word, therefore executive and entrepreneurs can accelerate their success by understanding the “because” of their employees and customers. For example, why do your best employees work with you? You will likely hear things like autonomy, challenging work and making a difference; but as more and more employers are providing these same attributes, they have become the price of entry for top talent, not differentiators.

Strive to know how your employees finish the sentence, “Even though you can find autonomy, have challenging work and make a difference at other companies, you work here because…” When you learn what is most important and enjoyable about working with your company, you can understand what differentiates you from your competitors and craft strategies to become a magnet for the brightest and best talent available.

You will also want to know why your customers choose to do business with you. What is their “because?” The easiest and fastest way to learn a customer's “because” is to ask them: What is the most enjoyable, valuable or rewarding part of doing business with us? Talk to as many customers as you can and learn first-hand your customer’s “because.” Review your list of answers and identify which, if any, you can exploit in highly differentiated ways.

Your organization's distinctions are defined by each customer's unique "because." Identifying these allows you to purposefully create strategies to leave customers seeing you as an indispensable partner in their success.

As a mentee, take time this week to ask either an employee, or a customer, their “because” question and then discuss your responses with your mentor. Your customer or employee will feel important because you asked, and you’ll learn a tremendous amount about how your work is viewed.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

In December, Rainier Club members Gladys Gillis, CEO and owner of Starline Luxury Coaches, and Executive Director of Kindering Mimi Siegel, were awarded with the 2016 Puget

Sound Business Journal Women of Influence award. Gladys and Mimi join a long list of current and previous RC members who are Women of Influence award winners.

Also back in December, RC member Kyle McCoy returned from Antarctica where he finished first in the Last Desert Race – the last race in the 4 Deserts race series. He was met and interviewed at the airport by King 5 TV. Kyle raised more than $65,000 for the Seattle Parks Foundation.

In the January issue of Seattle Business Magazine, Alaska Air Group's Board of Directors was given the Governance Award as part of the 2017 Executive Excellence Awards. We’re proud to see Rainier Club members Brad Tilden, Phyllis Campbell and Patricia Bedient, as well as the rest of Alaska Air’s Board, committed to diversity and inclusion.

In the same issue of Seattle Business Magazine, Rainier Club member and CEO of Pioneer Human Services Karen Lee was honored as a 2017 Executive Excellence Award winner. The annual award celebrates the outstanding achievement of inspirational, C-suite leaders who model exemplary behavior day-to-day.

Congratulations to the Seattle Symphony on its third Grammy Award received on February 12. Symphony Music Director and Rainier Club Fellow Ludovic Morlot was nominated for Best Engineered Album in the classical category.

Also on February 12, Rainier Club member Thomas Kang's innovative company, Xinova, was featured in The Seattle Times. Xinova rents out "brainpower" from thousands of researchers to clients with a "request for invention."

On May 4, 2017, two Rainier Club members will be entered into the Puget Sound Business Journal Hall of Fame. Judy Runstad and Carl Behnke will be celebrated for their lifetime contributions to business in Seattle. Judy became the first female managing partner of law firm Foster Pepper PLLC. She chaired the Federal Reserve Board; served two governors through chairing special commissions; and served on the boards of three public companies. Carl built the second largest Pepsi dealership in North America. Under the leadership of his wife Renee, Carl and his family created what is now one of the nation’s largest specialty cookware companies, Sur La Table.

We're proud of the work our members do to better our community. Through its members, The Rainier Club has a great impact on our city. If you, or a fellow Rainier Club member has done something remarkable, please let us know – we want to share your success and accomplishments.
