Central Iowa Works receives $600,000 grant Central Iowa Works Funding Collaborative has begun using LinkedIn as a tool to help jobseekers connect with employers. Developing the social media-based initiative is one of several ways the collaborative will use a two-year, $600,000 grant to expand its efforts to train workers in key industry sectors. Announced last week by the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, the grant was matched by $150,000 provided by United Way of Central Iowa, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, Des Moines Area Community College and other organizations. Established three years ago to replace the scan-dal-ridden Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium (CIETC), Central Iowa Works has de-veloped job-training and career-support programs in partnership with employers in three key sectors: health care, energy and fi nancial services. Central Iowa Works was initially funded by a three-year, $450,000 grant that ended in September. Based on its success in its initial three years, the

organization was invited to apply for the competi-tive grant, said Jane Fogg, director of fi nancial sta-bility for United Way. With the new funding, Central Iowa Works will be able to build on the existing workforce partnerships and also establish an ad-vanced manufacturing partnership. “The goal here is to improve our delivery sys-tem for how we prepare adults for the work force in Central Iowa,” Fogg said. “We’re paying attention to those who might be under-educated or might need retraining. We really want to pay attention to the folks that want to work but who need new skills.” Using a members-only group established on LinkedIn, the Collaborative has begun providing cli-ents of the health-care workforce partnership with connections to employers, Fogg said, with plans to expand the tool to the other industry partnerships. “It’s a labor exchange,” she said. “We think that bringing pre-screened people to the employers saves them time and money, and increases the like-lihood of a quick hire. And it’s good for jobseekers, because at least they know what skills are required.”

Despite signifi cant occupational growth in the past six years, total infor-mation technology (IT)-related jobs in Iowa have a 0.70 location quo-tient, meaning the sector has 30 percent less concentration of jobs than the U.S. average for employment in this sector, according to a report by the Battelle Technology Partnership Practice. IT is still a relatively small sector of the state’s economy. In 2009, the sector represented 2 percent of all Iowa private-sector jobs, and 3 percent of private-sector output.

A Closer Look

PHOTO BY CHELSEA KEENAN

JENNIFER CHITTENDEN About: Chittenden, the new executive director of the Des Moines Downtown Chamber of Commerce, started her position on Sept. 20. Before working at the chamber, she worked in client relations for Tero International Inc., a company that specializes in corporate training, and in advertising and recruitment at the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Education: Chittenden attended the University of Iowa, where she started out as a pre-med student before deciding to change and received a bachelor’s degree in communication studies.

Hometown: Sioux Rapids

Family: Chittenden’s husband, Aaron, works as a planner for West Des Moines. They have two children: Dante, 7, and Alexandria, 4.

What made you want to work for the Downtown Chamber of Commerce? This summer, I wanted to try something a little dif-ferent. I was involved with a lot of activities outside of Tero, and so I wanted to be more involved with the community. I was on the board of the American Society of Training and Development, ASTD – I was the program-ming VP for three years, where I arranged different events and programs. I’m also on the board of the Civic Music Association – which is focused on jazz and classical music. And I’m involved with the Central Iowa Shelter & Services – I started up the PR committee about three years ago. And all of that interaction really immersed me in the com-munity, and I wanted to get to the point where I could give back, and this position offers that.

What are some of the goals you’ve set for yourself and the chamber? Well, goals are always changing for a chamber. But coming into this, my imme-diate goal is to get to know who our members are; why are they members; what is sustaining their member-ship; what would they like to see in the community that would assist them with their business? The chamber’s motto is “Connections that Count,” so whatever we do needs to resonate with creating con-nections that count for our members. It’s in the events;

it’s in just absolutely every-thing that we do. We just started inviting our members to come to our board meetings, so they can teach us about something specifi c that matters to them – something, maybe, we don’t know as a board. What are some of thechallenges you’re facing? It’s a very new chamber, which is one of our chal-lenges as a chamber. Being so new, you really do have to take a look at where we’re going and take a look at add-ing value to our members. In essence our job is to create those connections that count but also really be there to be a support system to help them grow, to fi nd com-monalities with other mem-bers and to look for ways to link them together. You know, really foster-ing that sense of community with our members, where they feel like they can come together, share expertise and just really grow together as a business community.

What are some skills you developed at your past jobs that you think will help you with this one? When I was at Tero, I developed a really great habit of writing thank you notes to follow up after meetings. And that is an ac-tivity that I’m bringing into this position as well so that the people I meet know that I respect them and that they matter. And I feel like a thank you note conveys that so beautifully. And from my newspa-

per experience, I got an eye for communication that is involved. I’m looking at what com-munications are we offering? How do they convey a cer-tain message? In what ways can we enhance that for our members? How can we reach a broader base?

So what are you working on right now to get acquainted with your new job? I’m personally meeting all of our members right now. I like to hear peo-ple’s stories. Everybody is unique, everybody has a story and everybody wants to tell their story. And when you take a moment to just sit there, put yourself in their shoes and try to experience it the way that they see it, it opens your perspective. And I think that’s one of the beauties of this posi-tion, you can get so many people’s perspective. The fi rst part of the job of course, is learning to do day-to-day functions so we’re not disrupting what our members are expecting. And so you want to maintain that balance for them, and continue to deliver more as you go along.

Do you have any hobbies? My hobby is a shared hobby with the whole fami-ly: Music is a big part of who we are as a family. Aaron, my husband, sings in the Des Moines chorale society, and I play the piano. One of my life goals is to play the piano at Von Maur.

This isn’t your father’s public transporta-tion system – or at least it won’t be for

much longer. The Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority (DART) recently unveiled its DART Forward 2035 long-term plan. The plan represents a framework for how DART can become a truly regional bus system in Greater Des Moines. It also will present a radical shift in the way the system operates, aiming to provide more frequent service. “I think this is a huge step for public tran-sit,” said DART Commissioner Christine Hensley, vice president of community and government affairs at Bank of the West. “We have not made changes to routes ever in the history (of the bus system). We’ve made little changes here and there, but this is a signifi cant change and we’ve gone through such an extensive process to gather input and take that all into account. I feel that this will really put public transit at a much high-er level than we know it today.”

WHAT’S CHANGING• Routes: The plan focuses less on changing routes and more on improving what offi cials call the network of DART, making it easier to get to more places more frequently. There are plans for splitting some current routes into two separate routes to simplify the time schedule for riders. Also, some routes will be realigned to serve what DART be-lieves will be more riders than the current route. Route 91, which starts in Johnston, was shifted from Beaver Avenue to Merle Hay Road. Routes 11 and 5 will be scaled back in service after people spoke against DART’s original plan to cut them during public meetings. DART is also building in more fl ex routes in suburban areas.

• Peak express/reverse commute: Offi cials want to make it easier for people to commute to and from work without having to wait

on the bus. To do that, they plan to up the number of trips from the suburbs to downtown – and vice versa – during peak commuter times. DART is putting an emphasis on getting people to the suburbs for work as opposed to just getting people downtown. Beyond peak hours, the plan calls for more routes to allow for spontaneous use through more frequent service.

• Crosstown routes: A major theme of the plan is making DART a more regional transit system. A big part of that is making it easier to get from one suburb to another without having to go downtown, which is what a “crosstown” route 50, along Douglas Avenue and Euclid Avenue, is intended to do. The route will meet up with route 51, which takes it all the way through Clive and West Des Moines. Route 52 will run from downtown to Clive and West Des Moines along Interstate 235 and loop around Jordan Creek Parkway, Mills Civic Parkway and Interstate 35. DART also hopes to add in more transfer points to allow other routes to connect and function as a crosstown service.

• Circulator loops: Long-term 2035 plans call for a circulator route in West Des Moines and Ankeny. Other plans include express services that primarily circulate in the core of downtown.

•Bus-rapid transit: DART is exploring an idea called bus-rapid transit on a new loop on University and Ingersoll avenues between 42nd Street and downtown. Bus-rapid transit is described as a rail system using buses. The loop could potentially allow buses to change traffi c lights, making for more frequent arrival times. Offi cials hope to have the route itself in place by next year, and funding will determine when they are able to add elements of bus-rapid transit.

IMPLEMENTATION DART is aiming to implement most changes by 2020, with some bigger idea-type goals on paper for 2035. There will be changes immediately. Year one through three of implementation includes restructuring routes and discontinuing routes that are going away. It also includes continuously targeting routes on which the frequency can be upped. DART plans to imple-ment the University/Ingersoll bus-rapid transit route in the third year.

Mid-term goals, defi ned as the four- to six-year time period, include increasing frequency in the urban core and building the crosstown route to the western suburbs. Long-term goals, or goals that are ex-pected to be implemented in seven to 10 years, focus on investing in additional spontaneous use routes.

WHAT CAN BUSINESSES DO? Gayman would like to see efforts by private companies to embrace the bus service. “I think right now we’ve got a number of not only downtown em-ployers, but we’ve got suburban employers that don’t know enough about DART and the services it offers,” he said. “These businesses need to look at that it may be cost-effective to participate fi nancially in the DART program so I can get my employees from home to work and from work to home quickly and effi ciently, and it may be benefi -

cial at the end of the day for the employer as well.” Gayman would like to see public-private partnerships between DART and busi-

nesses that could benefi t from it. That could include businesses helping pay for the ser-vice. The payoff, he said, could include an ease of congestion, especially downtown, an easier way for employees to get to and from work and a more environmentally friendly method of travel. “I think (businesses’) rebuttal is going to be, ‘Well it’s got to be dependable, it’s got to be fast, it’s got to be cost-effective’ – and it does,” Gayman said. “That’s what it

all has to be.” Gayman brought the idea up at the DART Commission meeting on Sept. 27 when

the plan was passed, and challenged DART staff to see if they could reach out to business-es to see how they could best work together and make the situation a “win-win” for employees.

QUALITY OF LIFE Des Moines is a city that heavily relies on cars to get from one place to another. But strong public transportation is a key quality of life issue that would help Des Moines attract business talent and make the city better for people who already live here, DART offi cials say. As DART Commission Chairperson Angela Connolly puts it, one of the important things people look for in a city, behind oceans and mountains, is public transportation. “I think people really want to have options,” Connolly said. “And we’ve got 80,000 people working downtown, we have a lot of people that work out of the suburbs – they want to be able to use pub-lic transportation. That’s what we heard.” Right now, DART doesn’t necessarily make it easy for people to use the bus, with long wait times and low frequencies. The plan is designed to make it easier for people to walk up to a bus stop and know their ride will arrive within 15 minutes. More transfer points will also make it easier to get across the metro more quickly. Those things have the potential to make Des Moines less reliant on driving and more of a public transit city. That can pay dividends for the city’s image, DART General Manager Elizabeth Presutti said. “By improving our public transit system it only enhances our ability to attract a busi-ness to Greater Des Moines,” she said. I don’t know that we’ll necessarily know until it’s too late that we lost out on an opportunity because we haven’t invested enough in our public transit system to attract that business.”

THE COST DART is proposing property tax increases of between 10 and 17 cents per $1,000 valuation next year, and between 8 and 12 cents during each of the next four fi scal years after that. For a commercial parcel valued at $1 million, that would add up to a 5-year total of anywhere between a $420 and $650 increase. “It is going to cost more mon-ey,” Presutti said. “The feedback that I’ve gotten to date is people recognize that we’re at a fork in the road. We either move forward or we kind of go back-

wards. I think everybody wants to see DART be successful and move forward, and part of that is improving the level of service that we offer to the community.” Connolly pointed out that the tax increase is not just because of the plan. DART faces a $5 million budget gap in fi scal year 2015, and would have to ask for a levy increase anyway. “We had to decrease routes two years ago; we’ve been struggling with our bud-get really ever since we tinkered with the (funding formula) in 2008,” Connolly said. The plan provides an integral piece of the puzzle. Before, DART offi cials didn’t feel confi dent in raising tax rates until they had a plan to show the member com-munities what they would get in return for paying more. Offi cials say early reviews of the plan have been good.

THINK AS A REGION DART recently celebrated its fi fth birthday as a regional transit system. The 2035 plan is a key document in making the system truly regional, of-fi cials say. When DART was formed, there was no such plan, which made the tran-sition, and getting communities to commit fi nancially to the service, diffi cult. “We had several requests, particularly as we went through the funding formula changes (in 2008), about really wanting to see what DART was going to do in the future,” Presutti said. “We didn’t have any documents or hadn’t looked at the system from a regional perspective, and that’s what this plan has accomplished.” There will likely be strong discussion by some suburbs as to if the service is valuable enough to pay for it. DART Commission member and Urbandale City Councilman Tom Gayman thinks that all the communities will realize the benefi ts after their own internal analysis. “At the end of the day, if it’s done right, I think it can work,” Gayman said.

Imagine that you’ve been kidnapped, shot at and beaten while trying to se-cure a Nigerian pipeline contract for

your American-based company. Then, federal agents fi nd out you’ve handed off a briefcase with $1 million in $100 bills, knowing that it’s destined for a Nigerian of-fi cial. All the while, you believe you’re operating to the company’s benefi t and with its blessing. All those travails; all that evidence. What to do? Cooperate, said Mark Weinhardt, whose experience as a white-collar crime specialist at Belin McCormick P.C. has carried into a new private practice, Weinhardt & Logan P.C. The story about an American busi-nessman in Nigeria is true. Jim Bob Brown was convicted last year for his part in a scheme to deliver $6 million to Nigerian offi cials to win a natural gas pipeline contract in that country for Wilbros Group, a Houston contrac-tor that eventually agreed to pay $32.3 million in penalties. Brown was facing 10 to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He was sentenced to one year and a day and fi ned $175,000. Prosecutors spoke on his behalf at sen-tencing. A federal judge said he was re-luctant to hand down a heavy sentence, but noted that Brown also delivered bribes in Ecuador for Wilbros. For its part, the company contact-ed federal authorities when it found out that Wilbros and a partner were delivering bribes. Weinhardt said his advice to Brown was to cooperate with authorities. That advice was based on a career of watching companies do the right thing and the wrong thing when con-fronted with an investigation into al-leged wrongdoing. Some of Weinhardt’s practice has been outside of Iowa, such as the bribery case, but enough of it has oc-curred in Iowa to convince him and Holly Logan that they could break away from Belin and make a go of it on their own. “There’s not a shortage of work in Iowa,” Weinhardt said. He currently is appealing the sentence of a northwest Iowa man who was convicted as part of federal investigation into a conspiracy to fi x the price of ready-mix concrete. Weinhardt has several pieces of advice for executives who fi nd out

that their companies are facing allega-tions of criminal wrongdoing. And for business leaders who worked their way up the ladder through fast action and on-the-spot decision making, a key caution is to be patient. Don’t start fi ring people, don’t break out the paper shredder, don’t act before contacting counsel. Two scenarios typically play out in white-collar crime, Weinhardt said. In the fi rst, a company benefi ts from illegal acts carried out by the company or an employee who be-lieves the actions are being carried out with the bosses’ knowledge. Many companies believe that such a scenario could not play out for them. They could be thinking wrong. In the second, the company really is the victim, maybe of a colossal embez-zlement. In those circumstances, compa-nies usually are led to do the right thing, which is to contact law enforcement. Executives might “leap to the as-sumption that they only have to wor-ry about the second, but the reality is they need to think about the fi rst one,” Weinhardt said. “The fi rst case is stickier. It is where people are more ignorant, and ignorance can cause more damage. “In the fi rst case, where left to their

own devices, they get to the wrong out-come. They destroy documents, they try to cover things up; in an effort to be more cooperative, they often say the wrong things to law enforcement.” Warning signs typically tip off that a company or an employee is under investigation. The serving of a search warrant is an obvious signal. “You’re pretty far down the road then,” Weinhardt said. Others are when a company fi nds out that employees are being inter-viewed by agents or a grand jury sub-poena is delivered. “Oftentimes, law enforcement doesn’t show up at the door of the people they think are principally re-sponsible fi rst; they start around the periphery,” Weinhardt said. “They don’t come to the workplace, they go to peo-ple’s houses; they show up at dinner time, they show up at breakfast time, they try to catch people off balance.” And if something bad has just hap-pened, such as a manure spill at a feed lot, it might be safe to bet that civil and criminal inquiries will be launched. “The fi rst meeting or the fi rst con-versation with government agents can be catastrophic or it can be produc-tive, depending on how it’s managed,” he said.

DOInvestigate the facts of the matter thoroughly – but do so through counsel, so that the results of the investigation can be kept confi -dential.

Learn immediately what law enforce-ment agency or agencies could be looking at the com-pany. Get business cards and phone numbers where possible.

Consult with coun-sel before making any corporate moves – such as employee termina-tion or discipline – in reaction to the problem.

DON’TDestroy or alter documents that have any conceiv-able relevance to the problem. This includes electronic documents, such as emails.

Tell employees or witnesses not to talk to law enforce-ment, and don’t tell them what to say to law enforcement.

Tell employees that the company’s law-yer is everybody’s lawyer. Confl icts of interest often prohibit one lawyer from representing everyone.

Melinda Ellwanger has spent much of her ca-reer as a lawyer working for a pacesetter in the profession, Roxanne Conlin.

Not surprising then that Ellwanger is charting new territory in the Greater Des Moines legal community by setting off on her own as a freelance attorney for hire. Ellwanger was a Drake University law student when she began clerking for Conlin, among the fi rst women appointed as a U.S. attorney in the country, a member of the Iowa Women’s Hall of Fame, and a mag-net for big cases that focus on individual rights. Two years ago, Ellwanger decided to entertain her entrepreneurial muse and start a practice that requires little more than a home offi ce, an Internet connection and lots of contacts in the legal community – and no small amount of fearlessness. “Frankly, she has always been fearless by nature,” Conlin said. Freelance attorneys are not new to the profession, but they are unique to Greater Des Moines. Nation-ally, the trend of independent attorneys offering their services to corporate fi rms gained steam in 2010, ac-cording to one national legal observer, after large fi rms began outsourcing work in an effort to cut costs during the economic downturn. Individual freelancers also face some new compe-tition in the form of larger companies that offer rou-tine legal services. Thomson Reuters purchased legal outsourcing fi rm Pangea3 two years ago, and at the time said it planned to expand the company’s pres-ence in the United States. Pangea3 is headquartered in Mumbai, India, where

it has 650 employees and has shown revenues growth of 20 percent an-nually, with revenues last year of about $1 billion. Thomson Reuters said at the time of the acquisition that

it would provide services to large law fi rms and corporate legal de-partments. In Iowa, where clients tend to want to look their lawyer in the eye, such services have yet to catch on. That face-to-face mindset could work to Ellwanger’s disadvantage, too, said Anjela Shutts, an attorney with Whitfi eld & Eddy P.L.C. and president-elect of the Polk County Bar Association. “The legal profession in Iowa is fairly traditional; change is hard for us,” she said. “But it’s also hard for the client.” Ellwanger knows she is trying to crack a tradition-bound market. “Traditional professions can be slow to adapt to something new,” she said. “This brings a new approach to the table.” On the other hand, it didn’t take long for law fi rms to see the value in her work. “I was pretty busy from the start,” Ell-wanger said. She believes her practice is close to the point where she can bring other attor-neys into the fi rm. At Conlin Law, Ellwanger focused on prac-ticing primarily in the areas of employment discrimination, professional malpractice, civil

rights, personal injury and prod-ucts liability. In her private practice, she offers services on an hourly ba-sis, primarily to smaller fi rms that might lack the resources to write a last-minute brief, for example. Other ser-vices are research, preparing appeals, prepping attorneys for depositions, doc-ument management, client intake and in-vestigations. “What makes Mindy unique is that she is right here. She has a fabulous work ethic and she can do work accurately. She is just a very gifted writer,” Conlin said. Ellwanger specializes in trial preparation and said she prefers working behind the scenes. She has little desire to argue a case before a jury, after working for one of the best in the business. “There is just a lot of behind-the-scenes work that I can do,” Ellwanger said.

Much of her research is ac-complished courtesy of a sub-scription to Westlaw, an online le-gal research service that is owned by Thomson Reuters. Ellwanger said she also under-stands that she must be her own

watchdog in terms of abiding to long-held professional standards regarding confl icts of interest and attorney-client confi dentiality. Large fi rms of-ten use computer software to track clients and guard against confl icts. Ellwanger keeps a client list that she checks before accept-ing a job and in order to avoid confl icts.

There are practical business concerns to be navigated, also. A national legal publication has chided law schools for not anticipating the proliferation of freelance lawyers and offering courses that would prepare stu-dents for going it alone. Ellwanger has learned business

management largely by trial and er-ror. There are an increasing number of online forums and a LinkedIn group for freelance lawyers that cov-er many of the pitfalls of freelancing. She also has had to learn how to market the business. Ellwanger has a website, www.freelancelawyeriowa.com, she has joined LinkedIn, and she attends a range of attorney func-tions, such as trial lawyer conven-tions. In addition, she has had the benefi t of working with Conlin for more than a decade. Paige Fiedler, of the four-attorney fi rm Fiedler & Timmer P.L.L.C., was a clerk in Conlin’s offi ce at the same time Ellwanger worked there. Now, her fi rm is one of Ellwanger’s clients. “The advantage Melinda brings is that she is an experienced lawyer and the quality of her work is a lot better than somebody who is just starting out,” Fiedler said. “It’s sure nice to be able to call somebody who you have confi dence in.” After two years, Ellwanger is getting her feet on the ground. “I’m hitting my stride, and I’m feeling more comfortable with it,” she said.

Congratulations on getting that job interview. The economy still isn’t very good and compa-

nies aren’t hiring much, but here’s your chance to impress. Polish your presentation skills. Wear your best suit. And make sure to work on your handshake, because in some cases, it could be the differ-ence in getting the job. A study we performed at the University of Iowa’s Henry B. Tippie College of Business provided data that reinforced what we already suspected: Handshakes are one of the most important parts of a job interview. Studies have shown that interviewers make up their minds about a candidate within the fi rst minute or two of the interview, and a good handshake is a big part of creating a good fi rst impression. In our study, we utilized the mock job interviews that the uni-versity’s career services offi ce ar-ranges for undergraduates. The sessions give students a chance to practice their interview skills with real employers in the Iowa City-Ce-dar Rapids area so they’re polished and prepared when the time comes to interview for actual jobs.

We also surreptitiously had those students meet with a separate group of trained handshake raters who act-ed as greeters or escorts. These hand-shake raters scored each student on the strength of their grip, and then asked the interviewers to score each student on their hireability. When we com-

pared those two scores, we found a direct correlation between those who had better hand-shakes and those

whom the interviewers con-sidered the most hireable. The handshake, we found, sets the tone for the interview. Interviewers probably don’t consciously remem-ber a person’s handshake or wheth-er it was good or bad, but it is one of the fi rst non-verbal clues we get about the person’s personality. The handshake also sets us apart from other candidates. Job seekers are so heavily trained in interview skills that we all talk, dress, answer questions and act alike to some de-gree. But the handshake seems to be more individual and subtle, so it may communicate something that dress

or physical appearance doesn’t. Generally, we found students who are more extroverted scored high on the handshake, so they also scored better with the interviewers because of greater ease with small

talk, eye contact and other social skills. Those who are less gregarious have weaker handshakes and were less impressive. We also found that women benefi t more than men from having a good handshake. So what makes a good handshake? We found these elements are most important: • A good, fi rm grip on

the palm, not a weak grasp of the fi ngers, but not so strong it causes pain. • A vigorous, up-and-down movement lasting 2 or 3 seconds. • Solid eye contact. That’s something that is important in ev-ery business setting.

Greg Stewart is a professor of management and organizations at the University of Iowa’s Henry B. Tippie College of Business.

As 2011 began, the president and CEO of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA)

asked Congress to move forward with a law raising the lending cap for that organization’s members. With the U.S. economy strug-

gling to get healthy, and politicians loud-ly calling for action to shake loose more lending to small busi-nesses, one would

think this would have fallen into the “low-hanging fruit” category. However, as Republican presi-dential candidate Rick Perry noted last month in a Des Moines speech to the Iowa Credit Union conven-tion, nothing has happened yet. Since 1998, credit unions have been limited to lending no more than 12.25 percent of total assets. Bill Cheney, president of CUNA, wrote to Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Govern-ment Reform, in January, saying: “In the last Congress, when the admin-istration proposed spending $30 bil-lion of taxpayer money to encourage community banks to lend to small businesses, credit unions encour-aged Congress to pass legislation to increase the credit union member business lending cap from its current level, 12.25 percent of total assets, to 27.5 percent of total assets. “The National Credit Union Ad-ministration, the federal regulator for credit unions, has testifi ed that any risk associated with additional credit union business loans is manageable and that the cap is not needed for safety and soundness reasons.” IowaPolitics.com recently report-ed: “The Credit Union National Asso-ciation estimates that lifting the cap would bring 2,495 new jobs to Iowa, or 146,000 nationwide, because of the increased capital that would be inject-ed into the economy.” There’s a lot of guesswork in a prediction like that, but it seems certain that making more money available to small businesses would be a good step forward in our cur-rent predicament. Iowa Credit Union League CEO Patrick Jury was quoted: “This is a common sense solution that should be advanced by this Congress.” Sounds reasonable.

Credit unioncap shouldbe raised

Shake hands with success

Up in North Dakota, wells are producing enough natural gas every day to heat a half mil-

lion American homes for a day, which sounds like terrifi c news for an energy-thirsty nation. Unfortu-nately, the well-drillers are trying to fi nd shale oil, so guess what we’re doing with the natural gas? Flaring it. The gas is piped to the surface and burned off into the prairie sky, gone forever. It’s like reaching into your wal-let for a $10 bill and throwing away the fi ves that get in the way. This is a big, rich country. And except for the people you super-vise, it’s an ambitious, hard-work-ing country. If only it were a well-organized country. According to a New York Times story, it’s not economically feasible to capture this daily cornucopia of 100 million cubic feet of natural gas. “The oil companies … argue that they cannot afford to pay for pipe-lines and processing plants,” the article said, “until they actually drill oil wells and calculate how much gas will bubble out of the oil.” It’s hard to argue with that un-less you have experience at extract-ing oil and gas from an area cov-ering 15,000 square miles, like the Bakken shale fi eld. And, let’s be honest, you don’t even change the

oil in your car. It’s just too much work. So we’re left trusting in the magic of the free market. A big nation doing big things is going to have its ineffi ciencies. When you want to fl y from Des Moines west to Los Angeles, the best choice might involve fl ying east to Milwaukee fi rst. If you want to take an Amtrak train east to Chicago (actually, you don’t get to take it yourself, you just get to ride along; what a dis-appointment that was), you start by driving 60 miles south to Osceola. It’s good that the lights in the freezers at the Hy-Vee supermar-

ket in Altoona are dark when I en-ter the aisle, then fl ip on as I walk past – maybe when you walk past, too, although I would have no way of knowing that. But the lights on countless quiet streets and lonely rural intersections glow all night long, doing not much good and an-noying the owls. Also, many stores stay open ev-ery night with no motion sensors at all, lights blazing, serving only a handful of people who are trying to escape society’s notice. It would be much more energy-effi cient to make them shop with the rest of us. Apes, Apple and the Apollo space program adapted to change, and

the night people can, too. We run our air conditioners hard enough to make our June, July and August offi ces feel a lot like January. Now that it’s fall, farm truck and tractor engines idle for hours while the drivers wait for the com-bines or wait to unload at the grain elevator. Or sometimes they just get so caught up in what Rush has to say that they forget they’re farming. In short, we’re wasting more energy than previous generations used to build the nation up. It’s discouraging to think of all that fuel being sacrifi ced in North Dakota. We wonderful Iowans are cluttering our beautiful countryside with wind turbines, just trying to help the cause, and those dunder-heads can’t think of a way to hang on to fossil fuel. “This is not what you would expect a civilized, effi cient society to do,” the Times quoted an energy expert as saying. We’re relatively civilized, if you don’t count professional wrestling, but effi cient? We heat houses that are twice as big as the ones we grew up in. We tool around in four-wheel-drive pickups in case we get the urge to buy a pool table and then drive through a ditch. Effi ciency? Kind of a hassle.

Here’s a question I often get: Where should I network to get the most leads?

Wrong question. Networking is not about get-ting. It’s about meeting, engaging, establishing rapport, fi nding com-mon ground and giving. Networking works IF you make a strategic plan, target people and plac-es, allocate the time, prepare before you go and do it consistently. There are 4.5 types of network-ing: 1. Attending and participating in events. 2. Being in charge of an event and bringing people together. 3. Being in charge of a group or association. 4. Speaking at a local or national event and being the star of the show. 4.5. Volunteering in your com-munity. Here are a few specifi c exam-ples of what you can do: • Attend cultural or sporting events. They give you a chance to see old friends and meet new ones. • Lead a group at your local chamber of commerce. It’s much more powerful to lead than to go to a business after hours to meet other salespeople and troll for leads. • Speak at a trade show. Don’t just exhibit and look for leads. If

you address attendees with a value message, they will all stop by your booth, compliment you on your speech and WANT to talk to you. • Speak for a Rotary group. You can be a member of Rotary and ba-sically see the same 50 people every week, or you can give a 20-minute speech at each Rotary club (and all civic associations) in your region. If you speak once a week and offer more information in exchange for a business card, it’s likely you’ll get 50 leads a week. • Volunteer for Habitat for Hu-manity or the Red Cross, attend charitable events, or even give out water at a local race. You’ll meet like-minded people, and you’ll feel great for helping.

How do you choose which events to attend? Three ways: 1. Go where you love to go. 2. Go where your customers go. 3. Go where your prospects might be. Here are a few fundamental ground rules to follow that will en-sure maximum enjoyment and max-imum benefi t: • Arrive early. Meet as many people as possible. • Leave late. Maximize your time – especially if the room is full of decision makers. • Don’t drink. You don’t need a beer. You need money. Beer and money don’t mix. Have something of value to say. Play yourself down. Try to fi nd out

what they do. If they ask what you do, have a BRIEF explanation and a GREAT business card. Your 30-sec-ond commercial needs to start with a question. • Talk about positive things and people. OK, so I’ve networked and met someone I want to get to know better. • Where is the best place to meet? Starbucks or a coffee shop. Someplace casual. Someplace inex-pensive. Someplace with WiFi. Some-place where you can sit and talk. • When is the best time to meet? Early – for breakfast. You can avoid traffi c and make a powerful connection. • What do I say, and how do I get to know this person better? My friend Bob Littell is the only person I know who totally gets network-ing. He calls his concept “netweav-ing” (www.netweaving.com). Imagine meeting someone for morning coffee, and rather than asking “what he does” (which you could have found out on Google or his website), you hand him two leads of people in your network who might be good candidates for his business. WOW. That’s netweav-ing. And it works. Do what I have told you above, and people will want to buy from you – no pitch needed.

I can’t remember the world mourning the loss of a business leader in the way we’ve wit-

nessed since the announcement of Steve Jobs’ death. The fact that we FEEL the loss, that we GRIEVE this man’s passing and that we WORRY that no one can take his place tells you something. What other business leader do you have genuine feelings for? What other CEO’s speech did you search for on YouTube? For me, the answer is no one. As I read, watched and listened to the many eulogies and memorials written for Jobs, I kept thinking – but how does who he was and what he was all about relate to you and me? Odds are, we aren’t going to work for a company like Apple. We aren’t going to bring products to mar-ket that literally redefi ne the category. We aren’t going to have hundreds of

thousands of people downloading our “state of the company” addresses. So what’s the takeaway? Other than loving our Apple products and marveling at how they’ve changed our behaviors and habits, how can we emulate the legacy of Steve Jobs when we’re just average Joes? I believe that Steve Jobs was genuine and that he would have been the same Steve Jobs had he run a hardware store or worked in obscurity for his lifetime. Here’s what I think he would have been like, no matter what, and what you and I can strive for: He believed with his whole heart in what he was doing. There were plenty of naysayers, and we all seem to forget that Jobs and Apple had a falling out. But he believed

in it to his core. He believed in it enough to go back and try again. How about you? Do you be-lieve in your product or service to that degree? If the company fi red you, would you fi ght to get back there to fi nish what you started?

He understood the power of simplicity. Whether it was a speech or a product, Jobs boiled things down to the essential and then made it easy for us to grasp. He didn’t blather on; he told us a story that led to one core message that we could remember and retell. Take a look at your website, your brochures, your sales proposals and your presentations. Are you trying to shove fi ve pounds worth of infor-mation and bullet points into a one-pound bag? At a glance, could I tell

you the most important takeaway? He knew you couldn’t fake it long-term. The man was who he was, warts and all. He didn’t try to be anything different. He knew he couldn’t sustain it. He didn’t wear ties because a meeting was im-portant. He didn’t hide his giddi-ness over a new product because it would be unprofessional. He wore his heart on his sleeve because he understood that for many people, he was the brand. And brands are all about consistency and trust. If I visit your offi ce, your web-site or your home, do I see the same person? Do I recognize the same values and beliefs? Even if you don’t own the joint, surely you want to work for a company that shares your values, don’t you? He understood branding. He got it. I think much of his success can be tied to his understanding that every company, big or small, needs to stand for something. If you asked your clients what your company was all about, would they list what you sell or would they talk about what you believe? Godspeed, Steve Jobs – thanks for reminding all of us how it should be done.

Dear G.H.: Holy cannoli. Empire District Electric Co. (EDE-$18.72) does not pay a dividend anymore. Manage-ment suspended the 32-cent quar-terly dividend six months ago, when its Joplin, Mo., service area was devastated by a tornado. The tornado damage will cost EDE about $25 million, and the costs will be capitalized. The suspended dividend, which EDE expects to restore next year, should conserve about $27 million in cash. When the dividend is resumed in 2012, man-agement indicates a smaller payout of 25 cents a quarter. EDE is a teeny-tiny utility with $510 million in revenues. It serves 205,000 electric and gas custom-ers in Missouri. In the last 17 years, EDE managed to grow its dividend by only 4 cents while company rev-enues doubled from $256 million in 1994. In 1994, EDE earned $1.18 per share, and in 2010 (a trouble-free year), EDE posted earnings of $1.17 a share. Not good, that! Unless EDE gets a high buyout offer from Boe-ing or Amazon, there’s not a single reason to own the stock. Meanwhile, I must give you and other readers some good advice: Do not – and I repeat, do not – de-pend upon the Yahoo Finance web-site for fi nancial information. If you insist on checking the site, it’s criti-cal that you verify Yahoo’s fi nancial data with a reputable source, such as your bookie or attorney. The ya-hoos at Yahoo Finance show EDE paying an annual dividend of $1.32, six months after management sus-pended its payout. Mistakes like this are common

with Yahoo. Unfortunately, the em-ployees who run the site sometimes take more than 50 minutes for lunch. When many of those yahoos are gone that long, they’ve gotta be retrained after returning to their cu-bicle. That takes time and money. National Grid PLC (NGG-$48.75) is an interesting utility with 27,000 employees, and it pays a sweet dividend of $3.80 with a solid 7.8 percent yield. Home-ported across the pond in London, NGG has an 8,600-mile gas pipeline network that distrib-utes to 11 million U.K. consumers, and also provides electricity to 3.5 million customers in New York and New England and distributes natu-ral gas via a 4,000-mile pipeline to 3.4 million New York and New Eng-land users. It also owns 57 generat-ing plants in Long Island, N.Y. It also owns and operates elec-tricity interconnects between Eng-land and France, plus three huge liquefi ed natural gas storage facili-ties in Great Britain. In the past 10 years, NGG’s earnings have grown 30 percent, and the payout has increased 50 percent – and so have revenues, which now surpass $22 billion. This appears to be a good util-ity for modest revenue, income and dividend growth. Standard & Poor’s, Market Edge, Reuters, Barclays Cap-ital and Goldman Sachs are recom-mending NGG, and I agree.

A big U.K. utility beats a little outfi t in MissouriDear Mr. Berko: What do you think of Empire District Electric, which, according to Yahoo Finance, has a great 6.5 percent yield? I’d also like your buy/sell opinion on another utility – National Grid, which yields 7.5 per-cent, according to Yahoo Finance.
