PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
May 2015
Business Outlook
A Higher Level
Your Chamber celebrated 98 years during its recent annual banquet. It’s a great event, not because it’s an
acknowledgement of the many successes the Chamber had this past year, as in every year, but because
it’s an opportunity to recognize people who have a deep passion for their craft and this community.
Even when the economy is stronger, small businesses have to take serious stock of how they operate and
what they can do to thrive. This year’s Small Business of the Year winners are notable because of their
high level of commitment to serving their customers. Data Graphics is best known as a custom printing
operation, but in recent years has expanded its base of products to include a wide array of promotional
items that help its customers promote their own businesses. The winner in the 10+ employee category,
Rob O’Brian, President Boyd Metals, has grown by adding to its capacity to custom fabricate steel and other metal products to
rigid specifications demanded by its expanding customer base. In the not-for-profit sector, Habitat for Humanity is well recognized for its immediate and continuing efforts to help provide good housing for people displaced by the tornado.
But more recently, the organization has expanded its opportunities with ReStore, providing people a place to find low-cost items for
their own homes, with the funds generated supporting Habitat’s ongoing efforts.
Our Industries of the Year are great representatives of the fact that, large or small, our companies have a great impact. Our large Industry of the Year, Able Manufacturing & Assembly, has been a recognized name in Joplin for 60 years. Beginning with a single product
line, making Bunny Brad trucks, the company today is engaged in a number of parts and complete installations across a variety of
sectors. Thirty years ago, the company was purchased by the Hillenbrand family, who led the company to diversify. With the economic
downturn in 2009, many of the company’s major customers lost business, in turn causing a significant negative impact on this local
firm. However, the family continued to support the firm and, with a new direction and local support, the company has grown its workforce by 20 percent in the last year and continues to find new opportunities.
Our Small Industry of the Year, Component Packaging, began 18 years ago. It was also a family-owned business and one of the first
companies to locate in the newly opened Crossroads Park. About 10 years ago, the original owners were bought out by Lori and Mike
Magoulis, who began taking the firm in new directions. The company has expanded its customer base to more than 30 customers
across the U.S. As the company has grown, it has faced significant cost challenges from Chinese competitors, but has met the challenge by becoming the top-quality, customer-focused firm in its arena. Today the company’s 30 employees push an average of two
million packages a week out to its customers.
And then there are the Golden Apple winners: K-2nd grade – Michelle Young, Jefferson Elementary School; 3rd-5th grade – Lisa Satterfield, College Heights Christian School; 6th-8th grade – Julie Pettyjohn, St. Peter’s Middle School and 9th-12th grade – John Atteberry,
Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School. All of these teachers personify the commitment to quality education and dedication to
student success in all of our area schools, public and private.
Kudos, too, to Cleo Copeland, the winner of this year’s Arty Award. While business and education play major roles in the success of a
community, the arts add to a community’s soul. Cleo’s enthusiasm for all things art energizes anyone who works with her.
The Chamber’s Young Professional of the Year is Shawn Daniel of Commerce Bank. Shawn’s dedication to the YPN’s community service projects made him an easy choice for his peers. And the YPN’s Rookie of the Year award went to Stephanie Onstot of The Alliance
of Southwest Missouri.
Finally, a warm congratulations to Peggy Fuller, the Chamber’s Outstanding Citizen. Peggy has a strong commitment to enhancing
both the arts and education in our area. She was a founding member and is currently Chairman of the Joplin Schools Bright Futures
program. She was an original Teaching Reading to Every Kid coach when the Chamber began that program a decade ago. She has also
been a strong supporter of Spiva and Pro Musica.
These companies and individuals remind us that great, positive things happen every day. The companies and organizations are committed to their employees and the community. The individuals give of their time, talent and treasure to lend a helping hand, to raise
others up and to make this a better place. And all of them are an inspiration for all of us to reach for a higher level.

2015-2016 Executive Committee
Presented by
Message to the Network from
Chairman Nicole Brown
April marked the changing of the guard in
Young Professionals Network (YPN) leadership. I am
grateful for the opportunity to step into the chair
role with Brent Baker as co-chair. Lindsey Hayes
did an excellent job of leading the organization in
2014-2015, and I would like to extend a personal
thank you for her service. The executive team,
made up of returning members Shawn Daniel,
Jake Heisten, Ryan Melton, Greg Sutton, Megan
Tyler, Christina Williams and Lindsey Hayes, along
with new executive team members Jennifer Little
and Stephanie Onstot, convened for the annual
planning retreat in mid-April. The membership
provided feedback for the retreat at the quarterly
meeting in March. Members weighed in on
initiatives they would like to add, change, continue
and discontinue in the coming year.
Many people in the community are surprised to
learn YPN is only seven years old. Growing to 185
members in 2015, we have completed 2,020 hours
of volunteer activities in the community. These
hours only include those completed at YPN events
and barely scratch the surface of the impact young
professionals have in the community.
Recently, a challenge was issued for four
percent of the YPN membership to serve on the

board of directors for organizations in our area. However, we
quickly realized this goal was already surpassed before its start.
This conversation did help us realize we could do a better job
of recognizing and celebrating our young professionals’ service
to the community. We are compiling a list of YPN members
currently serving on boards. We will also explore opportunities
to prepare young professionals for board service and connecting
them with board openings.
My challenge to JACC members is to look for young
professionals in the community you can mentor, engage and
empower. The membership is made up of talented and energetic
individuals, many of whom are looking for an opportunity to
impact the community but have not yet been asked to take a
seat at the table. Ask for their input, opinion and time; they will
impress you with their perspective and level of commitment.
Congratulations to 2015 Super Leaders
The Super Leader program is a joint effort between Missouri
Southern State University and the Joplin Area Chamber of
Commerce Young Professionals Network to identify, cultivate
and motivate future community leaders currently enrolled in
college. The following students were inducted in late April.

Chamber Sponsorships
by Cynthia Marlow
JACC sponsorships are a great way to promote
your business! All of our sponsor opportunities
are designed to be a strong and effective part of
your marketing strategy. Our audience is made up
of your fellow JACC members, who make great,
loyal customers. We have many different types
of sponsorships, and it may surprise you how
affordable many of them are. While affordable,
they are also valuable, offering you the chance to
show off your products and services to members
while supporting the programs and events from
which we all benefit.
We all love to eat! We host many functions that
include food: Board lunches, lunches with the
president, Chamber Connection, etc. Restaurant
and catering members have the opportunity to be
food sponsors for these events and programs. It
allows the attendees to discover and enjoy food
from our member restaurants and gives them a
true experience of what that restaurant offers. Of
course, we always recognize our food sponsors,
and these are trade opportunities.
Also, we all love to shop! Well, most of us. But,
whether you enjoy shopping or not, we all must
do it. For an investment of just $200, our Sponsor
Spotlight table can be your store window for an
entire month. You can use it to showcase creative
product displays and information, which we keep
neat and stocked for you. You are welcome to
host giveaways and drawings on the table, and
advertise your products and services to everyone
who comes into the JACC office.

Worker misclassification, or 1099 Fraud, negatively impacts both workers and businesses. Worker misclassification
is when a business misclassifies an employee as an independent contractor to avoid paying certain taxes.
Misclassified workers may not be able to receive health insurance or pension plans and could be denied
unemployment benefits, workers’ compensation insurance and other benefits.
Worker misclassification also generates substantial losses to the Treasury and Social Security Medicaid Funds, as
well as the state unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation funds. The reduction in funds increases the
employers’ financial liability.
Some forms of misclassification occur when
workers are not reported to the state or federal
government but, rather, are working “off the books”
or being paid “under the table” in cash. If a business
intentionally or accidentally misclassifies their workers, they are still in violation of the law.
In determining the existence of the independent contractor relationship, the Division of Employment Security
reviews if the employer retains the right to control how the results are accomplished or only has input on the results
desired. It is not necessary that the business actually direct or control the manner in which their services are performed,
so long as the business retains the right do to so.
To find out if you are properly classifying your workers, take the department’s Worker Misclassification Assessment
by visiting Labor's Off the Books page. (Source: Department of Labor & Industrial Relations)

Exporting May Provide YOUR Business with
a Viable Means to Increase Sales
By Karen Bradshaw
If you have an existing business that successfully
produces a product or provides a professional service,
selling that product in markets outside the United
States may well present a growth opportunity for
your business.
Why Should Your Business Consider Exporting?
• Access. Today, improvements in trade finance, the
Internet and trade agreements have dramatically
increased access to markets worldwide.
• Demand. More than 70 percent of the world’s
purchasing power is located outside the United
States. Your competitors are increasing their
global market share, and you can, too.
• Profitability. Exporting can be
profitable for businesses of all
sizes. On average, sales grow
faster, more jobs are created
and employees earn more
than in non-exporting firms.
• Competitive Advantage. The
United States is known throughout
the world for high-quality, innovative
goods and services, customer service and
sound business practices.
• Risk Mitigation. Most companies that export have
an easier time riding out fluctuations in the U.S.
economy and are more likely to stay in business.
Source: www.export.gov
Where Do International Trade Opportunities
Lie?
To succeed in exporting, you must first identify
the most profitable international markets for your
products or services.
Here are a few tips:
18
• Thorough market research is key to success.
Understanding your export markets will give
you vital information about how to manage your
efforts.
• Do not choose too many markets. For most small
businesses, three foreign markets will be more
than enough, initially. You may want to test one
market and then move on to secondary markets
as your experience level develops.
• Focusing on regional, geographic clusters of
countries can also be more cost effective than
choosing markets scattered around the globe.
Source: www.export.gov
It is important to note, though,
that without proper guidance and
assistance, market identification
activities can be time consuming
and costly, particularly for a small
business.
With this in mind, the Joplin
Area Chamber and the Missouri
Small Business & Technology
Development Center, located at MSSU,
have resources available to assist.
MAKE PLANS NOW TO ATTEND the “Where’s
YOUR Export Market? Seminar that will take place
Wednesday, May 6, at 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the
Chamber office. This hands-on interactive session
is designed to provide insight and information
on actions your business can take to successfully
identify, research and enter new international
markets.
Contact JACC at 417.624.1996 TODAY to register.
For assistance to grow your business’ domestic
and/or international sales, contact the MO Small
Business & Technology Development Centers
(MO SBTDC) at www.missouribusiness.net or

New Virtual Option Added! Are you an arm-chair athlete?
Can't be in Joplin on May 16th? We've added a virtual option!
You asked for it, we're doing it! The concept is simple: Go out and create a course on the road, on a trail, a track,
or even on a treadmill, and run your race!. Bask in your accomplishment knowing you've contributed to rebuild
Joplin and wait for your finisher's medal and race shirt to come in the mail (which will ship at the end of May).
While you run, make sure there are plenty of photos taken. Upload your photos to Instagram, Tweet with the
hashtag #joplinmemorialvirtualrun, or post on our Facebook page. Show us how creative you can be!
The cost for the virtual half is $75, and $35 for the 5k. We cannot transfer you to the virtual category if you have
previously registered for another category. The deadline for the virtual race is the same as the Joplin event.
Online registration is available until Midnight CST, May 13th, 2015.

Joplin vs. Springfield: The Chamber Challenge Race to Bronze
The Show-Me Heroes Chamber Challenge invites all chambers of commerce,
as well as their members, to take the pledge to actively recruit veterans and
service members for available positions. When a chamber reaches at least 10
percent of its members pledged, they receive Bronze-level recognition.
Race to Bronze is a little competition within the Chamber Challenge to
see which chamber—Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce or Springfield Area
Chamber of Commerce—will reach Bronze first. They are currently neck and
neck in attaining 10 percent of their members pledged. Stay tuned—we hope to
announce the winner soon!
Show-Me Heroes encourages your business to take the pledge today, if you
haven’t already done so. There will be social media updates for the two chambers
for friendly encouragement throughout the
#RaceToBronze competition. If you see these
on Facebook or Twitter, be sure to retweet
or like the posts using the #RaceToBronze
hashtag! To see the Race to Bronze social media
action, like Show-Me Heroes on Facebook and
