Let Us Help Package Your
Marketing Dollars for 2015
As you plan for the upcoming year, consider the unique opportunities that
the Lee’s Summit Chamber provides you in promoting your business.
Chamber partnerships are a unique marketing tool that reaches both
Chamber member businesses as well as the local community. Your
business automatically gains the publicity and brand recognition you
need, in a positive and receptive environment. Business and community
leaders recognize and appreciate companies that help them gain
knowledge and make important contacts.
We offer a limited number of Chamber Partnerships which allow you to
combine all or some of our events into one package. We have created a
menu from which you can customize your partnership. If you are already
planning to participate in some of our events, a partnership package
actually saves you money – and gives you great exposure on our weekly
e-newsletters, Chamber Link and signage.
Watch your mail and email for the 2015 Partnership Packages.
Chamber Committee Highlight - Annual Gala Task Force
The Annual Gala Task Force works behind the scenes in
helping the event go off without a hitch! The primary role
of the task force is putting together an amazing shopping
experience through the auction, which is always a highlight of
the event.
This task force is comprised of wonderful volunteers who
would like to extend the invitation for new members to join the
team. This is a short-term commitment, with one meeting per
month from November-January, and a wrap-up celebration
in February. If you’d like an opportunity to make connections
with fellow members on behalf of the Chamber and be an
integral part in the success of the event, we’d love for you to
join the Annual Gala Task Force! The first meeting is 4 p.m.
Monday, Nov. 10 at the Depot. Contact Chrissy Symes at
816.524.2424 or csymes@lschamber.com for details.

Local Chambers: The Rodney Dangerfields of History?
by Chris Mead
At this time of election campaigns, many local chambers of commerce make news via candidate forums, endorsements,
and more. But after the first Tuesday in November, the silence returns. The U.S., however, would be almost
unrecognizable if the million acts of 7,000 local chambers could somehow be removed from its past. Here are a few
reasons why we’ve forgotten what chambers have done and continue to do:
1. They tend to avoid taking credit. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it
doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”
2. They don’t have overt power and so they must share credit for accomplishments with those who have the final
say, even if the project was the chamber’s idea. This inability to control the whole thing makes poor news copy. “The
chamber was 40 percent responsible for the new convention center” is a headline none of us will ever see.
3. Individuals, not groups, capture our attention. Do we think about the 600,000 shivering French troops outside
Moscow, or the short, charismatic man responsible for it, with his hand inside his vest?
4. Chambers, by design, start things and spin them off. Many festivals, transportation projects, and civic improvements
began at chambers but went on to be managed by other groups. Years later, we forget where it all started.
5. “Rich boy makes good” or “rich boy does good” makes boring copy. Yet most chamber members aren’t rich. And
sometimes these individuals, rich or poor, put their heads together and change their communities in fascinating ways.
6. The business of business people is business. Entrepreneurs are lionized for the way they line their wallets. We don’t
usually think of their other lives, in which they may eclipse their business achievements.
7. “It was inevitable.” Of course if you put influential people in 7,000 cities and towns together, for a dozen or more times
a year for 10, or 50 or 200 years, something’s going to happen. But the real question is, why do some chambers hit it
out of the park, while others hit themselves on the head – sometimes repeatedly?
8. Government organizations and nonprofit groups have proliferated, frequently with the support of chambers of
commerce. It’s not hard to get lost in these many-thicketed woods.
9. Local chambers aren’t ideological. They often lean to the right on general economic and business issues, but when
it comes to getting that bridge funded or a bond issue for a much-needed school, they can veer to the left faster than a
speeding politician. Not being easily classified politically, chambers are not easily grasped by students of history.
10. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1912, is often seen as the leader of local chambers; in some ways
it is, but there is no hierarchy or unified governing body in the American chamber universe. Local chambers are not
“chapters” under the national chamber. The U.S. Chamber, often involving the loose federation of local chambers, has
played a major role in American history. And so, too, have thousands of local chambers, plugging away with on policy,
politics, and place-making since the first one emerged in New York in 1768.
11. Most chamber members are neither saints nor villains. They aren’t ashamed of profits but they want to help their
community. Where’s the hot story in those intertwined goals?
12. Chambers of commerce depend to a significant extent on something you can’t touch. What is the “Atlanta spirit” or
the “Spirit of St. Louis”? While we’ve toned down the boosterism of a century ago, chambers of commerce still rely on
bonds among individuals within the chamber, and within the community, to make things better than they are. Whether
it’s a “rah-rah” spirit or a buttoned-down, urban, noblesse oblige-inspired caring for the
community, it can be very real.
13. Local chambers are “just local.” Where’s the sweep of history and the path of
armies? Where’s the glamour of Main Street? What’s the glory in changing a street-sign
ordinance? And yet, as Tip O’Neill said, “All politics is local.” Jerusalem, Florence, and
Athens are local. From comparatively little places, big things can happen.

Executives and author of The Magicians of Main Street: America and its Chambers of
Commerce, 1768-1945.

HSMC Orizon Boosts IT Services with Acquisition
In an effort to strengthen its consulting services for
information technology services, HSMC Orizon LLC
acquired IT21. The acquisition boosts the capability
and geographic reach of HSMC Orizon’s technology
division. The founders of IT21, Chuck Nuffer and Rick
Mentel, will continue to consult and collaborate with
HSMC Orizon.
Nuffer and Mentel formerly worked as IT professionals
for Western Auto/Parts America, but when the company
was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. in 1998, they started
IT21. The consulting firm became one of the busiest in
the tech sector, which made it attractive to HSMC.
Michael Bohning, president of HSMC’s technology
division, said he was introduced to Nuffer and Mentel
through a mutual acquaintance and liked what he saw
at the company. Benchmarking the firm’s financials
against peers showed it as one of the best in the
business, Bohning said in a release.
“They’ve done a terrific job of building formal
processes, policies and procedures for clients,”
Bohning said in the release. “Whether IT21 is
managing a client’s servers, workstations and security,
or managing a more significant technology refresh
project, Chuck and Rick have systems in place to
manage all of the little things that often wind up costing
a business owner time and money. They love helping
clients get the most out of their technology instead of
dealing with surprises and downtime.”
HSMC Orizon was created in October 2012 when Lee’s
Summit-based HSMC Certified Public Accountants
merged with Omaha-based Orizon CPAs LLC. Ever
since, the company has been actively involved in
mergers and acquisitions, looking for targets that
can add new expertise or capabilities to assist in the
company’s growth.
