Ever speak to a group and wonder, Are they paying any attention at all? It’s probably happened to all of us. We’ve been asked to make a presentation. We prepare and plan – only to be met with blank looks and bored faces. A trap that many speakers fall into is thinking about the presentation from just their perspective. What do I need to say, teach, or explain? What do I want the group to think or feel or do after they hear me? While these are all important questions to answer, the other crucial question to answer is: WIIFT? (What’s In It For Them?) When you’re trying to persuade, inspire, or educate a group, put yourself in their Homer Nine and Sons, a customer focused heating and air conditioning company, celebrates more than 73 years in business in 2016.

One such challenge is continuing to raise the prosperity of all Beaver County residents while improving the quality of life that Beaver Countians desire. Nearly one in eight of us live below the household income poverty line. Decades of declining wages and the loss of middleclass jobs, as well as population migration, present us with significant issues. These issues require everyone to get engaged and try to make a difference. Part of my excitement in accepting the role of President of the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce is due to the diversity and expertise of its members and our collective ability to tackle and solve tough problems. One way to start tapping this expertise is to make sure that everyone is aligned and moving in-sync toward the goal of improving the region economically. And the idea of having sustainable middleclass jobs with a healthy quality of life is not a fantasy. Nothing improves your outlook on life more than having a job that provides you income to raise your family, dignity and self-worth as a human being, and allows you to contribute something back to your w w w . b c c h a m b e r . c o m community. It’s what we all covet, working in a socially responsible business with the ability to contribute something back to our community. If fact, many of us believe we have a moral obligation to do so. The Chamber’s stated goal is “to position Beaver County and its communities as premiere places to live and work”. We strongly believe that improving the local economy is an important element of making that happen. That is why we are proud to be one of the founding members of the “376 Economic Partnership,” along with the Beaver County Board of Commissioners, the Beaver County Corporation for Economic Development and the Beaver County Redevelopment Authority. To be sure, the selection of Beaver County for a potential multi-billion dollar investment by a global company has put us on the map internationally. But the 376 Partnership is about much more than exploiting the opportunity to redevelop some brownfield sites along I-376. It’s about smart planning that allows our people and natural resources to reach their full potential. It’s summed up in our tagline of “Business. Community. People.” It’s about our goal of bringing prosperity to all three of these while improving our quality of life. And the Chamber couldn’t be more excited about the future of Beaver County.
