letter from the president December 2013

Holiday Greetings! I trust you had a good Thanksgiving. Now, on to Christmas and the New Year!

Even with the explosion of online retailing, the season still demands we be out and about more than usual as other shopping, dining out, decorating, and entertaining take over our normal routines. When you are out this season, the Chamber encourages you to SHOP-EAT-BUY LOCAL!

When you spend your dollars at home, you’re supporting businesses located in the community which provide local jobs and payrolls. Further, some of the sales taxes generated from purchases of goods and services get returned to local governments which can keep property taxes lower by supplementing revenues needed to

provide necessary services. Alamance County has great local businesses providing goods and services, employing friends and neighbors, and trying to grow.

No matter what is on your wish list this year, make sure the gifts close to your heart are bought close to home. Find everything you need, right here in Alamance County.

December 2013/January 2014CHAMBER CONNECTION www.CarolinaCorridor.com Page 05

By Derek SteedWhy do we educate the children

of Alamance County? Consider, if you will, spending hours asking the people of Alamance County similar questions and analyzing the results of those conversations. The results may surprise. Despite the rhetoric and noise in the media about the “how’s” or “what’s” about educat-ing our children, Alamance County is not so divided when it comes to the “why’s.”

From September 2012 until May 2013, a Stakeholders Group of vol-unteers undertook such a task. Sup-ported by The Alamance County Area Chamber of Commerce, The Alamance County Economic De-velopment Foundation and The Al-amance-Burlington School System, this group of stakeholders came from all walks of life and all regions of the county. The result of their work is the Vision for Public Education in Al-amance County. A list of those par-ticipants is included in that report.

How did this group reveal the “why”? It was quite simple – they asked -- person-to-person in open conversation. They asked family and friends, leaders and supporters, parents and children, teachers and students, volunteers and business people. More importantly, they asked and, then . . . . . they listened. This listening resulted in the ability to see common values and to envision bold objectives based on those val-ues.

So, what is this Vision? Put simply, it is a document reflecting the com-mon beliefs about public education in Alamance County and the result

ing aspirations to support those be-liefs. In three pages the stakeholder group states these common beliefs and sets forth significant objectives incorporating those values. This Vi-sion has now been endorsed by the Alamance County Board of Educa-tion, the Alamance County Board of Commissioners, the Chamber of Commerce, local city and town councils and many, many more or-ganizations.

A cornerstone of the Vision doc-ument is a common belief in Ala-mance County that education is the foundation for individual success, economic prosperity, improved quality of life, and even the per-petuation of our democratic soci-ety. Our community expressed itself clearly that public education should prepare good citizens, a talented workforce and strong leaders. As importantly, our community impart-ed that a strong educational system can result in Alamance County be-ing one of the most desired destina-tions for new business and industry and the most desire place to work, live and raise a family. Interestingly enough, the discussions revealed that many of those interviewed tru-ly believe that an excellent public education system benefits the entire community – not just the children.

Built upon that cornerstone is a Vi-sion that Alamance County can and should do more for ourselves and our future. This Vision calls for “a public school system that is national mod-el for its curriculum and community engagement to empower all Ala-mance County students with equal opportunity for civic engagement,

a meaningful quality of life and skills for economic success.” Indeed, en-visioning a best-in-class public edu-cation system driven by broad com-munity support sets a high bar for high community achievement and requires strong community partici-pation to accomplish.

Imagine, just for a moment, that our community and all the organiza-tions within it commit to achieving these high standards. Imagine when mediocrity becomes a four-letter word and a “commitment to un-compromising rigor and excellence” is a base-line expectation. Imagine if we cease measuring our schools’ performance against national or state averages and, instead, begin measuring against the top systems in the nation. Imagine further our com-munity pulling together to create for ourselves and our future an educa-tion system that becomes a national leader.

What is next? While Alamance -Burlington School System is undergo-ing its strategic planning toward the Vision, volunteers are engaged in an effort to introduce this Vision across the entire spectrum of Alamance County citizens. This is a group of volunteers without a name, formal structure or common affiliation, but with a singular purpose of engaging our community. Alamance County citizens have a vested interest in building upon the current success of our schools and our community. The community deserves and will benefit from our friends and neighbors un-derstanding and participating in this Vision. While many can read the Vision (as can be found at

www.alamancechamber.com and www.abss.k12.nc.us), greater bene-fits and community engagement will be achieved from open conversa-tion about the Vision and our public education.

We want your help! First, read the three pages of the Vision docu-ment that set forth the beliefs, vision and expectations. Second, agree to publicly endorse this Vision by contacting the Chamber or Ala-mance Citizens for Education. For those businesses and organizations desiring more for Alamance County and are willing to publicly commit to achieve it – an endorsement of this effort is a great step and takes no money and very little effort. Third, if your business or organization can assist in getting this Vision in front of more Alamance County citizens, please contact the Chamber or Ala-mance Citizens for Education. Our community benefits when this Vision is being thoughtfully discussed in the homes, kitchens, fellowship halls and conference rooms across Alamance County. Finally, ask your groups and organizations this question: “What more can we do tomorrow than we do today to help achieve this Vi-sion?” The answers will surprise and inspire.

It is time for a conversation by the community, for the community, about higher aspirations based on the positive things our community values and believes. We have great minds here in Alamance County and our community will greatly ben-efit from their focus on great ideas.

WE WANT YOU! Our Vision for Public Education

SAMETCORPORATIONSA full-house attended the cham-

ber’s 8th Annual Economic Summit on October 15 at Elon University. Wells Fargo, our presenting spon-sor, was instrumental in securing the speaker, Mark Vitner. A Managing Director & Senior Economist with Wells Fargo, Vitner had interest-ing, but not surprising comments about the economy and where it is headed. One repeated quote for the evening was “Less bad is good. More good is better.” This sums up very succinctly that there has been less bad news recently which is a good thing; but the national down to the local economies need more good news which would be better.

At the time of the meeting, the Federal government was in the middle of a shutdown. Although that hurdle has been passed, Vitner

noted that “in Washington DC, we keep going from crisis to crisis.” This uncertainty and lack of leader-ship by lawmakers is contributing to an already shaky economy and makes it hard for businesses, espe-cially small businesses, to plan for the coming year. But again, there is less bad news, just not enough good news. Local unemployment rates have been declining. Building permits are up. House listings are on the rise with prices increasing and selling in fewer days. These trends are all good, we would just like to see them better.

If you would like to learn more about information presented at the Economic Summit, or data about the local economy, please contact Andrea Fleming at [email protected].

workforce & leadership DEVELOPMENT

What Can You Do in a Week?We would like to extend a big thank you to the Leadership Alamance

Alumni Association for taking on the challenge of organizing the Feed Alamance Food Drive that was held on October 26. Due to their passion and initiative, they were able to collect over 10,500 pounds of food! Thanks to their organizational skills, donations, volunteer hours and the use of their personal and professional networks, the Alumni were able to make a dent in the unprecedented need for food in Alamance County.

The food was dropped off at the Allied Churches collection site, located in the former Shoe Department space at Holly Hill Mall, which will now be open 6 days a week for the donation of non-perishable food items. If you would like to contribute to the cause, it is never too late. The space will continue collecting food items on week days from 10 am – 12 pm and 3 pm – 6pm, as well as 12 pm – 4 pm on Saturday.

Tuesday Tours for Teachers is a partnership between the Alamance County Area Chamber of Com-merce and the Alamance-Burling-ton School System. These tours allow Career and Technical Education Teachers to see Alamance County at work and to hear firsthand the skills needed to fill local positions. This information is helpful as educa-tors guide students as they explore

career options and allows them to enrich curriculum with “real world” examples.

The host gets to “strut their stuff” offering tours of the site, sharing marketing materials, and introduc-ing teachers to key people in their organization. It is a great chance to discuss various jobs and opportuni-ties within the company; the hard and soft skills needed, any special-

ized training that is required, as well as share pertinent industry trends.

You can help shape our future work force by volunteering as a host. These after-school tours take place from 4:00-6:00 p.m. once a month during the school year. For more information please contact Barbara Massey, Vice President of Workforce and Leadership Develop-ment, at 336-228-1338

Tuesday Tours for Teachers

Farm-To-TableIn this day and age, fewer children are raised on farms, and have little

knowledge of the process that takes place to get food from the farm to the table. Therefore, each year the Chamber’s Agri-Business Committee organizes an event for area fourth graders called Farm-to-Table. Students get the opportunity to see farm animals (baby chicks, cows, goats, and bees), fruits, vegetables and other plants, as well as farming equipment up close. Held at The Historic Farm at Cedarock Park, approximately 800 students attended the event this year. It is the Committee’s hope that each student will learn something new about food production and walk away with a better understanding of the importance of agriculture.

I learned about a bunch of things, like how to milk a cow and how people planted seeds back in the old days. It was really fun learning about bees and wood. -Skyler

I enjoyed everything, especially the cows be-cause I have never seen real life cows. I really wish to have a farm. -Alexander

I didn’t know that toilet paper comes from trees. –Jorge
