In this issue:

Successful job attraction programs and a growing economy have led to an increased challenge for local businesses in finding available workers. The aging population, pending baby-boomer retirements, and a slowing birth rate provide ample evidence that our workforce challenges will worsen in the future.

Historically, the population grew but the workforce grew at a faster rate. That is changing. While the population will continue to grow, the workforce will grow at a slower rate or even shrink. Experts agree that by 2010, the United States will have 168 million new jobs but there will be only 158 million workers to fill them.

The “crunch” is already upon Ardmore. While population grew at a very modest 2% over the past nine years, the number of jobs increased 16.8%, according to a study by the Oklahoma State University Center for Applied Research.

The Chamber and the Ardmore Development Authority (ADA) have formed a workforce committee to explore solutions to meet the challenge of finding available and qualified workers. The tasks facing the committee include:

• Clear identification of the make-up of available workers and the existing workforce (The University of Oklahoma is completing this study, commissioned by the ADA).

• Identification of opportunities for growing the workforce through job sharing programs, work at home initiatives, stay-at-home parents returning to work, re-entry of retirees into the workforce for full or part-time positions, recruitment of new workers to the area, etc.

• Identify programs that could encourage new workers (local citizens or newcomers) to enter the workforce. Programs include supplemented 24-hour day care, employer as-sisted housing, available housing at affordable prices, school-to-work programs, benefits programs, etc.

If you have ideas and/or would like to assist in meeting the challenge of growing and improving our workforce, please contact Brien Thorstenberg at the Ardmore Development Authority, [email protected]

The Ardmore Development Authority (ADA) and the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce conducted an Ardmore Area Job Fair last year with 40 employers participating and over 800 job applicants attending. Recently, local employers have requested the ADA repeat this successful event.

Once again, the event will be held at the Ardmore Convention Center where employers can take advan-tage of free booth space and advertising. An employer application may be obtained by contacting Janet Bateman, Marketing Director, Ardmore Development Authority, at 223-6162.

With changing workforce demographics and a strong need in our businesses to actively recruit, retain, and engage a diverse, high-performing workforce, Human Resource professionals need a solid understanding of the business case for valuing diversity in the workplace and how to help lead their organizations toward an inclusive culture where diversity can thrive. While many organizations cannot devote a full-time professional to the diversity arena in their workplace, there are many integrated approaches an HR professional can take to help their organization thrive with the diverse labor force of the 21st century. Before we can help drive an effort to leverage the many differences in the workplace, we have to start with the face in the mirror, addressing our own understanding and possible discomforts.

The Chamber of Commerce is excited to present an opportunity to learn more on this topic. At the Tuesday, September 11th Personnel Roundtable meeting, Alison Anthony, Director of Diversity and Employee Relations at the Williams Company, will be the featured speaker by videoconference . During her presentation, Anthony will share tools to help guide the HR professional through their own awareness of how bias can impact the workplace so they can be more effective in what is often a major culture shift. Anthony will share business case material and Society for Human Resource Management resources, as well as actual exercises and approaches used with leaders in the workplace to begin realizing the value of an inclusive workplace.

Anthony has an extensive portfolio of diversity and human resources experience. After joining Williams Company in 1999, she held roles such as the Manager of Diversity, HR Business Partner, and a Consultant for Performance Management and Leadership Development. Prior to joining Williams, she worked in higher education for Oklahoma State University, and held management positions in the Staffing Industry. Anthony is a graduate of Oklahoma State University with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree.

This event is free to all Chamber member HR personnel and will be held in Room E2 of the Southern Oklahoma Technology Center at 12:00 Noon. A complimentary lunch is provided courtesy of event sponsors Atlas Roofing, Best Buy Distribution Center and EJIW-Ardmore Foundry. Please make a reservation by emailing [email protected] or calling 223-6162.

AYPO “Road Show”: TJ Riley (Chair) and Elizabeth Crowley (Co-Chair) had the pleasure of speaking about AYPO to seventy-five realtors and associates at the Southern Oklahoma Board of Realtors meeting. The attendees were excited about AYPO’s com-mitment to the community and agreed to inform their clients, particularly those new to Ardmore, about the organization and to encourage them to get involved.

Earlier in August, Ryan Hobbs, a member of the organization, invited AYPO to provide the program to the Ardmore Kiwanis Club. Additionally, AYPO participated in a panel discussion for the Annual Conference of the Oklahoma Association of Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council. The organization is also scheduled to present to the leadership team of Mercy Memorial in September. The AYPO Road Show serves an excellent opportunity to promote the organization and it’s commit-ment to the community.

If you are a part of an organization that would like to know more about AYPO, please contact Elizabeth Crowley at 580-223-6162 or [email protected]. Leadership Greater Ardmore: Congratulations to the following AYPO members who were selected to participate in this year’s Leadership Ardmore class: Elizabeth Crowley, Ardmore Development Authority; Natalie Graham, City of Ardmore; Jeremy Ham, Cable One; Ryan Parker, Parker Family Vision; Paula Pfau, Ardmore Village; Amber Pollard, Congressman Tom Cole; Brandon Twyford, Citizens Bank Leadership Oklahoma: Congratulations to Scott Chapman, who was selected to participate in Leadership Oklahoma this year.

C/SARA Foundation hosted the August Business After Hours. Sissy Burge, Director of the Foundation, and her staff welcomed the attendees with “childhood favorite” themed appetizers. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chicken nuggets and s’mores (made with real marshmallows) were among some of the favorites. Burge explained to the group about C/SARA and the crisis training they provide to the area schools. C/SARA Foundation has recently expanded their office to provide other services to the Ardmore area.

With approximately forty people in attendance, Burge said the evening was a great way to educate the community about what C/SARA does.

“There were only about three people who attended Business After Hours that actually knew about the social services that we offer at C/SARA,” explained Burge. “It was a great promotional thing for us to be involved in to help educate our business lead-ers about the cause to which we are so committed.”

Business After Hours is the best “loosen your tie” networking event available to Chamber members. Please mark your calen-dars for September 17, 2007. Hampton Inn will be serving up some of the best hits at their BAH!

WO M E N’S BI Z SY M P O S I U M The Women’s Business Center of Rural Enterprises of Oklahoma, Inc. will hold the annual Women’s Business Symposium at the Ardmore Convention Center on November 1, 2007. Keynote speaker Patsy Acers, otherwise known as "The Bag Lady", will speak on financial planning and the pitfalls of not planning. Acers, whose working wardrobe comes from thrift shop bargain bins, dresses like a “dumpster diva” to make a point. Says Acers, “If you don’t start planning your financial future now, you will become a bag lady.”

It can happen to anyone and it almost happened to her. After her 23 year marriage ended in divorce, Acers suddenly found herself thrust into the arena of the single and unemployed female. She says, “It is terrifying for any woman, or anyone of any age, to be thrust into the world homeless and with no financial future. You realize that money isn’t everything, but it ranks right up there with oxygen.” Acers escaped her brush with financial disaster by establishing herself as a financial consultant and adopted her bag lady philosophy to liven up a more conventional pitch to financial planning.

During the symposium, Acers will discuss the practical advantages of financial planning in a humorous, educational and entertaining style. Attendees will also meet “Later Linda”, “Devoted Dora”, “Sally Spend It” and “Alma All-Together”, and learn how their attitudes toward financial matters affected their ability to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

Other session topics will include Wellness & Health, Marketing, Identity Theft, and Credit. Additionally, Dr. Baker Fore is doing a presentation on a book he wrote called "Life Sucks so Get Rich".

July was a busy month for events in Ardmore! The Great American Race, the Oklahoma Society of Association Executives, and the World Horseshoe Pitching Competition were the result of the efforts of the Ardmore Tourism Authority. Recruitment of such events doesn’t just happen, they are the result of teamwork, collaboration, time, talent, knowledge and energy. It takes many partners behind the scenes to bring an event to fruition. The first step is to identify the opportunities, and then community representatives provide information, gifts, hotel and merchant discounts to entice potential customers.

The recent Horseshoe Pitching Tournament participants supported the community as they shopped with local businesses. As a result, some merchants who were initially reluctant to assist in promoting the event jumped in and began promoting with discount coupons at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum. In the future, the Ardmore Tourism Authority will begin work on a sophisticated and coordinated approach with local mer-chants for the attraction of meetings, conventions and other events.

After twelve days of competition held at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum, the World Horseshoe Pitching Tournament ended on Saturday, August 3rd with Alan Francis from Ohio taking home first place. During the first week of competition, an estimated 1000 participants and spectators attended the event each day; during the second week, it is estimated that 750 spectators supported the event daily.

“Tim Lynch and the staff at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum did an excellent job with the facility during the event,” said Mita Bates, Vice President of the Ardmore Tourism Authority. “With the onset of the 100 degree weather, attendees were thrilled to be in an air conditioned venue. The Board and staff of the NHPA (National Horseshoe Pitching Association) were pleased with the facility, hospitality, and publicity and rated their experience in Ardmore as the best in recent years.”

On August 15, the Ardmore Development Authority’s newly up-dated website, www.ardmoredevelopment.com, went live. The site that is committed to providing information regarding economic development now matches the look and feel of the Chamber’s website, www.ardmore.org. It has also undergone an extensive information update.

One new user-friendly tool is the Cost of Living Calculator where people considering moving to Ardmore can determine how their current cost of living compares to Ardmore’s cost of living. This information is based on the American Chamber of Commerce Re-search Association’s (ACCRA) nationwide detailed cost of living comparisons. Fortunately, Ardmore fares very positively in com-parison to most U.S. cities.

Additionally, the site provides extensive information on community demographics, workforce, utilities, transportation, industrial parks, available buildings and much more. Although it is geared specifi-cally for businesses considering relocating or expanding in Ard-more, many locals may find valuable information on the site as well.

Be sure to visit www.ardmoredevelopment.com in the next few weeks and learn more about what your city has to offer!

The Hickory Ridge housing addition, which lies along the east side of Kings Road approximately 3000 feet north of West Broadway (US 70), is set to increase the amount of affordable housing in the Ardmore area. As a public-private partnership, the City of Ardmore and the Ardmore Develop-ment Authority (ADA) are developing the infrastructure for the addition. With an average lot price of $10,000, builders have agreed to build homes at a price of seventy-five dollars per square foot.

All newly constructed homes will be a minimum of three bedrooms, one and three-quarter bathrooms, seventy-five percent brick, and a minimum of 1200 square feet. Homes will be priced from $90,000 to $120,000.

The expansion of the sewer, site works, and work on the roadways began in January 2007, con-struction of the infrastructure is approximately sixty percent complete on the new housing addition. Although recent rains delayed construction approximately three months, homes are expected to begin being built in late September 2007 with the first homes complete in spring 2008.

The Housing Development Committee of the Ardmore Chamber of Commerce and Ardmore Develop-ment Authority (ADA) selected three builders for participation in the first phase, which includes thirty-one lots, of the Hickory Ridge housing addition. The builders, all of whom are from the Ardmore area, are OPM, Inc., Reunion Homes, a subsidiary of Joel Wisian Construction, Inc., and Homes by Charles and Ragenia.

“The Hickory Ridge addition will significantly increase the amount of affordable housing in Ardmore,” states Brien Thorstenberg, ADA Vice-President. “The heavy rain fall we have received this year has slowed down the construction, but home construction should start soon. The new homes should be completed within six to nine months from their start date. I encourage people interested in purchasing a home in this addition to contact the builders for information on their building plans.”

Economic indicators for June 2007 show an increase for the Ardmore business environment. According to figures released by the Oklahoma Tax Commission, retail sales for the month show a 6.8% increase compared to sales in June 2006. Year-to-date retail sales represent a 3.5% increase from 2006.

In residential real estate, The Southern Oklahoma Board of Realtors report a 2.6% increase in the number of home sales for June 2007 (thirty-nine home sales) compared to June 2006 (thirty-eight home sales). The City of Ardmore reports a decrease in the number of building permits issued through June from 362 in 2006 to 249 in 2007. The value of building permits increased from $12.2 million year-to-date in 2006 to $31.6 million year-to-date in 2007. This represents a 159% increase in the value of building permits.

The Southern Oklahoma Business and Industry Council (SOBIC) Luncheon will meet at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 in the Seminar Center at the Southern Oklahoma Technology Center. Gerri Mooney, Counselor of the Oklahoma Work-ers' Compensation Court, will be the featured presenter at the luncheon. As a Counselor of the Court, Mooney works with businesses and industries throughout the state by offering ideas and suggestions to reduce their claim and insurance costs. She also assists insurance companies, third party administrators and medical providers by keeping them up-to-date on changes in Oklahoma's workers' compensation laws and rules. At the September SOBIC meeting Mooney will provide a summary of Senate Bill 1X, which completely changed Oklahoma's definitions on compensability, added new cost reduction measures for medical treatment, and altered many of the former rules and laws. The purpose of SOBIC is to provide business and industry professionals the opportunity to network while exploring topics of interest crucial to business success. SOBIC is co-hosted by Ardmore Development Authority, Ardmore Chamber of Commerce, Southern Oklahoma Technology Center, and the Oklahoma Alliance for Manufacturing Excellence. Through the generous support of our sponsors, the luncheon is free to all attendees.
