Carrie Sharp with Indoff recently helped me with furnishings and decor at two affordable housing developments for seniors. The properties both look beautiful and Carrie put so much thought and creativity into her work. It was wonderful working with her and seeing how much she cares about creating a nice home for the residents that will live in those communities. Thank you, Carrie!!!!

Helping Area Non Profits from Home During the COVID-19 Crisis

Our April Virtual Luncheon featured SHARE Charlotte Marketing Director, Melissa Hovey, teaching our members how to #ShareFromHome. Just in time for Do Good Week April 19-25, 40 participants gathered via Zoom on April 21 to learn the many ways we can help area nonprofits from direct donations and purchase of Amazon Wish List Items to virtual volunteering activities.

Since we’re all accustomed to paying a $40 luncheon fee, we asked members to donate that same amount to a local nonprofit. 21 members (that we know of because they reported back) responded to the challenge with donations to 19 different nonprofits totaling $840!  Here’s where those do good dollars went:

  1. Katharine Arno, DAR Service to America
  2. Alexis Baker, Baby Bundles
  3. Colleen Brannan, JDRF
  4. Becky Cheney, Salvation Army
  5. Patty Drummond, Safe Alliance
  6. Robin Haddock, Humane Society
  7. Camille Kanofsky, Common Wealth Charlotte
  8. Spencer Lueders, Safe Alliance
  9. Marie McLucas, American Cancer Society
  10. Cristy Nine, Red Cross
  11. Anna O’Neal, Pat’s Place
  12. Kristen Pleasants, GOTR
  13. Ann-Fleming Powell, Loaves and Fishes
  14. Nikki Ratchford, Florence Crittenton Services
  15. Angela Saladino, Foster Village, Charlotte Black Dogs, Humane Society and Harvest Center
  16. Misty Shaffer, Safe Alliance
  17. Kelly Steele, Safe Alliance
  18. Natalie Stevens, Humane Society
  19. Irene Suchoza, Bright Blessings
  20. Robin Turner, Ronald McDonald House

Evolution of Economic Development in the Charlotte Region

Submitted by Colleen Brannan, BRANSTORM PR

The sold out March CREW Luncheon addressed the evolution of economic development in the Charlotte Region. Charlotte Business Journal Real Estate Editor, Ashley Fahey moderated a discussion between Tracy Dodson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Economic Development for the City of Charlotte and Janet LaBar, CEO of the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance.

The trio covered a lot of ground in 30 minutes including what has changed since the mergers of The Charlotte Chamber and Charlotte Regional Partnership, the City’s role in project management and how collaboration between the two organizations is delivering big results—proving ED is truly a team sport. They wrapped up by highlighting a recent trip to Paris that started with a Hornets game abroad and became a highly successful business recruitment opportunity. Evidently selling Charlotte is easier with Michael Jordan in the mix!

FORTUNE has named Kimley-Horn to the top 100 Best Companies to Work For for the 13th time!

One of just 12 companies on the list that pay for 100% of employee health care costs, this engineering and design consultancy leverages a tradition of rewarding new hires as much as 20-year veterans with profit sharing and new opportunities. Some examples include generous year-end bonuses (in 2018, 89% of staff received a minimum bonus of one month’s pay), an in-house MBA-like training program and Red Envelope Day (surprise bonuses or gift cards all around), and Teamwork Awards (on-the-spot $50 rewards for hard work). “There is a strong emphasis on making this your workplace for the remainder of your career,” says one employee.
