Margie Roop, past president of the Barberton, OH Rotary Club, went to Africa after being invited by a new club member, Larry Lallo. Under Larry's guidance with the organization MEDIC, they created a $50,000 project to establish 8 microfinance "Trust Banks" in villages in Togo, West Africa. This provided loans to over 360 small businesses, empowering over 1,000 people.

The project aligned with UN Millennium Development Goals and helped reduce poverty and child mortality.
The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen communities and transform lives. It focuses on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

As staff, everyone has a role to play as ambassadors who can engage members through sharing stories of the YMCA's impact and asking for donations, in order to increase the currently low donation rates of only 1-2% of members. Successful asks involve believing in the cause, having a personal connection, listening to the donor, and making clear how their gift will help others.

We want to change the story & We want you to help.
The statistics are scary:
1 in 7 young Australians experience mental health condition
Suicide in young Australians is the highest it has been in 10 years
Suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians and accounts for the deaths of more young people than car accidents
For husband and wife team (and Homestead for Youth founders), Carla and Marty Fadelli, these statistics are unacceptable. They became frustrated with these statistics and especially from experiencing, at first hand, the gaps in the systems for young people, placed in the bracket of “able to help themselves” yet clearly not able to do so.
So, they decided to do something and change the story associated with these statistics. In 2009, recently married, Carla and Marty started looking after teenagers and young people by providing emergency, residential and long term living arrangements.
By providing young people with a safe refuge and a home, Carla, a registered psychologist saw how more relaxed and open they were with her therapy. This started their innovative approach (link to Our approach) to youth mental health, and in 2014, established Homestead for Youth at their parents’ 5 acre property in the Swan Valley.
The H4Y story today…
In 2016, the suicide epidemic in the Peel region of Western Australia drove Homestead for Youth to move their now farm home base to Meelon.
At this 148 acres farm home, we are changing the story, day by day, one young person at a time.

Ericsson ConsumerLab: Family CommunicationEricsson
The Ericsson ConsumerLab report Family Communication, based on studies carried out in the US, shows that all families differ from one another – from the way they communicate to how they create rules and spend time together.
The report compares the behavior of families with high usage of communication services with that of families with low usage. Those two groups of families are equally sized, and both demonstrate extreme behavior. And usage varies greatly – not only between the parents, but even between the children in the two types of families.
Eighty percent of families using a lot of communication services believe that as a result, they are happier, have more communication with each other and better knowledge about each other. But for these families, there are also more concerns that appear.

Rotary should embrace diversity to grow membership. While women membership has grown, men membership has declined. Embracing diversity means including more women in leadership roles. When organizations do this, they achieve better outcomes and improved business performance. Rotary specifically should work to counter unconscious biases that prevent women from joining and advancing. Doing so would make Rotary more representative of communities and allow it to tackle multifaceted social issues. Events like International Women's Day help introduce more women to Rotary and its mission.

The Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that states cannot ban same-sex marriage and must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. This extends marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. As a result, employers will need to review and potentially update policies relating to health insurance, retirement benefits, and other benefits to comply with this ruling recognizing same-sex marriages.

Jaime Nolan, CEO & Founder,
IntrinXec Management Inc.
Work to live, not live to work. This is the
philosophy which Jaime Nolan, CEO and
Founder of IntrinXec Management, has
instilled in her company culture. IntrinXec
is an association management company
(AMC) and provides managed services,
strategic guidance, board governance,
leadership training and organization culture to
associations and nonprofits.
As a widely recognized industry leader and
“Top 100 Best Companies to Work For,” we
were eager to sit down with Jaime to learn
more about her background and her business
philosophy.
What does the name IntrinXec mean?
Something genuine and true with focus on
executive leadership.
What is important to you as the leader in the
company? After I lost my daughter Grace to
preeclampsia, the importance of making time
for life became a
realization. I wanted
to run a business
where I could
encourage balance
to “work hard and
play hard.”
Our company
culture emphasizes
the importance of
staying relevant to
our clients through
continued education and learning activities,
while engaging and celebrating each other.
It is equally important for our employees
to spend time doing the things they enjoy

beneficial. It’s all about networks

Steve Gerard, accepting the Glass Slipper
honoring his leadership and support of
CBIZ Women’s Advantage
How do you say thank you to someone who shared his vision with you ten years
ago of building a women’s program by simply saying “It is the right thing to do,” and
then saying ... “GO!”?
How do you thank a Leader who listens to you over those ten years and reminds
you that he is there for you ... not to do the job himself, but to remove roadblocks
so that YOU can do the job?
Finally, how do you show your appreciation to a Champion on behalf of thousands
of CBIZ women and thousands more women in our communities that we have
supported through our community outreach efforts, for always supporting,
promoting and celebrating CBIZ Women’s Advantage’s many programs and
successes?
I hope I have just accomplished this!
CBIZ Women’s Advantage has so much more to accomplish in 2016 and beyond to
continue to achieve its goals of the recruitment, development, advancement and
retention of talent and we will continue to build on and succeed at these goals with
the continued support of so many Leaders within CBIZ.
But to you, Steve Gerard, our retiring Chief Executive Office of CBIZ, we simply say,
THANK YOU!

Jodi Robinson, Managing Director & Tax
Practice Leader, CBIZ MHM Kansas City
Describing Jodi Robinson, Managing
Director and local Tax Practice Leader, CBIZ
MHM Kansas City, in one word is easy;
passionate. Whether it be her passion for
personal, professional and organizational
growth, her commitment to giving back
to the community or her deep love for
animals, it is clear her passion has been a
key to her success.
Joining the organization in 1994 as an
associate, Jodi quickly became active in
the recruitment process and eventually
worked very closely with former CBIZ
MHM Director Jason Yetter, to lay the
groundwork for the associate and staff
development programs. As Jodi moved
through the ranks, she found the support
and encouragement from her mentor,
Scott Slabotsky, Managing Director, CBIZ
MHM Kansas City, fundamental to her
advancement. “Having an advisor and
sounding board in Scott as I progressed
through my career was pivotal,”
commented Jodi. “He recognized my
leadership potential and encouraged me to
identify my path to success based on my
strengths. Similarly, I continue to find value
in the support I receive from our Senior
Managing Director, Jeff Carlstedt.”
A 2013 graduate of the Centurions
Leadership program of the Greater
Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, Jodi
has found a peer group outside of the
organization to push her in new ways.
“Through Centurions, I had the opportunity
to meet some really cool people from a
variety of backgrounds. We challenge each
other to be better and to continue to grow.
This group also opened my eyes to the
importance of giving back to my
community, both with time and dollars,”
commented Jodi.
As a leader, Jodi continues to focus
on the development of CBIZ’s young
professionals. “The younger generation is
our future and it’s imperative that we, as
leaders, recognize those professionals with
leadership potential and challenge them to
find, or create, their own path to success.
Our career is technically challenging
and time demanding, it’s important that
generations to come understand that there
are many paths to success.”
Outside of the office you will often find
Jodi at Wayside Waifs, where she has
been involved in a variety of capacities
for more than eight years, including
as a Board Member and member of
the Finance Committee. Jodi’s love for
animals makes Wayside Waifs an ideal
outlet for her passion to give back to the
community, and this love was the gateway
to her involvement as a Board Member
at Ronald McDonald House (RMH). “I got
involved with RMH when a peer brought
a vacant Board position to my attention.
What sealed the deal was when I found
out Wayside Waifs had donated the RMH
house dog,” joked Jodi.
When she is not giving back to the canine
community, she is spending time with her
own furry family – Buddy, Cooper (pictured
above) and Barkley.
Welcome to the CWA Executive Board Jodi!

The goal was to gather the women from all
four of the offices to reconnect and provide
an update/overview of the CBIZ Women’s

The event began with “People Bingo,”
giving everyone a chance to network.

“Vitality is the power to live or grow;
the capacity for survival or for the
continuation of a meaningful or purposeful
existence. It’s a state of mind, a state of
being. Everyone chooses how they live.
Are you surrounded by chaos and excuses
or do you seize the moment and take
advantage of everything life has to offer?”
– Shawnee Mission Health, Living In Vitality
Conference
On October 2, 2015 CBIZ, CBIZ MHM
and CWA, together with other Kansas
City community partners, were pleased to
support Shawnee Mission Health as they
introduced LIV: Living in Vitality, an uplifting
educational conference with the goal to
empower local women to live healthier
lives physically, mentally and spiritually.
Together with CBIZ colleagues Polly
Thomas, Ann Swarts and Stacy Speltz
(pictured below, R-L), I jumped on the
opportunity to support this mission by
leading one of the educational breakout
sessions in the form of a panel discussion.
The topic, “The Five Essential Elements of
Wellbeing” was fitting for the day.
While traditional “wellness” focuses
solely on our physical health or absence
of disease, “wellbeing” takes a holistic
view, supporting the idea that living our
best, most vibrant life, involves more than
just our physical health; it’s our financial
security, finding meaning in our daily
lives and encompasses our social and
community connectedness.
While we are unique individuals with
varying ideas of what wellbeing means
to us, our panel discussion focused
specifically on the findings articulated in
Tom Rath’s and Jim Harter’s New York
Times bestselling book Wellbeing: The Five
Essential Elements. The book is based
on a global study by Gallup consisting
of over two million interviews on what
differentiates people who are thriving from
those who are not.
In their research they found regardless of
one’s physical location, those people who
were “thriving,” living in vitality, had five
universal elements in common: Career
Wellbeing or Purpose, Social Wellbeing,
Financial Wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing and
Community Wellbeing.
Our panel focused on these elements and
discussed how each of us can make a
conscious effort to improve in those areas
of our lives needing some extra care.
It’s important and exciting to remember,
these critical elements to living in vitality
are within our control and we have the
ability to create a thriving wellbeing in our
own lives.

5. Tips to Evaluate Your Firm’s IT
and Cybersecurity Management
by Brenda Piazza, Director of Management and IT Security, FS San Diego
Security breaches are increasingly being
reported in the news, with these events
causing damage to a company’s reputation,
incurring significant costs and creating
tremendous potential legal consequences.
This leads business owners, executives
and key personnel to ask how they
should be evaluating their security and
cybersecurity management to better protect
themselves against those risks.
Two primary considerations are: (1)
whether management has defined its IT
security requirements through policies, and
then communicated those policies to all
employees; and (2) whether management
regularly monitors and receives IT security
reports, or if management (other than IT) is
only made aware of catastrophic failures
when they occur.
How Do Your IT Practices Stand Up?
1. Are there written IT policies in place
around security, change management,
hiring and training? How are those policies
communicated to all employees, new
hires and contractors? Are there signed
acknowledgements of those policies?
2. Is there employee and contractor
training on IT security, including their
responsibilities for changing passwords,
securing laptops while off-site and
management’s expectations of securing
removable media?
3. Is a formal IT risk assessment
performed at least annually to understand
where the risks are in IT security?
4. Are there logical access controls
for granting, changing and revoking
permissions to applications, networks,
remote access, wireless access, etc.? Is
there an internal/external penetration test
performed by a third-party firm to identify
possible vulnerabilities in your network and
“back doors” in the vendor code?
5. Do you know when there is a potential IT
security incident or hack into your firewall?
Do you have a written business continuity
or disaster recovery plan in place that is
tested annually?
6. Do you perform daily backups of
production and test data and store the
encrypted backups off-site? Do you perform
restores of data from backup media to
verify the backups can be recovered?
7. Do you have formal change management
procedures in place for the approval,
developer assignment, testing of the
change in a test environment and
movement into production by someone
other than the developer?
8. Is there physical security into the
building such as visitor logs, badge access
cards and limited access into the server
room? Is access restricted to an off-site
hosted data center?
9. Have you read your customer
contracts and renewals to consider their
requirements regarding data classifications,
what constitutes a breach and what your
contractual obligations are for reporting to
them, should a breach occur? Do you know
your legal requirements and timing of those
requirements (by state) should a security
breach occur?
Only through monitoring of IT security
practices can you truly reduce the likelihood
of becoming the next big IT security breach
“headline.”
