1 BBN Brevard Business News Vol. 32 No. 6 February 10, 2014 $1.00 A Weekly Space Coast Business Magazine printed in Brevard County, Fla. since 1984 Longtime area resident Weinberg is elected to the Fidelity Bank board By Ken Datzman MERRITT ISLAND Independent banks, often seen as financial first responders for local small businesses, pride themselves on their community roots. Their staffs, their leadership teams, and their boards of directors typically reflect this hometown makeup. And longstanding Fidelity Bank of Florida is a shining example of a deep rooted community institution. Thomas Tom Weinberg, the newest elected member of the board of directors of the Merritt Island based bank, has family roots in Brevard that go back to the 1870s. Weinberg s great grandfather was one of 39 people who incorporated the city of Cocoa. History shows that his grandfather, Morris Weinberg, was a city council member for eight years and served as mayor for two of those years, in the 1920s. Tom Weinberg was born on Merritt Island and attended public schools in the county. Businessman Janson Davis, chairman of the board of directors of Fidelity Bank of Florida and founder of Brevard Accounting Group/ CPA, recently announced Weinberg s election to the board. In addition to a number of civic responsibilities, Weinberg, a fourth generation Brevard Countian, currently serves as chairman of the Canaveral Port Authority and is the elected District 5 Port Commissioner. J. Lamar Roberts, Fidelity Bank s upbeat president and chief executive officer, said Weinberg s board affiliation will play a role in helping the institution grow in Brevard County. As the banking industry continues to recover from the conditions of the past six years, we realize the need to have main street banking as our primary focus, said Roberts. Toward this end, we will increase our presence throughout Brevard County and the addition of Tom Weinberg to our board is a big step in that direction. Weinberg is a career public servant. He received his associate of arts degree in 1969 from Brevard Community College (now Eastern Florida State College) and is a 1971 graduate of Florida State University. Working his way up the hierarchy, he held senior management positions in state and local government throughout his career. The positions included serving as deputy Orange County administrator for seven years, until Some 2,000 staff members reported to him. Then he joined the staff of U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez. Weinberg held the posts of state director, deputy chief of staff, and chief of staff Please see Fidelity Bank of Florida, page 19 BBN photo Adrienne B. Roth Merritt Island based Fidelity Bank of Florida will mark its 25th year of business in 2015, making it the oldest community bank headquartered in Brevard County.

3 Distinguished Catholic School Educator Awards presented by Bishop Noonan at event in Orlando ORLANDO Twelve educators were recently honored as the best in the Central Florida Catholic educational system. Veteran and new teachers, as well as administrators were all celebrated for their demonstration of excellence in instruction, use of technology, leadership and modeling the Catholic faith. Bishop John Noonan of the Diocese of Orlando compared the Catholic school teachers to the greatest artists, saying they were molding and forming students into the world s future leaders with all the attention, care and love Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. The Bishop John Noonan Administrator of the Year Award went to Dr. Kathleen Kiley, principal of St. Andrew Catholic School on North Hastings Street in Orlando. I was quite surprised and honored because I was in such great company, said Kiley, a first time finalist. I think I have been blessed with great teachers, administrators and a wonderful pastor with great vision and leadership. Principal Geraldine Gendall, of St. James Cathedral School in downtown Orlando, and Principal Kathleen Walsh, of St. Margaret Mary in Winter Park, were the other finalists for the administrator award. The Distinguished High School Teacher Award was presented to longtime Bishop Moore High School art teacher Vince Balaguer. His fellow finalists were Mary Byrnes and Leyzia Maisonave, teachers at Melbourne Central Catholic High School and Santa Fe Catholic High School, respectively. Barbara Havens of Sacred Heart Catholic School in New Smyrna Beach took home the Elementary Teacher of the Year Award. She was recognized along with Holy Name of Jesus teacher Beth Hamby and Carol Polkowski of St. Joseph Catholic School in Winter Haven, both finalists. The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Teacher Award was a new category honoring teachers relatively new to the profession of teaching with the award being given to Jennifer Jones, a teacher at Church of the Resurrection Catholic School. Amanda Sarasua, from Father Lopez Catholic High, and Jena Love, the second of two teacher finalists from St. Joseph Catholic School in Winter Haven, were also nominated for the new award. It s a great honor, said Jones. It s not something that I ever would have expected. Being a teacher is so much more. I thought it was going to be just about helping the kids grow their faith, but it s really helped me grow and become a stronger Catholic. I wouldn t choose to work any place else, said Kiley. To be able to share your faith with young children and watch them grow from 4 year olds to 14 year olds, in my case, is a beautiful thing. Henry Fortier, Secretary for Education and Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Orlando, said the awards were a very small token of appreciation for the service and commitment teachers have in playing a very large role in transforming society. We have the best (teachers). Not just because I m here, not because I have to say that. I have worked in other school systems and I can honestly say that I have the best teachers here in the Diocese of Orlando.

4 America needs to fast reclaim its world status as the land of opportunity By Erin O Flaherty UCF Forum columnist If America really is the land of opportunity, then it is only fair that everyone truly should have equality while on life s endeavors. Sadly, however, when I reflect on the evolution of our great country, I don t believe we are the land of promise we once were. With the world so full of discrimination, the term land of opportunity often gives people false hope. The American Dream is not as accessible as it is made out to be, with true opportunities for many being far and few between. In today s world, many people discriminate against anything that seems to differ from them. Many have naturally selfish dispositions and are unwilling to listen to opposing beliefs or opinions. As a result, biases, discrimination and a halt of progressive cultural evolution occur. It seems as though people discriminate against anything to help their view or side.

Nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, political views and social status seem to be among the most prevalent forms of discrimination. While nearly everyone is affected by discrimination at some point in life, not enough of the population is willing to accept diversity as a necessary proponent in the beneficial evolution of our culture. Many people are stuck in the past. America is set up to be a melting pot of diversity, where everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the American standard. From the outside, this melting pot of diversity seems to bring our country together, upholding the stand part of our motto: United we stand, divided we fall. If those on the outside can accept this diversity, why is it so hard for us to do so? The land of opportunity is far from what it seems. While I whole heartedly attest to the fact that this country offers more freedoms than most, equal opportunities are not showered upon every member of society. The word opportunity can mean something different to everyone. It could mean money and jobs, class mobility, or even freedom, the basis on which this country was born. As far as job opportunities, discrimination plays a huge role in actively diminishing opportunities that should be available to everyone. The gender wage gap continues to be wide, and while we have nondiscrimination and equal employment opportunity laws in an attempt to abolish discrimination within the workplace, many of those are ignored. Many employers and hiring managers continue to turn away more qualified people and hire less qualified people with similar views of the manager. When people are close minded like this, it inhibits the growth of our wonderful country. People become angry, and at a certain point, everyone s opportunities are lessened by ignorance. We are so fortunate to have class mobility, a freedom that few countries have. We have the lower, middle, and upper classes as well shades in between. Through class mobility, it is possible for anyone to move between the classes as a reflection of their success, whatever that may be, and monetary value. The principle of this system affords many the hope of changing their lives if they are not happy with their social status. If someone is born poor it does not mean they have to be poor for the rest of their life. Moreover, if someone is born rich, they generally are expected to work (in most cases) to keep their money and status. But even though we hear of success stories within class mobility, opportunities are surely not equal as promised. It usually takes years of higher education to be offered what would be considered a lucrative job. When people who are born poor cannot afford this education or don t have access to helpful resources, they are almost automatically ruled out of moving up in terms of class mobility. This shows that opportunities are not equal, as the land of opportunity hints. The opportunities in America are abundant, but the fine print of these opportunities is that they are not easy to come by without connections or a stable network, which can take decades to build. Americans, of course, have freedom to find these opportunities, but even the freedom is hindered by discrimination and holes in the system. I love my country and I love that our mission has been to be a land of opportunity for all. But our growing population, political movements and unfair biases have offset that goal. I hope we all can open ourselves up to more diversity and acceptance, and return from our current status as the land of unequal and biased opportunity, mostly for those with connections back to the land of opportunity that we are known for around the world.

The Princeton Review names UCF as one of the nation s Best Values in survey The University of Central Florida is again one of the nation s best value universities, according to The Princeton Review s annual analysis of 2,000 institutions around the nation.

10 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida looks to rally business community around 20th annual Men Cooking from Heart event; seeks chefs, sponsors By Ken Datzman Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida is in a recruiting mode in the local community. It is seeking volunteer celebrity chefs for the organization s annual fund raising event, Men Cooking from the Heart. Money raised from the charitable program impacts a sizable number of children in Brevard County each year, lifting them to new levels of measurable performance in their lives. Big Brothers Big Sisters will be hosting its 20th Men Cooking from the Heart community gathering from 6 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, at the Melbourne Auditorium. Individuals and businesses have partnered over the years to put on one of the biggest food tasting celebrations in the region. This event has a long history in the community, said Jay Rudy, a staff analyst with the Brevard County Health Department, who is a member of the Men Cooking from the Heart Committee and a longtime participating volunteer celebrity chef. We are rebuilding the event and reaching out to the business community for their support. We re hoping to attract 100 chefs, men who enjoy cooking whether it s their forte or they have a couple of dishes that are unique. If you used to participate as a chef in this event and haven t in recent years, we would love to have you back. We re recruiting new chefs as well and chefs who cook for a living. I like to tout Men Cooking from the Heart as the best male bonding event in Brevard County, he added. Years ago, Men Cooking from the Heart drew as many as 500 people and showcased an in depth roster of chefs. The first one I was involved in we had 130 chefs at the Melbourne Auditorium. Both wings of the auditorium were filled with chefs. But when layoffs hit the space center, the military cut back, and businesses in the region downsized, the event numbers dropped. A lot of the chefs who took part in the event were from NASA s space shuttle program, said Rudy, a U.S. Air Force veteran. Also impacting attendance was scheduling. Men Cooking from the Heart was held during Daytona 500 race weekend, in late February, and has since moved to March. To rekindle some of the spirit, the Men Cooking from the Heart Committee has reached out to Mary Grace Murphy and Paula Stratton.

11 Raymond James veteran investment strategist Saut sees upside market in 2014, with U.S. equities leading the way; marks his 43rd year in a never dull industry By Ken Datzman Investors who stepped up and put money into equities last year were rewarded for the risk they took in the financial markets, which closed out 2013 with strong advances across the best known indexes. Stocks, while they have cooled off of late with a flurry of selling and profit taking by investors, which was anticipated early this year, are still one of the few places where people can actually realize a decent return on their money in the current environment. And as 2014 begins to unfold, this may be another uplifting year for stock market investors, barring any significant policy downside in the nation s capital or a black swan, like a nuclear incident in the Korean peninsula. The globe trotting Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist for St. Petersburg based Raymond James & Associates, says he can t see anything on the horizon, other than the two aforementioned scenarios, that could derail the market in The market history since the 1970s for each year that was up more than 20 percent, shows the year after it on average was up about 14.5 percent, he said. I don t think we are going to be up that much this year, but I do believe we are going to be up somewhere, on a total return basis, between 10 and 13 percent. For investors, the place to be in 2014 is in U.S. equities, said Saut, who is marking his 43rd year in the industry. One of the sectors he favors is health care. Saut said he likes that sector considering the current slow growth environment. The broad health care segment includes insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical device businesses, and biotechnology firms. At this stage of the business cycle, GDP (gross domestic product) should be growing faster than it is, said Saut. I m thinking GDP is going to accelerate to 3 percent this year and probably to 4 percent in But that is slower growth than the typical recovery following a recession. So in a slow growth environment, investors are going to pay up for true growth. And growth stocks tend to be clustered in health care and technology. I like the health care complex a lot. Raymond James research team has a strong buy on United Health. Saut also sees inflation on the rise. I think inflation is higher than the official government figure states. The government doesn t include food and energy in the compiling. And they don t include college tuition and a lot of other things consumers pay for, such as insurance. When you tally all these things, inflation is really somewhere around 4 percent in the real world. Saut recently addressed Raymond James clients at the Melbourne Hilton Rialto, where he gave his market outlook for He also met with the local Raymond James financial advisors. The Melbourne and Viera offices of Raymond James & Associates are managed by Brent Peoples. Saut writes an insightful investment strategy column at RaymondJames.com. His audio comment is recorded every weekday, except Wednesday, at 9 a.m. and is made available to the public at RaymondJames.com at 1 p.m. Saut is well known for his colorful commentary regarding the stock market and makes regular appearances on CNBC, Fox TV, and other business programs. He is widely quoted in leading newspapers, financial magazines, and business publications. BBN photo Adrienne B. Roth Jeffrey Saut, right, chief investment strategist for Raymond James & Associates, recently addressed clients at the Hilton Melbourne Rialto. Brent Peoples manages the local offices of Raymond James & Associates. Saut provided insight and gave his view of what may transpire this year regarding the stock market. He makes regular appearances on CNBC and other business programs and is widely quoted in leading newspapers and business publications. In January, Saut marked his 43rd year in the industry. He said he grew up around the world of investing. My father was a portfolio manager. Saut got his start in the business in January 1971 working for a firm in New York City. I earned $100 a week and was glad to have the job. He joined Raymond James in September 1999 as a managing director of investment strategy. Previously, Saut was managing director of research at Roney & Co. in Detroit, which was acquired by Raymond James & Associates in Roney & Co. had financial advisors in a number of Midwestern states. After Raymond James purchased Roney & Co., Saut said he commuted for five years because I didn t think I wanted to live in Florida. Saut s commute to the Tampa St. Petersburg area changed his mind. It is, forgive me, arguably the most livable part of Florida. It s paradise. That s why I moved there. Saut travels both nationally and internationally for Raymond James and says his calendar is full all the way through He travels extensively in Europe, where he has a big following, as well as in Canada, Latin America, and Asia. He maintains a whirlwind schedule. An example is his recent swing through South Florida, which later in the week brought him to Melbourne.

13 Small Business Development Center at UCF shows company how to compete for government contracts ORLANDO The Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida has reached out to show Dredging & Marine Consultants (DMC) LLC the steps to take to compete for government contracts. The Volusia County based minority owned, licensed engineering firm is led by president, founder and managing member Shailesh Patel. DMC is a multidisciplinary team of engineers focused on dredging and marine related infrastructure and environmental projects. The firm provides services for all project phases including design, permitting and construction. DMC specializes in dredging away muck (fine grained, organic bearing sediment) from waterways, lakes, creeks and other water bodies. Under Patel s leadership, DMC has carved a niche business by taking on challenging muck removal projects to help ensure the best water quality for lakes and estuaries in Central Florida. In its place, muck can be a beautiful thing, said Patel. Because it is high in nutrients, it can be used to as a resource for enhancing soils. DMC also designs waterfront facilities and structures such as marinas, docks, boat ramps, fishing piers, pavilions, boardwalks, seawalls, retaining walls, and rock revetments and provides stabilization to shorelines and canal banks. Additionally, the DMC team provides various environmental services such as plant and animal population assessments, ecological community surveys, and species management consulting. When Patel founded the company in 2002, mostly with his own money and some seed capital from a couple of close friends who became initial investors, DMC s future sustained growth potential seemed limited and, like many upstart businessowners, Patel faced challenges. While he had some success gaining major engineering firm clients, there was significant opportunity in the government market and he needed a strategy and plan to go after it, he said. Finding Solutions for Your Financial Needs Edward Jones pick Katie Dykes up BBN Financial Advisor. 2/3/ U S 1 Unit 3 Rockledge, FL page 12 Katie Dykes Financial Advisor 1240 U S 1 Unit 3 Rockledge, FL Recognizing this, Patel said he sought assistance from the SBDC at Daytona State College, a sub center of the Florida SBDC at the University of Central Florida. They referred him to Derek Hudson, a certified business analyst and procurement specialist at the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) at the FSBDC at UCF. Himself a former Navy Supply Corps officer and consultant on state of Florida projects totaling more than $700 million, Hudson met with Patel and his marketing director and assisted them devising a positioning strategy for competing for government contracts based not only on the company s expertise but also on government socio economic programs including the state of Florida Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification and the state s Disadvantaged Enterprise (DBE) certifications. He also assisted them in registering to sell to multiple government agencies at federal, state and local levels and pointed them toward a method to quickly certify as a Florida MBE and DBE company. As a result, DMC became recognized as a Florida MBE and DBE, a significant competitive advantage in their market. A short time after implementing PTAC s recommendations, and obtaining MBE and DBE certifications, Patel received a phone call from a prime contractor with a contract offer. That benchmark phone call came as a direct result of DMC s being listed as a certified DBE. As an ongoing strategy, Hudson coached Patel regarding identifying teaming and subcontracting opportunities, and made introductions with key personnel within these firms in order to help Patel and his team develop mutually beneficial and profitable business relationships. Since receiving government contracting assistance, DMC s annual growth rate has increased by nearly 15 percent. Today, DMC has an ever growing client list comprised not only of major engineering firms but also of state, local and county government agencies. Patel, in a note to FSBDC at UCF s PTAC program consultant Hudson, said the experience was uplifting.

We have picked up momentum because of your assistance. You have saved us time and money. Patel went on to say: This (PTAC) is what a small business needs, a go to advocate that will focus on our immediate need and facilitate completing a task, and be there until it is complete. In addition to profiting from the FSBDC at UCF s PTAC program, DMC has been the beneficiary of other valuable services from the Florida FSBDC. They participated in its Growth Acceleration Services, receiving a detailed business analysis supported by expert, no cost consulting; they have worked with the FSBDC at Daytona State College s resident certified business analysts on building a robust business plan; and they recently participated in the FSBDC at UCF s Small Business Institute, a program connecting local small businesses to the resources and management expertise of UCF s College of Business Administration and the SBDC at UCF. Based upon his experience with FSBDC at UCF, its sub center at Daytona State College and PTAC, Patel said, the SBDC should be used by both startups and second stage companies as a resource for growth, marketing opportunities, educational training and corporate analysis. With its main office in the National Entrepreneur Center located at the Fashion Square Mall in Orlando, the FSBDC at UCF is part of the UCF Office of Research & Commercialization and the Florida SBDC Network. The FSBDC at UCF provides business seminars and no cost, one on one business consultation to emerging and established businesses.

19 Fidelity Bank of Florida Continued from page 1 of the senator s administration. He ran the senator s seven offices in Florida and one in Washington, D.C. In 2011, Weinberg was elected to the District 5 Seat of the Canaveral Port Authority, and held the position of secretary/treasurer before being elected chairman in March I was encouraged to run for the Canaveral Port Authority seat and was fortunate enough to win 82 of 84 precincts, said the personable Weinberg, who is settling in as chairman of the Canaveral Port Authority. It s a great honor because the Port is a very vibrant economic engine in this county. Certainly, my interest in community banking is long grounded in my interest in civic and public service. Community banking is really important to building a community. When I met with Fidelity Bank President and CEO Lamar Roberts, and heard his philosophy, I knew I wanted to be involved with the bank, said Weinberg. Lamar has a real passion for community banking and I am certain I can add to the strength of the bank s team. Across the nation, community banks fund nearly 60 percent of all small business loans less than $1 million according to the Independent Community Bankers of America. April is Community Banking Month and the Independent Community Bankers of America is encouraging consumers and small business owners to bank locally with a community bank. Representing more than 24,000 locations nationwide and employing nearly 300,000 people, Independent Community Bankers of America members hold more than $1 trillion in assets, $1 trillion in deposits, and nearly $750 billion in loans to consumers, small businesses, and the agricultural community. By driving local economies and creating local jobs, community banks which are small businesses themselves are an integral part of the nation s financial system. There are more than 7,000 community banks across the nation. Organized and opened in 1990, Fidelity Bank is the oldest of three community banks headquartered in Brevard County. In 2011, to refocus the institution and transition it into a more traditional community bank, the board of directors recruited Roberts, an industry veteran, to be its president and CEO. He is one of the most highly regarded bankers in the state, having turned around a number of community banks putting them on the path to growth again, while building others into high performers. Roberts, a native of Georgia, has been the president of six Florida banks including First National Bank of Pasco in Dade City, First National Bank & Trust of Fort Walton Beach, and Florida National Bank of Brevard County over a long career. Locally, Fidelity Bank reached high performance status at the end of the third quarter of 2013, when its return on equity, which measures a corporation s profitability, was 22.4 percent the seventh highest in the state, according to government data. Organized and opened in 1990, Fidelity Bank is the oldest of three community banks headquartered in Brevard County. The results have been noteworthy. Roberts and the Fidelity Bank team are reshaping the institution as it seeks opportunities in the market. There were so many positives here when I came on board, we just needed to focus and strengthen our community banking culture, he said. Roberts has a keen historical perspective of banking over the last half century, having guided financial institutions through up and down economic cycles and gyrating interest rate environments while seeing the industry consolidate. His first banking job was as a part time teller for $1 an hour while attending college in Georgia. At the age of 20 Roberts became a junior lender and was promoted every year thereafter until he was named president of a Florida bank at age 29. Earlier, at age 27 he had been elected mayor and city judge of a Florida municipality. Roberts enjoys telling the story of flying his private plane over cattle ranges to take pictures of herds so he could estimate the head count. The cattle were being used as collateral for agriculture loans. He also served as president of the Florida Bankers Association and held leadership positions with the American Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of America. The son of a Baptist preacher, Roberts says he has three simple guidelines for building a successful bank. His first rule is to make the bank a great place to work. Create an environment where people enjoy what they do and want to do a good job. We have a Fun Committee that was formed to enhance the enjoyment of working for this organization and to recognize outstanding performance. Quarterly, his bank presents a World Class Service award to an employee who has been nominated by their peers and approved by management. Rule No. 2 is to make the institution a great place to bank have the products that people desire and deliver them with world class service. If you accomplish Rule No. 1 and Rule No. 2, then Rule No. 3 have an institution that shareholders want to own takes care of itself, said Roberts. The Fidelity Bank team and board members are honing such an institution. Weinberg joins other board members who include Janson Davis, one of the organizers of Fidelity Bank; Carolyn Storey, local investor; Russell Barnes, retired president, Pan American Services; Dr. Jeffrey Stalnaker, vice president of medical affairs, Community Hospital Section, Health First; and the newly elected Ken Page, who retired from the U.S. Treasury s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, where his last position was assistant deputy comptroller. Page, a graduate of Illinois State University and the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin, began his career with the OCC in He held a number of management positions in Illinois, Washington, D.C., Georgia, and Florida over the course of a 36 year career. I ve know Ken for many years, said Roberts. He is now a highly sought after banking consultant and a trusted advisor. His expertise, coupled with the efforts of our exceptional staff, will keep us focused on compliance. Complying with regulation is a much larger component of bank operations today than years past. A successful bank in the coming decade will be one for whom regulatory compliance is business as usual and not a daily fire drill, said Roberts. Fidelity Bank has taken a number of initiatives to distinguish itself in the market. The most notable being lending, said Kelly Guldi, vice president of commercial lending. We re lending money in the community. We are aggressively seeking small business loans, particularly for the purchase of owner occupied real estate, said Guldi. The bank is also making residential mortgage loans. We are seeing many banks exiting this business entirely because of regulatory concerns, said Joy Winslow, vice president of Fidelity Bank s Residential Mortgage Department. Helping families achieve their dream of homeownership is the foundation on which our industry was built and we are continuing to provide service in this essential area of banking. Another team member, Sue Eastling Chastain, vice president of business development and a Brevard County banker for more than 30 years, said she enjoys attracting new customers to Fidelity Bank and helping existing clients with their financial challenges. We have raised the level of service at Fidelity Bank, she said. A 10 point World Class Service pledge signed by each employee is displayed in our lobby. Among the notable points are, We will know you by name and use it to address you; if we don t know it, we will learn it, said Eastling Chastain, who is involved in many community organizations including Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County, where she is a board of directors member. Roberts says to be successful, community banks must take their place in the cities and towns they serve. Longstanding and successful community banks are staffed with people who are active in the community. The additions of Messrs. Weinberg, Page and Roberts to the team has positioned Fidelity Bank for the future, said Janson Davis, board chairman. We believe we have our finger on the pulse of Brevard County, and we know our team can help Brevard County grow and prosper.
