Happy New Year! I am beyond excited to serve as Chairwoman

of the Board of Berkeley County’s leading business organization

this year. I feel very privileged to be among the very

distinguished group of those who have served before me.

We predict that 2018 will be another stellar year for our

Chamber! Right off the bat we are introducing two new programs –

News@Noon and Connect Berkeley. Join us on Friday, January 12 for the first

Rise and Shine Breakfast of the year when Chamber President Tina Combs will

share information about the new Chamber programs being launched in 2018,

opportunities to participate on committees, ways to promote your business, and

how to take full advantage of your Chamber membership benefits.

Our Chamber staff and Board of Directors strive to deliver quality programs and

opportunities to help you succeed in your business or organization, and we hope

that you will take advantage of those opportunities. It is important to us that we

continue to provide these programs and services that are beneficial to our

members. We strive to keep our mission at the forefront to facilitate the

economic progress of our members. To make sure we are providing this benefit,

we ask that you give us your feedback throughout the year.

Again, it is an honor to serve as your Chairwoman of the Board this year, and I

look forward to working with each of you. On behalf of the Chamber of

Commerce Board of Directors and Staff, we wish you a successful year in 2018!

Chairwoman’s Corner Gail Moxley

2018 Legislative Outlook Forum

Special thanks to our Eastern Panhandle

legislators and to Hans Fogle

(WEPM 93.7FM/1340 AM)

for facilitating our 2018 Legislative

Outlook Forum.

Page 10: VOLUME 8: ISSUE 01 JANUARY 2018 BUSINESS MATTERS · 2018-01-05 · BUSINESS MATTERS VOLUME 8: ISSUE 01 JANUARY 2018 MARTINSBURG - BERKELEY COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 198 Viking Way

the awarding of a $135,000 twelve-month federal

grant to Berkeley County Schools to

administer the program. The MPD Chief, Maury

Richards, says that, “TMI is using the special

connection between police, schools, and families

to build relationships that will prevent drug abuse

and addiction. It’s never been done anywhere

before, but we’ve started it here. The Martinsburg

Initiative will become a prevention model for our

entire country.”

TMI applies the pioneering science of Dr. Vincent

Felitti’s Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood

Experiences (ACE) Study through a neighborhood,

school-based, and community policing strategy

that begins with the family. TMI will continue to

expand community resources and link law

enforcement, schools, communities, and families

in a dynamic partnership that assesses

participants’ ACE scores, links them to necessary

resources and supports, and connects

participating students with positive adult mentors.

The grant will support a full-time Project Director,

Berkeley County Schools Social Worker,

Tiffany Hendershot, and will now be expanded to

include all Elementary and Intermediate schools

within the City of Martinsburg.

Shepherd University will continue conducting

an on-going study to assess results, contributing

volunteer interns to help run the program, and

providing mentors for youth.

Join us in congratulating Orsini’s Appliances

Sales and Service on their 70th anniversary this

year! The company has been family owned and

operated since 1948.

Our Members CoxHollidaYoung PLLC’s

Ruth Byers has dedicated over

59 years to her career and has

decided that it is now time to

retire and move on.

Congratulations and best wishes

to you, Ruth!

A group of Bank of Charles Town (BCT)

employees recently held a “no shave November”

fundraiser in support of the WVU Medicine

University Healthcare Regional Cancer Center,

a part of the WVU Cancer Institute.

The employees raised over $900 for the patient

cancer comfort fund in memory of Bob Baronner,

former BCT President/CEO and University

Healthcare board director, who succumbed to

cancer in early 2017. The cancer comfort fund

helps provide emergency assistance to cancer

patients locally who do not qualify for other

area programs. Some of the immediate needs

covered by the fund include food supplements,

medication and gas cards for transportation to

and from medical appointments.

WVU Heart & Vascular

Institute in Martinsburg

M.D. to the cardiology practice.

Dr. Kesan, a board certified

cardiologist, is a graduate of the

at the University of Arkansas for Medical

Sciences in Little Rock and a fellowship in

electrophysiology at the Indiana University

The Newland Insurance Agency has been proud to serve the greater Martinsburg area for more than 20 years. With a combined total of 90 years’ experience in the insurance industry, Dawn Newland and her team of insurance professionals are uniquely positioned to provide clients with expert, personalized service in a caring and simple manner. State Farm, well known for being a "good neighbor" by "being there" for our customers, was founded in 1922 by retired farmer and insurance salesman George Jacob "G.J." Mecherle. The company now insures more cars and homes than any other insurer in the United States. The company’s corporate mission has always been to be the first and best choice in the products and services it provides. For the third year in a row, State Farm has been selected by the Financial Services Roundtable (FSR) to receive the Corporate Social Responsibility Leadership Award. As a company, it has been consistently recognized as a top employer in the U.S., a leader in the community, and a green partner. For more on the State Farm story, click here: State Farm. Dawn has been associated with State Farm for 27 years and believes her blood is “State Farm red”. “While I never imagined a lifetime career in the insurance industry, I couldn’t imagine it with any other company,” Dawn says as she reflects back to 1990. “Their values line up with mine. ‘Like a Good Neighbor’ is not just a catchphrase to me. Being able to help people understand their policy and coverage, being there through a loss, and giving back to my community is at the core of why this has been such a rewarding career.”

Dawn has been blessed with having gifted team members that are committed to providing remarkable customer service to each and every client. They offer State Farm insurance products with local service -- from Kearneysville to Hedgesville, Falling Waters to Inwood, Shepherdstown to Gerrardstown and all points in between. As long-term residents, they love assisting relocations and local residents alike. The Newland team strives to keep it simple and make sure you have proper coverage, at the best price, all while truly caring about helping to make your life go right.

This program wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors:

December was Education Day for Leadership Berkeley and it

was a day packed full of tours and presentations from many of

the education resources in the community. The day started

with a fabulous breakfast prepared by the students at James

Rumsey Technical Institute. After breakfast, Leadership

Berkeley participants were treated to a tour of the facility and

learned about the many great programs at JRTI. After leaving

James Rumsey the group traveled to North Middle School

where they were served a delicious lunch prepared by the

Family and Consumer Sciences students and enjoyed a musical

performance by the choir. The group also met with the

Berkeley County Business Education Partnership and heard from Berkeley County

Schools Superintendent Manny Arvon. The afternoon was busy with tours of Valley College,

Shepherd University Martinsburg Center, and Blue Ridge Community and Technical

College. Leadership Berkeley will travel to Charleston on January 21-23 to learn about state

government.
