Topic: Workers Comp is Changing: Is Your Family Business Prepared?
Thursday, January 17, 2008
7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
Alumni Hall at Ohio Dominican University
Speaker: Sherri Simpson, Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation
Workers’ Compensation in Ohio is a hot topic among business owners
right now. The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation is in the
process of reviewing the group-rating program that has been in
existence for years and attempting to resolve what they feel are
inequities in the current system. While a comprehensive review of
the group rating program is currently under way, in November,
leaders of the Ohio workers compensation system mandated immediate
reductions in group rating discounts for employers participating in
group rating programs. This action means increased costs for most
family businesses. Sherri Simpson of the BWC Community Relations
Department will talk with members about the administration’s
position, BWC’s short and long term plans, and will share
information about Bureau programs and incentives which, if
implemented by Ohio businesses, will help to lower a company’s
annual workers compensation expense. Don’t miss this opportunity to
spend time with an Ohio BWC employee who can shed light on this “hot
topic” and who can become your company’s contact at the bureau. Don
Beck, attorney with FBC Service Provider Member Thompson Hine has
agreed to be on hand to help us understand these changes. Don
practices in Thompson Hine’s Workers' Compensation practice group,
focusing on workers' compensation and litigation issues. Bring a
member of your HR staff for what promises to be an eye-opening and
important discussion for any family business owner doing business in
Ohio. Please let us know you are coming by e-mailing Becky Blatt at
blatt@familybusinesscenter.com.

Small Business Savings Plan: 101 Tactics for Controlling Costs and
Boosting the Bottom Line
Thursday, February 21, 2008
7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
Alumni Hall at Ohio Dominican University
Speaker: Tim Gase, owner of Peerless Saw in Groveport
In an age
of increasing insurance premiums, salaries and technology costs,
being cost conscious is on the minds of many family business
owners. Tim Gase, owner of Peerless Saw in Groveport and author of
the recently released book Small Business Savings Plan: 101 Tactics
for Controlling Costs and Boosting the Bottom Line will share some
of his 101 cost saving strategies with members of the Family
Business Center of Central Ohio at our February meeting. Using his
own business experiences and those of over 50 business owners he
interviewed for his book, Tim has developed a list of strategies
that will save a business a significant amount of money. By
implementing the cost saving strategies outlined in his book, Tim
helped to grow his Groveport, Ohio business from a $ 6.8 million
dollar company to one worth more than $ 10 million. Every small
business owner wants to control costs and can -- by being informed,
thinking creatively, and working proactively. Tim assures us that
these best practices will not only have a direct impact on the
company bottom line, but, if done right, will positively affect
employee productivity and morale. Join us on Thursday February 21,
2007 as Tim tells us how.

Educational Program –
If Disaster Strikes Is Your Family Business Prepared?
Advice from a family business CEO who led his company out of the
ashes
Thursday, March 13, 2008
7:30 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. Networking
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Program
Alumni Hall at Ohio Dominican University
Join the Conway
Family Business Center for an educational program featuring Nick
Chilton, CEO of Wyandot Inc. In 1996, two years after Nick assumed
leadership of this snack food manufacturer located in Marion, Ohio,
fire completely destroyed the company’s production capacity and
could have easily closed the doors of this family business forever.
Under Nick’s strong leadership and with the assistance of a
dedicated staff and a sound insurance plan, Wyandot Inc. survived
the disaster and is today one of the leading US snack-food contract
manufacturers. Nick’s presentation is a case study of every family
business owner’s greatest fear – disaster. Nick will offer his
recommendations about disaster preplanning, disaster response,
rebuilding the family business and the importance of insurance
management prior to and during recovery. His comments are
practical, blunt and sometimes controversial but comments every
family business owner should hear.
