THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR EVOLUTIONThe Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted unanimously to change the annual term of a board director to January 1 through December 31, which now coincides with the organization’s fiscal year. Until six years ago, the fiscal year was October 1 through September 30, which was changed to the calendar year in 2012. However, the annual board term remained on the October 1 schedule. As recommended by the Strategic Planning Committee, the modification to the by-laws now allows board members to be well versed in the organization for the budget planning process, which starts in November. Subsequently, the board election timeline has changed, too. Nominations will be solicited at the beginning of August for the three open director positions. As you consider either serving yourself or nominating a candidate, here are four reasons why being a board member is beneficial to professional growth:
SERVE THE COMMUNITYProviding your time and guidance to the mission of an organization is a positive way to share your time and expertise while influencing growth and change. The Chamber has three major tenants to its mission: creating commerce in the shoulder seasons, providing members the opportunity for professional development and serving as an advocate on issues affecting the local business community.
GAIN A BROADER PERSPECTIVE As a Board member, contribute to the conversation on key issues such as infrastructure and short-term rental tax legislation. Being knowledgeable on the various concerns of lower eastern Sussex County allows Board members to grow in their business expertise and community leadership.
LEARN DIPLOMACYConstructive conversation is crucial to influencing the Chamber’s mission. Discussions on key issues lead to different perspectives as the Board works for a common position on any particular issue. The Chamber has 13 Board members from diverse backgrounds, which creates strong dialogue in meetings and sustains a positive direction for the organization.
GROW YOUR NETWORK Serving on a Board of Directors allows you to interact with a variety of people and populations. The interactions in Board meetings and attending events as an ambassador of the Chamber allows a Board member to increase business contacts and grow in leadership. In this past year, Senator Carper held a roundtable with the Board and the 40th Membership Celebration brought all past presidents together for a private reception.

M ember SPOTLIGHT: MCKAY MORTGAGE COMPANYTina McKay is a familiar face at many of our networking events. Equally as omnipresent is her son Brendan McKay at networking events for the Bethesda, Maryland Chamber of Commerce. Together they founded McKay Mortgage Company, which is a family partnership dedicated to helping people make confident and informed decisions when purchasing a new home or refinancing their current mortgage. Tina and Brendan both have extensive backgrounds in every area of mortgage banking from origination to underwriting to closing, and pride themselves on clear communication, timely responses, expert insights and optimal home ownership strategies tailored to each borrower. Tina has been a local industry leader for the past two decades. As a former president of the Maryland Association of Mortgage Professionals, she has a deep understanding of how regulatory changes and real estate industry trends impact the residential mortgage market in all of the regions she serves. Over and above that, according to Brendan, “being involved with the Bethany-Fenwick and Bethesda Chambers is beneficial because it’s important to know what’s going on in the communities that we live in, both as business owners and citizens.” He added “The Chambers give us an outlet to contribute to our communities, have a positive impact, and meet other people who are trying to do the same.” If you are wondering if now is the right time to refinance, McKay Mortgage offers a free evaluation of your current mortgage to see if restructuring makes sense, including offering options to lower your payment, pay off your mortgage faster, eliminate credit card debt, or take cash out of your equity to finance large expenses such as college tuition or home renovations.

AROUND THE Quiet ResortsMIKEN BUILDERS NAMED SUSSEX COUNTY
CUSTOM HOME BUILDER OF THE YEAR
MIKEN Builders won three prestigious awards from the Home Builders Association of Delaware (HBADE) at the Regal Awards Ceremony at Irish Eyes in Milton. According to the website, HBADE is a “professional association of industry leaders who are committed to excellence through our support of legislative, educational and economic initiatives to promote Delaware’s economic well being and quality of life.” The Regal Awards annually spotlight outstanding achievements in Delaware’s Home Building industry.
MIKEN received the 2016-2017 Best Luxury Custom Home Award, Sussex County Custom Builder of the Year Award, and the award for Best Video for their promotional video A Reputation of Excellence. This is the fifth consecutive year that the company has been recognized for excellence in home building and reno-vations by the HBADE. MIKEN Builders was founded in 1986 in Wilmington, Delaware by Michael Cummings. In 1994, the company expanded to Millville, Delaware to serve the coastal community by offering custom home building, as well as home remodeling services, to areas including Bethany, Rehoboth, and Dewey Beaches, Ocean City, MD, and the inland areas of Delaware such as Millsboro, Dagsboro, Ocean View, and Clarksville. MIKEN is a company synonymous with outstanding craftsmanship and customer service, and that was validated by the recent reward. “To be recognized again this year for our work – our delivery of superior quality, our personal approach to client satisfaction – is an honor,” said Mike Cum-mings, Founder and CEO. “We recognize that a home is a major investment and our staff is dedicated to deliver a place where cherished memories are created for today and for generations to come.” In addition to its commitment to craftsmanship and customer service, MIK-EN is also a company that values the importance of community outreach. MIKEN contributes to numerous charitable causes, reaching thousands with its philan-thropy, in and around DelMarVa. The company supports The Ronald McDonald House, Pinetown Community Center, Toys for Tots, Surfin’ Snowman 5 Miler, Wings of Hope…A Butterfly Release, and Lord Baltimore Elementary School, among other causes.
