Q&A with jeff grace
‘I’m always excited to see what comes next’ Jeff Grace, a graduate of Clark High School and UNLV, founded the IT service company NetEffect in 2002 and merged it with Dave Rounds’ UptimeLV in 2014. The firm, Grace says, has seen a “dramatic increase in the number of businesses interested in leveraging Office 365 for email, collaboration, data security, etc.” true of the past 10 years, and I see no reason why it wouldn’t be true going forward. I enjoy what I do, and wouldn’t change it.
What is the best business advice you’ve received? I’m a giant fan of Patrick Lencioni’s books and his emphasis on organizational health. His advice for continually cultivating cohesiveness, simplicity, trust and clarity is something I strive to remember and align myself with continually. In business, most folks focus on more, smarter, faster, better, etc. — which is important, of course — but Lencioni’s approach, while counterintuitive at times, is pure gold.
What is your dream job, outside of your current field? I’d love to be a personal trainer or yoga teacher. I love to exercise, and I am continually learning more in that arena. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? Las Vegas is hard to beat, but I’d love to live in Northern Italy. I like the climate, the food, the history and architecture, and the people. And you can get from there to most places in Europe quickly and easily.
If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? I’d make our public school system best-in-class. It’s fallen so far since I went to school here, and our struggling school system holds our community back in many ways. What has been your most exciting professional project to date? Building NetEffect has been a continual source of excitement and pride for the past 13 years. I feel blessed and honored to be where I am, and I’m always excited to see what comes next. I get most excited in seeing people at NetEffect grow and succeed, and knowing I played a part in that. You’ve been working in technology for 17 years. What are the biggest changes that you have noticed in the industry? The changes in technology are astounding, and continue to amaze me. I think back to the days of connecting to the Internet with a modem, then DSL, and now our cellphones connect to the Internet at frighteningly fast speeds. Internet speeds and cloud computing are the two biggest changes that stand out for me, along with the dark side of technology: hacking and cyberterrorism. You converged businesses with UptimeLV founder Dave Rounds in 2014. What was it about the business and his skills that made you want to partner with him? Dave Rounds is an exemplary human being. He’s impeccable with his

word, he has an unsurpassed work ethic and he’s really smart. He and I have very complementary attributes; I prefer business development and dreaming big, and Dave is incredible at integrating all facets of the business and tying it all together. How essential is it for gaming and hospitality industries to have a strong IT team and technology relationship? IT is crucial for almost every organization and industry, and gaming and hospitality is no exception. In 2012, NetEffect received the first gaming license ever granted to an IT service provider, and this license allows us to participate in the support and management of Gaming Control Board-regulated IT systems. What are you reading right now? I’m re-reading Patrick Lencioni’s “The Advantage” along with “The Four Agreements,” by Don Miguel Ruiz. I listen to them on audible.com; it’s a perfect way to get great content while driving or working out at the gym. I find that much more relaxing
than sitting down with a book. What do you do after work? I have two children, ages 3 and 5, so I spend a lot of time with them and my awesome wife. We spend a lot of time at Lifetime Fitness, working out and doing fun stuff with our kids. Our daughter recently started mastering the rock wall. Blackberry, iPhone or Android? Android! The thought of using an iPhone fills me with dread! Describe your management style. I think one’s management style is hard to define since different situations call for different responses. Overall, I think I give clear directions and make it clear to people that I’m invested in their success, and that an integral part of my job is to help them overcome obstacles to be more successful. Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years? I see myself doing the same thing, only bigger and better. That’s been
Whom do you admire? I admire anyone who has strength of character. I learned many years ago to minimize the importance of personality, and instead focus on a person’s ability to be authentic, kind, trustworthy, and stand up for what they believe. I admire my friends, family members, coworkers, and many local business leaders and colleagues. What is your biggest pet peeve? Dishonesty of any kind, even slight. Where do you like to go for business lunches? I’m a bit of a foodie, so I’ll go just about any place. My favorites are DW Bistro and Tommy Bahama’s. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I struggle with being impatient. I usually want to see results more quickly than are possible, so I’d definitely welcome more patience. What is something people might not know about you? After graduating from UNLV in the ’90s, I lived out of a backpack for seven months, traveling throughout Europe, India and Nepal. When riding a motorcycle in India, you must drive on the left and yield to elephants!

‘Vodka and gin don’t have to be so rough’ azzurre sprits
Dan Pettit: Azzurre Spirits is a unique ultra-premium vodka and gin brand made with no artificial ingredients. Typically, vodkas and gins are distilled from grains or potatoes and therefore require multiple distillations or filtrations, whereas Azzurre is minimally distilled to preserve the true character of the spirit.

Angela Pettit: We feel like Azzurre’s customers are fit, fun and full of life. Our customers care about quality. We’re also popular among bartenders and mixologists; the flavor of the spirit they choose affects the quality of their drinks. What’s it like being business partners with family?
DP: Being business partners with my daughter is special, and I love having Angela there for support and to lean on when making business decisions. It is exciting to see her grow in her career and be able to share this with her. AP: Being business partners with my dad is fun, easy and rewarding. I’m lucky to be able to learn from such a successful businessman. Why did you decide to use fruits and sugar cane in your product instead of wheat or grains?
DP: After researching the different methods involved in making vodka, and trying to figure out why new companies are doing more distillations or more filtering, a solution dawned on us. Other brands were distilling and filtering their spirits more to remove something they didn’t want. Our research demonstrated that a blend of apples, grapes and sugar cane would yield a smooth, and also gluten-free, product. We also use Alembic stills to finish the product,
DP: Yes, that is in the works. What’s the most important part of your job?
DP: The most important part of our job is to keep everything moving in the right direction. This entails coordinating the sales, legal and production efforts, and making sure we are proactively looking for new outlets and ways to get our product placed. AP: It’s important to convey to customers that vodka and gin don’t have to be so rough. There is a way to enjoy a clean, smooth spirit that you don’t have to cover up with juices and syrups. What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?
DP: Trying to get Azzurre into the largest stores, restaurants, hotels, etc., is not impossible, but very difficult to do when up against larger producers and products. What is the best part about doing business here?
AP: We are able to connect with our local market and promote within the community, which makes it great to have our business based here. We like to support local businesses, events and mixologists.

From homelessness to captain of homebuilding industry, Canarelli has seen it all in Las Vegas By eli segall Staff Writer
Larry Canarelli spent his childhood in poverty, living in a tent alongside a river, in an orphanage, in shacks, and sleeping on a fold-out chair. But he’s long had an entrepreneurial bent and a strength for numbers. And over the course of more than 30 years, he’s built a Las Vegas homebuilding empire. Canarelli founded American West Homes in 1984 and has built more than 17,000 homes in the valley through the company. In a market dominated by out-of-state, publicly traded companies, American West is the only privately held, locally based builder among the area’s top sellers. Builders closed 6,800 new-home sales in 2015 in Clark County. American West was No. 6 with 451 closings, and the next-closest private builder was Jim Rhodes’ Harmony Homes, which was No. 13 with 161 sales, said Dennis Smith, founder of Las Vegasbased Home Builders Research. Canarelli owns land throughout the valley for more homes, as well as thousands of acres outside Las Vegas in Pahrump, Mesquite and Boulder City. He doesn’t have a timeline for developing the land in Mesquite and wouldn’t say what his plans are for Boulder City. But he says he aims to develop a 4,400-home community in Pahrump and open model homes there by spring 2018. Like other builders, Canarelli was hit hard by last decade’s housing bust and recession. His company went from selling 1,000 homes a year in the early 2000s to around 100 during the downturn, and his American West Development Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012, claiming $55.4 million in assets and $207.7 million in liabilities, court records show. But Canarelli, who as a child read his grandmother’s books about mansions in Beverly Hills, Calif., stuck with it. “This is an instinct and a street-fight business, and you have to love it,” he says. The 69-year-old builder recently sat down with VEGAS INC in his office on Pilot Road, just south of McCarran International Airport. Edited excerpts: Tell us about your upbringing. I was born in Roseburg, Ore. My birth father was in the Coast Guard, and my mother lived in Oregon. She

had already had a child, and I was born after they (Canarelli’s birth parents) got married. We lived in a tent on the Umpqua River. He was a laborer in the lumber camps (after leaving the Coast Guard). They had no money; we just lived on the river. Then we moved to California. My father worked in another logging camp, and we lived on a river. I was 1 or 2. My mother washed the sheets in the Merced River. We moved to the mountains and had a little cabin, a wood-cutter shack thing; we collected rain in a cistern. Then we moved down into the San Joaquin Valley. My dad was a laborer at a dairy. We had a little two-room shack. I guess we were no longer homeless. We had bunk beds, but I slept in a fold-out chair. We pumped the water with a little hand-pump out front. We had outside toilets, of course. Every morning we got a 2 1/2-gallon thing of milk. My dad left, and I never saw him again. I was around 5. My mother was 21 years old and had four children. She brought me to a Pentecostal orphanage voluntarily. We went to all the tent revivals in the early ’50s and went to church five times a week. That was the first time I had a real bathroom, in the orphanage. I was there about a year and a half.
Afterward, we moved around, rented houses. My mother met my stepfather, and we lived in this little one-bedroom house. There were seven of us; I had four sisters. We moved into town, and we lived close to the library. I used to go there every day, and the librarian took me under her wing. She let me check out two books a day, and I’d read two books a day. I was 7 or 8 at the time. I had been a little behind in school; the poor kids don’t get pushed, they don’t get as much attention in school. It’s just kind of how life is. Early on, did you notice you had an aptitude for certain subjects? When I was in third grade, I wasn’t even in the top reading groups. But that was the year they start pushing math, and I have a very high math aptitude. I’m extremely good with numbers, and the teachers realized I was smart. They worked with me, kept me after school. When you were growing up in the San Joaquin Valley, were you in a low-income area and everyone around you was struggling?
I don’t think so. It was a standalone city with a nice downtown. The area of town you live in, it really tells you what your status in life is. I was always really sensitive to not being one of the haves. My older sister, she and I basically raised our younger sisters. We were much older and had to take care of them. Sometimes we didn’t have anything for sandwiches, so we’d just have mustard. We never asked for help. When I was 9 years old, I got my first paper route, for the Fresno Bee. I’d read the paper and found a house in the classified ads. My mother worked a little bit as a waitress and had a tip jar; my stepfather was working at a feed store for $1.50 an hour. They called the guy from the ad and took me with them. They assumed the seller’s VA loan and bought the home; it was the 12th house I had lived in, a three-bedroom, onebath, 950 square feet. It was a typical subdivision like you’d see in the older Las Vegas areas. I got the paper route in there and ended up having 100 customers. I was always fairly entrepreneurial, even when I was little. When I was born, my last name was Graves. I started going by Canarelli when I was 9. That’s my stepfather’s name. He’s from Brooklyn. I was always going to go to college;

it never really occurred to me that I wouldn’t. Fortunately, tuition was a lot less then, and I worked for people when I went to UCLA. I worked for this couple in Bel Air, every Saturday morning for four hours, $2 an hour. They liked me and paid my tuition the last three years of college. Not a huge thing — it was only $100 a quarter in those days. He also paid my tuition for graduate school. The man, George Page, came to L.A. from Nebraska when he was 14 or 15, saved every nickel, started Mission Pak, a dried-fruit business, and assembled all this land. Just a humble old guy. He built the Page Museum in L.A. I eventually went to work for a homebuilder in Santa Monica. It was a wonderful deal for me. In the 1973-74 recession, they let go of everybody ahead of me, so I was promoted to vice president in charge of marketing and sales. I had a pretty high profile as a real young guy. I wasn’t 30 yet. Metropolitan Development hired me in 1976 following the closure of that business. Metropolitan had one community in Las Vegas and one in Tucson, Ariz. I loved Las Vegas instantly. You could put your arms around it; it’s a big island. What was Las Vegas’ reputation at the time? What did you know about it before you came here? Like a lot of people, we knew about the Strip and not much more. There might not have been much more to know. Builders sold houses out of garages, so competing and doing great marketing and aggressive floors plans was a piece of cake. It wasn’t too competitive here? It wasn’t. When the market was good, everybody sold everything; when the market was bad, nobody sold anything. There wasn’t very much sophistication. Builders didn’t merchandise; they furnished models a little bit, but it was really basic. Their salesmen wore leisure suits and were extremely casual; there was no follow-up with prospective buyers. It was just really seat-of-the-pants. I started working here in 1976 and bought all the land for Metropolitan. By 1979, we were the biggest builder in the state. From ’81 to ’83, it was very difficult. Mortgage rates were over 18 percent, and you had to figure out how to sell houses. In 1982, we did 237 closings, and just one other builder had more than 100 closings. There was a terrible national recession. Still, the company wanted me to move here to establish a stand-alone division. I didn’t really want to leave Manhattan Beach and Beverly Hills and that lifestyle, but in the end, I didn’t have any choice. But I knew that as soon as I got here, I’d leave the company and do my own thing. By 1984, I left and started American West. We were the biggest builder here by 1986. We had 667 closings that year. There had been a lot of publicly traded builders here, but they would come and go. They couldn’t keep their
division presidents off the Strip and in tune with what they were sent here to do. They’d come out and gamble and party? They’d get distracted at the very least, because of all the gambling and partying. They wouldn’t throw their lives away, but it was hard. Then KB Home came in the early ’90s, and D.R. Horton came in ’93. Everybody got established and started competing. It was highly competitive through the mid- to late ’90s. What did you notice in the peak bubble years last decade that you thought wasn’t normal? When you have your pricing meeting, and we had one every week, every one of the communities had taken 10 deposit checks. It was unreal. Your marketing people would show you that the public builders around you had just raised their prices by $60,000, so to stay even we could raise our prices by $60,000. We raised our prices enough that we could buy more land, but we were far behind the other builders in our pricing. We made a huge amount of money, but as a result of not raising prices so high, we had less foreclosures in our communities than any other builder in Las Vegas. All of our communities have a lot of grass turf in the front yards, so even if there were foreclosures, when you drove down the street, you couldn’t see that the house was abandoned. Did a lot of people abandon the homes you had sold them? In a 20-house cul-de-sac of ours, I don’t think it would be uncommon to see two or three empty houses during the recession. But it was not uncommon to see 15 or 18 empty houses in other cul-de-sacs. It was enough to scare you, even as the eternal optimist that I am. One thing I’ve read about you is you’re particularly good at buying land. Can you talk about your landbuying strategy and how much you own today? I do assemble land; the larger the pieces we can assemble, the nicer the communities we can make. I’ve raised all four of my children here, they’ve all gone to public schools. That’s all part of being ingrained into the fabric and culture of Las Vegas — you coach baseball, you coach soccer, you know the families. You just have a huge advantage on where people want to live and what they want to do. I know almost every single piece of land in town, and I know what that land was 10, 20 and 30 years ago. I’ve been immersed in this. I wasn’t going down to casinos and gambling or going to shows 30 years ago; I was driving around looking at communities and coaching and knowing what’s going on in our city.
Hsieh-backed apartment project kicks off construction downtown By eli segall Staff Writer
With new bars, restaurants and retailers, downtown Las Vegas’ Fremont Street has come a long way in recent years from a history of drugs, prostitution and blight. It still lags other big cities’ urban cores, but an ingredient that many people see as crucial to Fremont’s revival is taking shape: new housing. Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project, which has been fueling Fremont’s comeback, and the Wolff Co., an Arizona-based apartment investment firm, held a news conference this month to unveil the name of their five-story, 231-unit rental complex and to celebrate its groundbreaking. The 1.3-acre project, dubbed Fremont9, is at the southeast corner of Fremont and 9th streets, next to Atomic Liquors and two blocks east of the retail and eatery complex Downtown Container Park, another Hsieh-backed development. Fremont9 is slated to include 15,000 square feet of retail, as well as a “hip resident lounge,” a resort-style pool, quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, developers said. Site work is underway, but nothing vertical is built. The investors aim to finish in the second quarter of 2017, said Nate Carlson, a vice president of development for Wolff. Fremont9 comes as Las Vegas’ apartment market heats up with rising rents, shrinking vacancies and increased construction. Investors are mostly building along the 215 Beltway in southwest Las Vegas and Henderson. Despite downtown’s popularity with younger adults, a key source of renters, apartment developers are largely avoiding the neighborhood. Among other things, it’s easier and cheaper to build in the valley’s outer rings; Fremont Street lacks a full-service supermarket; and downtown remains laced with vagrants, vacant lots and boarded-up buildings. John Curran, Downtown Project’s real estate portfolio manager, said it’s something of a “pioneering neighborhood,” and that a project there needs developers who can see what downtown would be “in a few years, rather than where it is today.” Carlson, for one, said “a lot of people don’t understand how amazing” it is on Fremont Street east of the casino-packed, canopy-covered Fremont Street Experience, and that when his group saw “what this place can become, we were very interested” in developing a project. Fremont9’s average rental rates are expected to be around $1,000 to $1,100 per month, with units ranging from 500 to 1,200 square feet, Carlson said. In the Las Vegas area, the average asking rent in the first quarter was $918, according to New York-based research firm Reis Inc. “We have been waiting so long for residences downtown, and to have them be available for people not of the highest income ... it’s just really exciting,” Mayor Carolyn Goodman said.

Panel discusses merits of allowing wagering on video gaming events By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
State leaders and regulators recently explored whether Nevada could allow wagering on e-sports, a growing industry of video game competitions that attracts millennials and is expected to bring in $1.9 billion by 2018. During a meeting of the Nevada Gaming Policy Committee — a panel that included Gov. Brian Sandoval, regulators and casino executives — topics such as daily fantasy sports, e-sports, skills-based gaming and online gaming were discussed. The popularity of the video game industry could bring significant economic development if regulators agreed to take wagers on games. “We can’t be trapped in a 40-year-old paradigm,” Sandoval said of current gaming regulations. Over the past few years, gaming companies in Nevada have increasingly embraced the e-sports industry. The Downtown Grand has an e-sports lounge, a Beijing-based firm is looking to build esports arenas here and an e-sports league recently had its championships at the 12,000-seat Mandalay Bay Events Center. Many e-sports tournaments are contested before large crowds — hence, the desire to place a wager. Wagering on these events is not allowed in Nevada, but it is permitted by international sports books, including in the United Kingdom. Before Nevada opens the gates to wagering here, committee members said the state must consider the integrity of matches. Important policy questions include how leagues are regulated and policed, how games are standardized and whether those who engage in e-sports could be classified as professional athletes. “Where’s the hammer?” Tony Alamo, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission, asked of the industry’s ability to punish those who violate rules. Craig Levine, CEO of match organizer Electronic Sports League, said most issues could be avoided by standardizing machines, taking anti-doping measures (gamers use Adderall to enhance their concentration) and using data to avoid match fixing. The league launched a worldwide association to better organize matches and advocate for best practices in e-sports. “We’ve tried to be very proactive,”
Levine said. Officials appeared open to categorizing e-sports as a professional sport. One retired e-sports player, Jonathan Wendel, who goes by the handle “Fatal1ty” and was featured on “60 Minutes,” gave testimony outlining his regimen for practicing and staying alert. Art Manteris, vice president of race and sports operations at Station Casinos, likened it to the training and preparation undertaken by race car drivers. Manteris, who expressed interested in e-sports betting, asked the committee to weigh whether it was a sport. If regulators decided that were the case, e-sports betting could be permitted without any additional policy or regulatory approval. “It very well may be that it is an athletic event,” Sandoval said. There appears to be some momentum in that direction. The U.S. State Department has issued professional athlete visas to e-sports players, and international sports books treat e-sports as athletic events. A more difficult policy issue for the committee might be the regulation of esports betting on a poker model, where players compete against one another. That is not done at any brick-and-mortar casino. Two analysts presented testimony to the committee on the future of online gaming. Nevada allows online gaming only for poker, whereas New Jersey has allowed online-gaming providers to add casino games to their offerings. Michael Cohen, an executive at Caesars Interactive Entertainment Inc., said online gaming had been key to attracting millennials. Both Cohen and MGM Resorts International CEO Jim Murren said the digital technology was not in conflict with their brick-and-mortar businesses. Online gaming revenue in Nevada has been lackluster because of the low number of people playing here. To spur activity, the state signed an agreement last year with Delaware that allowed gamblers in each state to play each other. Sandoval expressed interest in a similar deal with New Jersey but said that state has expressed unwillingness to sign a deal. “I would like nothing better than to have an agreement with New Jersey,” he said. “I’ve never understood why there’s a reluctance to do that.”
Despite legal setback, group to keep battling Nevada’s commerce tax By megan messerly Staff Writer
A conservative group isn’t giving up its fight to repeal a tax passed by the 2015 Legislature, despite a major blow dealt to its efforts this month by the Nevada Supreme Court. In a ruling focusing on a petition circulated last fall by the group, RIP Commerce Tax, justices concluded that a summary accompanying the petition did not adequately explain how repealing Nevada’s new commerce tax would affect the state budget. One of the main proponents of the anti-tax initiative, state Controller Ron Knecht, said the court didn’t understand the nuances of the issue as well as the trial court judge, who ruled in the group’s favor. In their opinion, the justices wrote that “even though the tax’s disapproval will necessarily unbalance the budget approved by the Legislature in 2015 … the (accompanying summary, known as a description of effect) makes no mention whatsoever of this critical requirement.” They added that the current description is “deceptive” for not identifying “the practical ramifications” of what repealing the tax would mean. The commerce tax, which applies to businesses that generate more than $4 million each year in revenue in the state, was one portion of an omnibus tax plan passed by the Legislature in 2015. The commerce tax and other tax measures passed by the Legislature allowed the state to allocate extra money to K-12 education in Nevada in its 2015-17 budget. The way the tax is structured, the money it generates is allocated to be spent during the current fiscal year, but isn’t collected until after the end of the fiscal year. That means the first round of the tax will be collected in August — which the ballot measure wouldn’t be able to stop, because voters won’t weigh in until November. The second round will be collected in August 2017. Knecht argues that because the Legislature will meet before the second round is collected, it could fix the budget hole that a repeal would create. “Our point is that there is zero effect in this biennium,” Knecht said. “There’s no hole in the budget.” “By ignoring the significant effect the referendum would have on the balanced budget mandate, the description of effect suggests that no such effect exists and is thus materially misleading,” Justice Nancy Saitta wrote. “As a result, the petition’s signers have been both deceived and misled.” Proponents of the repeal initiative have contended that argument ignores the way budgets are put together. Knecht also suggested that the lower court judge, James Wilson, had a better understanding of the case. “Judge Wilson had read and understood everything and, quite frankly, he was able to see through the budget process,” Knecht said. “For some reason (the Supreme Court) decided to reverse the trial court even though the trial court judge obviously had done all the homework and knew the facts and details better.” Knecht and other opponents of the commerce tax are considering their options. Under Nevada court rules, the Supreme Court may rehear or reconsider the matter under a limited set of circumstances. Another option Knecht suggested is going back to the lower court to come up with new language for the description and to start collecting the signatures from scratch — since the court invalidated the 20,000 they had collected thus far. RIP Commerce Tax worked with Americans For Prosperity for weeks to gather signatures. Knecht said he retained some hope that gathering enough signatures would be possible before the June 21 deadline.

If everything goes as hoped, the institution will receive its accreditation in June and stay on course to enroll its first class of M.D. students in the fall of 2017. That’s the same target date set by UNLV’s new School of Medicine, which was established with $27 million in state funding approved by lawmakers in June 2015.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS Roseman’s approach to education, Penn says, is anchored in several core principles: high expectations for student achievement, the adoption of active learning approaches that result in deep learning and content mastery, early exposure to the profession and an emphasis on collaboration in learning and practice. “This model has proven its effectiveness with consistently positive outcomes on licensure examinations and career placements for graduates in pharmacy, nursing and dentistry,” Penn said. Roseman has made research and scholarly activity a core mission — and a major component of its strategic plan. The university hired several researchers after the closure of Nevada Cancer Institute in February 2013. Now part of the College of Medicine, their focus is on cancer, diabetes and obesity, as well as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. “We are fortunate to have exceptional research facilities at the Summerlin Campus ... that will help us grow and sustain medical research in the college and for the university’s other programs,” Penn said. Coffman said she and her colleagues had fielded questions about Roseman’s education model from other institutions — “typically from schools and organizations that embrace innovation and appreciate looking at best practices broadly so as to create a curriculum that is effective for students with varied learning styles.” Several institutions — pharmacy schools, in particular — have adopted all or parts of Roseman’s educational approach, she said. Ultimately, Coffman says, every program Roseman develops is based on community, state and regional health care needs. “As a nonprofit, private institution that is not supported by taxpayer dollars, we are very thoughtful when starting new programs, and a demonstrated need is the first thing we consider,” she said. The university’s size and structure also have allowed it to stay nimble. “Listening, acting and cutting through perceived obstacles, as well as the lack of a cumbersome bureaucracy, have allowed us to quickly respond and act on behalf of our community’s needs,” Coffman said.
