By Linda Stein For a college or high school student, an internship can be a gateway to a future career. And for a company those interns can mean vitally important new employees-- especially as more and more members of the Baby Boom generation retire. But internship programs can be much more than that. For example, the programs in place at Main Line Health are close to the heart of Jack Lynch, president and CEO, who views them as a way of giving back to the community. While growing up in Washington, D.C., the son of a doctor, Lynch benefited from several internships. He’d also see other youngsters without his advantages as he drove through the city. Lynch said that he had “a desire to give kids that don’t have as much opportunity to get the same experiences that I had. The difference between those kids and me is opportunity. How can I give them an opportunity?” One way is the Summer Enrichment Program through the Institute of Diversity brings about five summer interns, graduate students, who are focusing on a career in healthcare adminis- tration to Main Line Health hospitals each year. The interns are paid a stipend during the 10-week program and 55 grad students have participated over the last 10 years. Jameyshia Franklin, 31, was one of those SEP interns in 2011 when she was a graduate student at West Chester University. Franklin extended her internship with MLH for a year to work on a project and she was subsequently hired as a hospital administra- tor at Bryn Mawr Hospital. “There was a lot of project management,” said Franklin, a Nor- ristown resident who hails from Chicago. “That’s probably where I first developed my project management skills. It was the first time I led a project without someone coaching and I got to run with my Lindsey Press, Villanova student and two-year intern at own ideas. It was a great experience for me.” Vanguard Group. 8 • Guide to the Main Line 2017/2018 mainlinemedianews.com mainlinemedianews.com Guide to the Main Line 2017/2018 • 9 “meaningful work,” Lynch said. Main Line Health pays Christo Rey toward their tuition, he said. Some 44 Christo Rey student interns have performed various jobs at MLH in the last five years. “It’s an amazing experience,’ Lynch said. “These young folks grow immense- ly.” As freshmen just starting many cannot Interns at United States Liability Insurance. shake hands or look you in the eye, he said.

We would like to applaud all of the commissioners and township staff for all of their hard work that was very evident in the preparation of this request for proposals – Ardmore Transit Traffic Planning and Design, Inc. Center and Business District Revitalization. As evidenced by the recent historical summary chronicling William Penn’s vision for Lower Merion that was recently circulated to your residents, we are extremely fortunate for the many historical influences that have help shape this wonderful community and township. We believe, as responsible stewards that it is critical to respect these past influences and build upon the positive elements that have attracted some many to this area. It is our belief that the revitalization of Ardmore will and should occur in a thoughtful, planned and deliberate manner. This will undoubtedly result from further direction and input from the commissioners, township staff along with the many stakeholders that will be impacted. We have provided some initial thoughts and comments that we hope will form the basis for further dialogue. Initially our plan and vision has focused on the area immediately surrounding the commuter rail station and the pedestrian and vehicular access to and from this area.

  • Macy's, Inc. Outlines Cost Efficiency Initiatives and Lists Store Locations to Be Closed
    January 6, 2016 Macy’s, Inc. Outlines Cost Efficiency Initiatives and Lists Store Locations to Be Closed CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) today announced a series of cost-efficiency and process improvement measures to be implemented beginning in early 2016 that will reduce SG&A expense by approximately $400 million while still investing in growth strategies, particularly in omnichannel capabilities at Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. The actions represent progress toward the company’s previously stated goal of re-attaining over time an EBITDA rate as a percent of sales of 14 percent. (Editor’s Note: Macy’s, Inc. this afternoon also issued a separate news release announcing sales results for the November/December 2015 period and updating guidance.) “In light of our disappointing 2015 sales and earnings performance, we are making adjustments to become more efficient and productive in our operations. Moreover, we believe we can operate more effectively with an organization that is flatter and more agile so we can pursue growth and regain market share in our core Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s omnichannel businesses faster and with more intensity. We will continue to invest in strategic initiatives that anticipate emerging customer needs and create shareholder value,” said Terry J. Lundgren, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc. “The cost efficiencies represent more than two-thirds of our goal of annual SG&A expense reduction of $500 million, net of growth initiatives, from previously planned levels by 2018. In some cases, there will be short-term pain as we tighten our belt and realign our resources.
