The Program

Non-profit organizations require profitability to grow and successfully accomplish the organization’s mission. ln addition to necessary financial growth through external efforts, such as donation grants, fundraisers, events and the like, there is another important internal factor, often overlooked, to improve the bottom line: Elimination of non-value added processes or, non-value added steps within a process.

lnternal operational processes that are outdated, costly and inefficient cause unnecessary expenses to the bottom line. Non-value added processes often exist because “that’s the way we’ve always done it” and long-term assumptions haven’t been reviewed or challenged. All processes may not need changed; however, identification, elimination or reduction of non-value added activities or processes impact the bottom line. Cost reduction through elimination of inefficient processes also results in quality improvement, improved customer service, positive cultural change and higher employee morale.

ChuckLohreEarth Day, Earth Day Coalition, Greater Cincinnati Earth Coalition

There are some lingering misconceptions surrounding Earth Day Cincinnati, which takes place Saturday, April 18 from noon to 5 p.m.

“It’s not just a bunch of hippies running around, though there are some,” said Lauren Beatty, public relations chair for the Greater Cincinnati Earth Coalition. “We get mostly families who come out for a great day of outward enjoyment and learning. We have real food. It’s not all twigs and berries.”

ChuckLohreLEED Platinum Home/Office Project

There’s a good chance you might miss marketing communications agency Lohre & Associates’ Over-the-Rhine office the first time you pass it.

The rugged, three-story brick row house could easily be mistaken for another trendy rehabbed residence primed for Cincinnati urbanites.

What’s inside, though, is the environmental brainchild of the agency’s president, Chuck Lohre. It’s just one of the green building projects that meld his architectural background with a genuine fascination with sustainability.

What’s exceptional about Lohre’s office, however, is that he only spent around $9,500 on the overhaul – including the $3,000 LEED certification fee. The bulk of the project, he said, was eased simply by “knowing how LEED works and enjoying the process.”
