North County Inc. Honors Community Leaders<\/h1>\n

Making a Difference in North St. Louis County<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the organization\u2019s 36th Annual Breakfast celebration, North County Incorporated (NCI) recognized several area leaders for making a significant positive impact in North County.\u00a0 At a sold out event on Friday, May 10, more than 550 business, civic, and community leaders gathered to honor this year\u2019s award recipients.<\/p>\n

Kim Bakker<\/strong> received the prestigious Elmer Belsha Leadership Award.\u00a0 This award is presented annually to an individual who has made a long-term commitment to NCI and North County, and has had a positive impact on the community and\/or public body that they serve.<\/p>\n

Employed by SSM Health Care – St. Louis, Bakker is currently the Network Director of Community Affairs.\u00a0 In her role one serves as a listening post in the community and identifies opportunities to collaborate with other organizations to strengthen the community as a whole.\u00a0 Bakker became a North County Inc. board member in 2007 and joined the Executive Board in 2008.\u00a0 She served as vice chair in 2009 and served as board chair in 2010.\u00a0 During her term as chair, she was instrumental in strategic planning with the organization\u2019s stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Bakker also lends her skills to strengthen the business community by serving in leadership roles for the Greater North County, the Northwest, Maryland Heights and the Clayton Chambers of Commerce. In 2009, Bakker was recognized by the Maryland Heights Chamber with their Volunteer Leadership Award.\u00a0 In 2007, she received the Northwest Chamber\u2019s Person of the Year Award and a NCI Community Development Award.\u00a0 SSM DePaul Health Center is a member of North County Incorporated.<\/p>\n

NCI\u2019s Business Development Awards were presented to those whose efforts have positively affected the economic development and business climate of the North County area.\u00a0 These awards were presented to National Retail Properties, Inc. and World Wide Technology, Inc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 National Retail Properties, Inc.<\/strong> invested more than $9.2 million in order to bring a blighted, distressed property back to life, changing the site completely into a more useful and financially productive retail mix on North Highway 67 in Florissant.\u00a0 National Retail Properties completed the redevelopment project without any type of public incentives.\u00a0 It is estimated that the construction process created 250 union jobs, as well as additional jobs to work in the stores and maintain the center.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 World Wide Technology, Inc<\/strong>. provides technology and supply chain solutions to the commercial, government and telecom sectors. November 2011, they announced their plans for new headquarters, facility upgrades and workforce expansion over the next five years.\u00a0 With the assistance of St. Louis County Economic Council, they developed plans that included both a real estate investment of up to $16 million, $4 million in personal property tax investment.\u00a0 A new 50,000 square foot headquarters building has recently been completed in Maryland Heights, 300 new jobs have been created, including 100 at their new headquarters.<\/p>\n

NCI\u2019s Community Development Awards were presented to those whose efforts positively benefit youth, residents, civic organizations, or others through selfless acts.\u00a0 Citizens for the Advancement of Normandy and the St. Louis County Nuisance Property Clean-Up Initiative were chosen for this award.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 Citizens for the Advancement of Normandy (C.A.N.) <\/strong>began in 2006 when a group of\u00a0\u00a0 like-minded residents began meeting to discuss ways to promote, beautify, educate and preserve the City of Normandy.\u00a0 In their first few years, C.A.N. was instrumental in getting an economic sales tax initiative passed, and for beautifying the intersection of Florissant and Natural Bridge Roads, known as \u201cThe Wedge\u201d.<\/p>\n

St. Louis County Nuisance Property Clean-Up<\/strong> Initiative recognized that vacant and abandoned properties contributed to a myriad of community problems including crime and decreased property values.\u00a0 St. Louis County realized that strong action had to be taken to try and stem those problems in some key communities throughout unincorporated St. Louis County.\u00a0 Many of these commercial and residential properties were located in North County.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, St. Louis County adjusted the demolition code to now allow for demolition of structures that have lost 50 percent of their value as a result of fire and\/or abandonment.\u00a0 Then, they increased the demolition budget from $72,000 to $722,000.\u00a0 The bold initiative kicked-off with the recent demolition of the long-vacant Glasgow Village Shopping Center.\u00a0 By the end of this summer, St. Louis County will demolish four additional fire-charred homes in the Spanish Lake and Glasgow Village areas<\/p>\n

Public Service Awards were presented to outstanding individuals, elected, appointed, or employed by a public body whose long-time service has had a positive impact on the community and\/or public body they serve.\u00a0 George Albin III, Ritenour School District Board Member (retired); St. Louis County Executive Charlie A. Dooley; Dwayne T. James, Councilman, City of Ferguson; and Rosemary Johnson, president of Jennings School District\u2019s Board of Education were this year\u2019s Public Service Award recipients.<\/p>\n

George Albin III\u2019s<\/strong> 24-year career on the Ritenour Board of Education reflects his commitment as a public servant to the children, families and staff in the District.\u00a0 Dr. Albin retired after his 8th term as a board member, of which he served as president for two years and vice president for four years.\u00a0 He is well known to Ritenour third-graders for teaching them about good dental hygiene.\u00a0 During his service, a school for early childhood education, a long-awaited performing arts center, classroom additions, new libraries at two of the schools and safety upgrades at every school were added to the District.\u00a0 These improvements were funded through a $50 million dollar bond issue.\u00a0 Through the years<\/p>\n

St. Louis County Executive Charlie A. Dooley<\/strong> has lived in North County for 50 years.\u00a0 He has served our community for decades.\u00a0 After returning from serving the U.S. Army in the 60\u2019s, he went to work for McDonnell Douglas, after thirty years, he retired and became active in public service.\u00a0 He has had a strong commitment to the growth and development of North County during his 12 year tenure as St. Louis County Executive and his previous 8 years as a member of the St. Louis County Council.<\/p>\n

Since becoming County Executive, he has worked to galvanize interested parties in the development of NorthPark, a 550 acre premier business park, attracting major employer Express Scripts our area\u2019s largest employer with more than 4,000 employees.\u00a0 When the National Archives and Records Administration needed a larger location, he worked to keep them in North County.\u00a0 They have now built a new $112 million dollar center<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dwayne T. James<\/strong> is currently a councilman for the City of Ferguson.\u00a0 James was one of the original creators and planners of the Ferguson Twilight 5K Run.\u00a0 2013 will be the fourth year of this event and over eighteen-hundred people are expected to participate.\u00a0 All funds raised from the race benefit the Emerson Family YMCA and provides youth scholarships for camps.<\/p>\n

In addition to his participation with the Twilight 5K Run, James is also one of the creators and planners for the Ferguson Youth Initiative and the Ferguson Youth Advisory Board.\u00a0 He serves as the City Council representative for the Youth Advisory Board. James also serves as a key figure in creating and maintaining the \u201cLive Well\u201d Ferguson Program.\u00a0 This program serves to encourage citizens to live a healthy and active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Johnson<\/strong> currently serves as board of education president for the Jennings School District.\u00a0 She has continuously served on this Board since 1994 and has held the offices of vice president, secretary and treasurer throughout this time.\u00a0 Johnson\u2019s Board leadership has witnessed the successful passage of 3 multi-million dollar bond issues.\u00a0 Throughout the years, she has also served the school district by volunteering on many committees examining ways to fund education and improve student achievement.<\/p>\n

Johnson is a retired U>S> Army Master Sergeant from Army Reserves.\u00a0 During her time, she received medals for service including the Army Achievement Award, National Defense Service Medal, Army Reserves Commendation Medal, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal and the Command Sergeant Majors Medal.<\/p>\n
