Customer Magnetism (CM) is a full-service digital marketing agency based out of Virginia Beach. Founded in 2000, the company has continuously

grown over the past 14 years into a fun, hard-working, and passionate team. Everyone at CM has one common goal: the clients’ success. It takes a lot of hard work to stay at the top of their industry, which makes the ambition and creative energy fueling each of their team members crucial to their own success. Their staff is consistently researching, learning, and coming up with creative approaches and ideas—not to mention staying on top of the ever-changing landscape of digital marketing—to provide their clients with totally specialized online marketing campaigns. Customer Magnetism is a place where employees want to come to work every day because they have found the right balance of working hard and having fun. The offi ce itself is designed to foster creativity and communication, where employees roll their chairs around the offi ce to chat and brainstorm. To keep at the top of their game, the whole team meets weekly to smear some bagels with cream cheese before a weekly training session and group discussion. It also helps that the executive team sets a laid-back example, whether by sporting shorts in the dead of winter, or ending the day with a friendly-yet-competitive game of Kan Jam. One of Customer Magnetism’s core values is toappreciate employees and reward them for their hard work. Every month they set aside time to get out of the offi ce and have a little fun. Whether it’s bowling, watching a movie, a pumpkin carving contest, or an all-out corn

hole tournament– all rules are thrown out the window. One employee commented, “While the goal is to get our minds off work, next thing you know, we’re collectively brainstorming a big idea for a client because you know what they say about all work and no play.” If you ask any one of the employees, they’ll tell you it’s fun to work at Customer Magnetism with comments such as: “We love what we do.” At a recent holiday party, the executive staff began to refl ect on 2013 and then asked what the rest of the team thought of this year at CM. Nearly every employee spoke up to say that out of all the places they have ever worked, CM is the best place they have ever worked. Walking into work isn’t the same as walking into any other “job” – it’s walking into a place where you’re ready for the day and excited for thechallenges and projects that come your way.

In 1994, a year of public college tuition in Virginia averaged $2,500; today, the cost is $6,800, a 171 percent increase. Fortunately for Virginia families, in 1994 the Gen-eral Assembly created the Virginia529 College Savings Plan to help families prepay college tuition. 529 plans are state-sponsored, federal and state tax-ad-vantaged programs which help people save for their future higher education expenses. In the 20 years since opening, Virginia529 has added three college savings programs and a scholarship program to its lineup. With more than $47 billion in assets under man-agement and 2.3 million accounts, Virginia529 is the largest plan nationwide. That rank mirrors the agency’s mission to be a nationalleader in tax-advantaged college savings programs and to provide fl exible and affordable options to families inVirginia and beyond. Virginia529’s size and reputation are helpful in advocat-ing for state and federal legislative and governance issues re-lating to the 529 industry. The Virginia529 team is an active member of the College Savings Plans Network and the Col-lege Savings Foundation, of which Virginia529 CEO Mary Morris was recently elected chair. Located just outside Richmond in North Chesterfi eld, Virginia529 is a growing employer with more than 85 dedi-cated and diverse employees. “We recognize the need to remain competitive by at-tracting and retaining qualifi ed employees,” explains HR director Debbie Allan. “As an independent state agency we can offer the best of both worlds: comprehensive benefi ts from the state plus additional advantages more often seen in private industry employment.” State benefi ts include fl exible and affordable health in-surance packages, long- and short-term disability coverage and paid time off with annual, sick, and personal leave op-tions. Employees also enjoy a defi ned benefi t pension pro-gram and an optional deferred compensation plan.

To encourage and reward employees for personally saving for higher education, the agency provides a dollar-for-dollar annual match up to $529 for contributions to the employee’s Virginia529 accounts. Employees may use the match towards their own educational needs or to benefi t a loved one. Virginia529’s active presence in the community offers employees a change of pace from serving customers at the offi ce or via phone. Venues range from sporting events to children’s festivals to PTA meetings. Morris sums up the relationship between Virginia 529’s business and its employee satisfaction goals: “Saving for college is a long-term, emotional and, at times, complex process. As a fi nancial services provider with regulatory and investment responsibilities, we depend on our employ-ees knowing all aspects of the 529 business so that we can keep our customers informed and offer them the best 529 options – and we want to offer the best employment situa-tion possible to our team.” To learn more about Virginia529, its programs and its employment opportunities, visit Virginia529.com.

The Secret is OutWhy work at Divaris Real Estate? Ask any of the 30+

employees who’ve worked here for over a decade, or any of the eight who’ll celebrate 20 years with DRE in 2014. How does a company retain a loyal staff? Some stay for the entrepreneurial spirit fueling the eight regional offi ces. Many appreciate the variety of work in a full-service company. DRE leases, manages and sells all types of commercial real estate – from shopping centers, regional malls, offi ce/ industrial build-ings, to mixed-use new developments. In fact, since The Town Center of Virginia Beach ground-breaking in 2000, Divaris’ headquarters have had a front row seat to watch 17-city blocks rise from raw land. Leased and managed by Divaris, the iconic, city redefi ning Town Center brings thousands of offi ce tenants with whom to network; shops to browse; and restaurants for summer patio happy hours and DRE’s annual Christmas lunch. The high retention rate may result from the open-door policy of CEO, Gerald Divaris; President, Michael Divaris; and COO, Sandy Cohen. Each is available to answer questions and to listen to suggestions from any DRE associate. Maybe it’s the comprehensive benefi ts package keeping so many devoted? The training of young leasing/sales associates? Annual recognition awards? Support of volunteerism? Pride in the highest percent of women agents and department heads? Accustomed to the latest industry technology? Certainly.

But ultimately… it is because of ‘cake day’! Let’s be honest. The last Thursday of every month, accountant Andy McClaskey bakes unbelievably moist cakes to celebrate associates’ birthdays and company anniversaries. That’s defi nitely it!!

Birth is a beginningAnd death a destination.And life is a journey:From childhood to maturityAnd youth to age;From innocence to awarenessAnd ignorance to knowing;From foolishness to discretionAnd then perhaps to wisdom;From weakness to strengthOr strength to weakness –And, often back again;From health to sicknessAnd back, we pray, to health again;From offense to forgiveness,From loneliness to love,From joy to gratitude,From pain to compassion,And grief to understanding –From fear to faith;From defeat to defeat to defeat –Until, looking backward or ahead,We see that victory liesNot at some high place along the way,But in having made the journey, stage by stage,A sacred pilgrimage.Birth is a beginningAnd death a destinationBut life is a journey,A sacred pilgrimage –

- by Rabbi Alvin Fine.

SimVentions believes that all too often corporate Americaforgets the truth contained in this poem – that life is a journey and not a destination – that the destination of a company’s employee is not the company itself! In 1855, Reverend John Cumming put it this way: All life is a journey, not a home; it is a road, not the country; and those transient enjoyments which you have in this life, lawful in their way, – those in-cidental and evanescent pleasures which you may sip, – are not home; they are little inns only upon the road-side of life, where you are refreshed for a moment, that you may take again the pilgrim-staff and journey on, seeking what is still before you – the rest that remaineth for the people of God.

Why SimVentions: SimVentions is a company that under-stands that life is a journey – and their desire is to partner with their employees, their customers and their community –to come alongside them as they walk life’s road…to be one of those ‘little inns upon the roadside of life where you are restored and refreshed.’ This desire is represented in their company motto: “Your Success Is Our Honor™.”

Location: SimVentions corporate headquarters is located in Fredericksburg, VA. In addition they have an offi ce in Dahlgren,VA, and personnel in Florida, North Carolina, California and various ‘Theaters.’

Customers: They support the DoD and related organizations, striving to constantly remember that the ultimate customer for their work is the warfi ghter.

Solutions & Services: SimVentions provides solutions and services in three main areas – Engineering (which includes systems, software, security and modeling & simulation), Acquisition & Program Management, and Training. Theircompany’s activities range from providing engineering solutionsto current challenges of the day in areas such as Anti-Terrorism, Force Protection, Weapons & Combat Systems Engineering, Information Assurance, and Electronic Warfare – to – developing specialized software applications and visu-alization capabilities – to – providing professional education and training to their employees, customers and community.

“SimVentions is honored to be named to Virginia’s Fantastic 50 list, and consider it a true blessing.” SimVentions, CEO Larry Root. “We try to live out this truth: that where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. So, I am always amazed, and consider it a blessing, when recognitions such as this are received.” You can fi nd out more about SimVentions at www.simventions.com.

The Generous

Virginians Project

For 160 years, the YMCA of Greater Richmond has served as a resource center, committed to strengthening the foundations of community.

However, in the quest to shed its ‘gym and swim’ image, the Y is making a more concentrated effort to address the growing needs of the community through its programs and services. This effort is refl ected in the Y’s new 2025 Strategic Plan, an initiative that stems from direct engage-ment with over 700 community leaders.

While the plan stays true to the Y’s key focus areas of youth development, healthy living and social responsibil-ity, it also helps connect, educate and inspire individuals throughout the community. The plan is outlined in fi ve key objectives: reach more youth during Out of School time; increase learning opportunities for teens; reduce obesity among youth and adults; reduce the occurrence of diabetes in adults; and be inclusive and accessible to people and neighborhoods across Central Virginia.

The strategic plan is already proving to be on the lead-ing edge of addressing Greater Richmond’s most pressing needs. A recent Gallup poll, named Richmond as the third “most obese major U.S. community.” Under its focusof healthy living, the Y aims to reduce obesity among youth and adults. The Y also strives to double theparticipation in wellness programs and activities and

ensure that participants in our Out of School time programs have 30 minutes of physical activity daily.

“This community is evolving, and if the Y is to stayrelevant, we need to keep up with those changing needs,” said Tim Joyce, President and CEO for the YMCA of Greater Richmond. “The 2025 Strategic Plan is a living, dynamic document that will serve as our compass forprograms and services for the youth, teens and families we serve.”

It’s not just YMCA leadership touting the benefi ts ofliving a healthy lifestyle. In April, more than 8,000individuals attended the 5th annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day® and Walk, a free community event aimed atinspiring kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Theevent is held in partnership with Bon Secours. At the Northside Family YMCA site, participants were visited by Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffi n III. While on stage, Griffi n touted the benefi ts of exercise, eating healthy and believing in their dreams.

Joyce said he is aware that the success of the strategicplan is dependent on collaboration with like-mindedcommunity leaders and individuals. “We approach this work aware that its success is dependent upon organizations, municipalities and individuals alike who believe, as we do, that this community can be one of the greatest, most life changing places to live.”
