2011 Community Map Project
 A Great Marketing Opportunity
GreaterFindlayInc.'s Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Village Profile™ will return to our area to produce ournew 2011 Chamber City/County map and Community Website program.
Village Profile™ has been producing community publications for the Chamber since 2006. The 5,000 maps are on target to print this winter, and will be distributed in and around the Chamber service area to visitors, and individuals or businesses inquiring about relocation.
The Chamber is taking part in the Village Profile™ Mobile Map Publishing Program™, the only one of its kind available to Chambers of Commerce. In addition to the printed version, the map and all advertisements will be online at Village Profile™ Community Profile Network® website (www.villageprofile.com) soon after they are published, and will also link from the Chamber's website.
The community map is interactive, which means it can be wirelessly accessed at www.vpmobile.us via laptop and desktop computers, PDAs, smartphones, web-enabled cellphones and most other mobile devices, and allows users to link directly to advertisers' websites, as well as direct-dial advertisers in real time.
The Village Profile™ Web site garnered over 13 million hits in 2009 and 2,140,912 page views -- nearly 1.7 million of which were unique page views. The vpmobile.us site totaled 6,445,900 hits in 2009. Since 1996, the site has seen over 230,000,000 hits from Internet locales around the world and from all manner of users. This considerable traffic will prove beneficial to the entire GreaterFindlayInc. community.
Businesses interested in taking advantage of these exclusive advertising benefits should call Village Profile™ representative Ann Hatley at the Chamber at 419-422-3313 to reserve ad space now. |

PRO-TEC COATING COMPANY PRESIDENT W. PAUL WORSTELL TO RETIRE;
BRYAN P. VAUGHN NAMED STEEL COATING COMPANY'S NEW PRESIDENT
Worstell will be succeeded as president of PRO-TEC by Bryan P. Vaughn, who most recently served as plant manager of U. S. Steel Canada's Hamilton Works in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. PRO-TEC is a provider of world-class coated flat-rolled steel primarily to the quality-critical automotive industry.
"Under Paul Worstell's steady leadership, PRO-TEC has risen to prominence in the steel-coating industry as well as in the business world, winning the U.S. Department of Commerce's prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2007," said U. S. Steel Senior Vice President-North American Flat-Roll Operations Michael S. Williams, who also serves as U. S. Steel's Senior Management Committee Member for the PRO-TEC joint venture. "Paul has earned a reputation for excellence in both operations and management during his long career with our company. His drive to make our facilities and the products they produce the best they can be will certainly be missed. We wish Paul and his family all the best in his retirement." Worstell, 61, began his career as a management trainee at U. S. Steel's Mon Valley Works - Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pa., in 1970. For the next 26 years, he held increasingly responsible supervisory and management positions at Edgar Thomson Plant as well as Mon Valley Works' finishing facility, Irvin Plant, located in West Mifflin, Pa.
In 1996, Worstell was named general manager of PRO-TEC, and in December 1998, he was appointed to his most recent position of president. A native of Canonsburg, Pa., Worstell holds a bachelor's degree in business economics from Mt. Union College in Alliance, Ohio, and earned a master's degree in business administration from the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio.
Worstell serves on the Board of Trustees of the Ohio Manufacturers' Association, the Ohio Partnership for Excellence, the Blanchard Valley Regional Health Center, Black Swamp Area Council Boy Scouts of America and the University of Findlay College of Business Advisory Board. He has served as a lecturer at the University of Findlay, Mt. Union College and Ohio Northern University on topics of leadership. Worstell also serves as an examiner for the Ohio Partnership for Excellence. Since PRO-TEC's receipt of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) in 2007, Worstell has been a keynote speaker at many MBNQA-related conferences around the United States discussing the topics of leadership and best practices. In his new position, the 52-year-old Vaughnbrings 29 years of well-rounded steelmaking experience to PRO-TEC.
"Bryan is ideally suited to assume the leadership of this important joint venture," said Williams. "His diverse and extensive operations experiences combined with his strong leadership abilities will benefit every associate employed at PRO-TEC."
Vaughn began his U. S. Steel career as a management associate in 1981 at the former Geneva Works in Utah. During a 14-year period, he advanced through increasingly responsible positions at Geneva Works as well as in purchasing at the company's Pittsburgh, Pa., corporate headquarters and casting at Mon Valley Works' Edgar Thomson Plant.
After serving as a research consultant at U. S. Steel's Research and Technology Center near Pittsburgh, Vaughn transferred to Gary Works in Gary, Ind., in 1997 to fill the role of division manager-steel production and casting, south. Three years later, he advanced to the same position for north steel production and casting. In 2003, he was named division manager of sheet products for the facility.
In June 2006, Vaughn returned to the Pittsburgh area to serve as plant manager of Mon Valley Works' Irvin Plant and was responsible for overseeing all rolling and finishing operations at that facility as well as the company's Fairless Plant, a galvanizing plant near Philadelphia. He assumed his most recent position in November 2007 after U. S. Steel completed its acquisition of Canadian steelmaker Stelco Inc. A native of Denver, Co., Vaughn graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in metallurgical engineering. He earned a master's degree in business administration at the University of Utah in 1991. Vaughn and his wife, Sandy, will relocate to the Leipsic area.
