The Birmingham Water Works (BWW) has started the new year with an exciting addition — the newly formed HUB department. This team has been actively engaging with the community, working to attract new vendors and expand business opportunities for BWW. Their efforts aim to build stronger partnerships and ensure a diverse network of suppliers that can contribute to the organization’s growth and efficiency. By hitting the ground running, the HUB department is already making a significant impact in strengthening connections between BWW and local businesses.
Recently, the HUB team, including Dr. Felicia Irby-Thomas and Shayla Townsend, attended the A.G. Gaston Conference, where they connected with prospective vendors. Speaking about the importance of events like these, they emphasized how they provide a platform for businesses to learn about opportunities with BWW and foster economic growth within the community. Through these outreach efforts, the HUB department is not only expanding BWW’s vendor pool but also supporting local entrepreneurs in gaining access to new business ventures.
