Update on WBENC's Natoinal Conference and Business Fair from Greater Women's Business Council (GWBC)


Traci Williams, CEO, Crescent Construction Services, LLC

Crescent Construction Services, LLC was certified as a WBE in July, 2007.  We attended our first WIB conference last year in San Francisco and won a "power lunch" auction with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.  Through the hard work of Theresa Barrera, Vice-President of Supplier Diversity, and her staff, we coordinated our lunch meeting with Patrick Hamilton, Vice-President of Construction later that year in November.

 

Our company had already become a supplier of Wal-Mart through our WBENC certification, but winning the power lunch auction gave us the opportunity to present new services from our company to several key decision makers that were value add. 

 

Realizing the “Women In Business” conference was such a valuable tool for Crescent, we decided to elevate our support and participate as an exhibitor at this year's conference and look forward to gaining more exposure for our company to major corporations and other WBEs.
