This “first of its kind” event provided networking and training opportunities to actively seek qualified vendors for MNAA certification. This event served as a direct effort to engage businesses in the BNA Vision, which includes a 1.5 billion dollar expansion.
Program attendees had the opportunity to hear more from Davita Taylor, MNAA’s director of Business Diversity, about the BNA Vision and to learn exactly how they may get involved. “The Airport is proactively launching this initiative to search for SMWBE/MBE businesses who might gain business from the upcoming expansion of Nashville’s airport,” Taylor said. “The event explained to attendees how to do business with the airport and how to prepare for this extraordinary opportunity. We will have more information at the beginning of the New Year, but want to ensure that we are cultivating relationships now.”
At Billion Dollar Network, business owners had a chance to hear directly from MNAA officials and learn more about the airport’s billion-dollar expansion and the opportunities that come with it.
“It was very exciting to partner with MNAA for this opportunity, and it was a truly unique event for small and minority business owners,” explained Jerry Maynard, former Metro Councilman and president of The Maynard Group. “It is vital for us to help small businesses in Nashville grow and expand because they are the economic engine of the city. I see this event as a gateway for small business owners to get involved with the BNA Vision.”
