Congratulations to our Senior Project Manager and former Executive Vice President, Bob Eby for joining the newest Leadership Tennessee Signature Program Class (Class XI). The cohort will spend 10 months traveling across Tennessee to study the state's challenges and work together to identify the best solutions and opportunities for improvement.

At RadWaste Summit, last week, our Founder, President and CEO, Susana Navarro led a panel, “Small Businesses, Big Missions” alongside some of our senior leaders. Dr. Navarro introduced the company and recounted how Navarro went from niche nuclear safety contractor to prime contractor over the past three decades. Panelists discussed their commitment to client satisfaction and how that leads to successful project outcomes time and time again. They also highlighted the importance of agility, flexibility and responsiveness in managing and executing prime contracts. Navarro has the responsiveness of a small business, with the capabilities of a large business. They also discussed the challenges of maintaining outdated equipment and infrastructure, managing large sample volumes and implementing safety protocols, while emphasizing the importance of overcoming these challenges to maintain smooth operations. Panelists also highlighted the advantages of small business partnerships for employees, including their ability to foster professional growth and the loyalty between the company and its employees. Small businesses allow employees to grow with the company. At a small business, employees can become valuable in more than one role, which leads to a stronger, well-rounded workforce. The panelists advocated for the Department of Energy to open up their larger, more complex projects to small businesses and to acknowledge the efforts of the larger companies that collaborate with the smaller ones. This was an impactful conversation and we want to say thank you to RadWaste and all who attended the panel!

From Kentucky to Minnesota, it sure was a busy week for Navarro! Our president, Susana Navarro and some of our senior leaders [L to R: Susana Navarro, Jeff Carswell, Ray Geimer, Ryan Overton, Connie Flohr] presented at the RadWaste Summit in Louisville, while our Business Development Intern Cole Adams and Marketing Coordinator Alexia Stewart [L to R] represented us at the U.S. Department of Energy, OSDBU's Small Business Forum & Expo in Minneapolis. We had an amazing time connecting with peers and colleagues across the industry at both conferences. One of the best things about our industry is how easily we are able to build and foster relationships and share ideas through these events.

Are you at RadWaste Summit, too?! Join us as we discuss the journey of small businesses from support-service and subcontractor roles to prime contractors, provide updates on current missions and offer perspectives on lessons learned and effective strategies for nurturing small business development.

It was an absolute delight hosting United Way of Anderson, Campbell, Morgan and Scott Counties for their 2024 Annual Meeting! They gave updates on their work throughout the community (nearly $1 million raised!) and pinned the 2024 board members. They also presented tokens of gratitude to exiting board members, including our Executive Vice President, Ryan Overton, who served as board president for the past two years. The impactful work that the United Way does is vital to our community and we take pride in supporting their mission of building strong, equitable communities where everyone can thrive.
