As the FWC focuses on retaining and growing local companies, its volunteers are invaluable. Sonalie Barr, TDIndustries Business Development Manager and valued member of FWC's Business Retention and Expansion Committee, recently connected with a local company, delving into a conversation about current business challenges. This particular company was actively seeking minority-owned subcontractors.
