This week we are introducing Kisha Bausby. She has been an invaluable asset to JE Dunn's team since 1994, contributing significantly to the areas of diversity and inclusion, mentoring/development, small business contracting, project requirements, and national compliance reporting obligations. Her impactful work with diverse construction trade partners not only grants them access but also fosters competitiveness, independence, and success. A standout achievement in Kisha's career is her pivotal role in creating and executing JE Dunn's award-winning Minority Contractor Development Program (MCD) since its inception in 2005. This program has successfully trained and equipped hundreds of minority and women business owners to compete for construction contracts, resulting in over $250 million in contracts awarded to date.

We often tie ourselves in knots over a setback or slowing growth or missed opportunities. This is true for professionals in organizations as it is for business owners. Our mindsets, perspectives, and points of view easily get clouded to the point of despair. By taking a step back to reevaluate, we reward ourselves with the chance to ask the important questions and get back to the original intent.
