Micro-SWaM

6 Wheels 2021 Year In Review!

I’ve gotten to do some really cool projects this year, and as 2021 comes to an end, I wanted to share some of the highlights from the past year!

One of the most exciting parts of this year was being included as the accessibility consultant for Baskervill's winning bid to redesign the new Supreme Court of Virginia building.

In November, I also became an ADA Certified Coordinator! An ADA coordinator works with different entities within the government to ensure ADA compliance.

Another awesome moment of the year was when 6 Wheels Consulting became certified as a micro-SWaM this year! The SWaM (the Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned) Business Certification Program helps a variety of business owners access opportunities. It was awesome to be recognized in this way!

I keynoted several events in 2021, including at North Dakota’s Power Up Health Conference, Sentara Healthcare, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, and Virginia Board for People With Disabilities just to name a few. It was great to connect with so many communities!

This year, I also did sensitivity training for the North Dakota court systems. Additionally, I did a lot of programming around hiring people with disabilities with Richmond SHRM, the African American Credit Union, and Coastal Credit Union. These opportunities really allowed me to share the importance of hiring and employing people with disabilities.

6 Wheels has had a great year of making an impact and connecting with some amazing people and organizations, and 2022 is setting up to be a great year already! I have some projects already lined up and can’t wait to see what the year has in store!

I hope everyone has a safe, happy holiday season, and make sure to keep a check on our social media pages to see what we’ll be up to in the new year!

6 Wheels Consulting Is SWaM Certified!

I have some exciting news! After applying a few months ago, 6 Wheels Consulting became SWam Certified this October!

The SWaM (the Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned) Business Certification Program helps a variety of business owners access opportunities. According to SWaM, “the purpose [of the certificate] is to enhance procurement opportunities for SWaM businesses participating in state-funded projects.”

6 Wheels Consulting falls under the small business category and is considered a Micro-SWaM, meaning we have “no more than twenty-five employees and no more than $3 million in average annual revenue over the three-year period prior to certification.”

The SWaM Certification will last until October 2026 and will give 6 Wheels Consulting a leg-up when it comes to getting state contracts and other opportunities and jobs.

I’m grateful that 6 Wheels received SWaM Certification and I can’t wait to pursue new opportunities!
