Awards

Watts received notification from the US Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) that the firm was nominated as a contender for the 2023 MBDA Siemens Grant. This grant
supports the advancement of diversity, inclusion, and entrepreneurship of small, black-owned businesses, nationwide. We are pleased to announce we were contacted last week that our application was honored as one of the ten companies chosen to receive this grant from Siemens. This grant will help expand the scholarship opportunities for underrepresented students that Watts currently supports and help celebrate and encourage our diversity and inclusion efforts.
