WELCOME
I’d like to personally welcome each of you to the 2015 Virginia DBE Transportation Training Symposium
on behalf of the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Transportation DBE Advisory Committee.
The theme of this year’s symposium is, “Partnerships for DBE Growth: Stronger • Better • Consistent.”
It has been designed to offer DBE firms the opportunity to learn more about the trends and best
practices of the transportation industry, as well as develop new partnerships and further advance existing
partnerships to create contracting opportunities now and in the future.
Throughout the next two days, there will be numerous opportunities to learn about upcoming contract opportunities,
workshops sessions to challenge you, key note speakers to inspire you, and matchmaking sessions to help you get your
foot in the door to build relationships that lead to contracting opportunities.
Throughout this symposium, I ask you to stay engaged, keep us proactive, and help us shape the future of the DBE
Program. My personal respect and thanks goes out to all of you for what you have done and will continue to do to
increase the diversity and eliminate the barriers to the DBE Program in the Transportation Industry through advocacy,
business development, and education.
I’d like to thank the members of the Planning Committee, VDOT Civil Rights team members, and our Sponsors for their
vital role in making this Symposium possible. I also want to thank each of you for attending the DBE Symposium and
supporting the DBE Program. Working together as partners, we can continuously improve the DBE Program and meet
the challenges of our field and excel despite our setbacks. We should be very proud of where we are today and excited
about the possibilities of the future.

Quintin D. Elliott was named Chief Deputy Commissioner of the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) by Gov. Terry McAuliffe in January, 2014. Prior to that, he was the administrator
of VDOT’s Fredericksburg District where he oversaw VDOT’s construction and maintenance on more
than 11,500 miles of state-maintained roads in the 14-county region. He served as acting District
Administrator in VDOT’s Culpeper District for a year and as VDOT’s State Asset Management Division
Administrator from 2002-2007. In that role, he directed the maintenance and inventory of Virginia’s
nearly 58,000 miles of state highways and VDOT’s bridges, tunnels and equipment. He served as
Special Assistant to the Assistant Commissioner for Operations and the Chief Engineer in 2002. Elliott
holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Virginia Military Institute. During his VDOT career,

Devon Henry developed and shaped his business acumen as a graduate of General Electric’s Corporate
Leadership Program. It was from GE that Devon was able to bring a strong sense of branding, technical
aptitude and a “think big” attitude to his small environmental contracting firm, Team Henry Enterprises,
LLC. Devon decided to leave GE to scratch his entrepreneurial itch, by which he founded Team Henry
Enterprises and decided that the most advantageous entry into the environmental market place was
through the acquisition of a 20 year old company named The Silty Lady, Ltd. The Silty Lady specialized
solely in erosion control applications. Devon soon realized that with the available resources, he could
diversify into other scopes of work. As a result, the company expanded its’ services to include
environmental services, wetlands mitigation, demolition, site development, emergency response
services, and road building. The company moved into a Hub Zone Enterprise within his hometown of
Newport News, VA and became a participant of the SBA’s 8(a) program. Devon received his BS in
Biology from Norfolk State University and his MS in Environmental Management from The University of
Maryland. Additionally, Devon received Executive Education certificates from The University of
Richmond, Robbins School of Business and UNC Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler School of Business.
