New Look, Same Commitment to MWBE

We’re excited to share the new New York State MWBE Certified Decal!

As a New York State certified MWBE, Watts is excited to add this official recognition to our website, social media, and marketing materials. The decal makes it easier for clients and partners to identify certified businesses and helps increase visibility with organizations looking to work with diverse firms.

For us, it’s another way to highlight who we are, the services we provide, and the opportunities we’re ready to take on across New York State.

Keep an eye out for the new NYS MWBE Certified decal on Watts materials!

A little mist and a lot of laughs!

In July, a few of the ladies from Watts took a trip to Niagara Falls to experience the iconic Maid of the Mist.

A special thank you to Paige's dad, Brent, for making the day extra memorable with the VIP treatment, including a ride on the Baby Maid of the Mist and to Donna, a retired Watts employee, who joined us for the fun! It was an unforgettable experience and a wonderful opportunity to spend time together outside the office.

Moments like these remind us that the connections we build at Watts extend far beyond the workplace. We're already looking forward to the next adventure!

Did you miss National Gummi Worm Day? Our Buffalo office didn’t! 🐛🎉

On July 15th, our team celebrated in the sweetest way possible, with a break room treat featuring everyone’s favorite chewy candy: gummi worms! Employees were invited to grab a handful, enjoy a little mid-day pick-me-up, and celebrate the fun holiday together.

Did you know?

1. Gummi worms were first introduced in the United States by Trolli in the 1980s.

2. In 2014, a Guinness World Record was set for the longest gummy worm chain, measuring 5,332 feet!

3. The world’s largest gummy worm weighed 26 pounds and measured over two feet long - so big it took two people to lift!

A special thank you to Amanda, Watts' Administrative Assistant, for putting together this sweet treat, and to our Buffalo team for helping make the day a little sweeter! 😊

🎉Employee Spotlight!

Congratulations to Watts team members Tim Major, PE, and Brad Sendlak, PE on successfully completing the ACEC New York Leadership Institute program!

The Leadership Institute is designed to develop the next generation of engineering leaders by strengthening skills in communication, active listening, conflict resolution, and creating a positive leadership culture.

Reflecting on the experience, Tim shared: "The program helped me better understand my own personality type, as well as the personalities of others. I came away with practical tips and strategies for communicating and working with different people in a more productive and successful way."

We're proud to support the professional growth of our team and congratulate Tim and Brad on this accomplishment. Their commitment to continuous learning strengthens both our organization and the clients and communities we serve.

🎉Employee Spotlight!

We're proud to celebrate Jessica Henschel on graduating from the University at Buffalo's Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) Core Program this June!

Since September 2025, Jessie has participated in this 10-month leadership development program, joining business owners and leaders from across Western New York for weekly sessions focused on strategic growth, financial acumen, and building stronger, more sustainable organizations.

Jessie had many key takeaways and truly enjoyed participating in the program. One of her favorite parts of the process was that people from all different backgrounds and companies were able to come together and help problem solve through shared group intelligence processes and create connections with like-minded individuals from all over Buffalo.

Congratulations, Jessie, on this outstanding accomplishment! We're excited to see how you'll continue to apply these insights and help drive our team forward.
