Congratulations to Ashley and Matthew on being named City Manager's Excellence award winners for the City of San Antonio's Economic Development Department!

Their recognition comes from leading the SBEDA Salesforce project, which focused on modernizing the tools behind our Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) program. Anyone who's worked in local government knows how much behind-the-scenes effort goes into making programs easier for the businesses and constituents who rely on them, and Ashley and Matthew's work on this project is a great example of that kind of quiet, high-impact contribution.

This project was made possible through our partnership with David Sweet from City of San Antonio's Information Technology Services Department, along with Catalyst Consulting Group, Inc., whose team brings deep expertise in guiding city and state government through technology modernization. Catalyst has been instrumental in helping streamline the SBEDA program's systems, and it's exactly the kind of collaboration that helps our department serve San Antonio's small business community more effectively.

Join us in congratulating Ashley and Matthew on this well-earned recognition, and learn more about the SBEDA program here: https://www.sa.gov/Directory/Departments/EDD/Programs-Grants/Preference/SBEDA
