Networking for Construction & Home Services (March Edition)

Are You the CEO or Just the Hardest-Working Employee? Delegating Without Losing Control

Are You the CEO or Just the Hardest-Working Employee? Delegating Without Losing Control

Are you running your business... or is your business running you?

Many construction and home service professionals start as hands-on experts, but growth demands a shift from doing everything yourself to leading, delegating, and building systems that work without constant supervision.

This Construction & Home Services Networking & Learn is an educational and relationship-driven event designed to help business owners step into the CEO role with confidence, without sacrificing quality, control or compliance.

During this session, you’ll gain insight into:

• The difference between being the hardest-working employee and a true business leader
• How to delegate effectively while maintaining accountability and standards
• Common delegation mistakes that keep businesses stuck — and how to avoid them
• How city processes, permits, and certifications impact your ability to scale
• Resources and guidance available through the City of West Palm Beach to support business growth

Speakers:

• Frank Hayden – Director, Office of Equal Opportunity, City of West Palm Beach
• Jon Marchant – License and Permit Supervisor, City of West Palm Beach
• Justin Howard - President & CEO of Black Diamond

You’ll hear from city leaders and an experienced business owner who understand both the operational and regulatory sides of growing a construction or home services company. The conversation is practical, transparent, and focused on real challenges business owners face every day.

In addition to the educational component, the event offers meaningful networking with contractors, service providers, city representatives, and industry professionals who are building smarter, more sustainable businesses.

This educational and networking event is free to attend, thanks to the sponsorship of the City of West Palm Beach, and is organized by Space Connect in collaboration with the City of West Palm Beach.
