Greater Bethesda Chamber Of Commerce: Black History Month Spotlight: Brandan Stuckey

Press release from the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce:

2/25/2022

February is Black History Month.  While The Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce celebrates all our members throughout the year, this month we are shinning a spotlight on our members within the African American community.  Join us all month long for our 2nd annual spotlight series.  This special feature helps our communities learn a little more about some of their business leaders who work so hard to make it a community to be proud of. ​Today, we would like you to get to know Brandan Stuckey of Bethesda Transportation Solutions. Brandan moved from Birmingham, Alabama in December 2019 to join Bethesda Transportation Solutions (BTS)/Bethesda Urban Partnership (BUP) to help meet the transportation demands set by MCDOT.  He took on the role as Marketing & Outreach Manager in order to provide transit options for businesses in downtown Bethesda and reduce the single occupancy vehicle rate into the area. BTS is a FREE resource available to commuters and employers in Bethesda's business district who are looking for "another way" to get to work. Their goals are to manage traffic congestion, support alternatives to driving alone, reduce air & noise pollution and promote bicycle & pedestrian access.  In addition to his BTS responsibilities Brandan also sits on the Board of Directors of the GBCC, 2021-2022 class of emerging leaders of Leadership Montgomery, member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity, certified drone pilot, member of the Chesapeake chapter of ACT, and proud husband and father. We asked Brandan three important questions.  Read his responses below. Q1. What are some challenges you faced early on that helped prepare you for the role you are in today and how did you overcome them? Q2. Who/What is your biggest inspiration in both your personal and professional life? Q3. What is your biggest piece of advice to businesses struggling with diversity and inclusivity in the workplace?
