BDC Team
Dee Franklin
Executive Director
I am called to lift others, remove barriers, and steward opportunity so that Binghampton flourishes and everyone has the chance to thrive.
Andy Kizzee
Business Hub Director
“My why is to become the support I once needed, helping others access the guidance and opportunities they need to create their own path forward.”
Antwoine Clark
Employee Development Manager
I moved into the neighborhood, got to know my neighbors, and felt called to help create redemptive employment opportunities — neighborhood jobs that help restore dignity.
Breann Forbes
Operations & Engagement Manager
I work for BDC because I believe everyone is made in the image of God and deserves the opportunity to thrive. Through jobs and relationships, I want to help Binghampton residents do more than survive.
Eli Granberry
Maintenance & Operations Coordinator
I'm inspired by the opportunity to help people. Knowing that I can make someone's day a little easier or provide solutions they can rely on is what makes this work so rewarding.
Business Hub Case Manager
Catherine Akridge
I am both commanded and compelled by God to serve. I count it my honor to serve our participants in anyway that makes them feel loved, supported, and held by Jesus to continue their journey.
