VWEC Founder and CEO VR Small met with Comerica regional external affairs manager Brandon Jones to discuss the type of support the nonprofit offers, but she had to admit because the organization was being pushed out of its space, it may not have the capacity to do everything. To her surprise, Jones pulled out the plans for BusinessHQ and asked if VWEC wanted to be the bank’s community partner. 

“I didn't think we were going to lose our space,” Small said. “I thought that was going to be worked out.
