Tourism In Volusia County

November 29, 2018 – Enjoy Volusia County when you visit Duvall. Flip through this month’s issue of Evolve, the business publication of the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce to learn more. Duvall Homes is a Daytona Chamber member, and recognizes that what attracts families and guardians to Duvall is not just our residential supportive services and programs, but also the national appeal of the County of Volusia.

Oceanfront beaches, great eateries and ecotourism – from the east side of the county to the west – are just a few options to fill calendars of visiting families and friends all year round. Visit our great beaches; tour various springs and waterways; bike, jog or walk miles of natural and paved trails; select from any type of cuisine you can think of; visit historical landmarks, museums and more.

The best thing of all is that residents of Duvall Homes are fortunate to be able to visit the same attractions that 10 million people come to visit each and every year. (Florida Trend July, 2018.)

Diversity in Business Includes the Developmentally Disabled

May 23, 2018 – Inside this month’s issue of the Daytona Chamber’s business publication, Evolve, readers are presented with defined perspectives and proven business practices with respect to embracing a diverse workforce. As a proud member of the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce since 2011, Duvall Homes is honored to have contributed to its Diversity in Business May 2018 issue to include the people we serve in our community.

In the article How Rich is Your Diversity? (pages 32 to 35) by Lisa Habermehl, Duvall’s Director of Marketing, experiences and values are shared by business leaders in the County of Volusia, and beyond, who engage with, employ and contract people with developmental disabilities.

Decades ago, a diverse workforce meant a workforce with varying ethnicity. Today, a diverse workforce is an inclusive labor pool varied in ethnicity, gender, age and abilities, and diversity in business includes diversity in a businesses’ workforce, leadership team and its customer or client base. Successful businesses that choose to remain current and continue to grow understand the many benefits of business diversity and inclusion.

Duvall Homes in Daytona Regional Chamber’s Business Magazine

March 12, 2018 – Duvall Homes, Inc. joins 190 other organizations in the County of Volusia to celebrate more than 25 years in business as reported by the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce in the February 2018 issue of Evolve Magazine (page 27 – 29). It’s nice to be recognized alongside some of Central Florida’s most prominent companies and professionals in this leading business publication.

Among many other nuggets of information inside this issue of Evolve, J. Powel Brown of Brown & Brown, Inc., stated that one key to success is “being able to see around that corner” and “to anticipate things that may or will occur in all kinds of situations.” Duvall Homes has served people with developmental disabilities since 1945. To anticipate change and satisfy wavering government mandates, all while meeting the needs of residents in our community, is something Duvall has excelled at for 73 years.

To gain insight into the discipline and commitment required to remain in business for decades, during fluctuating markets and challenging times, read the full story Brown & Brown: Building a Forever Company (pg 14 – 16) written by Howard Holley.
