March 19, 2019
No Comments

Birmingham, AL - March 19, 2109 - Command Alkon, the Leading Supplier Collaboration Platform for Construction's Heavy Work, is pleased to announce the "Women Building Amazing" breakout session at the ELEVATE Conference was very well received; cultivating many ideas to advance greater diversity in the construction industry and inspiring further engagement via an upcoming webinar.

At ELEVATE, guest speaker Anne Ellis spoke about her experience as a woman and a mother in the construction industry, as well as the benefits that women and men working together can bring to the work environment. After her presentation, Anne opened the floor up for attendees to voice their opinions, concerns, challenges, and successes. It was an environment where people came together to discuss the current state of women in the industry and express their thoughts for progression and how to propel the industry forward.

"We created a series back in March called 'Women Building Amazing,' which served as a stepping stone in to this conversation for Command Alkon," said Karli Langner, Marketing Communications Specialist at Command Alkon. "I was very pleased with the outcome of the session - it indicates that this is a conversation that is important to our industry, and that there is support from both women and men to break free from stereotypes and promote diversity in the Construction workforce."

Anne Ellis has agreed to join us again in April to continue this conversation. She will be joined by Julie Garbini, Executive Director for the Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) Research & Education Foundation.
