What a month it's been! We’re still feeling energized after an incredible few weeks celebrating women in the construction industry — highlighted by our 2025 AECOM Construction Management Women in Construction Summit in Dallas, TX. Throughout the summit, we had the privilege of hearing from inspiring women across the country, sharing their career journeys, personal stories, and hopes for the future of women in construction. A special thank you to Lara Poloni, President of AECOM, for joining us and offering her leadership perspective and career insights that resonated with so many of us. From professional and personal development programming to team-building activities and networking opportunities, the summit provided invaluable tools for growth—because knowing yourself better not only shapes your career but strengthens your personal life too. Most importantly, we walked away with new connections, fresh ideas, and a renewed commitment to empowering women across every project site, office, and community we serve. Here’s to keeping the momentum going, driving an even stronger, more inclusive industry—and feeling empowered to ACCERLERATE ACTION!? #WomenInConstruction #AECOMHunt #AECOMTishman #WIC2025 #TrailblazingWomen #ConstructionLeadership #AECOM ?#WomensHistoryMonth #WHM2025
