Check out this interview by ForConstructionPros with ACI's own Dr. Maria Juenger, ACI Vice President. ?? "I have seen in 2024-2025 a greater emphasis on embracing women in the industry, especially through efforts from groups like Women in ACI and the Women in Concrete Panel at the ACI Fall convention in Philadelphia. This panel provided a forum for open discussion of obstacles women encounter in the industry and how to overcome them. It was really encouraging to hear the stories from the panel and the support and advice they gave the participants. I hope we see more of these types of events moving forward, and I hope we can broaden it beyond just women and can support more people from underrepresented groups." ??Read the Full Article Here: https://lnkd.in/gWgbF8pZ
