Professional Women in Construction Chicago Chapter #DEICandidConvo series recently had an engaging discussion with our members surrounding the range of empathy and flexibility they are seeing in the industry as it relates to DEI initiatives. While recognizing a multitude of benefits to work/life balance, employee retention and satisfaction, we also acknowledge the challenges that business owners and leadership face to ensure flexibility while achieving client deadlines and maintaining profitability. Thank you Callan Consulting Engineers, Inc., JLL and 601W Companies for hosting this meaningful discussion!

Thanks to all who joined us for Professional Women in Construction Chicago Chapter's recent #DEICandidConvo event where we focused on what it means to be an ally to women and BIPOC colleagues in the AEC industry. We discussed the widely varying ways we can show allyship depending on our own perspectives as well as those of the people we are supporting. And though we often have to overcome our own fears in order to be an ally, we can all do the work to create a culture of safety where others also feel empowered to act. Special thanks to Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) for hosting us at their downtown office.
