National Women in Construction Week
In honor of National Women in Construction Week, March 5-11, 2023, Alliant is proud to highlight women working in the construction industry: women who push through boundaries and inspire the people around them.
To understand what motivates and drives them, Alliant asked them a series of questions and received very inspirational answers.
