Insightful Collaborative and Sterling Bay have partnered together for an upcoming panel discussion in Chicago focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the construction industry. and we are seeking sponsors to help with overhead costs.

The construction industry has long been dominated by men, but recent years have seen a significant push towards greater DEI. Our initiatives aim to create an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, race, or background, can thrive. This effort is particularly critical for women in construction, who still face unique challenges and stereotypes.

Sterling Bay leading by our advisory council, Steph Smothers, has graciously agreed to donate space and offer tours for this event, showcasing a commitment to fostering a more inclusive and supportive industry. However, to make this event a success, we need your support.

The panel discussion will be a platform for sharing stories, discussing best practices, and exploring innovative solutions to advance DEI in our industry. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your organization's commitment to DEI and help drive positive change within the construction sector.

On May 2nd at the CBRE Atlanta office from 6:00 PM onwards, the 'Women Speak of Power' panel brought together accomplished women from diverse fields to share their journeys, challenges, and triumphs on the path to success. Organized by Insightful Collaborative, the insightful discussion promised to transcend boundaries and celebrate strength, unity, and the limitless potential that emerged when women came together to share their wisdom and empower one another.
