There are many dedicated workers in the construction industry that are responsible for building quality long-lasting structures for many sectors, including residential, commercial, hospitality and healthcare. In particular, Stone World would like to begin highlighting some of those devoted employees in the stone industry. Cortney Boswell, project manager for Chicago-based GI Stone, recently spoke about her role in the construction industry, and more specifically, shared her experiences of being a woman in a male-dominated profession.

Women in Stone will host a discussion panel on Wednesday, November 11 at 11:00am ET to discuss topics important to women in the industry.

The Board of Directors and the Strategic Council of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) are honoring Carole Wedge, FAIA, with the 2020 Edward C. Kemper Award.
