In Their Own Voices with Jumoke Akin-Taylor | Winner of the Diversity & Inclusion Award

Collaboration is at the heart of every design-build project. 

We believe the most successful projects have a diverse group of project owners, builders, architects, engineers and specialty contractors sitting at the table together.

Even so, we recognize that our industry can do much more to promote diversity and inclusion in our workforce. 

“In Their Own Voices” features Jumoke Akin-Taylor, CCM, PMP, DBIA, Project Manager with San Francisco Public Works, speaking about her diversity, equity and inclusion journey and how her work has brought a fresh perspective to the industry.
