Thompson Turner Construction was proud to sponsor SMPS Palmetto Chapter's inspiring Spartanburg panel discussion celebrating the women leaders shaping the A/E/C industry. This event brought together professionals from across the region to share insights on leadership, overcoming challenges, driving organizational change, and finding fulfillment both professionally and personally.

As TTC continues to grow our presence in Spartanburg and across the Upstate, we were honored to support a meaningful conversation centered on leadership, growth, and empowering the next generation of industry professionals. Investing in opportunities like this strengthens both our community and the future of A/E/C leadership.

A special thank you to our representatives Stephanie, Caroline, and Fields for joining the conversation!
