“Be persistent.”

“You need to be very specific (with a customer agreement). It has to be very precise.”
 
“There are a lot of nuances when it comes to subcontracting work.”
 
These are just a few of the gems that came out of yesterday’s Built By Her: Women in Construction Experience event at 311MLK. From the start of the program – entrepreneur introductions and networking – to the sage words, inside scoop on government contracting, and what women and men in construction should do over the next 30 days, the event was full of insight that, quite frankly, can be used in any industry.
 
It truly was an awesome gathering! Shout-out to everyone in our community that showed up, showed out and shared their knowledge!
