All members of our chapter who are also veterans are encouraged to join the inaugural Veterans Affinity Group meeting. This first mission will bring veterans together to connect, discuss the purpose and direction of the group, and help establish its structure and priorities for the future. Together, we'll continue the legacy of service by building a stronger community within the merit shop construction industry.

Founded in 1959, Bartlett Cocke General Contractors is proud to be a San Antonio-based general contractor with additional regional offices in Austin and Houston. After joining ABC South Texas in 1994, Bartlett Cocke got involved right from the start. Both Darrell White and Randy Pawelek were instrumental, foundational board members. Fast forward to today, Bartlett Cocke is still represented on the board with Regional Manager Mark Hebert in his first year and numerous employees participating in different committees. We are grateful for their longstanding membership and support and look forward to many more years of partnership. After a tour through their beautiful building, we recognized them as our Member of the Month in collaboration with Milwaukee Tool.

We would also like to congratulate Barlett Cocke on the recent Spurs announcement as being one of the latest to join the downtown arena and district project team, expanding local construction and design expertise across the projects.

Our chapter's LOGIC Affinity Group recently gathered at Joeris General Contractors where a panel of three women with different paths shared their stories of how they got started, what advice they’d give to their younger self, and how valuable a support system is to keep each other going. A common theme among the panelists included this piece of advice: Find your tribe.

Army Veteran and current Project Manager Andrea Hughes of Cadence McShane Construction shared “Don’t be afraid to do the right thing and stand up for yourself.” Her past experience includes military logistics/construction and work on federal projects with her present focus on multi-family. Stephanie Alvarado of SpawGlass stumbled into construction, starting off on the admin side. "A title should not sway a person," Alvarado shared. She also added that "The impact you want to make is your call." She is now the Business Development and Diversity Division Coordinator and is excited about what lies ahead. While she shared many good bits of advice, one that stood out was “Have an open dialogue. Don’t be afraid to mingle with competitors.” The third panelist, Karen Fletcher, is a Project Executive for Joeris General Contractors. Fletcher brings close to 20 years of experience, specializing in complex healthcare construction. Karen encouraged the audience to “know your worth.” Moderator and Co-Chair of LOGIC Karin Wasyliw, CPA, CCIFP reiterated that by saying “Those who ask for more, get more.” She and Chair Heather Osborn both share a passion for encouraging women and are thrilled to see so many engaged with this affinity group.

LOGIC continues to be a great community for women in the construction industry, no matter the role they hold.
