Resources like the Strong Foundations Program help project owners engage prospective bidders. The program can be an asset to those who are starting a new business or looking to grow in a sustainable way.

 

– Lake Michigan Credit Union, Construction Ally

The Strong Foundations Program has been pivotal for me and my business. As a minority female, it has strategically placed me in a position to scale my business and put me in front of partners I may not have been connected with otherwise.

We believe that the trajectory created by the Construction Allies in Action powering new vendor development and education is critical toward ensuring a deeper contractor pool is available to support the region’s growth. Like-minded organizations will find a win-win partnership that not only accomplishes this mission but helps deliver on the promise of creating a more equitable and prosperous future for the community at large.

 

– Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Construction Ally

The Strong Foundations Program has been of immense benefit to our company. The industry-specific courses and workshops helped us to define our role and requirements as a firm, and the mentorship program continues to be a source of profound support and wisdom.
