Living legacies

Attendees discuss their industry beginnings

They are skilled. Motivated. Passionate. Driven. In an industry where deadlines, budgets and building partnerships are critical, commercial construction professionals are a different and special breed. So, how did they get here? What paths did they take to be the caretakers of what happens in our industry? During our roundtable discussions at our 2019 Commercial Construction & Renovation Retreat, attendees shared their stories on how they entered the industry.

The three-day event, sponsored by Commercial Construction & Renovation magazine, was held Sept. 26-29 at The Hu Hotel in the heart of downtown Memphis. The retreat featured a series of networking events and roundtable discussions designed to bring together thought leaders from the retail, restaurant, hospitality and other commercial sectors. On the following pages is the final installment of our roundtable discussion. You can also read the story online at www.ccr-mag.com.
