In continuation with our quarterly trainings/presentation, I am happy to share our next opportunity. The five phased approach shares our commitment to you and our clients on how we insure diverse business participation on our projects. It also provides transparency for you on our engagement practices and what you should expect from Hensel Phelps, my team especially. Please attend and most importantly provide feedback so that we can continue to get better.

Once again the event will be a little different, it will be a “call in” event again. See below for details. And as always, this event is exclusively for our diverse subs and vendors. We invite you, your organization and your members to join us by phone to take a “look” at what we'll be bidding in the near future. On Tuesday, October 12, 2021 from 8:00AM until 12:00 noon we will have several members of each of our project and bid teams staffing the phones. They will be ready to meet you, and to talk with you about what work we will be putting out to bid in the next several months. Although we would much rather see your smiling face, of course we can do this virtually once again!!!
