| We were at the Yale Club last night as Professional Women in Construction honored a vital part of our Downtown's rebuilding: the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, recognized for World Trade Center reconstruction efforts and contributions to women and minority-owned businesses . |
| PWC founder Lenore Janis (left) and Phoenix Constructors' William Quinn (top right) with last night's PANYNJ honorees: executive director Christopher Ward, WTC construction director Steve n Plate,Susan Bass Levin, Lash Green, and Lucy Foster. |
| Also recognized (and some repeat faces in here): Ida Perich; Lash,William Foley; Carla Bonacci; Vincent Stellato; Steven; Alan Reiss; Lucy; Quentin Brathwaite; Mark Pagliettini, Robin Murray;Lynda Tollner; and Rob Foreman. |
| STV's John Drygulski, Phoenix Constructors' Jack Gallagher, and Skanska USA's Michael Campana. Jack and Michael are working on the PATH transportation hub at the WTC. They're happy to tell us that excavation is almost complete, and they're ready to award steel packages. |
| How about a package to these women of steel— literally! Global Marine Construction Supply's Yona Jiminez, Catherine DiMarco, and Linda Tromblay, with attendee Elizabeth Silverman, have worked on many structural steel projects, including the Willis Avenue Bridge, Pier 53, the gangway to the USS Intrepid, and the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven, Conn. |
| Port Authority's Laura Shabe, AECOM's Kevin Conway and Kate Coburn, and IBEX Construction's Bill Brody and Lisa Chapman. We hear IBEX is putting the finishing touches on a Nordstrom in Cherry Hill, NJ, which will have its grand opening this week. It's also doing work for Mount Sinai Medical Center. Any PANYNJ connection? Sure, it built the snazzy new JetBlue Terminal 5 at JFK. |
| Louis Berger Group's Kelly Mitchell, Maribel Cabral, Jacqueline Alleyne, and Desiree Fraser flank Total Safety Consulting's William Ayers. Happy birthday to William's wife Jeanette today; although he had to be at this event, he did cook his family a rack of delicious spareribs before he left (his trick: marinating the meat in BBQ sauce for eight hours). We wonder if Jacqueline has time to cook—she has the tough task of WTC records and document management. |
