The Alliance for Action has two more events on the calendar the following week.
On June 11, the organization hosts NJ Department of Transportation Commissioner Priya Jain at its Inside Scoop series — a program that puts key government decision-makers in front of the Alliance’s membership for a direct conversation about policy, projects, and priorities.
On June 12, the Alliance holds its 6th Annual Salute to Women in Construction, an event that has become one of the organization’s signature programs highlighting the growing role of women across the building trades and construction industry.
