Construction Inclusion Week (CIW) is October 14-18. APAC-Mississippi/Tennessee is proud to be part of the 2024 program uniting an expansive network of industry professionals around a shared commitment to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

It’s easy to understand why inclusion is important. Everyone wants to feel like they belong, especially at work. We all want to be on a team where every member’s unique skills are valued.
