Today, we pause to remember the events of September 11, 2001—honoring the lives lost, the bravery of first responders, and the resilience of a nation that stood united. We reflect on the courage and compassion that emerged in the face of tragedy, and we continue to keep their memories alive by coming together in remembrance and solidarity. May we continue to cherish each moment, support one another, and stand together in hope and compassion. #NeverForget

Last month, Thalia Andre-Noel had the opportunity to attend the National Association of Women in Construction's 69th Annual Conference. At the conference, she focused on strengthening her relationship with the inspiring women of the NAWIC Houston Chapter. One of the highlights was attending the session titled "We Are Stronger Together, So Why Are We Still Standing In Each Others Way?" where Natasha Ozybko, MBA, shared insights on the collective impact of women working together. Additionally, Thalia had a hands-on experience in a drywall class, learning the art and technique of plastering holes – a skill that will definitely come in handy for patching the holes she creates when hiding her TV wires! She thoroughly enjoyed spending time with familiar faces like Bridget Mickins, Sandy Field, Hillary M., Leslie Atkinson, and Kathleen Reznicek Cernosek. It was also a pleasure making new connections with other attendees La'Portia Lang and Yolanda M. Baber, M.B.S. She's excited about the opportunity to nurture these new relationships moving forward. #NAWIC #WomenInConstruction #BuildingConnections #ProfessionalDevelopment

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a project management technique used to plan, schedule, and control complex projects. It helps in identifying the most important tasks that must be completed on time for the entire project to be finished by its deadline. Purpose and Importance of CPM: CPM is used primarily to plan, schedule, and control project activities in a structured way. The main objective is to identify the sequence of tasks (or activities) that directly impact the project completion date. These tasks form what is known as the "critical path." By focusing on these critical tasks, project managers can ensure that any potential delays are addressed promptly, thereby keeping the project on track.

At McKnight, we believe in giving back to our community and helping to continue education goals as much as possible. Contributing to an initiative that aligns so closely with our values is a privilege!
