We're excited to be at the Idaho Associated General Contractors event tomorrow! Tough Leaf’s Abigayle Curtis, MBA is delivering an eye-opening presentation on the challenges facing DBE participation in ITD projects. The numbers tell the story: ITD set a 10% DBE participation goal, but achieved only 6.4% with just seven certified DBE firms receiving contracts over a five-year period. Abigayle will be breaking down these challenges and sharing how Tough Leaf's technology is helping contractors, owners, and associations meet their DBE goals through better engagement and data-driven decisions.

The Women Who Helped Build Tough Leaf 💪 Today we're celebrating the incredible women who bring their talents to Tough Leaf every day! This amazing team doesn't just show up - they elevate our work, challenge our thinking, and make our company better. One of the things we're most proud of? Partnering with and supporting women and minority-owned businesses in construction. We know this industry hasn't always been the most welcoming space, but that's changing - and we're committed to being part of that change. To our Tough Leaf women (the awesome crew in this photo): thanks for your brilliance, your hustle, and for proving that construction is absolutely women's work too. Here's to building better - together!

Last night Tough Leaf hosted a Women in Construction event with Contech Alliance and we're really floored with the attendance, the conversations, the PANEL (brava for that one, so fun and insightful), the interactive activities... it was one we're very proud to have been apart of. There's a lot of important conversations happening in construction right now, but at the end of the day, this industry is a big part of what builds this world, and we full heartedly believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table. Huge thanks to Lisa Kelly, Val Tzvetkov, Dareen Salama, Amar Brahmbhatt, Wissam Akra and Danielle Naven for all the support and ideas for this event. Standing ovation to our standout panel speakers - you all did an incredible job - Tanya Pope, MPA, Dr. Nneka Bell, Gabriela Puno, Sue Bayat, PE And lastly, our sponsors for helping make last night possible - Heartland, Skanska, OpenSpace, Anchin Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said - "Women belong in all the places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception." So thank you to all the women, and men, that showed up, supported the cause and gave us all the space to share our experiences. #wic #internationalwomensday #construction #contech
