The March of Dimes' cause to end preventable maternal health risks and death, end preterm birth, and close the health equity gap for every family intersects with WTS’ mission of the global advancement of women and minorities. Today, as we attend their annual Transportation, Building, & Construction (TB&C) Award Luncheon, we are showing our support by donating to and volunteering with them. We are also taking it a step further and collecting/donating 45 packages for parents of children in the NICU via a Community NICU Baby Shower, held in conjunction with the MOD in November. To join in on that effort, click here: https://lnkd.in/eZxbxs-E Congratulations to all award recipients and thank you to the MOD for their support of women and families! #AdvancingWomen #AdvancingTransportation #MarchofDimes #MOD #MODPhilly #WTSPhilly45in45

Today, we were proud to participate in the City of Philadelphia’s Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week event at the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)’s Business Opportunity Forum! The 40th annual Philadelphia MED Week provided minority business owners with connections and resources to help them grow. This year’s theme was “Investing in the Future: 40 Years of Helping Minority Businesses Lead the Way.” As an organization dedicated to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable transportation industry, we support M/W/DBE businesses with meaningful networking events, mentoring programs, panel discussions, as well as investing in future business owners with academic scholarships! #AdvancingWomen #AdvancingTransportation #WTSPhilly45in45

William Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name, would smell just as sweet.” Your pronouns are as unique as your fingerprints and as important as your name, they represent who you are and assist in understanding and distinguishing people. Depending on your familiarity with using different pronouns it may feel confusing or hard to know where to begin. Join us for this virtual session to learn about the basics of pronoun use, how to respectfully ask someone their pronouns, best practices, and how to be a supportive ally. https://lnkd.in/e_xNdPTT #AdvancingWomen #AdvancingTransportation #pronouns Carol C.
