Congratulations to our YW Board Member, Liz Wambui!
We couldn’t be prouder of our very own Elizabeth Wambui for being named one of the 2024 Outstanding Women in Business by the Worcester Business Journal! From the moment Liz joined the Fontaine Team in 2021, she’s brought passion and purpose to her work by breaking barriers in the construction industry for women, veterans, and people of color while ensuring our workforce truly reflects the communities we serve. Her leadership has been instrumental in the success of The Fontaine Community Foundation, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support local and regional nonprofits, creating real change where it matters most. Liz, your dedication inspires us every day. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! #OutstandingWomenInBusiness #DEI #CommunityImpact https://lnkd.in/dKuScdJH
