Darryl-Lee’s Built to Last presentation will focus on how the construction industry is in an exciting time of disruption and change. She will examine some of the challenges and barriers we face, and will talk about how we can work together at a national, industry, and personal level to create thriving and sustainable communities that support our collective wellbeing and ultimately enhance people’s lives.
