COVID-19 transformed the AEC workplace as employers and staff adapted quickly to new risks and needs—and now must weigh what changes will stick.

This presentation would touch on some of the common elements that make developing on tribal land unique.

The ability to holistically address issues affecting underserved communities requires multiple partnerships working in concert to turn legislative policy into actionable items. Technological tools using GIS and other proprietary software can identify where and how the design and functionality of transportation, public works, and overall planning systems affect communities. By tracking progress through real quantifiable metrics, technology has the ability to create department and agency accountability with regular reporting requirements and review by city councils and the public to promote meaningful change in communities. This presentation will feature a panel discussion of case studies that utilized technology to foster equity in myriad systems from across the U.S.: transportation, publics works, and urban planning. Discussion focus areas: • How using technology allowed forecasting to provide equitable accessibility to local and regional destinations and provided planners and public works departments the necessary information to identify disparity and improve equity.

The construction industry has high rates of suicide, addiction and overdose, and over the past few years many efforts have taken place to raise awareness and help link people who are suffering to mental health services. While these efforts are helpful, it’s not good enough just to get “troubled workers” to treatment when the workplace environment is filled with psychosocial hazards like prejudice, systemic racism and discrimination. Just giving people coping skills, building resilience and encouraging self-care do not solve these problems. Two themes will be explored on this panel: 1) How do we help ensure our wellbeing efforts meet the needs of a diverse construction workforce? 2) How do we build internal capacity so that construction workers are empowered to make their mental health promotion and suicide prevention efforts tailored to construction culture – so they are “by them, about them, and for them.”
