Alliant Celebrates Women in Construction
March 2 - 8, 2025
Building the Foundation for Future Generations
In honor of National Women in Construction Week™, Alliant is proud to highlight women working in the construction industry who push through boundaries and inspire the people around them.
We sat down with each of these women to learn about their careers, what motivates them, and what advice they have for future generations of women in construction.
"I think there’s much more diversity now than there used to be, but there’s way more opportunity to even improve the level of diversity we have."
Shirley Forer is the Senior Vice President of Construction Risk Management for The Related Companies, LP (Related), a premier owner and developer of real estate with assets across the United States and beyond. More about Shirley.
"Being a woman in construction has been a unique experience for me. Someone opened the door for me way back then. I feel like I'm in a position to give back and do that for others."
Tricia Kagerer serves as the Executive Vice President of Risk Management at Jordan Foster Construction, a prominent company renowned for its civil, multifamily and general contracting projects throughout Texas. More about Tricia
