It’s Public Works Week, and what better way to celebrate than by helping to beautify one of #NYC's major roadways connecting the City's most diverse boroughs! Laland Baptiste is pleased to announce that we have been selected to oversee a tree planting project on the Belt Parkway, as part of the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation's Tree Planting and Ecological Restoration initiative. #PublicWorks #EcologicalRestoration #TreePlanting https://lnkd.in/ew7Ye7jT

Laland Baptiste CEO Schillivia Baptiste, P.E., Assoc. DBIA recently attended the annual MWBE Summit hosted by Professional Women in Construction, New York.

Mothers wear many hats and deserve every award. Wishing all the unwavering and inspiring moms a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! 💜 #MothersDayWeekend #WomenInConstruction

Here’s a little gem from when Schillivia and Robert Baptiste, our CEO and COO, brought their sons to the office for #BringYourChildToWorkDay. It’s safe to say that the boys enjoyed learning about engineering and some of our current projects. Of course they did - their parents are engineers! 👷🏾♂️👷🏾♀️🏗️ #FutureEngineers #WorkplaceLearning #NextGenerationEngineers

👷♀️ Reflecting on Women in Construction Week & Celebrating International Women's Day 👷♀️ This past week, Laland Baptiste was honored not only to celebrate the trailblazing women who have built our future, brick by brick, during Women in Construction Week but also to recognize the global significance of International Women's Day, today. As a minority and women-owned business, we acknowledge the critical importance of diversity and inclusion in fostering innovative and resilient teams across the globe. Women in construction bring unique perspectives, unparalleled dedication, and a steadfast commitment to excellence that propels our industry forward. In conjunction with International Women's Day, we want to highlight the collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity and empowering women inside the construction industry and beyond. At Laland Baptiste, we're committed to creating an environment where women have not only thrived and led but also inspired the next generation of construction professionals and leaders across all sectors. To all the women who have made their mark in construction and every field around the world, we salute you. Your strength, creativity, leadership, and courage are the cornerstones upon which we build a more equitable and progressive future. #WomenInConstruction #WICWeek #WICWeek24 #WomenInConstructionWeek #Empowerment #DiversityInConstruction #WomenEmpowerment #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenInSTEM #LalandBaptiste #InternationalWomensDay2024 #InternationalWomensDay

🌟 February was a whirlwind of activity and engagement for us at Laland Baptiste! As we continue to innovate in the engineering and construction industry, we're excited to share two standout moments from this month that reflect our commitment to both our community and our professional growth. In a heartfelt display of solidarity and awareness, on February 2nd, the Laland Baptiste team donned red attire to commemorate the American Heart Association’s #WearRedDay. This important day shines a spotlight on heart health, and we were proud to join hands in raising awareness about cardiovascular disease prevention. Our team's health and well-being are paramount, and participating in this event reinforced our commitment to supporting each other's health journeys. 🏗️ We believe engagement with our professional community is key to our growth and impact. This month, we had the privilege of attending the ACEC New York's Winter Conference / Infrastructure Policy Networking Reception in Albany. This event was a significant opportunity for us to connect with fellow professionals, discuss the future of infrastructure policy, and explore collaborative avenues that will shape our industry's trajectory. Our team left inspired, informed, and more connected than ever to the pulse of our profession. As March begins, we reflect on a February filled with meaningful engagement, professional development, and community support. These events are just a snapshot of our ongoing journey to excel and contribute positively to both our industry and society. Here's to forging ahead with purpose, passion, and partnership in March and beyond! 🌟🌐 📷: Mike Groll Photography Loring Consulting Engineers, Inc. , AI Engineers, Inc. , COWI , Langan Engineering & Environmental Services, Lu Engineers Julie Harris NCAA CHAMPION, Jared M.
