Creating the Future is no small task, and yet every day our employee-owners do just that.

See highlights from Engineers Week below.

Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day | February 23rd

Sally Kristen Ride famously said, “If we want scientists and engineers in the future, we should be cultivating the girls as much as the boys”. At Alliant, we know this to be true. Our initiatives and partnerships strive to engage more girls in engineering and its many careers.

Hydraulic engineering designs work best when the public has no idea there’s a drainage system in place. Alliant’s Senior Professional Water Resource Engineers Stephanie Rathburn and Connor Fortune share why it is essential to design for flood prevention. This is especially important as the weather is more unpredictable than ever before. Read their article.

Friday

For our last highlight of Engineers Week, we asked Greta Lewis how she is creating the future with her work.
“I have been fortunate to work on a wide variety of projects, ranging from large-scale residential developments to small commercial redevelopments and expansions. I’m extremely proud of the value my work at Alliant has supplied to communities. I also help create a better future for my fellow employee-owners through my work on Alliant’s Employee Ownership Team. Our work on this committee is focused on helping employee-owners embody an ownership mentality through engagement and education. By helping to educate my colleagues on the benefits of an ESOP, I help Alliant’s employee-owners have a better retirement!”
