International Women’s Day – Celebrating Women Across Harmon
International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 and recognizes the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. We recognize all women across Harmon who have made meaningful contributions within our business, and in their families and local communities. We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a few of them to call attention to their success, leadership, and inspiration. Thank you to these women – and all women across our business – for delivering tremendous value and playing a vital role in our success.

Having found something that I really enjoy doing every day, and just knowing that my work has an impact on how people experience shelter, a fundamental need. I’m equally proud of every building I look at that I participated in the process of creating, regardless of my role in it.

Being willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done, whether it is for the department that I work for or another department. It’s always for the greater good.
