2024 Women in Construction: Maureen Rystrom, J. Calnan & Associates

 

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? My tenure as president of CoreNet Global New England Chapter stands out as my most notable professional achievement this past year. As my term draws to a close on April 1^st, reflecting on our accomplishments and “doing well by doing good” mantra fills me with pride. During this time, we organized over 70 educational programs and events, expanded our membership and sponsorship base, facilitated two exclusive professional development programs, and launched mentorship and ambassador initiatives. Additionally, we successfully raised nearly $20,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston. 

Moreover, our investment in new technology and upcoming sponsorship offerings underscores our commitment to innovation and growth. As I transition to the Advisory Council, I look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of the Chapter. Beyond the tangible achievements, the relationships and friendships cultivated during my tenure are invaluable. The support and guidance of fellow members, Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Advisory Council along with my colleagues at JC&A have contributed significantly to my personal and professional development. This sense of gratitude runs deep and fuels my dedication as a steadfast advocate for CoreNet Global New England.

As I look ahead, I’m filled with optimism about the limitless potential of CoreNet Global New England and its members. Together, we can continue to achieve greatness, knowing that our collective efforts not only propel us forward professionally but also make a positive impact in our community.
