Framing that delivered an all-round vision within tight timeframes. When this distinctive circular designed school required completion for the start of the academic year, light gauge steel framing made from TRUECORE® steel delivered. Prefabricated and then assembled on site, impressively large roof truss and frame modules were craned to height, then safely and eciently installed into their elevated positions. The end result is a state-of-the-art learning space designed in the round and produced on time.

“You walked into that club and it smelled like show business” – Jerry Seinfeld In this issue, we feature and celebrate 2021's Rising Stars. They are our industry colleagues under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves technically, led teams, delivered great projects, and given back to their professions and communities. All were nominated by the firms in which they work. Please take a few minutes to read their amazing stories. Catch a Rising Star (CaRS) was one of the first comedy clubs in New York City. Founded in 1972 by Rick Newman, it launched the careers of an astounding number of comics. Many turned into stars and then exploded into supernova – including Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Elayne Boozler, Chris Rock – and Jerry Seinfeld. The early history of CaRS is a case study in creating and nurturing talent. 1. Be a place that is of its time. CaRS vibrated on a different frequency. It ran one continuous show that lasted late into the night. And in the words of Newman “You weren’t watching your father’s comedians on the Ed Sullivan Show.” The club spoke to a new generation. Does your firm do the same? Are you maximizing the potential of technology? Do you offer contemporary benefits like flexible work options, parental leave, and wellness benefits? Does your firm “give back” and do you encourage your staff to do the same? 2. Offer opportunities to try new material. Mondays – the slowest day of the week at CaRS - became Audition Night. Up and comers performed their sets during the week. It was a safe place to try new material and learn from a live audience. Are you offering your team similar opportunities to innovate and learn? 3. Coach and Mentor. David Brenner was an established comic when he walked through CaRS’s door in 1972. He gave the club legitimacy and star power. He was also generous with his time. Brenner coached up the comics who were going to perform on The Tonight Show for the first time. And he and other veteran comics held late night ses- sions with the younger talent where career advice, lessons learned, and war stories were served up. At Zweig Group, our mission is to Elevate the Industry. The profession of engineering is no joke, and we don’t advise clients on scent. But when you elevate your firm and its culture, you create space above for your own rising stars to shine.

“By 2025, millennials will make up 75 percent of the workforce.” Whether accurate or not, (the number was recently challenged but remained widely accepted to be fact), we have all read or heard this statement at some point in the last few years. This number has driven plenty of workplace articles, each of which drawing a differ- ent prediction or sentiment of what that means to their respective target audience. And today, it’s my turn. As someone born in the early 80s, and blessed (or cursed, especially in terms of career advancement) with a very youthful appearance and “vibe,” I personally cannot wait for my generation to rise to power, and take over the world figuratively and literally. I have worked most of my association and marketing career supporting and betting on young professionals and emerging leaders. I have made it my personal mission to advocate for this group whenever I have the opportunity to. I have shoved and pushed my way to the room (sometimes I am fortunate enough to have an actual seat at the table) just so I could be the person in that room or at that table to throw an emerging professional’s name in the hat – be it a speaking opportunity, a nomination for an award, a publishing opportunity, their name on a project, or a promotion; I strive to be these bright young stars’ advocate. I have worked closely alongside plenty of brilliant millennials in AEC and beyond, who are resourceful, social- ly conscious, efficient, adventurous, and incredibly adaptable, but not always heard or seen. They are today. At Zweig Group, we embrace the idea of Rising Stars. In our Dallas office, I am the oldest staff member by over a decade, and I am not even 40 yet. I am in awe of our office’s work ethic, pace, efficiency of collaboration, dedication, and intelligence. If they were eligible for this award, I would have entered each of their names. The bigger picture I want to make sure we don’t miss today, however, is that each of these 2021 Rising Stars winners that you will read about in the following pages has someone in “the room” advocating for them. As much as we must credit these Rising Stars for their own hard work and subsequent accomplishment, the cold hard truth is unless their firm, a manager, or a mentor, cares to encourage and recognize it, hard work and bril - liance often get buried. I want to applaud all the firms and nominators for taking the time and effort to give credit where it’s due. Giving credit and recognition might actually be the easy part, having created opportunities and carved out space for these Rising Stars to shine is the actual admirable part. Winning this award says a lot about the Rising Stars themselves, but we must not neglect what that also says about these firms. Be it 75 percent or 40 percent, this generation is a (work) force to be reckoned with, and so much more capable than we can probably even imagine. I look forward to growing older and wiser with my fellow emerging pro- fessionals; and making every room and every table we occupy the room to be in and the table to be at. I predict we will see some of our winners in these rooms and tables.

Foundations for Extremes webinar august 19 & 26 – virtual

Join CHANCE® for a two-part webinar to learn how extreme events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters often cause substantial damage to the foundation of existing structures that requires rapid response for repair. In some areas, recurring events produce repeating damage to traditional foundations of lightly loaded residential and commercial structures. Learn why helical piles are an attractive engineered solution that can be used to provide rapid high capacity load bearing characteristics in most geologic settings for both new foundations and remedial repair. https://csengineermag.com/foundations-for-extremes/ september 2021 Euro-Global Conference on Biotechnology and Bioengineering september 6-8 – Rome, italy Magnus group takes the honor to invite you all the participants to Euro- Global Conference on Biotechnology and Bioengineering (ECBB 2021) takes place on September 06-08, 2021 at Rome, Italy under the theme ‘Addressing Current Challenges in Biotechnology and Bioengineering’. https://biotechnology-conferences.magnusgroup.org/register Commercial UAV Expo Americas 2021 is where the commercial drone community gathers to learn, connect, and drive the industry forward.
