We're proud to welcome Kristen Sorth to Clayco as Vice President, Civic and Social Impact, starting in January.

With over 28 years at St. Louis County Library, the last 13 as CEO and Director, Kristen helped lead one of the region's most beloved institutions through a transformation: renovating or replacing all 20 branches and turning libraries into community hubs for literacy, technology and basic needs. She has raised millions of dollars for the St. Louis County Library Foundation.

At Clayco, Kristen will lead our Office of Civic and Social Impact & Giving, including the Clayco Foundation, with a focus on our five mission pillars: art, science, education, economic development and democracy.

We build in communities across North America. Kristen will help make sure we build with them, too. Welcome, Kristen! https://ow.ly/fRRl50ZZTWX

In the latest issue of Forbes magazine, you’ll see two landmark Clayco projects, the Obama Presidential Center and the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), featured alongside a profile of our Founder and Executive Chairman, Bob Clark.

The first CCDI Georgia Construction Ready training cohort has officially graduated, marking an exciting milestone for workforce development in the communities surrounding Rivian's new electric vehicle manufacturing campus in Stanton Springs, Georgia.

Following four weeks of hands-on training, all 24 participants attended a hiring fair where each graduate was matched with a contractor, taking an important step toward a career in the skilled trades.

The program reflects what's possible when industry and community partners come together to create meaningful opportunities. Through the collaboration of CCDI, Construction Ready, Rivian, CJ Adventures (Clayco's joint venture with JE Dunn Construction), participating contractors, and local workforce partners, this initiative is helping connect residents with training, employment opportunities, and long-term career pathways.

Congratulations to all 24 graduates, and thank you to everyone who helped make this first cohort a success. We look forward to building on this momentum and creating even more opportunities in Georgia.

In recognition of Substance Abuse Prevention Month, CJ Adventures, Clayco's joint venture with JE Dunn Construction, partnered with Walton Empowers at the Rivian manufacturing plant project in Georgia to help raise awareness about substance use, reduce stigma, and encourage conversations around prevention, recovery, and available support.

Safety is about more than the work we do. It's about the well-being of the people doing it. By connecting our craft professionals and project teams with community organizations and resources, we're helping create an environment where people feel supported and know where to turn when they need help.

Thank you to Walton Empowers for partnering with our team and for the important work they do to strengthen the local community.

Great companies are built on more than great ideas. They're built on people, purpose, and the drive to do things differently. Clayco Founder and Executive Chairman Bob Clark was recently featured in Forbes as part of its look at four founders who have built businesses with long-term impact.

From Clayco's beginnings to its growth into an integrated design, engineering, and construction enterprise, Bob's vision has been rooted in bringing great people together, challenging conventional thinking, and creating opportunities that extend beyond the projects we build.

That commitment continues to shape how we work, invest in our people, and deliver lasting value for our customers and communities.
