Rosendin Electric’s Diya Peter Wins 2015 Women in Construction Award

Leave a comment

Constructech Recognizes Operations Applications Team Leader for Her Role in Bringing New Technology to All Rosendin Electric Regions.

San Jose, CA, USA (September 22, 2015) — Rosendin Electric, one of the nation’s largest private electrical contractors and an employee-owned company, is proud to announce that Diya Peter, Operations Applications Lead for the company, has been recognized by Constructech Magazine with a 2015 Women In Construction Award. The Award is presented each year to the most influential women shaping the construction industry.

Ms. Peter was selected as one of a select group of women who are having an impact on construction. In her role as Operations Applications Lead, Ms. Peter has been responsible for the design, development, and deployment of all applications used by Rosendin Electric’s Field and Operations team. Much of her responsibility includes implementing new technology to Rosendin Electric’s regional offices as well as field training. Most recently, she has been implementing a new time-tracking application designed for field payroll and time management, and deploying construction project management platforms companywide.

“Diya is an evangelist for new ideas and new technologies and has been instrumental in bringing the latest applications to the field,” said Sam Lamonica, CIO of Rosendin Electric. “Her experience and passion have been instrumental in gaining the confidence of our field personnel and regional managers and getting them to embrace the latest technology tools.”

Ms. Peter has more than seven years of experience in developing and managing IT systems for the construction industry and she serves as a mentor to other women, drawing from her extensive experience in IT and construction to counsel them on future career opportunities. She is also active with an industry-related CIO Scholarship Fund, which has been tasked with starting a Young Professionals Group to support MIS students.

“I am honored to receive a Women in Construction Award,” said Ms. Peter. “Women are still a minority in the construction industry, and this award not only speaks to the value of my contribution, but it honors all of the women who are changing the face of construction.”

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women only make up 8.9 percent of the construction workforce, and even a smaller percentage contributes to construction technology. Constructech’s Women in Construction awards honor those women who are not only contributors to the construction industry, but also whose passion and leadership are shaping the future of construction.

GiftWorksPlus Announces Tips For The Best Fall Family Portraits

Leave a comment

Find the perfect customizable wooden frame for fall family portraits with GiftWorksPlus.

Waukesha, WI, USA — GiftWorksPlus, a custom frame designer, is now helping families to take amazing fall family portraits. With cooler weather setting in and the leaves about to change, autumn is the year’s best time to have your loved ones professionally photographed together! The Wisconsin-based custom gifts online store has several suggestions for families looking to make the most of this fall with a stunning portrait.

Get Outside!
Fall is the most beautiful time of the year to be outdoors, so what better place for your family portrait? Work with your photographer to find a location that captures the spectacular colors of the fall foliage. Lakesides or river bluffs are great spots for a fall portrait.

Dress to Impress
This is not a time to wear Bermuda shorts and tank tops. Dress your family in cozy sweaters and plaids to display your autumn fashion sense. Cool temperatures aren’t easy to show through a photo frame, so dressing in warm clothes will convey that crisp fall air in a photo.

Don’t Be Afraid to Use Props
Many iconic symbols appear during this time of year: leaves on the ground, hay bales, and scarecrows to name a few. Attempt to work these into your portrait without making it looked forced. Standing in a park with colorful leaves at your feet or casually sitting on hay bales will show off that autumn feeling all year long!

Once the perfect fall family portrait has been captured, trust GiftWorksPlus to have the perfect engraved wooden frame for it. The online customizable gifts store has hundreds of wooden picture frames to compliment any family’s portrait, no matter the time of year.

GiftWorksPlus offers free personalization of all its quality wooden frames. Add names, dates, or special quotes to the family picture frame to create an unforgettable memory and show off a fall portrait in style. No matter the event, GiftWorksPlus has customized picture frames to make it special.

Headquartered in the heartland of America, GiftWorksPlus is proud to offer a full line of personalized picture frames, personalized key chains, picture gifts, and more. Each GiftWorksPlus item is made in the USA of renewable resources and handcrafted by talented master craftsmen. Special requests and custom orders are always welcome at GiftWorksPlus.

Leave a comment

UglyDeck.com stresses the importance of grilling safely by providing simple tips to ensure a fun and safe environment out on a deck.

• While the grill is on, make sure to keep children and pets away from the grilling area.
• Don’t ever try to move a hot grill.
• Never leave a grill unattended. This is important not only to keep from overcooking brats and burgers, but it’s also important so that children and pets are kept at a safe distance and to keep an eye out for flare-ups.
• Clean the grill thoroughly after each use by removing grease buildup from the grill and tray below the grill.
