2020 Women on the Rise Nomination – Carly Rush
October 7, 2020
This will be Carly’s second nomination, as she won this award in 2017. Carly was nominated this year by one of her peers who had this to say about her: “Carly started at Oregon Tradeswomen, became a Sheet Metal apprentice, and moved to the top of her class. She represented us at our regional contest and spends countless hours in outreach and mentoring females in our trade. Upon completion of her apprenticeship, she was hired to lead the safety department of the contractor she was working for. Carly is just at the beginning of what is going to be a strong leadership career.”
GO Carly! We are routing for you! #AlliantPride

We are excited to announce that our headquarters office has moved to a new location in the Pearl District. We spent the previous 13 years in Beaverton, where we added space and remodeled twice.

Originally built in 1927, our building gives us 20,000 sq. ft. right in the heart of the Pearl. Our location has a walking score of 99, a bike score of 97, and a whole lot of restaurants and other places nearby to go for hazelnut lattes.
