AECOM Impact Blog: YALI Reflections — A Cultural Exchange from Africa to Virginia
By: Diane Dale
AECOM Vice President and Director of Sustainability Planning, Buildings + Places
As part of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), Fellows from the Presidential Precinct took a break from their intensive study program to celebrate the naturalization ceremony at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville, Virginia.
I was pleased to represent AECOM on this quintessential American holiday event and meet with several Fellows from Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa to learn about the impact AECOM has made on their lives.
Find out what the YALI Fellows had to say about AECOM's involvement in the program.
Drawing from the experience of its approximately 45,000 employees, the AECOM Impact Blog provides the firm with an opportunity to share stories about employee excellence, industry insights, innovative project solutions, corporate social responsibility experiences, safety for life and sustainable perspectives. We hope you’ll join the conversation.
