Several Women’s
Transportation Seminar (WTS) chapters have spotlighted Garver as its featured
platinum sponsor—chapters in Austin and Dallas, Texas, as well as the chapter
in Kansas City.
In the
Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter newsletter, WTS recently highlighted the contribution
of Garver Project Manager Kathy Kleinschmidt, who embodies the spirit of WTS in
that she has benefitted from and is committed to giving back to the
organization.
In 2005,
Kathy Kleinschmidt was the intelligent single mom of a six-year-old. She was
trying to balance a full-time job while earning her bachelor’s degree in civil
engineering. With one year remaining in Kathy’s education the WTS awarded her
the Sharon D. Banks scholarship, which helped ease the financial burden of
completing her degree. Kathy has since become a talented project manager at
Garver, and a fantastic role model for her daughter. In fact, Kathy’s daughter
plans to embark on her own pursuit of an engineering degree this fall.
WTS’s
generosity and support inspired Kathy to do what she can to empower women
through WTS. Garver takes pride in employees like Kathy, who aren’t just good
at what they do, but also see what good they can do others.
