Anastasia Barnes
In recent years, New England’s A/E/C industry has provided solutions for many of the challenges facing developers and communities. The award winners reported in HP’s December issue represent only a small portion of hundreds of projects submitted that reflect these solutions. Through design and construction, we improve teamwork, conserve energy and create a safer and healthier environment in which to work and live.
For 21 years, you’ve trusted High Profile to accurately report the New England A/E/C news and showcase the comments of industry professionals on relevant topics and trends.
Our vision for 2019 is “Building a Better World” and is our commitment to you that, not only will we continue these endeavors, but we will be a platform where you can engage with the people and companies that are changing the industry for the better. We also challenge you to act on your own vision of what it means to build a better world, and to share those stories with us.
This year, HP will be attending industry events and talking with members of the community about what issues and topics they feel are most important. We will be exploring what it means to build responsibly and will be featuring companies that are creating new ways to tackle the major challenges the industry faces today. Our new HP podcast will feature conversations with thought leaders on topics such as sustainable design, diversity in the workplace, and new technology.
We also invite you to participate in a special issue entitled “A/E/C Vision” which will highlight individuals and firms in the A/E/C industry that are taking initiatives to build a better world by creating a healthy culture within their own firms, utilizing new technology to build our communities more efficiently, or by diversifying their workforce both in the office and in the field.
We’re also working with Fathom, a future design firm, to better define our goals going forward and how we can best project those to our readers. Fathom works with companies to realize their full potential and put into action the goals and causes that will grow their businesses and positively influence the world around them.
We’re excited to share our passions with you as we embark on a new year of innovation, creativity, and practical solutions for the challenges we face. We’re excited about Fathom’s commitment to taking High Profile to the next level and will continue to share with you the discoveries we make.
To achieve our vision, we’re asking you to engage with us and to let us know what you’d like to see covered by HP this year. We invite you to email us at [email protected] with your suggestions for people or companies you’d like to see highlighted or topics you want to hear more about.
We recognize that solutions are discovered in places where community members can come together to share ideas. In the new year, we look forward to hearing from you and to providing content that engages, entertains, and challenges you, our readers, to build a better world.
Here’s to new beginnings!
Sincerely,
Anastasia Barnes
