250 years ago, a bet was placed on the idea that people, given the freedom to work toward something, could build a nation. That bet paid off.

The industrious will behind that founding still shows up everywhere you look: in the people who build, the ones who solve, and the ones who show up every day to move things forward.

Happy 250th birthday, America, and happy Fourth of July. Wishing you a safe and restful holiday with the people who matter most.

From all of us at Pinnacle Group.

Tomorrow morning at WBENC — Sarah Manshack joins Kate Kleyman of McKinstry on the construction industry panel in Salt Lake City.

If you're on-site, this is the one to catch:
• Construction Industry Session Part B — Expansion in Action: Unlocking Growth in Data Center Construction
• Tuesday, June 16 | 9:00–9:45 AM MT

The conversation: how clients expanding into data center construction are rethinking workforce strategy, supplier engagement, and where MSP discipline applies.

Connect with Sarah after the session if you want to keep the conversation going.

One week out from WBENC — and a preview of the question Sarah Manshack and Kate Kleyman (McKinstry) will be tackling on stage in Salt Lake City.

Digital infrastructure demand isn't slowing down. The clients we work with in utilities are expanding into data center construction at a pace that's forcing real questions about how they staff, govern, and engage suppliers for capital builds. The framing matters: this work isn't a bigger version of traditional MSP. It's a different respect for a different kind of environment.

A few of the patterns the panel will get into:
• Where MSP discipline carries cleanly into capital construction — and where it needs to flex
• What good supplier engagement looks like when the work is mission-critical
• What owners are doing now to get ahead of the next 3–5 years of data center growth

Tuesday, June 16 | 9:00–9:45 AM MT

WBENC is back in Salt Lake City June 15–18, and Sarah Manshack will be on the program.

Sarah is joining Kate Kleyman of McKinstry on a panel about how data center construction is changing the way capital-project owners think about workforce expansion and supplier engagement.

What the session will dig into:
• Where workforce program discipline (visibility, supplier performance, governance) carries cleanly into capital construction, and where it needs to be respected differently
• How owners are framing work expansion as their build environments scale
• What changes for supplier engagement when the work is mission-critical, not transactional
