## Resource

In this episode, CMAA’s Carly Trout and Evan Hendershot sit down with members of the CMAA Sustainability Subcommittee for an in-depth look at what resilience really means in the construction industry. Guests Randy Britt, director of Climate Adaptation and Resilience at Terravanta; Joyce Dawson, CCM, assistant director of Facilities Planning and Construction at Anne Arundel Community College; and Deeta Bernstein, group manager at Consertus, break down the essential distinctions between sustainability and resilience—and why both matter. The conversation explores the growing stressors affecting today’s projects, from extreme weather to aging infrastructure, and highlights why construction managers are on the front lines of preparing for and responding to these challenges. The guests share insights from the resilience course they’re developing for construction managers, set to launch in 2026, and explain how intentional planning, collaboration, and design choices can help protect communities and ensure long-term project performance. This episode is sponsored by IHG Business Edge. The Construction Leaders Podcast is produced by Association Briefings.
