Member Spotlight

Emily Hansleman, Insurance Manager at Turner Construction, spent no time finding her creative outlets at ACI. Starting on the ACI-YP committee just a few short years ago helped Emily cultivate the idea of a Communications Task Force. She led that Task Force in creating a new and improved ACI website. One of the biggest additions is the committee pages you are visiting now! Since then Emily has joined the Scholarship and Marketing & Communications Committees all at the same time of planning a wedding and buying/selling multiple homes.
