Boston – Suffolk recently welcomed Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), to its headquarters in Roxbury to share her views about the critical importance safety culture has on organizations. Suffolk chairman and CEO, John Fish, and Suffolk EVP of environmental health, Matthew Swaim, joined Homendy during a fireside chat for Suffolk employees that focused on Suffolk’s safety culture and safety systems.

The students were from Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science, New Mission High School, and Roxbury Prep Charter School. They learned about the various career paths available in the construction industry, including roles in sustainability, innovation and technology.
The students had the opportunity to engage in a Q&A and panel discussion with Suffolk leaders and toured the nearby Roxbury Prep jobsite, where Suffolk is managing the construction of a new 4-story public charter high school for 800 students in grades 9-12.
