Said in Stone
Founded in 1928, Ozinga is a fifth-generation, family-owned American company, leading the industry in ready mix concrete, aggregate and cement solutions. From small town driveways to stadiums and skyscrapers, our purpose is to make a positive impact on individuals, their families and the community for generations. Join us to hear conversations with those who share a similar purpose — whether they’re a thought leader in their field or one of our own expert coworkers — as we discuss what we’ve made, what we can build on and the legacy we’ll leave behind.
Celebrating its 60th anniversary this month, the Chicago Architecture Center’s mission is to spotlight why design matters, through youth education, civic advocacy, exhibitions and more. Known worldwide for their spectacular river boat tours — rated the best in the nation by both USA Today and TripAdvisor — the CAC remains one of the largest non-profit cultural organizations in the city, attracting over 500,000 patrons annually. As CEO/President of the organization, and a licensed architect with over 25 years experience in historic preservation and urban planning, Eleanor Esser Gorski explains today how she’s made equity and community central to her career, and how the CAC is powered by hundreds of passionate volunteers. Plus, why Chicago is known iconically around the globe as The City of Architecture. Full video of this episode is available at http://ozinga.com/podcasts.

Chasing Zero
As a leader in ready mix concrete, aggregates and cement, Ozinga sees the call for safety being everywhere: beyond the construction site, and well after we’ve punched out. On Chasing Zero, Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer discusses how industry experts and fellow coworkers are leading by example to help increase safety and eliminate incidents and injuries.
Imagine 20,000 calls per day. On average, that’s what Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) is handling, from minor disturbances to life-and-death situations. And as a decorated 911 dispatcher with nearly 30 years experience, Amy Lovell’s insight and contributions have helped shape the way police and fire teams respond. A go-to dispatcher for any major event where the eyes of the world are on Chicago — from parades to protests — Amy has won Illinois’ Telecommunicator of the Year award twice, specifically for her professionalism and leadership during 2024’s Democratic National Convention and the NATO Summit of 2012. Joined this week by Ozinga’s Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer and Safety Manager Steve Lindley, Amy helps us learn what to expect on the other end of the line in an emergency, and how she’s mentoring the newest generation of dispatchers.
