And every step forward has come with new opportunities for me too. Not many people get to say their day job has changed the skyline of their city. And along the way, the people have truly become my second family." — Chelsea McEwan, Interim Controller

The work here doesn’t let you coast – every project asks you to bring your best, and the people around me make that easier because they’re so good at what they do. I quickly felt part of something special knowing my job at CMLC and the work we accomplish together is helping shape the city I love.” —Amy Egeland, Communications Strategist
