In 2017, 10 Michael Baker
International employees
traveled to Pabellón, Bolivia,
as part of a Bridges to
Prosperity project.
Locals had been trying to get the bridge built for the better
part of a decade, to create a connection across a river that
becomes dangerous to cross during the rainy season. The river
cuts off a children's dormitory from the rest of the school
grounds and restricts access to other services for community
members.
"The bridge industry has been a very successful one for
me," says Stephen Ross, operations manager in Michael Baker
International's Columbia, South Carolina, office. "I have
enjoyed a lot of good fortune in my career, and this was a rare
opportunity to leverage that knowledge to give back to folks
who were in desperate need of some connectivity."
AN EASY SELL
The 2019 trip was the fourth summer that a group of Michael
Baker International employees traveled to Latin America with
Bridges to Prosperity to build a footbridge. In 2016, a team
traveled to Nicaragua, and for the past three years the groups
have worked in a trio of Bolivian villages.
The partnership sprouted after John Dietrick, regional
bridge practice lead in the firm's Cleveland office, became
friends with Avery Bang, CEO of Bridges to Prosperity.
Dietrick brought the idea of working with the organization to
his company's leadership, and it received unanimous support
from the get-go.
"It was a pretty easy sell," Dietrick says. "It is a demonstration
that we are more than just a place to earn a paycheck. We saw
this as a powerful recruiting and retention tool. The millennial
workforce, in particular, wants to make a difference for people."
Over four years, teams from Michael Baker International
have constructed more than 200 meters of bridges, serving
more than 3,000 people.
