Ms. Monroe was formerly the Deputy County Supervisor for
the 3rd District of Yolo County. In addition to her experience at
the city and county level, she also worked for a California State
Senator and has an adult education vocatonal education teaching
credential. For several years prior to her roles in public
service, she worked for a large Sacramento based construction
company where she learned first hand about the excellent
compensation, benefits and advancement opportunities in the
construction industry. Monroe is a natural advocate for
construction careers and a regular participant in Construction
Career Awareness Day events and outreach to youth.
"Like most young people today, I worked odd jobs and took
a few classes at the community college. When I finally took a
position with a construction company, I made 3 times more money,
established good credit, bought a house and was able to enjoy many
comforts in life. I had health insurance, life insurance,
retirement and they even paid $2,000 per year toward my education.
By the time I knew what I wanted from a college education, I could
afford to treat myself to a fine education from a very expensive
college. What matters most is that I didn't rush it. When I was
ready, I truly enjoyed the experience."
"I think students and parents are relieved to know
that there are many exciting and lucrative options in construction
and building trades. With 500,000 people moving to California every
year, there will be a need for housing, transportation and
employment. Who do you think is going to build it?"
