Mary-Allyson Chauvin, Langston Construction
Mary-Allyson is the Director of Human Resources/People Operations at Langston Construction where she has been employed for the last 8 years. Her employers and colleagues describe her as approaching every situation with professionalism, consistency, and respect with an ability to balance business needs with employee well-being that has earned her the trust of leadership and the workforce alike. This is most evident with the implementation of our LifeAdvisor Employee Assistance Program which provides life counseling and other benefits such as assistance in finding resources for child care or elder care.

In an industry defined by workforce challenges, safety considerations and regulatory complexity, she provides steady, informed leadership that strengthens our operations and supports sustainable growth.”
