From the St. Louis American: Joyce Morgan is diversity coordinator for S.M. Wilson
When one door closed for Joyce Morgan, another quickly opened. That opening has allowed Morgan to build a successful career in the construction industry and become a passionate advocate for diversity inclusion and workplace participation on area projects.
Morgan, currently the executive assistant for operations and diversity coordinator at S.M. Wilson & Co. in St. Louis, has spent the last 18 years in construction, although originally not by choice. The one-time customer service manager for Central Hardware was forced to make a career change when the company went out of business in 1996. She earned a certificate in computer processing and networking from MVC Computer Business School. And then another door opened.
