Gordian Helps Build Better Communities

Another one of the main reasons organizations choose Gordian is their people. Gordian employees are deeply invested in the communities where they live and work.

Gordian believes that building better communities starts with understanding their clients’ unique needs and challenges. Team members actively participate in local events, volunteer initiatives and community planning sessions.  

“…Having grown up in Southern California and [now] working in Southern California in the program that I manage, I work with a lot of state and local agencies and special districts through the program. For me, it’s really important to be able to drive by and say, ‘Hey, our company was involved in that.’ ‘Hey, we helped with that.’ ‘Hey, I worked with a contractor that built that.’ The fact that we’re [making an impact] at the community level [is] super important to me.” 

Tamiko Gutierrez, Regional Director, Gordian
