L. Elain Johnson is the President of LaPutt Enterprise, a women and minority owned construction company established in 2010.
From inclusivegrowthphl.org:
Throughout the years, Elaine saw the construction industry’s lack of diversity and began transitioning her company to a commercial signatory contractor, a company that signs an agreement with trade unions to adhere to their guidelines. Elaine saw it as an opportunity to address the lack of women in the industry overall.
LaPutt Enterprise is signatory to Local 158 (Carpenters), District Council 21 (Finishers), and Local 332 (Laborers).
Elaine said she wants to be a voice for change in the city she loves. She said that while Philadelphia offers resources that create opportunities for businesses, more work needs to be done to make it easier for the small and diverse businesses to operate and do business in the city.
