As we celebrated Women in Construction, we are honored to shine a spotlight on one of our own — Lana Gardner, Project Manager at Sentry — who was recently awarded the NAWIC Dakota Prairies Tradeswoman of the Year. This recognition by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Chapter #394 in Watertown, SD, highlights Lana’s incredible leadership, dedication, and impact in the construction industry.
Lana has built her career from the ground up, consistently demonstrating expertise, tenacity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her work ethic and passion for construction have not only elevated the projects she’s led but have also left a lasting impression on her teams, partners, and community.

At Sentry, we believe in building more than just structures — we build trust, relationships, and a better future. Lana embodies that mission in everything she does. Her approach to project management blends innovation, precision, and collaboration, all while maintaining the human-centered focus that defines who we are as a company. She represents the very best of Sentry: flexible, innovative, and results-driven.
