About Jami

Since she was a young girl, Jami Lee Wright has always known that she wanted to work in the family business. Her grandfather opened the family business, Wright Building Center, in 1964, and it has since grown to two locations, Murphysboro and Sparta, and a team of over 50 members. Wright is committed to her family’s business and making sure that it is here to stay successful for generations to come. 

Jami is constantly learning from her peers and colleagues. She recognizes that many of her team members have been in the industry for over 20 years and know the industry very well. Because of this Wright has worked hard to build an infrastructure that works for her and the team, allowing them to provide their vital input and help everyone to find success.

In addition to learning industry from her peers and colleagues, she has also learned what traits she admires in others. Jami admires individuals who are honest, open to change, and have a good attitude. She finds that being open to change is so important because it allows us to know where we are falling short and improve.
