Angela Boone

Founder & CEO | Community Economic Pathways

Angela Boone is the Founder and CEO of Community Economic Pathways and the owner of A. R. Boone Construction, bringing over 35 years of experience in the construction industry. Her career spans project management, field operations, construction management, and large-scale developments, giving her a deep, practical understanding of how projects are built and where real opportunities are often overlooked.

She holds an Associate of Science in Business Administration and has studied civil and electrical engineering, as well as interior design, bringing together formal education and hands-on experience to understand both the technical and business sides of construction.

Angela founded Community Economic Pathways to close a gap she witnessed throughout her career. She saw that many individuals had the skills to work in construction but lacked the access, direction, and knowledge to turn those skills into business ownership and long-term financial stability. CEP was created to change that, providing real pathways into entrepreneurship, workforce readiness, and economic growth.

Through Community Economic Pathways, Angela teaches individuals how to move from working in construction to owning within it. Her focus is on equipping people with the tools, knowledge, and real-world understanding needed to build sustainable businesses and create generational impact.

Her work has earned widespread recognition for both industry excellence and community impact. Angela is a recipient of the Spirit of Detroit Award presented by the Detroit City Council and has received multiple testimonial resolutions from the City of Detroit and Wayne County. She has also been recognized by the Detroit Fireman’s Fund and honored with the Wayne County Commission Unsung Hero Award. In addition, she was nominated as one of the Top 10 Business Women of Distinction by the National Association of Women Business Owners.

Angela’s work and leadership have been featured in Essence Special Collector’s Edition, as well as on Fox 2 Detroit and WXYZ-TV Channel 7 Detroit, highlighting her commitment to building stronger communities through education, access, and opportunity.
