March 1–7, 2026 marks Women in Construction Week, a national celebration recognizing the vital contributions of women across the construction industry.
This year, GBCA highlights four women actively shaping the future of union commercial construction through leadership, industry engagement, and committee service.
Our 2026 spotlight focuses on leadership pathways — how women are advancing collaboration, education, innovation, and industry development through their involvement in GBCA. Construction is strongest when leadership reflects the full talent of our industry.
