March 3-9, 2019 is Women in Construction (WIC) Week, a week-long celebration of women in the industry organized by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). GBCA is proud to support the women working for our member firms!

The focus of WIC Week is to highlight women as a visible component of the construction industry. WIC Week also provides an occasion to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry. Do you have a rising female within your firm? Contact Byron Lee at blee@64.207.152.120 to tell her story, and GBCA will highlight her during WIC Week!

Below are some ways you can participate is spreading awareness and showing your support:

  • Promote your support of Women in Construction Week 2019

  • Share your female employees’ success stories with GBCA
  • Support a local high school or university with jobsite tours or STEM activities to encourage young women to pursue careers in construction
