Description
Women in Construction: Building the Paved Way
The MBL celebrates Women in Construction (WIC) Week! WIC Week was created to highlight women as a viable component of the construction industry. You are invited to join us for networking, fireside chats with subject experts, group discussions, and lunch.
This is a time to highlight the great initiatives and work of women within the industry. We will explore the challenges and the ways to overcome them as well as address the vast opportunities that are available to women in construction.
The goal is to bring together women in construction and women interested in careers in construction, to provide opportunities for growth personally and professionally through education and networking.
