Professional Women in Construction
Back in 1980, eight women planning to attend a construction industry event decided to band together rather than go separately. That decision was the birth of “Professional Women in Construction,” now a national association built around connecting women working in the construction industry as a supportive community of like-minded professionals.
Five regional chapters are based in New York, Boston, Connecticut, New Jersey and Philadelphia. More information on how to join (or start) a PWC chapter in your area can be found here.
