    The women in Construction have gained confidence and aren't in such fierce competition with one another anymore, it feels less strained and more helpful. I think that the more women in the industry, the easier it will be to attract more as the stigma evolves.

    When we don't consider women as leaders and key players in our industry, we lose half of our qualified candidates.

    I'm so glad that the topic of women in construction is being discuss more and more. We, as an industry, need to do better and be more inclusive. Especially with young women. You don't know, what you don't know...so educate young women that construction jobs are not just for the men.
