Thank You, Turner & Townsend! I am honored to have participated in the recent panel discussion hosted by Turner & Townsend alongside four other incredible women in the construction industry. It was a privilege to share the stage with such talented leaders and engage in meaningful conversations about the challenges and opportunities we face as women in construction. During our discussion, we tackled vital topics such as navigating and owning our career paths in a traditionally male-dominated industry. We explored the importance of networking—highlighting the dos and don’ts that can help us build valuable connections. Additionally, we delved into the significance of mentorship opportunities and how they can empower us to reach our full potential. A heartfelt thank you to my fellow panelists for their insights and experiences, which truly enriched the conversation. And thank you again to Turner & Townsend for including me in this inspiring event. #WomenInConstruction #Mentorship #Networking #TurnerAndTownsend #GirlsCanBuild #SharpConstruction
Yesterday, our T&T Bridge committee hosted our first in-person panel event at our Phoenix office. We welcomed five experienced female construction professionals who shared insights on navigating a career as a woman in the construction industry, emphasizing the importance of having a strong mentor throughout one’s career and not being afraid to ask questions. I hope events like this will inspire women to see the construction industry as a viable lifelong career. It’s uplifting to witness these women breaking down the stereotypes that have long existed in this field. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the five incredible females who participated in this event, especially given their busy schedules. Renae S.
