On March 6th, Steelwrist hosted its first ever live webinar in our 20-year history. This time, we dedicated it to amplifying the voices of women in construction. We brought together four accomplished women, Donna LaFata from A&D Equipment Inc, Brittany Auman from Auman Landscape, Amy Underwood from The Digger Girl®, and Sanna Larsson from Steelwrist, to share their insights on excavation and the evolving role of women in the industry. Each brought a unique perspective from different parts of the world, making for an inspiring discussion. Why now? Because it’s Women in Construction Week, and there’s no better time to spark meaningful conversations. For 45 minutes, the public had the opportunity to be inspired, engage in discussions, and ask real-time questions. As Donna LaFata shared in the webinar: “Us getting together and using our voice is a powerful thing, and we need to keep doing it. It also doesn't need to just be for one week, it needs to be for 52 weeks a year. We need to be vocal and be networking all year long […]. We've done a lot so far, so we have to keep pushing forward, stay vocal, and do it together.” Today, on International Women’s Day, we’re reflecting on the impact of this conversation and the importance of keeping it going.
