I am looking forward to this event! According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women now make up 10.9% of the construction workforce, the highest percentage since 1990. Women are not only joining the construction industry, but also leading it, holding key positions in project management, engineering, design, architecture, and more. They also mentor and inspire the next generation of female construction workers, creating a positive and supportive culture. The construction industry needs more workers to meet the growing demand for housing, infrastructure, and other projects. Women can fill this gap and provide the talent and expertise that the industry needs. Women in construction are challenging stereotypes and creating opportunities for themselves and others. They are the role models we need and the leaders we deserve.

In Chicago's construction industry, women are rising to leadership roles at major firms like AECOM Hunt, Gilbane, Mortenson, Turner, and Powers & Sons. Despite being a male-dominated field, these women are breaking barriers, emphasizing grit, and leveraging Chicago's progressive environment to thrive. Their stories highlight the industry's evolving landscape and the importance of networks for professional growth. Chicago's construction outlook remains strong, with opportunities for women and diverse talent to contribute. However, challenges persist, requiring ongoing efforts to address biases and create inclusive environments. To aspiring women in construction, these leaders offer advice: know yourself, build networks, and embrace mentorship. With determination and support, women are shaping the future of construction. https://lnkd.in/gtSk5_GX #WomenInConstruction #ChicagoLeadership #DiversityInConstruction Ciara McGlynn Ciaran Mcbride Gareth McGlynn (BEng) Lisa Doherty Orrian Quigley Patrick Stanley Shea O'Kane Megan Anthony Morgan Murray Orán Fox Niche SSP - No.1 for Estimating Talent
