Women in Construction Week (WIC Week), celebrated from March 3-9, 2024, is an annual event organized by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) to highlight and promote the significant role of women in the construction industry. First held in 1998, WIC Week has evolved and expanded over the years, featuring a variety of events organized by local chapters, such as high school presentations, job site tours, luncheons, and virtual events. The theme for the 26th annual WIC Week, "Keys to the Future," emphasizes the crucial contributions of women in shaping the construction industry's future. Construction firms of all sizes are encouraged to support their female employees by participating in WIC Week activities, and individuals can find local events through the event calendar provided by NAWIC. The week-long celebration acknowledges the diverse paths women take in the construction field, from building safer roads and enhancing transportation to contributing to the logistics sector and water infrastructure development. The construction industry has seen a growing presence of women, with their numbers reaching almost 11% in 2022. Notably, the gender pay gap in construction is narrower compared to other industries, with women earning over 95% of what men make in similar roles. WIC Week serves as an invaluable opportunity to showcase the construction industry's evolving diversity and the increasing number of opportunities available for women.

This week we celebrate Women in Construction. But what does that mean....how do you celebrate? -Acknowledge the women whom you work next to! Learn and understand their challenges so that you know whether you can offer support. -Be an Advocate! Through your learning and understanding speak up and spread awareness in order to help us break down barriers and speak up when you are witness to any form of discrimination. -Educate our youth! Many young girls may not be aware of the incredible opportunities that construction careers can offer. -Challenge your company to make change! What percentage of women work and are hired at your company? How are they making efforts to diversify the organization? How does your company support women who work there? I want to see the next generation of young women entering the workforce, especially in the construction industry, continue to... -see less hurdles and more doors being opened -see less discrimination and more recognition and acknowledgement, and -see less fear and more confidence! Happy Celebrating and Congratulations to all the incredibly driven and successful women, mothers and caretakers in my life!

Great Decision
I am proud to share that Suffolk is an initial signatory to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Million Women in Construction Community Pledge to bring more women into the construction workforce. As a leader in the construction space, we remain committed to creating more opportunities for women to make meaningful careers in this industry. In turn, this will also help mitigate the industry-wide labor shortage we are facing which requires attracting more diversified talent to the field. Thank you to Secretary Gina Raimondo for shining a light on this very important issue. It is our honor to pledge our dedication to our efforts to #RebuildTheRatio of women in construction and we urge everyone in this industry alongside us to take part.

Construction industry efforts to recruit and retain women are beginning to pay off as more and more realize the benefits of a career in the field. From creating local community outreach programs to inspire the next generation, to team-building exercises and outings to strengthen and retain today's talent, major contractors are increasingly taking it upon themselves to redefine the industry. As we mark the final days of this year's Women in Construction Week, we celebrate the progress that's been made by the industry as a whole, as we continue to work towards a more inclusive and equitable future.
