Nominate someone you know for a Women in Construction Leadership Award
As we celebrate “Construction and Skilled Trades Month” this April, there will be many opportunities to acknowledge the people of our industry — from those who stand out for their leadership and exemplary achievements to those who work hard every day in the skilled trades but are known only to their crews and families.
For now, we'd like to draw your attention to a particular opportunity: the women who lead us.
VICA, on behalf of the BCCA, is asking for your help in identifying skilled tradeswomen and construction businesswomen who exemplify the best of what our industry has to offer, and who are role models for a new generation entering the construction workforce.
The nomination form only takes a few minutes but it’s impact can last a lifetime: https://goo.gl/forms/W2WsQbcrTkaS2W852
Deadline to nominate is Wednesday, March 14.
We look forward to acknowledging the winners as part of the Construction Leadership Dinner on April 16, 2018.
