Women in Construction Week was founded by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) in 1953 as a tool to bring women from around the industry together. The goals of the week stretch across every corner of the construction industry, and include changing the mindset that women are only supposed to fill select jobs. This year, Women in Construction Week fell during the same week as the 2020 EIMA Annual Meeting.

As anyone in the industry can tell you, there’s a real shortage of skilled labor in drywall and the trades in general. What most people don’t talk about, though, is how few women work in this industry – and what an untapped resource they represent.

In an industry typically dominated by men, women continue to push the limits, encouraging others to follow suit and serving as an inspiration for how to be successful.
