Brasfield & Gorrie Observes Women in Construction Week

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Brasfield & Gorrie is joining with the National Association of Women in Construction in observing Women in Construction Week March 5-11.

Established by NAWIC, the week aims to highlight women as a visible component of the construction industry, to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in construction and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry.

Brasfield & Gorrie is committed to building strength through diversity and inclusion in its company, people, partnerships and communities. Women have played key roles in the company since its inception. In fact, one of its five founders, Imogene Powell, served as an early pioneer among women in the industry.

As part of Brasfield & Gorrie’s observation of Women in Construction Week, the company will host events and activities at its regional offices, several of which are hosting roundtable discussions to foster dialogue on important issues and provide forums to discuss opportunities relevant to women in the construction industry. These forums will engage members of the company’s Women’s Operational Resource Group, including project managers, estimators, operations managers and virtual design and construction professionals, among other leaders. Other regional offices are joining with community partners to support Women in Construction Week events.

Later this month, Brasfield & Gorrie will join other organizations in sponsoring the NAWIC Southeast Region Forum, which will be held March 31–April 1.
