NAHB’s Professional Women in Building Week celebrates the positive impact women continue to make on the residential construction industry. Showcasing their achievements across all facets of home building – from the trades to sales and marketing to home design and much more – this weeklong celebration aims to promote, train, advance and recruit more women into the field.
Each day highlights a different area of focus via helpful tools and resources worth sharing with your professional networks (for more, go to the PWB Week Toolkit).
Don’t forgot to check out the NAHBNow blog throughout PWB Week to learn more about the many contributions women in building are making make every day.
