Last week, we celebrated the strength, skill, and resilience of women shaping our built environment. Our Vermont team concluded Women in Construction Week by joining a build day with Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity. Seven months ago, we volunteered at a property in St. Albans, where we completed framing and installed a ZIP sheathing system. On Friday, we had the rewarding opportunity to return to that same property, this time focusing on drywall installation.
This is truly my favorite day of the year. Working side by side with talented women from various departments and projects—many of whom I don’t typically connect with in my daily work—was inspiring. We all came together, rolled up our sleeves, and dedicated our efforts to making a positive impact in someone’s life.
Check out more about our day with Habitat for Humanity in this NBC 5 story.
Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity perfectly embodies what Women in Construction Week stands for: mentorship, empowerment, and meaningful, hands-on impact. As I reflect on this year’s celebration, my advice to women considering a career in the construction industry is to take the leap—step outside your comfort zone and never hesitate to ask questions. I am grateful every day to be part of the incredible PC team!
