AGC MA: BWiC Panel Reunion
2024-03-04 16:00 - 18:00 | Wentworth Institute of Technology, 550 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA, 02115, United States
How often is there only one man in a project meeting or on a job site? For the other 50% of the population, we frequently find ourselves as the only woman in these scenarios. While the AEC industry continues to evolve and grow toward a more equitable division in the board room and in the trailer, it has become a critical best practice to promote diversity. The BWiC (Building Women in Construction) committee was established 7 years ago by AGC MA to help eliminate barriers—some of which were historically put up by women themselves.
Join us as we welcome back the original panelists that helped break the glass ceiling and launched the BWiC Advisory Committee. The conversation will focus on how the industry has advanced since 2016 and discuss some of the challenges women still face–particularly at each juncture of their careers.
It was important in 2016 to not just gather women to complain about the inequities, but to start to shift those inequities, provide a support network, and truly boost women to feel empowered. That mission still holds true today!
BWiC aims to connect, empower, recognize and support women within the AGC community and beyond.

It’s a high-quality, interactive orientation for all trades. As of today, the universal orientation is LIVE and being rolled out by participating CMs, including Shawmut, Lee Kennedy, Dimeo, WT Rich, Erland, and more!
To gain a better understanding of the ‘inner workings’ behind the orientation, join us for a one-hour presentation that will (hopefully) answer any questions you may have.
