Why This Matters
Women make up just 10.3% of the construction workforce — and that number shrinks to 2–4% in several skilled trades. With labor shortages across the industry, recruiting and retaining diverse talent isn't just the right thing to do — it's a business imperative. The WIC Conference is where contractors, executives, and industry leaders come together to have that conversation and walk away with tools to act on it.
