Events | More Opportunities

We are proud to celebrate Women in Construction (WIC) Week from March 2 - 8, 2025! This year marks the 27th anniversary of this national week-long celebration, highlighting the incredible contributions of women in the construction industry.

The 2025 theme, “Together We Rise,” embodies the strength of community, unity, and growth. Through collaboration, we continue to inspire and support the future of women in construction.

We have partnered with local chapters of NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) and Women of Asphalt to bring our members four unique opportunities to connect and engage with construction professionals across the Carolinas. Join us at events in Charlotte, Raleigh, Charleston, and Columbia for job site tours, networking luncheons, engaging presentations, and more!

How You Can Participate:

• Attend local WIC Week events in your area. Find details at wicweek.org.
• Organize your own campaigns, workshops, or outreach efforts to celebrate women in construction.
• Share your celebrations with us! Email Katie Freseman with details on how you’re recognizing WIC Week. Feel free to include photos and highlights of your events.

Join us in celebrating the contributions of women in construction and the role they play in shaping our industry’s future!

Fact: While the most recent U.S. Census estimates that women comprise 50.5% of the U.S. population, they still make up just 11% of the overall construction workforce. This percentage has increased in recent years, but much of this increase is confined to women in managerial, technical, and administrative roles. In fact, within construction craft professional positions, where the greatest shortages exist, less than 4% are women.

Women in Construction Events

We are excited to partner with local NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) and Women in Asphalt Chapters to bring our members four opportunities to celebrate and connect across the Carolinas during Women in Construction Week. We are looking forward to seeing ALL of our members in Charlotte, Raleigh, Charleston and Columbia!
