In today's episode of Hazard Girls, we are visited by two impressive guests from the National Association of Women in Construction, Anne Pfleger and Kristey Stewart. We open today's episode with a conversation about how Kristey and Anne entered the world of construction and the ‘aha moments’ that sparked their passion for empowering women in the field. Next, we dive into a bit about the work that NAWIC does across the globe and which careers NAWIC is able to provide support for. We talk about two ventures that NAWIC has rolled out, Punchzee and Block Kids, and Anne unpacks why she uses the term ‘male populated’ rather than ‘male dominated’ to describe the construction industry. Kristey tells us how she works with students to help them learn about the diverse opportunities available in construction. As our episode draws to a close, we talk about the effect of the pandemic on women in construction and Anne and Kristey tell us how they are working together to advance a culture of inclusion within NAWIC and why it is a great time to be a woman in construction. Tune in for a hefty dose of hope for the future of women in construction from two people at the forefront of creating opportunity and empowerment for women in the field!
