Women of the Construction Industry 'Careers in Construction Month'

---

AGC New Mexico is proud to announce the Women of the Construction Industry event was a huge success and what we hope will become an annual event.  The event took place on September 28th at the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum and recognized the women in our industry who ensure the profitability of our member companies. 

We deeply appreciate and benefit from our member’s support and participation in our efforts to advance the interests of the commercial construction industry across our state.  At AGC New Mexico we are proud of our members and their commitment to lead. 

We were honored to see a room full industry professionals both men and women. The value and the power of a collective voice for our industry and its priorities was evident. 

Women ARE a visible component of the construction industry. Creating a support network and raising the awareness of the opportunities available for women in the industry is vital to the growing role women play. Women are valuable employees in the construction industry.

We were also pleased to have young women from ACE Leadership High School and the AGC/UNM Student Chapter seeking mentorship opportunities. For more information, or to register as a Mentor for young women pursuing careers in the commercial construction industry please email Kelly Roepke-Orth.

We would also like to express our gratitude to members of the event committee and to our distinguished panel for sharing their time & insight and for the mentoring roles they have each contributed throughout their careers.
