AZAGC is proud of Arizona's diverse construction workforce, and we are pleased to celebrate Women in Construction Week. Founded by the National Association of Women in Construction 25 years ago, it is dedicated to recognizing the contributions of women.
Women are making a difference in the industry by bringing new skill sets, opinions, and experiences to the office and the field. This diversity makes companies stronger.
As the number of women in the construction industry grows, we would like to thank all of the women serving in vital roles and paving the way for other women to enter the industry. We are proud to recognize the amazing women below:
