PWB Week: Unconventional Paths to the Residential Construction Industry

Despite comprising only 11% of the construction workforce, women are forging bold paths in this traditionally male-dominated field. This webinar explores how some women are entering residential construction through nontraditional routes including career changes, entrepreneurship and unexpected opportunities. Moderated by Andi Dirkschneider, this session will provide compelling insights and personal stories from industry leaders including NAHB's 2023 Chair Alicia Huey, Danielle Gutelli, co-founder of Clark + Aldine, Tammie Ross, author and CEO of Residence by Ross, and Geraldine Smith, owner of All Inclusive Construction & Building. Together, they’ll share how they’ve overcome barriers, built credibility and fostered supportive communities within the trades. Whether you’re new to the industry, a seasoned professional or an advocate for equity within residential construction, this conversation offers practical strategies for supporting inclusion and driving innovation. This webinar is sponsored by Andersen Windows & Doors
