2024 Women in Construction Leadership & Networking Conference

Our 2024 Women in Construction Leadership & Networking Conference was a Huge Success!

Delegates experienced a day of empowerment, networking, thought-provoking insights, learning, and valuable takeaways, during our 2024 Women in Construction Forum on Friday, October 4, 2024. Thank you to Honourable Fred Hutton, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure and Rodrigue Gilbert, CCA President for taking time of their schedules to extend cordial warm greetings to the delegates of the event. We appreciate your ongoing support in empowering women in the construction industry. Also, thank you to Derek Brown, NLCA Board Chair for bringing greetings on behalf of NLCA; to Valerie Penney, for chairing the event and welcoming everyone; Tonya Knopp, for welcoming our guest speakers; and to Rhonda Neary for her innovative vision in creating this event to bring together a community of trailblazers.

The highly successful empowering event, in its third year, has grown 84% since the inaugural event in 2022. The event echoes that it is not just about the structures we build, but the bridges we forge between each other, the knowledge we share, and the barriers we break. Throughout the business sessions guest speakers and delegates explored the challenges that they have overcame, the achievements they’ve celebrated, and the strategies that have propelled them forward. It was a platform to empower, educate and connect.

Thank you Joanne Thompson – St. John’s East for your continued support of #womeninconstrution and for recognizing NLCA at the national level for our strides & initiatives to empower, support & propel women forward in the construction industry.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, President and staff of NLCA, we would like to thank all sponsors, guest speakers and delegates for your continued support ensuring the success of events such as this one. Also, thank you to our amazing & talented event photographer Dru Kennedy! We are always grateful to work with you and see your professionalism in action. #NLCAWICCONFERENCE2024
