We would love to have you at our next event! Check out our Facebook page or contact us for details or sponsorship opportunities!
GIVE BACK
Throughout the year, our PWB is looking for ways to give back to the community and industry we love. Activities range from helping source items for HBF fundraisers to staining fences for a local nonprofit.
Passionate about supporting women in building, we are the proudest of establishing the PWB Scholarship Fund. Launched in 2022, we have raised over $10K and it's still growing!
