In this special episode of Construct-ive Conversations, host Eddie Thompson welcomes three accomplished women in construction to celebrate National Women in Construction Week. Guests include Blair Williamson, owner of SL Williamson Company, a third-generation asphalt pavement and road construction company; Betty Howard, owner of Bruce Howard Contracting, specializing in commercial services and excavation; and Carla Brown, Director and CCIFP at Brown Edwards with 19 years of construction industry experience.
The panel discusses their unique journeys in the construction industry, from Blair's transition from architecture to running her family's paving business, to Betty's bold move from finance to founding her own construction company, and Carla's role in supporting contractors through financial challenges. They share insights about overcoming industry challenges, the evolution of opportunities for women in construction, and the importance of mentorship and networking through organizations like NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction). The conversation highlights how the industry has transformed over the decades, with increasing acceptance and opportunities for women at all levels, while emphasizing the importance of competence, authenticity, and mutual support in achieving success.
