Ready to take your career to the next
level and connect with amazing women?

Historically the facilities maintenance and construction industry has been a male dominated industry, however, more and more women with high competence and technical skills are entering the industry. 

Studies have shown that a woman's personality traits and background characteristics are very different than males in similar roles and capacities. It is also proven that women learn differently, engage differently, network differently and are viewed differently. 

The Woman in Facilities Maintenance and Construction Group focuses on exactly those differences and provides resources and tools to support members in achieving success in their careers, plus a place where members can:

• Learn new skills that will enhance your career and business opportunities.
• Network with industry peers and cultivate long term relationships
• Share best practices and be mentored by leading industry professionals.
• Have access to top minds, new strategies and visibility techniques to enhance your positioning.
• Become an expert and assist others in their development.
• Most importantly, join a community of women focused on giving back.

Yes!  The key difference in our community is that our group exists to not only support the women in our industry but to fund our philanthropic activities and charitable mission to support women of disadvantage and need. 

As a member of this group, you too will have input into the organizations we support and the opportunity to make a real difference in the life of another woman.

By signing up today, you will immediately have access to information, tools, resources and much more for all of your professional and personal development needs. We have also added a forum for our members to interact, network and ask questions.  Learn more here..
