Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Chesapeake, Baltimore and NAMC/DC chapters will host a diversity mixer for women construction owners, suppliers, engineers, architects and other service related industries.
Women in Construction: Growing Together will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007 at BWI Marriott, 1743 W. Nursery Road, Baltimore, 6 – 8pm. The purpose of this event is threefold:
- to provide WBEs an opportunity to meet prime contractors;
- to help WBEs access new resources and business opportunities;
- to enhance coordination and cooperation between ABC and NAMC to promote both organizations’ national objectives
“We have received overwhelming support from our Chapter’s leadership. Diversity is a necessary element of construction here in Maryland and we are striving to be a part this effort,” says Chairwoman Kathy Wilmot, Board of Directors/ABC Baltimore. Echoing these sentiments, Pamela Volm of ABC Chesapeake says “This is something our chapter is quite interested in …we want more women and minority businesses to become members of ABC.”
