From March 7-13, ABC celebrated Women in Construction Week to raise awareness of the growing role of women in the construction industry and encourage women to consider a career in construction. ABC demonstrated the success of women in the industry through social media posts, letters to the editor and op-eds published in various media outlets.

On social media, ABC National shared quotes and photos of women in the merit shop community, while chapters shared more than 75 ABC stories using the hashtag #WICWeek2021. ABC also shared stories and highlighted members on its social media platforms. The photos and quotes can be found on ABC’s Flickr page.

Highlights of the media coverage include:

• “Looking for a Job in 2021? Women, the Construction Industry Needs You” on Fox Business
• “Letter to the Editor: Rebuilding the Women Workforce and Rebuilding America Go Hand in Hand” in the Effingham Daily News, Illinois
