NAWIC Cleveland Chapter 156 is proud to be included in the December issue of Properties Magazine (page 6) for our recent panel discussion on “Gender Bias in the Industry.” Held on October 3rd at Cuyahoga Community College’s Manufacturing Technology Center, the event brought together leaders in construction to discuss challenges and strategies for advocating for women and inclusivity in the industry.
Moderated by Allison Taller Reich of Frantz Ward LLP, the panel included dynamic speakers who shared valuable insights:

The discussion provided actionable takeaways for attendees, focusing on breaking down barriers, fostering inclusivity, and creating a more equitable workplace.
