Professional Women in Construction

PWC is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to support, advance, and connect women and promote diversity in the architecture, engineering, construction, and related fields. Fourteen industry leaders in Chicago came together in 2021 to extend that mission to the first midwestern chapter. Our vision is implemented by actively engaging our members in career development, hosting events that facilitate connection and foster open conversation, and providing leadership opportunities on member-driven committees. We welcome all genders in our membership - together we can do more to support women in our industry!

We support, advance, and connect women and promote diversity within the architecture, engineering, construction and related industries.

Brittany studied Criminal Justice at Purdue University, but transitioned into construction through a 12-week pre-apprenticeship program at Revolution Workshop in 2018.
