Women in Construction Week

March 5-11, 2023

Especially during this week, we celebrate women at EverGreene who are making their mark in construction. As women continue to break barriers, their work opens doors for future generations. We are proud of their accomplishments as every day, we strive for a more diverse and inclusive work environment. Women in Construction is a movement that you can support year-round.

Every year since 1995, March is designated Women’s History Month, honoring women’s contributions in American history. Women in Construction Week is celebrated during the first week. March 8 also marks International Women’s Day (IWD), a focal point in the women’s rights movement. The year’s theme is #EmbraceEquity. Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where differences are valued and celebrated.
