Constructech Celebrates 2018 Women in Construction
CAROL STREAM, Ill. (PRWEB) August 23, 2018 -- Constructech magazine held the Fourth annual 2018 Women in Construction awards at a dinner on Wednesday, August 22 at 7 p.m. at Carlucci Restaurant in Rosemont, Ill.
The evening included a cocktail reception, dinner, and awards presentation. There was also a panel discussion with previous Women in Construction winners that included Lynn Coffey, founder and owner, ProCon Solutions, Nancy Novak, senior vice president, Compass Datacenters, and Jennifer Suerth, vice president, technical services, Pepper Construction.
“I am deeply honored by this award, and to be recognized as part of this accomplished group,” say Jit Kee Chin, chief data officer, Suffolk Construction. “Suffolk is committed to diversity, as it is critical for our industry’s growth and evolution that we harness the talents of every individual regardless of gender. At the same time, I look forward to the near future when we no longer need to separately celebrate the success of women, as we will have achieved equality.”
Constructech magazine’s 2018 Women in Construction recognizes the most successful women working at some of the most forward-thinking and technology-driven companies that are leading the transformation change within the construction industry. Nominations were submitted to the editorial staff at Constructech magazine and then winners were chosen by a group of their peers.
“I truly appreciate all of the women that I had the pleasure to spend one-on-one with at this year’s event, which continues to grow yearly” says Peggy Smedley, editorial director of Constructech magazine and president of Specialty Publishing Media. “It was a great evening to celebrate the achievements of some pretty impressive women as well as to take the time to learn from each other. When we all come together we can do great things to help move-the-needle forward for women and for construction as a whole.”
