serves in an advisory capacity to state

and local agencies. We work with the

City of New York in certifying Women

Business Enterprises. WBC encourages

corporations and the building

trades to appoint women to serve as

board members in their respective

organizations. We work with the

industry on best practices. We have met

with many elected officials in City Hall,

Albany and Washington D.C. to share

our ideas. Our recommendations have

been welcomed. WBC members serve

as mentors to young women in our

industry. We understand that our future

is in the hands of those who will soon

join us and strengthen the foundation

that we are building.

We have exciting plans for growing

women’s roles in the expansive building

industry and increasing both business

and professional opportunities at all

levels. Let your voice be heard.

Join with us!

The women of WBC are exceptionally

talented individuals. Our all-volunteer

Board of Directors is comprised of

leading women business owners and

building industry executives who bring

unparalleled experience, knowledge

and dedication to the cause.

Throughout our great nation, there

are thousands of women who have

businesses in the building industry. Here

in New York, women in the building

industry generate millions of dollars

that contribute to the economic growth

of the state and city.

Our goal is to make it possible for

many more women to achieve their

professional and personal objectives.

WBC is determined to eliminate

unnecessary barriers that have deterred

women and minorities from being

fully active participants in New York’s

construction industry.

WBC’S MISSION WBC empowers women and promotes diversity throughout the construction industry.

Women Builders Council, Inc. (WBC) was founded by several women business owners who recognized the challenges of doing business in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Established in 2004, today it has grown to be one of the leading voices for women business owners and women professionals in construction. Its Board includes many of the leading women in construction. Since WBC’s inception, WBC membership has grown in both reputation and numbers.

WBC is the leading association representing women in the construction industry. WBC is comprised of the construction industry’s top women executives dedicated to the continued growth and expansion of the organization’s reputation and membership.

“Our organization has grown from its founding seven women business owners to an institution that represents many of New York’s leading construction firms,” says Deborah Bradley, President of WBC.

WBC leads women in construction on several important fronts: legislative advocacy, new business development and professional development with a special focus on leadership. WBC provides a dynamic forum that advances industry knowledge, addresses the barriers that prevent women from growing and facilitates solutions for policy makers and industry leaders.
