Construction Dive’s annual Construction Champions program is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the significant contributions of exceptional women leaders within the construction industry. As Women in Construction Week approaches (March 2–8), the program seeks nominations for its upcoming feature, which will highlight a new group of accomplished professionals.

The program invites participation in this important initiative by nominating oneself or a deserving colleague. It is particularly interested in identifying women who are making significant impacts on the commercial construction landscape, demonstrating leadership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.

This year’s categories include: Rising Star, Up-and-Coming Leader, Mentor, Industry Veteran, and Tradeswoman Leader.

These categories are designed to recognize women at all stages of their careers and across various roles within the industry.

The nomination process requires a brief essay detailing the nominee’s achievements and contributions. This provides an opportunity to showcase their specific skills, accomplishments, and the positive impact they have made within their organizations and the broader construction community. Examples of relevant information include specific projects led, innovative solutions implemented, mentorship provided, or contributions to advancing diversity and inclusion within the industry. This information is crucial for the selection committee to fully understand the nominee’s impact.

A panel of Construction Dive editors will carefully review all nominations. Selected nominees will be featured in the Construction Dive newsletter and on its website during Women in Construction Week, providing valuable recognition and visibility for these accomplished women. This platform will allow their stories to inspire and empower others in the field, further promoting the advancement of women in the industry.

The program encourages both first-time and repeat nominations (provided the nominee has not previously been selected) to ensure it continues to recognize the breadth of talent within the industry. To submit a nomination and share the remarkable stories of these outstanding women, individuals should complete the provided form: https://www.constructiondive.com/news/nominate-a-construction-champion/736610/.
