2023 WIC Industry Event
A/E/C women are invited to join us Tuesday, March 7th to celebrate Women in Construction (WIC) at our annual WIC Industry Event!
As part of Mortenson’s continued commitment to WIC Week, taking place this year between March 5-11, we are once again hosting this event to bring together women in our industry to connect, learn and empower - all while collectively reinforcing a more inclusive, resilient and equitable future.
Enjoy food, drinks and great networking with the women and leadership teams from Mortenson Denver, and YOU, the women we gain inspiration from in the construction industry.
New this year, our event is collecting sponsors with proceeds to benefit three local organizations that Mortenson regularly supports, each promoting education and introducing young girls to careers in construction: Girls Inc. of Metro Denver, STEMblazers, and Transportation & Construction Girl.
