Visionary leadership shapes not only projects, but the future of our industry. This award honors a woman on the ownership, development, or owner’s project management side who brings strategic insight, financial acumen, and unwavering direction from concept to completion. Beyond delivering impactful projects, she champions equity, mentors others, and inspires the next generation to lead with purpose.

Raw talent is seldom enough in any field, without the guiding light of those older and wiser figures willing to share their experiences and life lessons, and this award is aimed at precisely those who have worked to ‘pay it forward’ to inspire, nurture and educate the next generation.

We are looking for leading innovators and stand-out performances across the industry in this category which seeks to identify the “ones to watch”.

The award highlights individuals who are destined for great things and who are making their mark on the industry as they embark on the career ladder.

This is an award for those who not only know their tradecraft, but are keen to develop it further, who show a commitment to their career and to the industry, be they employed by a construction business, or operating their own outfit.

This award celebrates a graduating female student in higher ed with a concentration in construction management. The recipient of this category will receive a $500 scholarship courtesy of the AGC MA BWiC Advisory committee.
