It was a full house for the first ever Professional Women in Building Council, the new women-focused council just started. Twenty invitees opened the meeting with introductions and a question from Chair Kelly Sorenson. “What are you expecting from this council?’ The answers were as varied as the professions of the members. Clearly the women are looking for networking opportunities, education, and mentoring. The founding leadership are Kelly Sorenson, Lydia Mlouhi, Kathy Parry, and Courtney Yeatman.
“It is exciting to see the twenty plus ladies who came to our first meeting. I am looking forward to bringing information from the TAB meetings in Grapevine later this month, and to see what the PWB Texas is all about” Lydia told the group.
Membership in the PWB is $50 per person with no limit on how many women from a member company can join. Kathy Parry reminded the group that PWB membership forms are available online at www.elpasobuilders.com. Courtney also asked each to come back to the next meeting and bring at least one more with them.
Congratulations to the new Council.
