A Collaboration of The Boldt Company and Graham Images

Join us at TWBN 2025 and be part of the SHE LEADS Portrait Project!

Tradeswomen Build Nations is the largest gathering of unionized tradeswomen in the world! This year we are excited to be partnering with The Boldt Company to have a booth and host our She Leads Portrait Project.

She Leads is all about shining a light on women in the trades and empowering other women to pursue careers in the AEC industries. The final images and video from the booth will be used to create a motivational video for promoting women in the trades.

She Leads Portrait Project

”Working in construction provides a fast-paced environment with ample job security. Each employee is empowered to step out of their comfort zone and learn something new. There’s no feeling like being able to take pride in the work that I create with my own two hands. Everything I build is a reflection of my work, and I am so proud of that.”

/// Zaina Schoepel/Shop Carpenter, The Boldt Company

”Once a woman gains some hands on experience, she'll see more doors open for her. There are many opportunities for women to take up space in this industry, there is a supportive community waiting for her.”

/// Tia Menore/Quality Control Manager, Peters Concrete
