Building The Future

Professional Women in Building is a multi-faceted Council under the National Association of Home Builders. Members of local Home Builders Association can join the PWB Council. PWB dreams of a better tomorrow, and tries to make that happen through community support and student education about the residential building trades. PWB wants to see other women succeed in life, giving them the opportunity to be influential and powerful leaders. Women Builders may be few and far between now, but with the goals and tenacity of the PWB Council, that number is rapidly growing.

Education

The NAHB Professional Women in Building Council (PWB) is committed to educating and inspiring the next generation of builders. Through outreach programs and scholarships, PWB encourages students to explore careers in skilled trades, highlighting the opportunities available in the building industry.
