I just discovered the podcast and this forum, and am very happy to be here! Rewinding a couple of months....I also just found out that NAWIC exists and that I have advocates here for becoming a WBE. I really look forward to the inspiration that comes with hearing from other women about your journey in this industry (I believe Christi and Angela referred to it as "male populated" rather than male dominated - love that!). My background is in mental health/substance abuse counseling and I only transitioned into the world of construction about 2 1/2 years ago. So much to learn and so many trails to blaze!

I am so happy to have found this group. I am all about woman power, and my professional passion is community programming and grant writing around workforce development. For the last year, in addition to our family owned residential construction business, I've been writing grants for a program that provides services to mothers earning their academic degrees or certificates. It is amazing how successful women can be with some legitimate support. Thank you for having me.

Hello Ladies, I wanted to introduce myself. My name in Rachel Touchet and I've been recruiting in the manufacturing and construction field in Greenville SC for 8 years now. I met Angela last night at a board meeting at Greenville Tech for the welding department. She had the most friendly and inviting demeanor so naturally I decided to sit by her. Very excited to get connected with her and all of you. Looking forward to supporting women in every industry but especially construction. Thank you, Angela for the invitation!
