Werk-Brau Hosts 2nd Annual Women in Construction Summit, Reinforces Commitment to Education, Sustainability and Cool Attachments
Werk-Brau is hosting its second annual Women in Construction Summit at its headquarters in Findlay, Ohio. This two-day event offers networking, professional development and empowerment opportunities for women in the construction industry. Scheduled for February 18-19 and February 19-20, the summit features nationally recognized speakers, panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions tailored to equip attendees with knowledge and confidence to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field. From the press release:
“Advocating for Women in Construction aligns with Werk-Brau’s core values of building better lives. We’re dedicated to the principle that ‘everybody matters’ and we always strive to ‘do the right thing,” said National Sales Manager Dale DeWeese. “We’re excited to host this important event and are eager to welcome those who are already working within the industry as well as those who are exploring its possibilities.”
The summit coincides with Women in Construction Week, celebrated annually in early March. In 2025, Women in Construction Week will be held March 2-8. This week will highlight the contributions of women in construction. It will showcases their successes and raises awareness about opportunities for women in this evolving industry.
Commitment to Philanthropy and Community
Werk-Brau’s dedication to the industry extends beyond education and empowerment. The company recently hosted the second annual Werk-Brau Golf Classic, raising over $100,000 for Construction Angels, a nonprofit supporting families of construction workers who have died on the job. Held at the Ohio State University Golf Club, the event brought together contractors, suppliers and industry professionals to support this critical cause. From a unique excavator putting contest to a full day of networking, the tournament highlighted the camaraderie within the construction industry while benefiting those in need.
