Collin College Women in Construction Event Quote from Teresa Williams (2026 PWB Chair): Wrapping up Women in Construction Week at the Collin College Women in Construction Conference 2026 was truly inspiring. It was incredible to see so many students, industry leaders, and future builders in one room having real conversations about careers in construction. Events like this create space for mentorship, connection, and encouragement for the next generation entering our industry. The lineup of speakers was outstanding, sharing honest stories about their journeys, challenges, and the opportunities that exist in construction and the trades.One of the most meaningful moments was seeing scholarships awarded to students pursuing careers in construction. I’m especially proud that the Professional Women in Building Council of the Dallas Builders Association contributed $15,000 in scholarship funding, helping support students as they begin their path in this industry.
