The Professional Women in Building Council is a diverse network of home building industry professionals representing the entire spectrum of work in residential construction. For more than 60 years, members have made meaningful strides to build a more diverse workforce, mentor the next generation of female building professionals, and bring awareness to the important role women serve in the residential construction industry. Members of PWB connect, collaborate and encourage each other through activities that promote, enhance and support home building and women in the industry.

Members of the PWB raise funds throughout the year, and accept donations made by individuals and companies. The amount awarded each year differs for this reason. You may find out more information by calling the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans at (504) 837-2700.
