About PWC Chicago

Professional Women in Construction

PWC is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to support, advance, and connect women and promote diversity in the architecture, engineering, construction, and related fields. Fourteen industry leaders in Chicago came together in 2021 to extend that mission to the first midwestern chapter. Our vision is implemented by actively engaging our members in career development, hosting events that facilitate connection and foster open conversation, and providing leadership opportunities on member-driven committees. We welcome all genders in our membership - together we can do more to support women in our industry!

Chicago is the first midwest chapter of PWC. It was established in 2021 by 14 women who decided that if they banded together, they could support each other in advancing their careers and businesses in the AEC industries. This vision is at the core of what we do.

Men are welcome and key to what we do because we know, together we are better.

Our Members

Our members represent a broad spectrum of the construction industry. Membership is open to professional women and men, private companies and public agencies in construction and allied industries.
