The national voice for women construction owners and executives. Creating opportunity, championing advocacy, and connecting the leaders shaping America's built environment.
Over 40 years ago, a group of forward-thinking women construction entrepreneurs came together to help each other succeed in a male-dominated industry and to address industry-related inequities through legislation. What began as a small circle of mutual support has grown into Women Construction Owners & Executives — the leading national voice advocating for women business owners and executives in the construction industry.
Today, WCOE is dedicated to elevating the voices and achievements of women in construction across America. We provide resources, networking opportunities, and legislative advocacy for our members’ growth and success — and together, we’re building a level playing field for the next generation of women in this industry.
Our members own and operate construction management, general contracting, subcontracting, design, engineering, service, supply, and manufacturing companies. We build large and small facilities across America for federal agencies as well as public and private sector organizations.
