Our Women in Construction (WIC) group had an incredible time volunteering at Feed the Need St. Louis!

Together, we packed 849 boxes of meals — totaling 183,384 meals for those in need. 💛

It’s hard to ignore the reality that hunger claims a life every 4 seconds across the globe, which makes opportunities like this even more meaningful. We’re proud to support such an important cause and give back to our community in a hands-on way.

A special thank you to American Metals for providing our team t-shirts — we looked great while doing good!

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make a difference — and had a great time doing it!

Last night we pressed our buzzers and brought the energy to Game Show Battle Rooms to celebrate Women in Construction Week! 🎤✨

From big laughs to some silly competitive moments, it was such a fun night connecting with the amazing women who help build and strengthen our industry every day. Thank you to everyone who came out and played along with us!

A big thank you to our sponsor Crescent Parts for helping make the evening possible and for supporting Women in Construction Week. We had a blast! 🛠️💥

👷‍♀️✨ Celebrating Women in Construction Week! ✨👷‍♀️

This week, SMACNA St. Louis proudly recognizes the talented, dedicated, and hardworking women who help build, lead, and strengthen our industry every single day.

From the field to the office, from apprentices to executives, women play a vital role in shaping the future of sheet metal and the entire construction community. Their expertise, leadership, innovation, and resilience continue to move our industry forward.

We are grateful for the impact women make across our member companies and throughout the St. Louis construction community.

Join us in celebrating the achievements of women in construction — and in continuing to support opportunities that inspire the next generation to build their futures in our industry.

✨ Yesterday, our Women in Construction Lunch & Learn was an inspiring afternoon! ✨

We welcomed Derlene Hirtz of You Empowered Services to speak on “Redefining Success: Embracing Excellence and Work/Life Balance in a Male-Dominated World.”

Derlene was funny, relatable, and left us with so many takeaways. She encouraged us to seek harmony, not balance—and to strive for excellence, not perfection. 💡

A big thank you to Derlene and to everyone who joined us for this empowering and thought-provoking event! 👏
