    What It's About

    Gender equity in the construction industry by 2040 is a bold goal. But Nora El-Khouri Spencer, NAHB’s 2022 Woman of the Year, believes that, in the words of Rosie the Riveter, we can do it - just like women have proven with every other major cultural change we have taken on throughout history!

    Join us for an uplifting conversation as Nora shares details about her nonprofit Hope Renovations and how she created an organization that is breaking barriers in our industry by empowering underemployed women into the places we have traditionally been missing from. You will be inspired by how this movement has gained steam over the years, as Nora shares lessons learned from creating a program that draws on all the things women are good at – building teams, building community and building opportunities – to make our industry and our world a better place.
