The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) has announced its plans to honor exceptional women in the steel construction industry as part of the 2025 Women in Construction Week, taking place March 2–8, 2025.
Nominations for the recognition are now open and can be submitted online until Jan. 7, 2025.
The initiative aims to spotlight women working in various roles within the steel construction sector, from field positions to executive leadership.
To kick off the campaign, the SEAA Marketing Committee selected a logo designed by Dani Carville, safety coordinator for SEAA member-company S.L. Chasse Steel, Hudson, New Hampshire.
“Being an ironworker has long been viewed as a man’s profession, but these days more and more women are working in this industry. They are competent and skilled and it’s time to celebrate that,” said Carville.
“We want to highlight women working in all aspects of the industry — from field positions to executives,” Tammy Dean, chief financial officer, Gardner-Watson Decking, Oldsmar, Florida, and member of the SEAA Marketing Committee said.
The nomination form asks for information about the nominee’s professional achievements, contributions to a team or project, examples of her leadership, mentorship, or collaboration, her contributions to community, as well as personal qualities.
Nominations are open to anyone, whether the individual is working for a SEAA member or not
Finalists will be featured on SEAA’s social media channels during the 2025 Women in Construction week.
