Skiles Group Celebrates WIC Week 2025

March 7, 2025

Women in Construction Week provides a perfect opportunity to spotlight the incredible women who help shape our projects, our teams, and our entire industry.

We celebrated the week with one of our favorite traditions: a luncheon for the incredible women who help build our success every day. This year’s gathering had extra meaning, as we wore our PPE in honor of Buddy Brumley, who ensured these events happened year after year. Buddy believed in celebrating our team and making sure everyone felt seen; we’re proud to continue this tradition in his memory.

We asked some of our team members—plus a few amazing clients and partners—to share why they love construction and what makes their work exciting and fulfilling. View the video below to hear from them. Huge thanks to Katayoun Mokhtarzadeh and Kari Westrup from Skiles Group, Mande Mees with Children’s Health, Lisa Kincaid with Page, and Saumya Thakur with ADAMS Management Services Corporation for sharing your insights and passion with us!

Organized by the National Association of Women in Construction, WIC Week recognizes the impact women have on our industry, spotlighting the many career paths available, and celebrating the leadership, creativity, and expertise women bring to the table. This year’s theme, Together We Rise, couldn’t be more fitting, because when we lift each other up, the whole industry gets stronger.
