About our Speaker: Casey received her BA in Political Science & Spanish from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, and a MA in Political Science & Public Administration from Northeastern Illinois University. She held Business Development leadership roles within the commercial furniture industry for 10 years. Today she supports the built environment from a new lens.

About Casey's Program: "Thriving in a Gender Bias Industry: Stepping Up and Stepping In". As a "woman in construction" Casey finds it invaluable to share what a role in this industry means, as well as all others in a non-traditional gender biased role or industry. Specifically, the construction industry as a whole recently celebrated 1 million women in the construction industry for the FIRST TIME EVER, over 14% in the industry!
Take-aways from Casey's Program:
- The missing 33%: What is it and how do we close the gap?
- Stepping Up & In: Here We Come: the data and the impact women are making today in all areas of leadership.
- We've Got This...And Each Other: the importance of mentorship and networking to lift and lead one another.
